Advantages of the PCR-ELISA method include convenient performance and the possibility to test rapidly large amounts of samples with a multitude of probes.
Previous studies using both simulated (e.g. [50]) and real (using ESTs: e.g. [51], [52]) datasets have tested whether large amounts of missing taxa have a significant effect on the topology and support of a phylogenetic analysis.
All three primary USPC tumour cell lines tested secreted large amounts of SAA (mean=11.2 ng ml−1, range: 0.7 30.3 ng ml−1 per 10 cells per 72 h).
This represents a very large problem for large-scale pigment testing, as large amounts of inoculum, whether in liquid, solid, or wood-dowel form, are necessary for inoculating logs and lumber.
In cognitive science, computers can be used in three ways: to simulate cognition for artificial intelligence (AI), to enhance cognition by assisting human intellectual activity, and to help scientists understand cognition by testing theories on large amounts of data.
In many cases high throughput screening (HTS) is used to test (in-vitro) large amounts of molecules against a biological target in order to validate a molecule's potential to interact with the target and therewith its relevance to the drug discovery process.
In collective donations where blood is often tested subsequently, destroying large amounts of blood bags is a huge waste of time, energy and money in already overstretched settings.
Following analysis of the flight test data from the first booster-controlled descent in September 2013, SpaceX announced it had successfully tested a large amount of new technology on the flight, and that coupled with the technology advancements made on the Grasshopper low-altitude landing demonstrator, they were ready to test a full recovery of the booster stage.
SpaceX tested a large amount of new technology on the flight, and that coupled with the technology advancements made on the Grasshopper technology demonstrator means the company now believes it has "all the pieces of the puzzle".
The advantage of this methodology is that it allows to test a large amount of alternative model topologies using a limited amount of data, or semi-quantitative data such as promoter activities in genetic knockout strains or immunoblotting data [ 12, 13].
