The fermentation of the tarhana samples was terminated at the end of 3 days because the acidity degree of all samples surpassed 40, and then, all of the samples were kept frozen until analyses.
Sampling was terminated once saturation of themes was considered to have been achieved.
In animals that only had negative samples from the beginning of collection, sampling was terminated after 3 weeks PP.
Then the sampling was reduced to 2 times per day (7 a.m. and 7 p.m). and sampling was terminated 6 weeks PP.
All samples were terminated with a final uncapped layer of InGaAs, grown with the same composition and coverage as the underlying InGaAs layers in order to match the nanostructures and examine the configuration by atomic force microscopy.
Focal samples were terminated when birds flew away or moved out of sight behind vegetation.
The sample arm was terminated in the probe consisting of an imaging head (including a fiber collimator and X-Y galvanometric scanners) and a 5 × telecentric objective lens (LSM03, working distance = 25.1 mm, Thorlabs Inc ., allowing for the light delivery to and collection from the sample.
After the above mentioned recordings and blood sampling the experiment was terminated by retrograde perfusion fixation via the abdominal aorta Perfusion pressure was adapted according to the in vivo blood pressure of the animals, i.e. 120 140 mmHg.
In sample NW1, the growth was terminated by shutting the As2 and Ga fluxes simultaneously, thus preserving the Ga catalyst droplets, whereas samples NW2, NW3, and NW4 were exposed to As2-flux during the sample cooldown thus crystallizing the Ga catalyst droplets.
We recorded variables pertaining to statistical methods including significance level, power, delta, the expected baseline (placebo or standard care) mortality rate, the a priori sample size, whether the study was terminated early, and any modifications made to the sample size in the middle of the trial.
