It is recommended that these measures be kept as simple as possible but at the same time produce structures with substantially higher blast resistance.
Both measures were kept over eight days.
The measures were kept as simple as possible because of anticipated difficulties for the teams in obtaining these data for a 12-month period.
Repeats were filtered according to the following rule: a measure was kept if either (1) both repeats were under the growth threshold or (2) the relative difference between the repeats was lower than 50% of the highest value.
Estimating a discrete version of the HAQ and a continuous measure of the ACR allows us to compare binary and continuous outcomes while the measure is kept fixed.
Body temperature, measured rectally, was kept at 37.1°C to 37.3°C using a feedback-controlled heating pad.
For interpretability, the primary exposure (either the organochlorine measure or MeHg) was kept continuous, and the secondary exposure was dichotomized into the higher one-third versus the lower two-thirds of exposure.
Before Doppler evaluation, the diameter and area of portal vein were measured, the animal was kept in left lateral decubitus position and the transducer was placed on the right lateral body wall, at approximately the 10th or 11th intercostal space, in the porta hepatis region, in which the right kidney was not observed, as previously proposed by other authors [ 7] (Fig. 1).
A 0.5 ml portion of the suspension was then transferred to an Eppendorf tube, and the remaining portion was kept to measure the protein content.
To avoid a change in firing activity of the cell due to stimulation, current measured by the amplifier (Iamp) was kept at 0 pA [38].
