PieLab's logo — two crimp-crusted pie slices, positioned tip to tip to form a double beaker, an hourglass or some other old-school scientific apparatus — said it all.
The flow simulations indicating absence of blood-flow through the interior lumen was also tested in vivo by cannulating the detached transvascularly positioned tip of the prototypes with a nitinol mandrel.
Another catheter was inserted into the inferior vena cava via the right internal jugular vein, and its correct position (tip at lower border of liver) was confirmed by ultrasound.
Non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) analyses of the gene expression profiles show that the samples form distinct groups by species (A. cervicornis and A. palmata) and by colony position (tip and base).
First, we examined the peak Z-statistics for the voxels identified by the simple effects of visual distractor position, tool tip position, hand used, and their interactions, as reported above (see Table S1 & Table S2).
Finally, we repeated our original analyses in order to examine which of the three experimental variables (visual distractor position, tool tip position, and hand used), or their interactions, most likely contributed to the generation of the significant multisensory integration effects.
Philae bounced off the comet to a height of 1 km (0.6 mile) and bounced again (but not as high) before settling into a precarious position, tipped almost sideways on a cliff face with only two legs on the surface.
In automatic mode, the software positions the tip to a new XY position and the process is repeated.
It has a length that positions the tip directly behind the macula when it is fully inserted.
We measured the force loaded on the needle, target position, and needle tip position to determine the placement error.
