RNA quantity and quality were assessed by measuring spectral absorbance between 200 and 350 nm and by visual assessment on a 1% agarose gel.
Digestibility, retention, and balance were assessed by measuring Se concentrations in feces, urine, milk, and blood.
At rest, umbilical and uterine artery waveforms were assessed by measuring the pulsatility index.
Mechanical hyperalgesia and hindpaw inflammation were assessed by measuring paw pressure thresholds and hindpaw volume, respectively, just prior to i.pl.
26SP proteolytic activities, which were assessed by measuring caspase-like and chymotrypsin-like activities, were reduced in the roots of rpt5a but not rpt5b-3 mutants, irrespective of B conditions (Fig. 5b).
The characteristics of surviving grafts were assessed by measuring the graft volume, the number of TH+ neurons, the size of TH+ neurons soma, and CD5+ cell infiltration.
The in-plane stresses were assessed by measuring the {3 3 1} lattice plane spacing at each temperature in steps of 25 °C during thermal cycling.
Survival of seedlings was monitored during a year and their physiological responses to microclimate were assessed by measuring their photosynthetic efficiency.
Respondents' post-visit evaluations of care were assessed by measuring trust in the physician, visit-based satisfaction with the physician, and commitment toward the physician.
The mechanical properties of the composites were assessed by measuring the interlaminar shear stress, fracture toughness, fracture energy, and impact strength.
The anti-inflammatory properties were assessed by measuring the inhibition of secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
