The test specimens were supported along all four edges.
The test specimens were supported on a bed of steel car springs that simulate the elastic behavior of soil.
Collection of the museum specimens was supported by NSF awards GB-3974 and GB-6450 (1965 71) to Y. Kondo.
The existence of a positive relationship between Cav-1 and MMP-9 and the negative association with MMP-2 in the human specimens is supporting previous observations in which MMP-9 but not MMP-2 is associated with a stable plaque phenotype [21].
The specimen is supported in the -direction such that compressive stress is generated passively.
Each continuous one-way slab specimen was supported on hinges at both ends and on a roller at the center.
The test rig consists of a fixed-ball micro-abrasion tester, where the specimen is supported by a three-axis load cell, and an electrochemical cell.
We recently reported that the routine fixation procedure at RMH provides excellent correlations for ER and HER2 status (i.e., positive or negative) between diagnostic core-cuts and resection specimens and those results are supported here [ 9].
In our study, the gingival epithelial cells responded to the examined surfaces partially opposite to the osteoblasts and exhibited a slightly decreased viability and less dense cell layers on the native and S1 coated ceramic specimens, which is supported by several works [ 27, 28].
The specimen incorporated is supported in a free-free fashion and placed in a vacuum chamber surrounded by 200 W halogen lamps that allow for an isothermal temperature up to 482 °C.
