Experimental samples

A possible explanation of the hysteresis could be the non-equilibrium of the DNA hydration. In that case the value of hysteresis has to depend on the size of the experimental sample. However, such a dependence is not observed in the wide range of DNA film thicknesses (0.05-0.2 fmi) [14], [12]. Thus, hysteresis cannot be a macroscopic phenomenon and does reflect the molecular interaction of water and the biopolymer. 

Assume that an experiment has been carried out on an atom to measure its total angular momentum L. According to quantum mechanics, only values equal to L(L+1) h will be observed. Further assume, for the particular experimental sample subjected to observation, that values of equal to 2 and 04f were detected in relative amounts of 64 % and 36%, respectively. This means that the atom s original wavefunction / could be represented as ... 

The experimental sample on which the frequency histogram is based has an experimental mean m and an experimental variance s, which are... 

Populations are very large collections of values. In practice, experimental pharmacology deals with samples (much smaller collections) from a population. The statistical tools used to deal with samples differ somewhat from those used to deal with populations. When an experimental sample is obtained, the investigator often wants to know about two features of the sample central tendency and variability. The central tendency refers to the most representative estimate of the value, while the variability defines the confidence that the estimate is a true reflection of that value. Central tendency estimates can be the median (value that divides the sample into two equal halves) or the... 

On the other hand, comparative analysis of Fi variables gave the relative reduction of SOS-response in preincubated with AR bacterial cells (Table 3). So, repression SOS-response was proportionally to the length of the AR alkyl radical and was Fi = 3.7 (for Ce-AR) and Fi = 7.0 (for C12-AR) that 76.43-40.40 fold lower than the SOS-system activation level in cells exposured only by UV radiation. With reduction of the AR concentration to lO- M is still observed statistically significant differences in the values of induction index (Fi) of the control and experimental samples, although the repression of SOS-response was less expressed. An increase of the AR concentration up to 1(>3 M in the case of Ci-AR and C3-AR led to some suppression, and for the C5-, Ca- and C12-AR to increase the values of R. 

There are various ways to check the quality of the resulting structures with respect to experiment. A typical check would be to compare the mean square end-to-end distance with results from scattering experiments. However, since the experimental samples are highly polydisperse, the results from scattering experiments are somewhat questionable [195]. Furthermore, a crucial check is the direct comparison of conformations of systems. In order to be able to compare the conformations resulting from simulations unanimously to experiment we reintroduce the chemical details into the coarse-grained chain. This is one of the reasons why it is so important to device a mapping procedure which stays close to the chemical structure of the objects. We have a one-... 

Simulation of the (n-Bu)3SnH reduction of PVC is carried out in a manner similar to that described for TCH. Instead of beginning with 100 TCH molecules we take a 1000 repeat unit PVC chain that has been Monte Carlo generated to reproduce the stereosequence composition of the experimental sample of PVC used in the reduction to E-V copolymers (2), ie. a Bernoullian PVC with P =0.45. At this point we have generated a PVC chain with a chain length and a stereochemical structure that matches our experimental starting sample of PVC. 

The microarray consists of small DNA fragments, chemically synthesized at specific locations on a coated quartz surface. The number of locations on one array is in the range of millions. DNA is extracted and labeled from experimental samples, and then samples are hybridized on the array. Labels are monitored so that gene- and exon-level expression analysis, novel transcript discovery, genotyping, and resequencing can be carried out. 

The experimental samples of Air-Zn and Air-Mg batteries with PANI-TEG catalysts were realized in the standard AAA size of MnC -Zn primary batteries. The composite material based on 70% of TEG was used for construction of cylindrical cells of metal- air battery. 

Starting natural graphite from Zavalie deposit in, Ukraine was chemically intercalated in sulfuric acid. Potassium persulphate was used as an oxidizer. Thermal expansion of graphite was performed at 900°C [3], Carbon content in the experimental samples was of about 99.0%. 

