During the final 10 d of each period, ration digestibility and energy use was measured, the latter in indirect open-circuit respiration calorimeters.
To measure the latter two, we applied indicators invariant to absolute equal change in the mortality distributions that are derived from the variance.
These extremes happen either when a decimal is misplaced, or when the wrong tree is measured, the latter plausible when two stems are in contact.
Secondly, reversible phenomena that co-exist with damage during the development of fatigue processes make it difficult to accurately measure the latter.
The microstructure (mainly void content and spatial distribution) and the mechanical properties of the matrix and fibre/matrix interface were measured, the latter by means of nanoindentation tests in matrix pockets, and fibre push-in tests.
The whole purpose of an interview was to serve as a proxy for actual performance, because we didn't have the tools and infrastructure to easily observe and measure the latter: but now that we do, it is the height of cargo-cult stupidity not to use them.
To rule out, that NMJ sizes simply followed a decrease in fibre diameter, we measured the latter characteristic for some muscles at P14 and P20.
After an additional 12 days, when all capsules were fully ripened, height and fitness parameters were measured; the latter was estimated by lifetime seed capsule production.
