In the second phase, water cementitious binder ratios of the specimens were adjusted to attain a constant unconfined concrete strength for specimens containing different amounts of silica fume.
Intensity levels of digital images in experimental and control specimens were adjusted proportionally and in the linear range either in Axiovison or Photoshop CS2 (Adobe).
Urine specimens were adjusted to pH 3.0 and stored at −20°C until extraction and analysis.
Urine specimens were adjusted to pH 3.0, aliquoted into test tubes, and stored at −20°C until extraction and analysis.
To avoid any eccentricity, each column specimen was adjusted in such a way that the center line of axial loading coincides with the longitudinal axis of the column, and to ensure the complete contact with the loading plates, the top and bottom end surfaces of each column specimen were leveled with a layer of high-strength plaster powder.
For selective capturing and expression-profile analysis of anionic protein species from CSF, 2 µg of total protein from individual specimen was adjusted to a final volume of 200 µl with binding buffer [20 µM Trisma base (pH 8) containing 0.1% Triton-X 100].
The angle of the specimen was adjusted to make the testing device, screw adjuster, and the direction of screw insertion lie on a straight line.
Specimen determinations were adjusted accordingly, all genetic distances were recalculated, and the number of haplotypes per species was determined using the DNA barcoding tools available at http://www.ibarcode.org[ 88].
* ** Clustering of gene expression profiles used Gene Cluster 3.0, and the parameters used are the following: after removing genes that had good data in less than 80% of specimens examined, data were adjusted by gene centering only (no array centering), and the hierarchical clustering used uncentered correlation as the similarity metric and average linkage as the clustering method.
No studies that examined histologic specimens reported that groups were adjusted for age, sex, or race, whereas 31.4%, 34%, and 45.7%, respectively, of studies that examined other types of specimens did so.
All regression models were adjusted for specimen characteristics and prescription for sex hormones or corticosteroids.