The comparative testing of the experimental samples of power sources of LR2325 size (system Mn02-Li) and 1142 size (system Mn02-Zn), Tables 2, 3, support the above conclusion. 

The independent comparative testing of the experimental samples of the internally-made power sources of IGIC 1142 size and the Toshiba s L43 (both size designations stand for similar cell sizes) were carried out. It was shown that power sources containing manganese dioxide cathode obtained... 

It should also be noted that ternary and higher order polymer-polymer interactions persist in the theta condition. In fact, the three-parameter theoretical treatment of flexible chains in the theta state shows that in real polymers with finite units, the theta point corresponds to the cancellation of effective binary interactions which include both two body and fundamentally repulsive three body terms [26]. This causes a shift of the theta point and an increase of the chain mean size, with respect to Eq. (2). However, the power-law dependence, Eq. (3), is still valid. The RG calculations in the theta (tricritical) state [26] show that size effect deviations from this law are only manifested in linear chains through logarithmic corrections, in agreement with the previous arguments sketched by de Gennes [16]. The presence of these corrections in the macroscopic properties of experimental samples of linear chains is very difficult to detect. 

The reference sampling rate (/ s,ref) as well as the exposure-specific effect jSj are divided out. For practical applications, it therefore suffices to know how the compound-specific effect depends on the properties of the analytes. Observing that the experimental sampling rates have a similar dependence on log ATow, but show a varying offset for the different studies, the log-transformed sampling rates observed in 19 calibration experiments in 9 studies were fitted as a third order polynomial in log Kq -...

We found that it is necessary to run several sets of differential display primers prior to an analysis of the distribution of differential display bands. This allows for a comparison between different independent reactions using different PCR primers to assess the quality of individual cDNA samples and discriminate between sample-to-sample variability and potential positive bands that are consistently found in different repUcates. The presence or absence of a specific band in lanes corresponding to independent experimental samples indicates a reproducible difference in the relative amount of cDNA in a given sample, which should reflect differences in mRNA levels. However, the interpretation of the differential display results is not always straightforward. For example, a thick band can reflect quantitative differences in the initial concentration of a specific cDNA between samples or can represent comigration of two bands. Replication of the PCR reactions for samples that have differences in banding pattern will eliminate a significant number of false positive differential display differences. Also, in some cases, it may be informative to alter the electrophoresis conditions to maximize resolution of a band of interest prior to isolation, reamplification, and further analysis of potential positive bands. 

Proceed with the TUNEL Assay for Adherent Cells (Subheading 3.5.2.). Process all positive control slides in separate coplin jars to avoid introducing DNasel contamination into experimental samples. 

Experimental samples are mainly derived from tissue culture cells, laboratory animals, or human tissues collected from hospitals after surgical biopsies and autopsies. With human and animal tissue specimens, it is important to arrest metabolic processes within 5-10 min of collection in order to preserve mRNAs from degradation by internal enzymatic reactions (26,27). Most hospitals use 10% buffered formalin as a tissue fixative. Subsequently, each tissue slice is trapped in a paraffin block. Series of 4-5-pm-thick sections are cut and mounted on silanated slides. Formalin-fixed archival tissues have been successfully used in in situ PCR and in situ hybridization protocols (28-32). However, the procedure for RNA protection is not always followed. It is often difficult to alter or control the routine procedures of hospitals for the required protection of mRNAs in surgically removed human tissues. 

Many Quantro II membranes varying incrementally in composition have been under test for 18 months at Albany International Research Co. Tests are performed on experimental samples of fiber. Approximately 16 inches of multifilament yarn are typically subjected to various feeds and conditions. Such a yarn sample is embedded in epoxy which is sealed into a pressure system. Several test facilities are in operation to provide various feeds and conditions. 

The growth of individual colonies of S. aureus was observed in some samples on the 10th day after infection with influenza virus. On Day 14, the average concentration of S. aureus in experimental samples was less than 10 CEU/g (CEU colony forming unit), while in control samples, the concentration of bacterial contamination with S. epidermidis and S. aureus was higher — 10 CEU/g.
