A basic review is carried out with regard to (i) Shape Grammar, (ii) Finite Strip Method-based elastic buckling analysis, (iii) Direct Strength Method-based structural strength computation and (iv) modified procedure of the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm.
The saponification of waxes was carried by modified procedure of Morrison and Smith [17], dissolving the waxes (0.25 g) in benzene/methanol (1 1, 10 ml), followed by the addition of 95% ethanol (25 ml) and 60% aqueous potassium hydroxide (5 ml) and refluxed for 8 h [15, 17].
Polyethylene glycol P(Glu) block copolymers were synthesised according to the slightly modified procedure of the previously reported synthetic method of PEG-P(Asp) (Nishiyama and Kataoka, 2001).
Cisplatin-incorporating polymeric micelles NC-60044) were prepared according to the slightly modified procedure of the previously reported synthetic method of CDDP-incorporating polymeric micelles (Nishiyama et al, 2003).
The reported modified procedures includes the use of several new catalysts [9 13], solvent media [14 17], performing the reaction under high pressure [18 20], exposure to ultrasound energy [21] etc.
Oxoacetic acids 19 and 20 were prepared from modified procedures related to the synthesis of zolpidem.
The ALE meta-analysis was performed using GingerALE 2.1.1 (http://brainmap.org/) with MNI coordinates (Talairach coordinates were automatically converted into MNI coordinates by GingerALE .. Following Eickhoff et al.'s modified procedure [ 58], the ALE values of each voxel in the brain were computed and a test was performed to determine the null distribution of the ALE statistic of each voxel.
To observe growth kinetics within the host, we modified the procedures of Uchiyama et al.[ 49].
Spirometric data were obtained using a spirometry system following the modified 1987 procedures of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and American Thoracic Society ATSS).
In order to make the dual fluorescence assay more convenient, we modified the procedures of plasmid construction so as to speed up the workflow.
