It turns out that the fatigue crack growth rate based on each specimen data is larger than that based on group method of data processing in terms of normal stress intensity range (10 70 MPa m0.5).
Species averages were then calculated from specimen data so that each tip on the phylogenetic tree is represented by a single shape point [ 3].
As a starting point for preparing the specimen data, we used a format based on conventions defined by the BRAHMS Botanical Research and Herbarium Management Softwaree) package (Filer, 2001), as detailed in an online manual (Filer, 2010).
Additional file 1 provides specimen data, detailed information on data availability and requirements, as well as information on the preparation, contrasting and scanning of sea urchin specimens.
The ANSYS-PDS & CARES/Life simulation correlated better to the elliptical-hole specimen data than CARES/Life predictions based on average specimen dimensions.
Several taxonomic names that were submitted with a genus and strain identifier only and not updated upon publication could easily be verified and updated by relying on accurate specimen data present in their sequence accessions.
This will require more research in the field using multibeam surveys and submersibles to collect specimens and data on distribution, and more laboratory analyses of palaeontology, phylogeny, taxonomy, and genetics.
At the time of compilation of this manuscript (October 2004), there were more than 6,000 annotated cases of prostate cancer specimens with data on over 30,000 archival paraffin-embedded tissues blocks and 5,800 frozen tissue blocks, and two sets of tissue microarrays (TMAs) that are currently available to the research community.
Experiments were performed on fresh specimens, data collected and stored, and interpreted retrospectively once the R vs. NR status of the patients could be assessed.
