Stimuli were displayed on a VIEWPixx monitor in M16 mode (greyscale) at a 1920 × 1080-pixel resolution and a 120-Hz refresh rate. The display had a size of 51.5 × 29 cm and was viewed at a distance of 60 cm. Luminance was 0.21 cd/m2 for black, 105.70 cd/m2 for white, and 58.33 cd/m2 for grey pixels. Eye movements were recorded with a desktop-mounted EyeLink 1000 (SR Research Ltd., Ontario, Canada) with a sampling rate of 1,000 Hz. Experimental software and analysis were written in MATLAB R2017a (Mathworks, Natick, MA, USA) using the Psychophysics Toolbox (Brainard, 1997 (link); Pelli, 1997 (link)) for stimulus display and the Eyelink Toolbox (Cornelissen et al., 2002 (link)) for eye tracker operation. Participants responded using a standard keyboard. Participant's head position was stabilized using a forehead- and chinrest.

Assessing Ventricular Gradient Changes with AADs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We assessed the effect of AADs on 5 previously defined GEH parameters (illustrated in Figure 1): Spatial ventricular gradient (SVG) is defined as the vector sum of the area QRS- and area T-vectors which are obtained by integrating the QRST complex. The SVG has magnitude and orientation in 3-dimensional space expressed as azimuth (angle in the XZ/transverse plane) and elevation (angle in the XY/frontal plane). Spatial QRST angle is the 3-dimensional angle between the area QRS- and area T-vectors. Sum absolute QRST integral (SAI QRST) is defined as the sum of areas under the absolute values of the X, Y, and Z leads. In addition to these established GEH parameters, we measured the SVG-QRS peak angle defined as the 3-dimensional angle between the SVG and peak QRS vector. Details regarding these definitions/calculations may be found in the Supplement. ECG/VCG processing and parameter calculations were performed using Matlab R2017a (Mathworks, Natick, MA).

Microalgae Growth Kinetics Monitoring

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The optical density was measured in triplicate six times a day – about every two hours during illuminated conditions – at 750 nm (OD750), using a single‐beam spectrometer (Genesys 10S UV‐VIS, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, USA) with an optical path length of 10 mm. In order to correlate OD750 with the cell dry weight concentration, one 5 mL sample of the microalga suspension was taken twice a day. The cells were centrifuged (10 min, 15 000 g), (Rotixa 50RS, Hettich, Tuttlingen, Germany) washed with deionized water, centrifuged again (Mikro 20, Hettich, Tuttlingen, Germany) and dried for 48 h in pre‐dried reaction tubes. OD750 and cell dry weight concentrations (cX) were linearly correlated for each batch process.
The specific growth rates μ were estimated each day during exponential growth, applying the Matlab R2020a function ‘fit’ of the curve fitting toolbox to identify the parameter μ of Equation 1.
cxt=cx,0·eμ·t The 95% confidence interval for the growth rate was determined using the function ‘confint’ (Matlab R2017a, Mathworks, Nattick, Massachusetts, USA).

Modeling Light Attenuation in Photobioreactors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Different light attenuation models like Beer‐Lambert or Reynolds and Pacala [43] were compared (data shown in Supporting Information). A modified Lambert‐Beer model gave the best results for estimating light attenuation caused by D. salina suspended in the flat‐plate gas‐lift photobioreactors (see Table 2).
It=I0·eε·cx·l
I(t) is the measured light transmission at the light‐averted side of the photobioreactor, I0 the incident photon flux density, ε the specific extinction coefficient, cX the time dependent cell dry weight concentration and l the length of the light path in suspension (20 mm).
As the incident photon flux density is not constant, a relative photon flux density Irelative was introduced as quotient of transmission and incident photon flux density.
Irelative=ItI0=eε·cx·l The specific extinction coefficient ε was estimated applying the Matlab R2020a function ‘fit’ of the curve fitting toolbox. The 95 % confidence interval of the specific extinction coefficient was determined using the function ‘confint’ (Matlab R2017a, Mathworks, Nattick, Massachusetts, USA).

