The thymus was weighed to estimate the weight index (mg thymus/100 g body weight), fixed in Telesnitsky fixative at 4°C, dehydrated in alcohols of increasing grade, cleared in xylene, and embedded in Paraplast Plus.
The weight fixes the global noise variance.
FAO/WHO [38], in terms of provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) values for kg body weight, fixed the levels of safe exposure for cadmium (7 µg), lead (25 µg) and inorganic arsenic (15 µg) [39].
The equilibrium association constants (K5, units of M−4) for a monomer-pentamer association were determined with the reduced buoyant molecular weight fixed at the calculated monomer value (0.4152 for Stx1B and 0.4376 for Stx2B at 21,000 rpm).
The single-trait animal models were based on the routine evaluation model, with the regression effect of start weight, fixed effect of herd-week-section, random effect of pen and a random additive genetic effect.
Today Wagoner appears reluctant to attack GM's basic problem head-on: enormous dead-weight fixed costs.
Therefore, we feel justified to assume that a neural mechanism could be capable of holding weights fixed in some layers whilst allowing weights in other layers to vary.
Reservoir syringes were mounted vertically in the perfusion apparatus with weights fixed onto the glass syringe plungers to provide a steady head pressure and facilitate flow.
Tongs then were applied to the pin ends, and traction was achieved by hanging weights fixed to the tongs with sturdy cord.
Maximum-likelihood refinement using REFMAC [ 23], incorporating TLS (translation, libration screw-rotation) displacement refinement was carried out using a bulk solvent correction (Babinet model with mask) and autoBUSTER with TLS and the weighting fixed at 0.006 [ 21].
