All testees enter a pressure chamber, accompanied by the doctor, and the 'tank' is sealed. Typically, there is in the chamber a somewhat surprising object: an inflated volleyball, water polo ball or similar inflated ball. Upon sealing the tank, pressure is increased, while the testees equalise their eardrum pressure. (if any testee is unable to 'Valsalva', the test stops, and pressure is slowly released.) Pressure builds within the chamber until the chamber is equal to water pressure at "escape depth".

The time to the Most Recent Common Ancestor (tMRCA) for European G2b, derived by generating a median-joining network of over 25 haplotypes with 67 Y-STRs, yields a date of 955 years from the average birth year of the testees (estimated to be 1950), with a standard deviation of 107 years. The mutation rate used is based on that of family groups with known most recent common ancestors. So far, this tMRCA includes all groups of European G2bs, including it seems from preliminary evidence, the Italians. This late tMRCA date for all of G2b in Europe raises the question of when G2b first entered Europe.

" Maureen Ryan, writing for the Chicago Tribune, applauded both the voice cast and the "deadpan wit and surreal goofiness." Mark A. Perigard of the Boston Herald, awarded the episode a "B+" calling it a "spy spoof [that] hits a bull’s-eye with risque snark and one of the best vocal casts assembled for any animated series." In an article for the San Francisco Chronicle, Tim Goodman called "Mole Hunt" a "brilliant pilot." Rob Owen in his review for the series in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said that though it was crude, the episode is "far more clever than last fall's disappointing 'Testees,'" and that it "wins points with its observational humor about modern life and in its mocking of mundane workplace minutiae.

According to the U.S. guidelines, there are multiple size thresholds for declaring a positive result of latent tuberculosis from the Mantoux test: For testees from high-risk groups, such as those who are HIV positive, the cutoff is 5 mm of induration; for medium risk groups, 10 mm; for low-risk groups, 15 mm. The U.S. guidelines recommend that a history of previous BCG vaccination should be ignored. For details of tuberculin skin test interpretation, please refer to the CDC guidelines (reference given below). The UK guidelines are formulated according to the Heaf test: In patients who have had BCG previously, latent TB is diagnosed if the Heaf test is grade 3 or 4 and have no signs or symptoms of active TB; if the Heaf test is grade 0 or 1, then the test is repeated.

Every profile in this table indicates acceptance of immigrants in all senses indicated by the previous profile, plus an additional sense in which immigrants are accepted. If, in a large number of observations, only the profiles listed in Table 1 are observed, then the Guttman Scale Hypothesis is supported, and the values of the Scale (last column of Table 1) have the following properties: # They assess the strength of the attribute "acceptance of social contact with immigrants"; # They reproduce the original observations. (For example, a respondent's Scale score of 2, implies that that respondent responded positively to questions 1 and 2 and negatively to questions 3, 4, and 5.) Guttman Scale, if supported by data, is useful for efficiently assessing subjects (respondents, testees or any collection of investigated objects) on a one-dimensional scale with respect to the specified attribute.
