A subset of 45 specimens for which we had HCV genotype data was analyzed separately.
Table 3 lists the specimens for which the predictions were performed and the base SN curves used to each lifetime prediction.
Push-out tests were performed on 12 specimens for which the strength and diameter of transverse rebar were utilized as variables.
Twenty-two S. javus specimens for which tissue samples suitable for DNA extraction were available, collected from 10 and 12 specimens from sites A and B, respectively, were subjected to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequencing.
The forensic usefulness of the new mini-STR primers was evaluated on highly degraded DNA from casework samples (e.g. archival post-mortem Bouin's fluid-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue specimens) for which commercial STR kit had proven inefficient.
The experimental program included seven specimens, for which the type of interface in contact with cast-in-place concrete, the load eccentricities and the embedded lengths were all varied.
A total of nine specimens were fabricated for which prestressing has been introduced after grouting high-performance mortar (HPM), and another seven specimens for which high-strength concrete (HSC) has been placed after lap splicing.
Here the duration of the experiments were reduced to 15 h compared to fresh concrete specimens for which a duration of 24 h is normally used (NT BUILD 492, Concrete, Mortar and Cement-based Repair Materials: Chloride Migration Coefficient from Non-steady-state Migration Experiments 1999; Tang 1996).
In these analyses we included only specimens for which we had details on the collection localities (n = 234).
To perform a rigorous symphyseal outline analysis, only specimens for which CT-scans were available were utilized.
The list of specimens, for which we succeeded in receiving amplifyable DNA and unambiguous sequences is given in Table S1.
