Additionally, the design of both tools enable to position specimen in a fixed anteroposterior orientation providing further standardization.
As the applied load was increased, diagonal shear cracks extended both downward to the support and upward to the applied load positions of specimens.
Because its main diagnostic character is its geographic position, only specimens from Holden Point were assigned to this taxon.
Furthermore, the swelling pressure at different position of specimen was monitored during the infiltration process, and the dry density distributions have also been determined at the end of the tests.
The current designs require manual positioning of specimen.
Prior to positioning the specimen in the oil, saline was injected through the sheaths to wash out the air bubbles in the lumen as much as possible.
A second disadvantage of HiLo imaging is that currently analysis must be performed offline, making it more difficult to optimize the parameters of the imaging system and position the specimen (in this case the eye) to provide optimal image quality.
Although ultrasonic measurements were correlated to the orientation of the margin, the diameter of the transducer elements (0.635 cm), in addition to the lack of an exact point-by-point matching of transducer position to specimen pathology in this study, most likely resulted in the sampling of tissues of mixed pathologies (e.g., normal breast plus DCIS) in a significant number of measurements.
Specifically, we employed our software to position the specimen in a neutral pose (e.g., loads and moments in all directions were minimized), after which a bending moment about all three axes of movement (i.e., flexion and extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation) (Fig. 1c) was applied until the moment obtained from the load cell reached a maximum predetermined value.
The fracture positions of these specimens also support above conclusion.
