The phrase "a far smaller sample" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when comparing the size of a sample to another, indicating that it is significantly less in quantity.
Example: "In our study, we found that the control group had a far smaller sample compared to the experimental group."
Alternatives: "a significantly smaller sample" or "a much smaller sample".
According to that organization, which relied on a far smaller sample size, a stunning 54percentt of dogs and 59percentt of cats were overweight or obese in 2016.
It requires a far smaller sample and is performed much more quickly, but its results are not nearly as definitive.
They had, however, a far smaller sample size and a paucity of glucose measurements compared with our study.
The robustness of the two independent samples t-test when applied to three-, four- and five-point ordinal scaled data has previously been demonstrated by Heeren and D'Agostino [ 25] for far smaller sample sizes than this (as small as 20 per group).
Remarkably, whereas previous GWASs for other complex traits with far smaller sample sizes had discovered multiple novel variants, only one locus on chromosome 15, which harbors the cluster of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor genes CHRNA3-CHRNA5-CHRNB4, has been robustly associated with CPD across multiple GWAS of smoking [ 2- 7].
Besides being potentially quicker and requiring a far smaller biological sample to produce a result, such a device would be more flexible than existing chip-based biomedical tests, the researchers say.
Indeed, it has been suggested that sample sizes in the 100s to 1,000s may be needed to reliably detect effects of single genes upon cognitive performance measures, whereas far smaller samples may suffice for detecting effects of the same genes upon neural activation indices (Hariri and Weinberger 2003).
While using a far smaller number of samples than the present study (n = 9 islets from individuals without diabetes, n = 6 from individuals with an HbA1c ≥ 6.1), and also examining the expression of only a small number of miRNAs (not including miR-187), this earlier study provided some evidence for abnormal miRNA expression in islets from individuals with type 2 diabetes [ 30].
The low response rates were most likely a function of two issues: non-participating public health employees comprised a lower number of the total potential subjects; fewer non-participating LHDs responded to our request for information when building our database, thus leaving a far smaller pool from which to sample.
By comparison, our method requires only a single purification step after DNA pooling, and a far smaller number of tags than samples for barcoding.
A far smaller proportion is recycled.
