Standardized experimental ceramic test specimens, based directly upon petrographic analysis of archaeological samples from a regional context (South Central Ohio, USA) and produced using glacially-deposited illite-based clay, were subjected to mechanical strength tests using an Instron Series IX universal testing machine.
Our initial assessment of microRNA sequencing data from the Dupuytren's and control palmar fascia biopsies using unbiased unsupervised hierarchical clustering confirmed previous findings with microarray analysis, showing that diseased and non-diseased specimens cluster based upon their microRNA profiles [ 76, 77].
The six designated BCS specimen margin locations along the periphery of each BCS specimen were then each defined as a "positive" BCS specimen margin, a "close" BCS specimen margin, or a "negative" BCS specimen margin, based upon the finding of invasive carcinoma or DCIS at the six designated BCS specimen margin locations.
The sampling times for neomycin-lesioned specimens were chosen based upon previous studies of hair cell death and supporting cell proliferation, which indicate that S-phase entry by supporting cells peaks at about 48 hrs after ototoxic injury in vitro [19].
A sample size of 21 specimens was chosen, based upon that of previous comparable studies.
The MVB Query Tool provides a user interface for querying for specimens or cases based upon attributes of or annotations attached to any of these entities.
These specimens were matched based upon the age of patient at initial detection, and the HER2 and ER status of the primary tumors (Additional file 1).
This specimen calculation is based upon the average fracture force of specimen 3. The following are the experimental values: f = 0.001168 N (from Table 1).
The present report is based upon specimens obtained in the context of a comparative safety and immunogenicity trial of two RTS,S formulations, RTS,S/AS02A and RTS,S/AS01B, conducted in 255 malaria-experienced adults in Kenya [17].
