ABSTRACT Our central thesis is that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, nicknamed "Mormons", has created a culture which is not only friendly to but which also encourages change. This culture grows out of doctrinal preferences which recognize the importance of change to processes of

...cobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis. Antibody levels were determined using an ELISA and measuring optical density (OD) values from milk samples of 11,535 cows from 99 herds. The pedigree of the 11,535 cows and information about days in milk, parity...

...years, but with higher yields. TMB X-tra is an aqueous based, nontoxic, mono-component formulation that yields 20% higher OD values and therefore is extra sensitive, says the company. It is also reportedly more robust and resists higher temperatures...

...was obtained up to 32.8 mg/L OD using a glucose-glutamic acid standard solution. Comparable results were obtained for OD values estimated by the biosensor and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) determined by the 5-day method. The biosensor was applied...

...Of the 155 faecal samples from patients with diarrhoea, 96 were positive by rapid ELISA and 95 in routine NIV ELISA. OD values were higher in rapid EUSA. The rapid ELISA takes only 4 h to complete. Interpretation & conclusion: Rotavirus diagnosis...

...was measured at 592 nm every 8 hours for 7 days. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed on various data sets: OD values at fixed average well color development (AWCD), kinetic parameters and area under the OD curve as a function of time...

...average OD plus three standard deviations (SD) of 76 nobuto strips from counties where all OD values were [is less than] 0.190. Statistically, animals with OD values [is greater than] 0.2 can be considered to be seropositive with 99% confidence. Univariate...

...density (OD) of 0.36 (mean 2 SD of healthy controls) was chosen as diagnostic criterion for the diseased group. The mean OD values in the sera of patients with culture proven melioidosis was significantly (P < 0.001) higher than that of healthy controls...
