Aggregates were premoistened with deionized water by capillary action for 10 min and then subjected to wet sieving for 5 min27.
Recovery rates of over 85% were recorded with both washing and sieving methods.
Then, in the laboratory each core section was processed by washing and sieving the content sequentially through 4.75-, 2-, 1.4and 0.85-mm sieves.
Few investigators have utilized dextran sieving techniques to elucidate the properties of the glomerular filtration barrier in women with pre-eclampsia.
At monthly intervals, seeds were retrieved from the seed-soil mixture by sieving (1.44 mm 1.44 mm) and washing.
Measurements of pigment composition were taken from three individual cores, 1 day after sieving the sediment and from all experimental cores after 21 days.
Spores of mycorrhizal endogeny species extracted from soil by wet sieving and decanting.
The molluscan infauna of dead wood was also included, but no sieving for soil infauna was attempted.
