Beliefs can be very conjectural but arguably plausible in the light of our more directly tested scientific hypotheses.
In this study, we design an economic experiment to more directly test information preferences – we examine consumers' revealed choices to take or ignore information on country of origin.
At present, further studies are needed to more directly test the role of SIRT1 in mediating beneficial effects of resveratrol, to evaluate other strategies for SIRT1 activation, and to confirm the specific targets of SIRT1 that are relevant in vivo.
To more directly test knowledge about the mathematical relationships involved in solving robot motion problems, this questionnaire consisted of eight open-ended questions about the quantitative relationships between the robot's motor rotations, wheel rotations, and distances (e.g., "Are the number of wheel rotations related to the distance that the robot moves forward?").
Future research, using a within-subjects design, can more directly test this hypothesis.
Next, we more directly tested the hypothesis that a 30 minute 4% PFA treatment was insufficient for complete fixation of oocyte proteins.
To more directly test the hypothesis that pathogen EPS triggers defense responses in wilt-resistant plants, we measured tomato transcriptional response to a biologically relevant amount (20 µg) [9] of extensively purified EPS from UW551.
To more directly test the effects of Ets1 on the proliferation of epidermal keratinocytes, we stained them with antibodies specific for PCNA and Ki67 (Figure 5C D), proteins expressed only in cells that have entered the cell cycle.
To more directly test the hypothesis that activity of granule cells contributed to the enhanced sEPSCs in other granule cells in pilocarpine-treated mice that survived SE, neurons in the granule cell layer were selectively stimulated using focal glutamate photolysis [8], [12].
To more directly test for a correlation in patient samples, we utilized the RNAseq database generated by TCGA.
