To assess the 1% Na2CO3 method for PhSi of aged phytoliths, we used artificial mixtures of soil phytoliths from La Réunion (Meunier et al., 1999) and quartz.
The assays have been standardized for accurate quantification of the CB or AJ alleles of msp-1 or ama-1 of the blood stage parasites, using artificial mixtures with known proportions of cloned strains CB and AJ as previously described by Cheesman et al., [44].
We used simulations and phiX174 sequence data to design criteria for accurate detection of heteroplasmy with the Illumina Genome Analyzer platform, and we used artificial mixtures and replicate data to test and refine the criteria.
We use artificial samples, mixtures of silica powder and polyethylene powder, for investigating the effect of silica-derived oxygen.
Using an artificial mixture of known pea and Sclerotinia ESTs, we found the error rate using the BLAST method was significantly lower than the triplet nucleotide frequencies method (Table 7).
Moreover, the thermal sensitivity of asphalt mixtures modified with nano-silica using artificial neural network and methods of multilayer perceptron (MLP) and radial basis function (RBF) was simulated and analyzed.
The qPCR assay was validated in vitro testing artificial mixtures of 16S rRNA sequences and used to characterise the composition of natural communities developing in young marine biofilms.
Section 3 evaluates the performance of the mixtures of LAMs with regularized estimation using artificial data, which resembles time-course gene expression patterns.
Artificial mixtures of male and female leukocytes were used to analyse the sensitivity of the assay.
Artificial mixtures of PCR products shorter and longer than 200 bp were used as a model to check the ability of the assay to estimate the fragment size distribution.
