For each case of S. aureus isolated from clinical specimens, the relevant medical information was examined, including diagnosis, onset of infection, infection sites, demographics (age, gender), underlying illnesses, risk factors for healthcare-associated infections, and isolate antimicrobial susceptibility.
The occurrence of Oryza species and the evolution of their distribution areas in the Americas were inferred from herbarium specimens and the relevant literature including ancient floras and explorers' reports.
The compressive strength and water absorption values of hardened specimens exceed the relevant technical requirements currently in force, regarding load-bearing as well as decorative building elements, thus opening a new promising field for the utilization of this by-product.
Written informed consent for use of these specimens and the relevant clinical and radiological data required for this research were obtained from each patient prior to surgery and from the next of kin of the persons whose donated lung was released for research.
For those SSTI episodes where a microbiology test was ordered, we defined the "index specimen" as being the specimen from which the first clinically-relevant organism was isolated, or the first specimen obtained during the relevant time period if no organism was isolated.
In addition, several scorings for Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum and Turfanosuchus dabanensis were modified based upon new direct observations and interpretations of the relevant specimens.
Furthermore, other features of cyclic behavior of the specimens relevant for their seismic performance, i.e., cyclic stiffness degradation, energy dissipation and viscous damping, were also analyzed and discussed.
In addition, the phase image contains most of the information of the specimen relevant and useful from an application point of view.
For determining the tensile strength, direct tension tests on the relevant specimen were done with a length of 150 mm in testing portion and the loading of 0.05 mm/min.
Most vouchers were later deposited in one of several museum collections as indicated in the relevant specimen record in the Barcode of Life Data (BOLD) systems (http://www.barcodinglife.org — see details below).
For the comparison of relative testis size in all Malurus (including M. coronatus) we used the relevant specimen data used by [ 61].
