GC weighed and measured the specimens and ran the statistical analyses.
These hypotheses were tested using data obtained from passive hip and knee movements in non-obese specimens and from running volunteers endowed with both skin- and pin-markers.
Patients' specimens were de-identified and run in a double-blinded manner.
"The Butterfly Conservatory: Tropical Butterflies Alive in Winter," an exhibition of hundreds of specimens from Africa, Asia and the Americas, opens tomorrow and runs through May.
Although we have not performed direct comparisons, this approach should offer some advantages over alternative standardisation methods, as it negates the need to determine each sample concentration accurately, or to have knowledge of ploidy, and provides a reference point for comparison of unrelated specimens and PCR runs.
Now Mr. Butrus carries more of these plants there, as people fall in love with some strange specimen at the Linwood Arboretum and run over to buy one.
These assays are combined with controls for specimen quality and reaction inhibition, and run on a standard fast real-time PCR platform, enabling results to be produced within 6 h of specimen receipt.
All the focus group participants agreed to share their specimen with other researchers, provided that there are guarantees in place to prevent unethical research being conducted on their specimens, those running the biobank are ethical, trustworthy and competent.
The APT ToF mass spectra collected under voltage-pulsing mode are also qualitatively similar for both the IBAD (Fig. 2b) and the EBAD (Fig. 2c) specimens, although the EBAD specimens ran slightly longer before fracture.
The technicians were blinded as to the source of the specimens (cases versus controls) and all specimens were run in a single batch.
Seven technical replicates (7% of total specimens) were run on different beadchips and dates and the R correlation coefficient of the replicate pairs ranged from 0.9606 to 0.9907 with a median of 0.9852 (Fig. S1B) indicating little variation.
