A post from March 15 on the A & S Research website simply states, âToday is a sad day to report the passing of Dr. Roger K. Leir, we have lost a great family man, podiatrist and devoted ufologist. He will be greatly missed by all.â.
On the ECG, failure to capture is identified by the presence of pacing spikes without associated myocardial depolarization. Causes include pacing lead problems, battery or component failure, low pacing voltage or elevated myocardial pacing thresholds, and exit block.
Usually the first thing researchers do is blame a faulty enzyme or reagent when an experiment fails but with PCR this is actually less likely to be the cause for failure. More often deeper internal problems such as primer design, thermocycler parameters, or nonspecific binding to other template sequences are the cause.
