The current experiment was designed to mimic a situation where an oil spill occurs during a cyanobacterial bloom by exposing the amphipod Gammarus oceanicus to a NOD-rich cyanobacterial extract and the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compound benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), a common constituent of oil.
With the aim to mimic a situation comparable to that expected in animals with pre-clinical disease, we also studied the differential solubility of C1 and C2 after mixing equal amounts of NBH and SBH (Fig. 2B).
The present protocol was developed to mimic a situation where final-year veterinary students perform herniorrhaphy as part of their surgical training.
To mimic a situation like an H5-positive donation, a purified culture supernatant of Vero cells infected with influenza (H5N1) (strain A/Thailand/1 (KAN-1)/2004) (6 ) was used as an external quantification standard.
With this experiment, we wanted to mimic a situation of multi-sensitization followed by T cells reactivation with either wild-type allergens alone or mixed, or the hybrid proteins, which could be a possible scenario in allergy treatment.
To mimic a situation in which a patient would undergo pre- and post-therapy PET scans on different generation PET systems, standardized uptake values (SUVs) for OSEM reconstruction were compared to SUVs for PSFEANM and PSFallpass reconstruction.
Our illustration analyzes a variant of the Rosenbrock function in which several effects are made statistically insignificant while others are strongly coupled, therefore, mimicking a situation that is often encountered in practice.
These unusual stimuli fool the perceptual system by mimicking a situation in which the excitability of some neurons has been increased (and others possible decreased).
By contrast, the model predicted a much lower temperature coefficient for denitrification if we mimicked a situation in which oxygen was unaffected by temperature by keeping DO at 1 mg l−1.
Fig. 4 gives one example mimicking a situation for a receiver placed on a leaf of the plant Aechmea magdalenae, when a male is tremulating within the calyx of the plant (where males have been observed tremulating in the first hours of nocturnal activity).
This mimicked a situation with completely random attrition.
