The refinement of these insemination techniques will allow us to maximise the use of frozen thawed semen, use new technology such as sex-preselection of spermatozoa and to conserve and utilise epididymal spermatozoa at the time of castration or death of a stallion.
The challenge for Balanchine's heirs is that his company's dancers, trained in the refinements of the technique he developed for his own ballets, can articulate almost anything.
Electrophoretic methods of lipoprotein separation include gel electrophoresis using agarose and analytical capillary isotachopheresis (ITP), 31) yet despite the continuing development and refinement of these techniques, recent review articles have identified problems in inter-relating the use of these methods for identifying individuals who have treatable early stage CVD.
Opponents of cloning technology argue that all forms of human cloning should be banned because the refinement of research techniques may ultimately help maverick scientists make cloned babies.
In turn, successes in this field offer the opportunity for the refinement of empirical techniques more practically suited for general lake investigators.
But the improvement that would count would involve not the refinement of quantitative techniques (which will surely happen), but the establishing of a relationship between quantitative techniques, however improved, and qualitative insights.
The refinement of surgical techniques and devices will probably reduce the hardware-related complications.
The refinement of dating techniques should allow scientists to study caves over the world and read climate archives that go back millions of years.
The development of stimulation techniques of the sensory and motor functions in a rehabilitation context is likely to improve and help restore postural function while the refinement of testing techniques improves descriptions of dysfunction of the postural function.
Despite the development of more effective chemotherapy and the refinement of surgical techniques, ovarian cancer remains the number one cause of death from gynaecological cancer in the Western world (Jemal et al, 2002).
