This first North American record is almost identical to European specimens and indicates the immigration of this species from Asia.
Figures 21a and 21b compare the numerical and experimental load displacement curves of the 2D and 3D specimens, respectively, and indicates a general agreement between the results.
This led to the development and introduction of a new "Specimen Orderable Status" (SOS) program which read specimen barcodes and indicated whether results had been validated or not, identifying those results that needed to be manually validated [ 74].
Additional studies of the palustris couesi contact zone in Texas published in 1979, using more specimens and characters, indicated that the two species are in fact easily distinguishable there; therefore, O. couesi has since been regarded as a species distinct from the marsh rice rat.
MERS-CoV may be isolated from nasal swab specimens and feces, indicating that both could be possible sources of virus transmission to humans and other animals, but virus detection rates were higher in nasal swab specimens.
Supplementary Table 1 lists specimen numbers and their diagnosis, and indicates in which part of the study each specimen was used.
In an early study, we have shown increased S100A4 expression in thyroid carcinoma specimens with advanced disease stage and indicated that it may be a useful prognostic marker for thyroid carcinoma (Zou et al, 2004).
The top panels of Figure 1 illustrate hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining of wound specimens and red arrows indicate the wound edge.
Confirmation of additional cases from the 2003 cluster in Ceará, more recent cases in other districts, environmental isolation of Burkholderia pseudomallei, molecular confirmation and typing results, and positive serosurveillance specimens indicate that melioidosis is more widespread in northeastern Brazil than previously thought.
This loose apposition is due to a lack of membrane interaction and the osmotic effects which occur during processing of the specimen for electron microscopy (EM) and indicates that the sperm acrosome is probably not docked with the PM in control sperm.
