The surface finishing of the statue was reproduced on the specimens by creating an artificial patina: specimens were heated up to 120 °C and brushed with an aqueous solution of 20% ammonium sulphide.
The nanocomposite showed a reduced rate of combustion due to the accumulation of the silicate on the surface of the burning specimen which create a protective barrier to heat and mass transfer.
Outbreak-related fecal samples were archived when any specimen remained after analysis, creating a convenience sample of feces for this and other studies.
Alternatively, grouping of cases in statistical analyses may have filtered these genes out, since methylation in a fewer number of specimens would create a lower average and higher variability across these cases.
This display, in the Everett Children's Adventure Garden, allows young visitors to enter a re-creation of Darwin's laboratory, see a model of the ship used in his travels and emulate his research, including exploring various bogs and creating a herbarium specimen using the primrose.
Because the species was social and gregarious, creating a few specimens would not be ideal.
The jig was positioned on the test specimens to create an anterolateral cortical window, the extent of which distally ended at the midpoint of the diaphysis (isthmus).
Rothstein (2010) agrees, with a clear eye to privacy and risk: "The use of deidentified health information and biological specimens in research creates a range of privacy and other risks to individuals and groups.
Early in the DNA barcode initiative the question of how many specimens are needed to create a reliable reference for specimen identification and diversity assessment remained largely unresolved.
The reserve has added specimens, created gardens and shaped the terrain to provide strolling paths through pines, spruces, Japanese maples, California redwoods, magnolias and other flowering trees.
