The problem posed by the ratio is that the multiple specimens studied, died in the same place, but probably not in a sudden mass-death and so do not represent a single herd or contemporary population.
In addition, many of the characters supporting a Limnofregata/Fregata clade are preserved in multiple specimens of Limnofregata, which provides confidence that character states have been accurately assessed, and cannot be attributed to taphononomic or preparation damage of an individual specimen (e.g., the distal fenestration of manual phalanx II-1).
Results are displayed as mean of results from each experiment involving imaging of multiple specimens and cilia (specified in the figure legends).
The reproducibility of measurements of oestrogen-receptor activity has been examined in multiple specimens from a rabbit uterus, a rat mammary tumour and human breast tumours.
Nevertheless, it does offer a standard that permits one to normalize the relative RNA content in multiple specimens so that different biopsies can be directly compared.
However, because the BinaxNOW has reasonable specificity, it might prove useful in clinical or epidemiologic situations in which test sensitivity is not critical, e.g., in facility outbreaks in which multiple specimens are collected to rapidly identify the causative organism.
In this study, there were 6 sets of multiple specimens from the same timepoint in 5 patients (patients 4, 9, 15, 19, and 26; indicated by arrows in Figure 6).
Over a century ago the famous fossil collector Barnum Brown discovered multiple specimens of the tyrannosaur Albertosaurus in the Late Cretaceous rock of Canada's Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park.
In addition, multiple specimens were taken of any endoscopic abnormality.
