We use local focus groups and several rounds of piloting to probe the local meaning of questions, and questions with local meaning, during the design stage.
While NASA sends pilot-less probes to the Asteroid Belt and to Jupiter and relies on a partnership with Russia to get astronauts to the International Space Station, and fast-rising China ramps up its own space program, a new generation of space entrepreneurs get their big shot.
At the beginning of the Summer 2010 semester, we piloted items probing the challenges described above with students in Concepts in Biology, a Gen Ed biology course at a large research university in the southeast (n = 80).
A pilot monopolar RFA probe was subsequently advanced through the needle and RF was performed.
Based on a number of pilot experiments, this probe proved to be effective in locating alpha-skeletal actin in other vertebrate species as well.
Our pilot experiment with various probe lengths of repeat junction sequences on NimbleGen array suggested that probes with a 52-bp length provides the best performance in the mapping data (data not shown).
As a pilot project, 3D radial probe module was used in WFT program for Well-1 in the northern part of the Barmer basin.
In order to identify probes that would perform well for mapping to the D genome, we conducted a pilot experiment by screening probes on a 3*720 K CGH array using genomic DNAs from the hexaploid Chinese Spring wheat (AABBDD) and from the tetraploid durum wheat (AABB) missing the D genome.
To identify small molecules that, in combination with BRD4770, can promote cell death even in the absence of p53, we performed a pilot screening of known probes and drugs that target cancer-relevant pathways using two assay readouts of cell viability in PANC-1 cells.
To address these concerns, later adaptations of the survey that were piloted used specific probes and examples to obtain more specific details [unpublished data, 2013].
