Currently very limited literature exists with regard to systematic characterization of pitted surfaces or the efficient use of numerical methods to assess its effect, i.e. fatigue life reduction caused by the state of a corroded specimen and particularly through the study of stress concentrations considering the geometrical anomalies introduced to a surface.
The increase of HSV detection rates by PCR varied with the origin of specimen and was particularly significant for skin specimens (7/14 versus 3/14 detected by culture) and bronchoalveolar lavages (8/8 versus 1/8).
A putative laboratory contaminant would not only have affected the samples coming from the Mexican Altiplano but also individuals from other sites and particularly museum specimens, which contain very small amounts of DNA, given the fact that samples were randomized on the 96-well plates, both during DNA extraction and PCR reactions.
Intriguingly, a major constraint on the use of historical, and particularly ancient, insect specimens in aDNA research is the destructive nature of the sampling procedure [15].
Struthers could go to great lengths to obtain specimens he particularly wanted, and on at least one occasion this led to court action.
This paper examines specifically the relationship between radiological and pathological size measurements, their relationship to DCIS grade, specimen-handling techniques (particularly specimen slice radiography) and whether BCS was successful as a primary procedure.
Despite extensive efforts, the investigation was limited by the lack of bulk stool specimens collected, particularly from the more severely dehydrated or deceased children.
Former studies have pointed out that a simple modification of the design of slow strain rate tensile specimens was particularly convenient for evaluating the susceptibility to intergranular stress corrosion cracking of nickel-base alloys.
MDCT specimens are particularly suitable when fracture properties of already casted concrete structures are required.
Specimens showing particularly striking green fluorescence were found among the taxon ceriantharia (Figure 1A).
