Figure Lengend Snippet: Surviving Spin1 M5 mice exhibit major defects in soleus, tibialis anterior, and diaphragm. ( a,b ) Appearance ( a ) and average body weight ( b ) of Spin1 M5 and control mice ( n =5 females in each category) at 30 weeks of age. Error bars represent +S.D., ** P <0.01. ( c ) Degeneration of the soleus (SOL) muscle in adult Spin1 M5 compared with control mice exemplified at 16 weeks of age. ( d ) Hind limb muscles (gastrocnemius (GC), plantaris (PL), soleus, tibialis anterior (TA), extensor digitorum longus (EDL), and quadriceps (QC)) of Spin1 M5 and control mice at 30 weeks of age. Arrows point at the soleus embedded in gastrocnemius and plantaris, which is visible in control but degenerated in Spin1 M5 mice. ( e ) Hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) staining of gastrocnemius, soleus, TA, and EDL muscle of Spin1 M5 and control mice at 30 weeks of age. ( f ) Fiber types in glycolytic (white) or oxidative (red) parts of the TA of Spin1 M5 and control mice at 15 weeks of age (top and middle rows) observed by immunofluorescence (IF) staining. Tissue sections were stained with selective antibody directed against MHC-I (purple), MHC-IIb (cyan), MHC-IIa (red), and MHC-IIx (green). For comparison, NADH staining was included (bottom row). Fibers with abnormal NADH staining are marked with arrows. Corresponding fibers in each column of images are squared

Article Snippet: Experimental features , Lithostratigraphic characterization includes texture, structure, lithology, colour, clast size and shape, sorting, weathering features, diamicton fabric, and the nature of contacts. We collected groups of typically six individually oriented cylindrical samples from 124 sample locations and processed them at the University of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. Magnetic susceptibility was measured with a Sapphire Instruments SI-2B magnetic susceptibility meter. Remanent magnetization was measured with an AGICO JR-6A spinner magnetometer prior to and after stepwise demagnetization using an ASC Scientific D-2000 alternating-field demagnetizer (4 to 16 steps at 2.5–30 mT spacing). Remanence directions were determined for most samples by principal component analysis and for a small number of samples (<2%) by the intersection of great circles. We calculated remanence directions of samples and mean remanence directions by group, stratigraphic unit, and polarity using AGICO's Remasoft v. 3.0..
