  2. Tree spiking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_spiking

    Tree spiking involves hammering a metal rod, nail or other material into a tree trunk, either inserting it at the base of the trunk where a logger might be expected to cut into the tree, or higher up where it would affect the sawmill later processing the wood. Contact with the spike often damages saw blades, which can result in injuries, or ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_spiking

    DNA spiking, also known as custom spiking, is the differing ratio of bases at a single degenerate position when synthesizing oligonucleotides. DNA spiking is a unequal proportions of bases at a given position (for example, 10% Adenine , 75% Guanine , 5% Cytosine & 10% Thymine ).

  9. Standard addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_addition

    Standard addition involves adding known amounts of analyte to an unknown sample, a process known as spiking. By increasing the number of spikes, the analyst can extrapolate for the analyte concentration in the unknown that has not been spiked. [2] There are multiple approaches to the standard addition. The following section summarize each approach.