Microstructural Mechanics of Bone Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Quantitative analysis on local compressive strains were reported as mean, median, and inter-quartile range between 25th and 75th percentile of the data on violin plots. Two-tailed Pearson correlation analysis was performed between microstructural parameters (i.e., TMD, BV/TV, and Tb.Th) and mechanical properties (i.e., stiffness and mean local compressive strain) for all six specimens. Additionally, two-tailed Pearson correlation analysis was done between the mean local strains at the most (20% of the BV highly strained) and least (remaining volume) strained regions at the maximum applied compression and microstructural parameters. Both regions within the same specimens were considered related, thus the non-parametric Wilcoxon signed rank test (α = 0.05) was used to compare strain magnitude, trabecular thickness, and tissue mineral densities. All statistical analyses were done using Matlab software (Matlab R2017a, The MathWorks Inc., Natick, MA, USA).

Functional MRI Preprocessing Pipeline

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Functional images were preprocessed using the CONNv17 FC toolbox (43 (link)), implemented in MatlabR2017a (The MathWorks Inc., Natick, Massachusetts, USA). The preprocessing pipeline included realignment, denoising of motion artifacts, and head motion (aCompCor (44 (link)), segmentation, coregistration to each participant's anatomical scan, normalization to an age-specific T1 template for pediatric studies (45 (link)), re-sliced to a 2-mm isotropic resolution in MNI space, and smoothing using a Gaussian kernel of 6 mm full-width at half-maximum [FWHM]). Additional steps after denoising included band-pass filtering of the BOLD time series (between 0.008 and 0.09 Hz) and linear detrending. After the motion artifacts and head motion detection, 34 children were excluded for excessive motion (which is to say, those with <4 min of data were excluded) (42 (link)).

Functional Connectivity Analysis of Stage II Sleep EEG

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We developed an EEG processing pipeline (Figure 1) to generate measures reflecting functional connectivity during stage II or quiet sleep between cortical regions measured by scalp EEG in canonical EEG frequency bands. We computed between-channel connectivity measures using mutual information (MI), a nonlinear measure of shared information between two signals. MI has several advantages as a measure of EEG connectivity for this study: (1) it is relatively straightforward to compute; (2) it can identify nonlinear and anticorrelated relationships between signals; and (3) it can be used on longer signal recordings without being significantly affected by transient artifacts or epileptiform discharges.29 –31 (link) All data and statistical analyses were performed using custom code and standard or publicly-available toolboxes in MATLAB R2017a (The MathWorks Inc., Natick, MA). Full details of EEG preprocessing, filtering and MI calculation are included in the Methods supplement.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The correlation of macrophage-related genes and glycolysis-related genes in a prostate cancer cohort was computed using level 3 gene expression estimates from the RNA-Sequencing in the TCGA PRAD database, extracted and hosted by Firehose DB (BROAD Institute, https://gdac.broadinstitute.org/). The expression estimates were derived using RSEM (Accurate transcript quantification from RNASeq) method.26 (link) In Fig. 1a and S1A, the original level 3 Illumina HiSeq RNAseqV2 RSEM gene-level normalised mRNA expression data for TCGA PRAD was downloaded from the TCGA data portal in March of 2016 and log2 transformed, log2(x + 1). The 333 primary prostate tumours and associated clinical information, including reviewed Gleason score, were retrieved from the TCGA PRAD333 publication.27 Box and scatter plots were generated in MATLAB R2017a (MathWorks Inc.).

Macrophage infiltration correlates with MCT4 expression. Correlation between CSF1R/CD206 and MCT4 mRNA expression in early-stage patients (Gleason score = 3+3) and advanced prostate (Gleason score = 3+4, 4+3 and ≥8) retrieved from TCGA PRAD333: R = 0.719 and 0.643, respectively
