The large number of different methods and specimen types currently required to generate three-dimensional allowables for structural design slows down the material characterization.
Two investigators (GC and BZ) independently evaluated the eligibility of all retrieved studies and extracted the original information, including the first author's name, year of publication, average age, type of disease, geographic distribution, sample size of cases and controls, peripheral blood PAPP-A level, detecting methods and specimen type.
The G Ic data is highly consistent for each specimen between methods, and between specimens of each method (small values of standard deviation).
A description of the imaging method and specimen preparation procedure is presented, as are images of features from the cochlea, ossicles, and vestibular system.

Drafting a timely report, however, proved to be far more difficult than performing the tests, owing to back-tracking by some protagonists concerning earlier agreement on the methods and the specimens to be used, and I think that the federal agencies tried too hard to reach a consensus where none existed.
Two placement methods and two specimen sizes were considered to provide different fiber orientations, and image analysis was carried out to quantitatively evaluate the fiber orientation.
Other parameters, such as cytogenetic methods and interpretation, specimen collection method, RNA extraction method and MMA operator or instrument variability, were confounded with each site.
Among them, 8 specimens (for the Tsunakawa Shaw method) and 3 specimens (for the IZZI-Thellier method) passed a set of strict selection criteria used in the final evaluation of validity.
