The attention is due to the animal's unusual features, and the controversy is caused by the fact that there is only one specimen, that includes only the front half of the animal and is tiny (the skull is just under one inch long) and hard to interpret.
The cumulative dose of electrons for the entire series of 60 70 images was thus within acceptable limits of 5000 electrons/nm2 of the specimen (that included the electron dose spent on searching for suitable areas and for area tracking during data collection).
For larger engineering-size specimens that include millimetre-size pores, the strength of the material averages about 20 MPa (an elastic modulus of about 11 GPa).
Gastric wall biopsy specimens that include the muscularis propria to evaluate the enteric nervous system, interstitial cells of Cajal, and related cells are essential to promote our understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms.
A major barrier to furthering our understanding of the pathophysiology of neuromuscular GI diseases, including functional GI disorders, is the inability to obtain deep gastric-wall biopsy specimens that include both layers of the muscularis propria, which allows evaluation of specific cell types, including myenteric ganglia.
For example, detection of viral RNA will be performed in specimens that include plasma, mucosal tissues or secretions, and lymphoid tissues from non-human primates that have been infected with SIV or SHIV.
For traditional taxonomic studies, it is important to harvest specimens that include "fruits and flowers, and the root systems; something that shows what the plant generally looks like," Wood says.
It has been proposed that biomarker discovery and evaluation rely on prospectively and uniformly collected specimens that include the range of subjects likely to be tested clinically, followed by blinded retrospective laboratory testing of sera from patients and controls randomly selected from the original prospective cohort.
Tissue microarrays (TMAs) were prepared from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue specimens that include a series of primary operable (stage I and II) breast carcinoma cases of age <70 presented consecutively between 1988 and 1998 at the Nottingham Breast Unit with tumors of less than 5 cm diameter [ 22].
Henry David Thoreau was a naturalist who collected specimens that included hundreds of New England plants that formed his personal herbarium.
