In order to identify and characterize the phase transformations of a material, we measure the heat-flow between our sample and an inert reference material as they are heated and cooled together.
Records of the force elongation relationship allowed to define the stiffness (N/mm) of the tested material, which we measured in the low-stress area also called as the "comfort" zone, the average slope of the force elongation curve and the length of the former zone.
For radial silk, elasticity is also the most variable material property we measured in Caerostris silk.
We obtained ∼15 million reads per individual (supplementary table S1, Supplementary Material online), and we measured the expression of a total of 9,770 genes in the baboon ovary.
Because medium concentration-dependent intracellular PBDE accumulation in vitro follows a linear kinetic (Mundy et al. 2004) and neurosphere material is limited, we measured only 1 μM C-BDE-47 medium concentration.
Materials and methods We measured heart rate and cardiac output before and after volume expansion (500 mL saline over 10 30 min) performed in patients with acute circulatory failure.
Therefore, we examined the effect of the two psychosocial factors that we measured (material hardship and demoralization, considered together and separately) in regression analyses of the child's development at 48 months.
By ensuring that the band intensities are within a linear range (supplementary material Fig. S1A), we measured relative protein levels of endogenous myosin isoforms in the parental cells and GFP-tagged myosin isoforms in the overexpressed cells using myosin IIA and IIB antibodies (supplementary material Fig. S1B).
On the projection image along the AP axis (supplementary material Fig. S4B), we measured cell-division orientation as τ, the angle between the line that connects projected positions of two daughter cell nuclei, Apro′ and Apro″, and the tangential line that crosses mother nucleus along the lens circumference (blue line in supplementary material Fig. S4B).
