The phrase "a minor contribution from" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the involvement or input of someone or something that is not significant in the overall context.
Example: "The report included a minor contribution from the research team, which added some valuable insights."
Alternatives: "a small input from" or "a slight contribution from".
Another study investigating genome-wide SNP diversity in Central and East-Asia [ 50] found (like us) that haplotype diversity is strongly correlated with latitude as a result of prehistoric population divergence, but suggested that the geographic sources contributing to East Asian populations were mainly from South East Asia with a minor contribution from Central Asia.
The HCrO4 − species is dominant at approximately pH <6 and CrO4 2− at pH >6 with a minor contribution from NaCrO4 − species.
Gibb's plots confirm that the water chemistry in the area was mostly controlled by weathering of rocks with a minor contribution from atmospheric sources.
Based on chemical characteristics, the primary sourcing aquifers are characterized to be both the Entrada and Navajo Sandstones with a minor contribution from Paradox Formation brine.
Geology of the area in comparison with the results obtained in the chemical cross plots showed the dominance of silicate weathering, with a minor contribution from the cation exchange.
In the presence as well as in the absence of acetonitrile the hydrogen evolution reaction was found to follow a Volmer-Heyrovsky mechanism with a minor contribution from the Tafel reaction in parallel.
We speculated whether this could be due to a minor contribution of complement activation from Ficolin-2 according to the binding experiments.
While the adrenal gland is the main contributor of circulating androgens, conflicting evidence indicates a minor contribution of circulating androgens from the postmenopausal ovary [ 30, 31].
They further demonstrated that corneal rethickening caused myopic regression mediated almost solely by stromal rethickening; only a minor contribution appeared to originate from restoration of the postoperative epithelial thickness [ 11].
The loadings revealed that signals at 3.04 and 4.05 ppm from creatinine and a broad signal from urea at 5.50 6.10 ppm contribute to intrasubject variation in urine metabolome, while minor contribution from hippurate signals at 3.96, 7.54, and 7.82 ppm is also evident).
Accordingly, the emission of the pristine and annealed bilayer is dominated by PL of P3HT with a peak at 720 nm with vibrational shoulder at 690 nm, with only minor contribution from F8BT at the low wavelength side (note: F8BT absorption peaks at 460 nm, emission peaks at 540 nm, not shown).
