Together with his colleagues, Willem Coetzer, a doctoral candidate in conservation genetics at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, went in to the field to capture wild P. robustus and collect a small blood sample to obtain DNA.
We then cross-matched the U-band sources with the COMBO-17 sample to obtain redshifts.
Fatigue test and group method were employed and performed on each sample to obtain the fatigue experimental data of each structure under four stress levels.
The solution to the mpQP is a piecewise affine (PWA) function, which can be evaluated at each sample to obtain the optimal control law.
The fuzzy Delphi method (FDM), an integration of the fuzzy concept and the Delphi method, requires only a small survey sample to obtain an objective and reasonable result.
The DIC optical technique tracks the movement of surface patterns on the sample to obtain information on the deformation (Pan and Li 2011).
A solution of (NH4 2SO4 or NH4Cl was added to each sample to obtain the ammonium ion concentration between 1.7 and 2.5 mg/L.
This value was then divided by the isotope recovery obtained for all analytes in each sample to obtain the "true" MRL in that particular sample matrix.
For our experiments, we sieved the bulk sample to obtain two sub-samples, 90 < ϕ < 125 μm (Figure 1d) and ϕ < 63 μm.
Order the full sample to obtain x ord=(x (1),x (2),…,x (N)), with x (i) being the ith order statistic (i=1,2,…,N).
We have computed the SSW and the incentive measures that result from the assumed alternative settings for each individual in the sample to obtain counterfactual predicted retirement probabilities.
