Blood or feather samples were collected in seven sampling locations: Alberta, Idaho, Oregon, Missoula, Glacier, South Dakota, and Quebec (Fig. 1).
Oral fluid samples were collected in 9 weekly samplings from all pens in 3 barns on one production site beginning shortly after placement of weaned pigs.
Timer 3 counted out the sampling period and the samples were collected in 16 bit integer format from pin 24.
Peripheral blood samples (6 ml per sampling time) were collected in heparinised tubes and centrifuged at 1000 g for 15 min at 4°C.
To estimate location-specific risk for arbovirus transmission during the December 2006 January 2007 sampling period, 920 mosquitoes collected in the field were pooled for PCR detection of RVFV and WNV.
All parameters of ECw, Cl, and SAR (calculated by Na/((Ca + Mg /2)0.5) were collected in 33 samplings from different irrigation sources in July 2013, and each sample was recorded using the global positioning system (GPS).
Sampling conditions, such as sampling hour, should be systematically collected in biomarker-based studies, in particular when the biomarker half-life is short.
NoV and HAV were not detected in oysters collected in either sampling round, indicating an estimated prevalence for these viruses in Australian oysters of <2% with a 95% confidence interval based on the survey design.
A scanning electron microscope (SEM; SU3500, Hitachi High-Technologies Co., Tokyo Japan) with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscope (EDS; X-max 50 mm, Horiba Ltd., Kyoto, Japan) was used to observe the shapes and chemical compositions of the aerosols collected in the above samplings to identify the major host particles of the resuspended radiocesium.
The proportion of clones from the two euphuasiids changed over the sampling period, with Euphausia sp. dominating the krill component of the diet in samples collected during the early part of the sampling period and T. macrura identified exclusively in samples collected later.
