The differences in cyclic deformation and fatigue behaviors between solid round specimens where a stress gradient exists, and thin-walled tube specimens where a uniform stress state is commonly assumed, are also discussed.
Both constant and variable amplitude fatigue lives are predicted well for notched specimens, where a local uniaxial stress state always exists for the geometry considered.
However, most of the normal colon tissues displayed undetectable CXCR7 levels, except in some specimens where a few submucosal vessels were stained positively for CXCR7 (Supplementary Table 2).
We found a demonstrable ALL in ten out of 11 specimens and in all specimens where an intact ACL was found.
The three point bending scheme is adopted for testing specimens, where an hydraulic actuator is used for the transmission of the transverse load at midspan under displacement control and an LVDT is used to measure the corresponding maximum transverse displacement.
This demonstrates the unreliability of simple LAG spacing patterns for inferring a particular ontogenetic stage or relative maturity across a wide range of taxa or elements in somatically immature specimens where an EFS/OCL is not present [ 7, 16].
In November 1997, Rasmussen and Ben King of the American Museum of Natural History spent ten days unsuccessfully searching two east Indian locations before driving west to the site of another old specimen, where King spotted a small, chunky owl with short, heavily white-feathered legs and huge claws, which Rasmussen confirmed as the target species whilst the owl was videotaped and photographed.
This structure is never found to be continuous with food boluses in the anterior body region; in a specimen where they appear aligned they are in fact on different levels.
Each specimen was assigned an identification number for convenience in the form of pppddd-V-s for a vertical specimen or pppddd-aaa-s for a horizontal specimen, where ppp, ddd, s, and aaa indicate the site name, the sample recovering depth, the identification number of the specimen, and the azimuth, respectively.
