A higher isotopic variability was found between tissues (on average Δ = 2.8‰ and 0.8‰ for δ13C and δ15N, respectively) than between specimens (on average Δ = 1.4‰ and 0.4‰ for δ13C and δ15N, respectively).
Firstly, CNF-reinforced specimens showed higher variability than unmodified specimens on average, perhaps indicating sub-optimal dispersion of fibrils in several cases.
The increase in temperature due to the release of the latent heat when the tissue froze at the supercooling point was around 1°C for both species, and the temperature of the specimens took on average ca. 2 minutes to match again the ambient temperature.
As can be seen in Table 1, even with only.10 ml of whole saliva in the specimen, on average, the DNA extracted exceeded 20 ng/μl concentration (1 μg amount) and the quality of the specimen was acceptable.
IL-1 β mRNA can be identified in >80% of PC tumour tissues, and the IL-1 β mRNA expression ratio in relation to normal pancreatic tissue in resected PC specimens is, on average, strongly upregulated by 28.5-fold (Ebrahimi et al, 2004; Bellone et al, 2006).
Thus, the decrease in the surgical specimen was, on average, 19% relative to the core biopsy (p = 0.063).
The measurements of the bat specimen have on average 31.7 mm forearm length [ 7], 237.21 mm wingspan and weight 4.31 g (unpublished data).
The rarity of BCSCs and a tumor specimen size on average of 0.2 mg precluded the study of gene and protein expression in the same patients.
Caudal-pelvic fin distance for N. osculus, based on measurements taken from well-preserved fossilized specimens [5], represents on average 45.1% of the total length of the fish, and through our methods, we calculated a caudal-pelvic distance of 20.65 cm for the FOBU-12718 tracemaker.
Analysis on the log-scale showed the Ki67 values from the surgical specimens to be on average 19% lower (geometric mean of the ratios = 0.81, 95% CI: 0.65-1.01) compared to the values from the core biopsies (p = 0.063).
The ANSYS-PDS & CARES/Life simulation correlated better to the elliptical-hole specimen data than CARES/Life predictions based on average specimen dimensions.
