Raman and Rayleigh microspectrometries, which are non-destructive and remote analysis methods, were used to map concentration and size distribution of the carbon grains in whole fibres sections.
Our results did not confirm this finding, but we found the significant positive correlation between maximum serum Pig-MAP concentration and degree of turbinate atrophy (turbinate score).
Community members carried portable monitors on the streets in a 1-mile radius around a large bus terminal to create a geographic information system (GIS) map of concentrations and gathered data on site characteristics that could predict ambient concentrations.
From 10 dpi the Pig-MAP concentrations had decreased and did not differ significantly between control and infected pigs.
Figure 1 shows mapped concentrations for BS and SO2 for 1971.
For this reason the sampling of contaminated soil, for instance, may employ random, systematic, or judgment-based sampling plans in order to achieve a given set of objectives (e.g., mapping concentration gradients and locating "hot spots").
On the other hand, the qPCR results can overestimate the viable Map concentration, as the non-viable bacteria are also determined with this method.
At exsanguination, blood samples were collected for the assessment of lactate, cortisol, creatine kinase (CK), haptoglobin and Pig-MAP concentrations.
ADC maps, concentrations of N-acetylaspartate, choline, creatine, lipids, and lactate, and metabolite ratios were determined.
In addition, the content of nitric oxide (NO) and activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release increased when the cells incubated with MAP at various concentrations and times.
