Label	Id	Description
Likelihood-ratio test	OBI_0000861	[Likelihood-ratio is a data transformation which tests whether there is evidence of the need to move from a simple model to a more complicated one (where the simple model is nested within the complicated one); tests of the goodness-of-fit between two models.]
northern blot assay	OBI_0000860	[An assay that determines the presence of gene transcripts by hybridizing labeled RNA or DNA probes against messenger RNAs isolated from tissue or cell cultures, resolved on denaturing gel, transfered by a blotting procedure to a solid support. Detection of hybridization signals is carried out by immunofluorescence or radioactivity measurements using photographic films or digital imaging devices such as Phosphor Imager.]
specifically dependent continuant	BFO_0000020	[A continuant that inheres in or is borne by other entities. Every instance of A requires some specific instance of B which must always be the same., b is a specifically dependent continuant = Def. b is a continuant & there is some independent continuant c which is not a spatial region and which is such that b s-depends_on c at every time t during the course of b’s existence. (axiom label in BFO2 Reference: [050-003]), b is a relational specifically dependent continuant = Def. b is a specifically dependent continuant and there are n > 1 independent continuants c1, … cn which are not spatial regions are such that for all 1 i < j n, ci and cj share no common parts, are such that for each 1 i n, b s-depends_on ci at every time t during the course of b’s existence (axiom label in BFO2 Reference: [131-004])]
fiat object part	BFO_0000024
three-dimensional spatial region	BFO_0000028
one-dimensional spatial region	BFO_0000026
object aggregate	BFO_0000027
spatiotemporal region	BFO_0000011
spectrolyse heparin antifactor-Xa assay	OBI_0000808	[An assay that quantitatively measures heparin in human plasma using Factor Xa and Antithrombin III in excess, where the rate of Factor Xa inhibition is directly proportional to the heparin concentration. The residual Factor Xa activity, measured with a Factor Xa-specific chromogenic substrate, is inversely proportional to the heparin concentration.]
presentation of stimulus	OBI_0000807	[a planned process in which an organism is exposed to some stimulus with the intent to invoke an action]
frequency unit	UO_0000105
antithrombin-III berichrome assay	OBI_0000805	[An antithrombin-III (AT-III) assay in which exogenous bovine thrombin and heparin are added to test plasma to form a thrombin-heparin-AT complex. The residual thrombin not bound then hydrolyzes the p-nitroalanine substrate to produce a yellow color, which is read at 405 nm. The intensity of color produced is inversely proportional to the AT present. A calibration is done with standard human plasma reagent and results for a given specimen are reported as a percentage relative to the standard]
informing investigator of subject study arm	OBI_0000804	[A process in which an investigator is made aware of which study arm that a patient is participating in, for example whether they are receiving a placebo or a treatment with an investigational compound.]
denaturing	OBI_0000803	[Is a process in which the tertiary or secondary structure of a polymer is disrupted]
prothrombin time assay	OBI_0000802	[An assay that measures the prothrombin ratio, which is the prothrombin time for a patient, divided by the result for control plasma. Most commonly the test is preformed using blood plasma. Blood is drawn into a test tube containing liquid citrate, which acts as an anticoagulant. An excess of calcium is added to enable the blood to clot again.Tissue factor (also known as factor III or thromboplastin) is added, and the time the sample takes to clot is measured optically as the prothrombin time, which is compared to a control sample.]
pressure unit	UO_0000109
spike train datum	OBI_0000801	[A measurement datum which represents information about an ordered series of action potentials in an organism's CNS measured over time.]
anticoagulant tube storage of blood specimen	OBI_0000819	[Storage of a blood specimen in a tube with anticoagulant]
calibration	OBI_0000818	[A planned process with the objective to establish the relationship between data produced by a measurement device and physical qualities. This is done by using the measurement device under defined conditions, and either tuning it to adjust the measured output, or record the output and use it as a reference in future measurements.]
fucoidan	OBI_0000817	[Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide (MW: average 20,000) found mainly in various species of brown seaweed such as kombu, limu moui,bladderwrack, wakame, mozuku, and hijiki (variant forms of fucoidan have also been found in animal species, including the sea cucumber).]
