Between 1993 and 2007, French and Australian expeditions collected and preserved in ethanol hundreds of specimens of deep-water scleractinians (ranging in depth from 170 to 1434 m) from off New Caledonia and Australian waters (including Pacific and Indian Ocean).
Biopsy specimens of the deepest (most dorsal) tissue that each suture traversed were immunostained with a nerve-specific (S100) antibody, and the largest nerve diameter was recorded.
The book also includes a handful of specimens from deep comics history — a Sunday-newspaper page of "Krazy Kat," one of "Gasoline Alley"and a few others, though all were chosen because they "have retained a 'modern' sensibility accessible to today's reader".
At a given drift, dissipated energy was much larger in the deep specimens than in the slender specimens because of the greater strength of deep specimens.
In a combined experimental and numerical approach, detailed assessments of the local stress and strain fields in comparison to the crack front stress and strain states of standard specimens with deep and shallow cracks are provided.
Scanning electron microscopy of the same specimens after deep etching was used to determine the three-dimensional morphology of each of the precipitates for which an OR was determined.
Both rectangular and square cross-section of the specimens with a deep crack of a/W=0.5 are considered to investigate the effect of specimen size.
A specimen of the deep-sea fish Ebinania brephocephala collected by trawl net was kept alive under pressure in the pressure-stat aquarium system for 64 days.
Using museum specimens, scientists recently discovered new species of deep-sea clams with wood-digesting microbes that live in the clam's gills.
Three sets of deep tissue specimens were taken for cultures at the time of debridement.
Although 3 sets of deep tissue specimens were taken routinely for cultures at the time of debridement, 29% failed to show growth on aerobic, anaerobic, mycobacterial, and fungal cultures submitted to the microbiology laboratory; culture-negative (CN) PJI was thus diagnosed.
