One of the clumsiest conceits in The Shallows is the repeated use of inset screens; you see large images of Nancy's phone as she texts, or of her watch as she reads the digital readout counting down the shark's terrifying circuit around her outcrop.
When you say this stupid thing, I envision a digital readout counting down like an electric meter in reverse (Not mine, Commonwealth Edison! I took that thing off!), ticking off a rapidly-decreasing estimate of your intelligence.
The specific activity was counted from H2O2 calibration curve, and the slope (13,227 counts μmol−1) was used to convert the fluorimeters' readout (counts min−1) into enzyme activity.
Because RNA-seq technology provides readout counts, the sampling property is similar to some earlier data types such as SAGE (Velculescu et al. 1995) or EST (Audic and Claverie 1997; Ewing and Claverie 2000).
A linear relation between fluorescence and H2O2 concentrations in the range of 0.1 – 2 μM H2O2 was observed and the slope (28450 counts μmol-1) was used for the calculation of an enzyme factor to convert the fluorimeters readout (counts min-1), into enzyme activity.
"Audio Monitors" (2007-13) are two boxes that look like speakers on tripods, with a digital readout that counts the seconds, up to "4'33," a reference to Cage's famously silent work.
So too was a recurring readout that counted down the hours Morsi had left on his military ultimatum, one he said publicly he would ignore.
The readouts represent counts of individual fluorescent barcodes and provide a sensitive measurement of the selected RNA expression levels in the sample.
For the Ge induction readout, the system count rate with different Ge layer resistances, Ge layer thicknesses and ceramic thicknesses are tested under different light intensities.
The MYTHEN detector is a one-dimensional microstrip detector with single photon counting readout optimized for time resolved powder diffraction experiments at the Swiss Light Source SLSS).
