Five specimens, representing a typical deficient building column with poor transverse reinforcement detailing and low concrete strength, were tested under cyclic displacement excursions and constant axial load.
Consequently, most studies evaluate a relatively small cross-sectional area from each specimen, the chance of finding a crack in any given field is small, and there is a significant chance of not finding even one crack in the specimens representing a particular subject.
After performing a thorough analysis of 3,527 tumor specimens representing a dozen types of cancers, scientists concluded that 10% of patients could find better therapies if they had information about their tumor's unique DNA and how it is expressed.
Only three specimens representing a single species (a saccamminid) were recorded in the Ionian Basin (3,903 m).
Specimens representing a subset of the observed species were collected for taxonomic verification using microscopic morphological characters [28].
Allometric growth was apparent in these taxa, in part, because of the large number of specimens representing a range of ontogenetic transitions collected from the Mongolian strata.
Isolation of this number of strains and identification of their serotype distribution by conventional methods would take about 18 additional months of surveillance and processing of 4,168 specimens, representing a substantial savings of time and money.
SF2 was obtained for 88 of 140 specimens, representing a success rate of 63% with a mean SF2 of 0.48 (median 0.43) and a range of 0.10-1.00 0.10-1.00
However, we found it occasionally on the adjacent island of Sicily as single specimens, representing a comparatively stable proportion of 1 2% of the entire Italian or 4-54-5% the Sicilian population through time.
Under natural conditions, spawning normally occurs approximately 8 h after sunset in specimens collected in Woods Hole, MA, USA [ 67] and 3 to 5 h after onset of darkness in specimens collected in Miami, FL, USA [ 68, 69], with the Miami specimens representing a genetically distinct population [ 70].
