To investigate the generation of B cell memory in the absence of ICOS, we quantified the expansion of antigen-specific B cells, in primary and secondary responses, by enumerating the PE-binding, CD19+ splenic B cells in the mice 2 wk after immunization with alum-precipitated PE.
Here we used different levels of "% PPR" (i.e., percentage of the primary production of the cells of a map of the global ocean) to quantify the expansion of fisheries since 1950 and extract the dominant patterns of this expansion.
However, time-lapse images have the advantage of being consistent in terms of size, lighting, contrast, quality, and in terms of capturing the timing of embryo development, which is particularly important when quantifying blastocyst expansion.
The purpose of this study was to quantify the expansion and contraction of mangroves and saltmarsh habitats and assess the impact of climate on these landscape changes.
The system was then used to quantify the expansion capacity of doughs, as indicated by the minimum density achieved by a proving dough piece, in three different scales of geometrically similar laboratory dough mixers.
The report doesn't quantify the expansion plan's effects on minority neighborhoods, or suggest adequate measures to offset those impacts as required under federal law, said Andy Lazzaretto, whose firm, A.C. Lazzaretto & Associates, was hired by the county to analyze the plan.
To quantify the expansion of ipsilateral retinogeniculate projections along the O-I and DM-VL axes (Figure 5A), small CTB-positive areas whose sizes were equal to or less than 150 pixels were removed from binarized images [40].
To quantify the expansion of the actin cap in the myosin-inhibited embryos, we measured the areas of the actin caps as functions of time in control and myosin-inhibited embryos.
We reasoned that, following genome evolution over the years since its release, we could follow and quantify the expansion of functional knowledge via an increase in the average GCI score over time.
We first utilized X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) to visualize and quantify the expansion of Zn pools in the lactating mammary gland and explored the redistribution of these Zn pools in response to the lactogenic hormone prolactin in vivo.
A more appropriate way of quantifying the expansion of and limits to fisheries is using the primary production required (PPR) to sustain catches – a metric of the ecological footprint of fishing.
