The results of tests were discussed with the aid of a finite element model of the specimen aimed to calculate the actual fatigue cycle, also taking account of residual stresses and of their redistribution during the test.
This paper presents experimental results obtained on a real-size specimen aimed at investigating the possibility of using localised anodes (either with impressed current or galvanic) to protect steel in slender carbonated elements.
Holistic/single specimen We aim to build a maximally complete model of the whole brain along with the head and neck (an anatomically holistic approach), in contrast to just any part or component of it (a mosaic approach).
The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) network of groups collaborates to compile the molecular details of large numbers of human tumors (TCGA et al. 2013), aiming to have 10,000 specimens analyzed from 25 different tumor types by 2015.
Instead of aiming to become the perfect specimen of health, for example, set a couple of focused, realistic goals, such as losing 10 pounds and lowering your blood pressure a certain number of points.
Given the scarce data available regarding the optimal storage conditions of respiratory specimens, we aimed to compare refrigeration with freezing, to define the most appropriate storage condition of BAL specimens in clinical practice, when immediate culture is not available.
By means of historic DNA extracted from museum specimens, we aimed to investigate the evolution of the mitochondrial demographic structure of the HEC in Italy and Malta throughout the Twentieth Century.
To assess a potential role of these miRs as prognostic molecular markers in RCC we analysed the expression of both miRs in 139 clear cell RCC specimens aiming at clinical application as molecular markers.
"As a collection manager, I'm aiming to build the best collection I can so that people in the future can ask questions that we can't even dream of with our specimens," said Bray.
