We quantified proboscis extension responses to increasing sucrose concentrations and sting extension responses to electric shocks of increasing voltage.
Allele-specific H19 and Igf2 RNA gene expression analysis was based on SNPs between of inbred 129S1 (129) and CAST/Ei (CS) mouse strains and was analyzed by reverse-transcription PCR SNuPE assays [44], [47], except mass spectrometry quantified the extension primers (EP) based on molecular mass difference between alleles [48], [49].
We also quantified the extension of carotenoid and melanic coloration in various body parts, and categorized the patterns of pigmentation and the colour of beak and legs.
Using image analysis, we quantified the extension of epithelial changes (normal, abnormal and denudated epithelium expressed as percentages of the total epithelium length), bronchiolar inflammation, airway wall thickness, and extracellular matrix (ECM) protein content in distal airways.
The expressions obtained that quantify the extension of the cohesive zone are fairly accurate and very easy to implement.
More precisely, we aim to achieve the following: (i) to quantify the extension of the opportunistic behavior of the Spanish unemployed (those who fail to engage in a real search effort while enjoying the income protection of the unemployment program) and (ii) to explore feasible changes aiming to improve incentives in the current policy design.
To test this hypothesis, we used discontinuous NGF stimulation (Figure 1A) and examined cell differentiation by quantifying the extension of neurite length and changes in gene expression levels, since the differentiation of PC12 cell is characterized by neurite extension and the expression of neuronal genes [6].
We then analyzed low magnification images (1,000×) to quantify biofilm extension, and high magnification images (15,000×) to identify attached microorganisms.
It is difficult to quantify the extension and therefore the effect on the reported outcomes, though it should be acknowledged as a limitation.
Besides heterogeneous doping by the redistribution of mobile ions across the interface, ion mobility varies as quantified via the extension of unoccupied accessible pathway regions.
