These specimens are commonly, more or less, heavily distorted, often partially preserved, with obvious alteration due to dehydration.
Fresh frozen spine specimens are commonly used in biomechanical investigations of the spine.
Human cadaveric specimens are commonly used to evaluate bone-implant interface strength in osteoporotic spine fixation.
Compact, C(T), specimens are commonly used for fatigue and creep-fatigue crack growth testing under constant-load-amplitude conditions.
Small size (scale) specimens are commonly tested to justify allowable stresses, but could be dangerous if results are extrapolated without accounting for scaling effects.
In the evaluation of fatigue crack propagation properties, standard specimens such as the compact tension (CT) or center cracked specimens are commonly employed.
Dry insect specimens are commonly held in entomology collections, constituting over 900,000 described species and an unknown number of undescribed species.
Ethical approval was not required for the present study because the examined specimens were commonly captured marine economic fishes, and all of the fish specimens were already dead when we obtained them and were sourced from commercial fisheries.
This workflow differs from that in a traditional community setting in which specimens are commonly distributed to disparate laboratories for analysis and the clinician performs the determination of tests and integrates the results from each laboratory report.
Latex or aluminium membrane covering the exposed surfaces of the soil specimen is commonly used to reduce the evaporation of the water in the soil specimen during the test [9, 16, 20, 23].
