The compliance measurements of depth- and surface-wise crack closure were performed using the backface strain gauge and the near-tip gauge, respectively.
Infusions were made through a fine needle with a flat tip (36 gauge; Coopers Needle Works, Birmingham, UK) connected via PEG tubing to a 5-μl syringe (Hamilton) held by a microliter infusion pump.
A blunt tip 27-gauge needle was inserted through a burr hole positioned 0.9 mm posterior, 1.2 mm lateral to bregma, and lowered perpendicular to the cranial surface to a depth of 3.6 mm ventral to the dorsal surface of the dura mater, placing the tip of the needle in the ventral horn of the lateral ventricle [ 32].
Rainfall has been measured by tipping bucket gauges at 150 stations of the network since the beginning of 2007.
Electrospinning of the emulsions was carried out, with a voltage of 14 16 kV applied to the blunt needle (21 gauge) tip of the 1 mL syringe (filled with the emulsion) and the grounded aluminum foil collector.
In clinical practice, many factors (i.e., probe gauge, tip length, temperature achieved, heating duration, heat-sink effect of nearby blood vessels, and incomplete fusion of RFA lesions between prongs of expandable electrodes or surgical clips near the tumor) may alter this ideal geometrical shape producing an irregularly sized, distorted, or incomplete area of necrosis.
Two dorsal episcleral veins under the superior rectus muscle and one temporal episcleral vein under the lateral rectus muscle were cauterized with a 30-gauge tip to avoid possible damage to the neighboring sclera.
In a study of 30 patients with diabetes using both a 32-gauge, 6 mm tapered needle tip and a 31-gauge, 5 mm standard needle tip for 1 week each, patients expressed that they were less frightened and less fearful of pain upon needle insertion (P<0.05) and experienced less pain (P<0.01) and less bruising (P<0.001) using the 6 mm needle tip compared with the 5 mm needle tip.
Rainfall was measured by a tipping bucket rain gauge, with a sensitivity of 1 tip per 0.2 mm.
We injected 7 8 µl of benzene-d6 into the top of the collection trap using a GC syringe equipped with a 23 gauge cone tip needle (Fig. 1d).
