The phrase "a more appropriate control" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing alternatives or options that are better suited for a particular situation or experiment.
Example: "After reviewing the data, we concluded that a more appropriate control would yield more reliable results."
Alternatives: "a better control" or "a more suitable control".
Study designs using related controls as a more appropriate control group for evaluating G×E interactions have been proposed but often assume unrealistic numbers of available relative controls.
Preferably, a separate cortex voxel representative for an independent functional pathway, such as a voxel covering the motor cortex, could have been used as a more appropriate control region, which could not be applied in our study to limit scan time to an acceptable extent.
In contrast, if one is interested in discovering gene expression patterns that distinguish sepsis from 'sterile inflammation', then a more appropriate control group would consist of patients who are not infected, but meet criteria for systemic inflammatory response (SIRS).
On the contrary, the saline condition may be a more appropriate control for assessing the effects of PKMζ inhibition, as the animals in saline control routinely exhibited normal retention of conditioned fear [ 64].
In addition, a more appropriate control group for the subjects with severe CLD used in our study would be those infants with mild or moderate CLD born at similar gestational ages.
(Note: in the previous task mentioned, FR4/0.5s variability – measured as cv – also decreased for frequency/IPIs, as shown in that study. Therefore the new task ran here is a more appropriate control for the questions raised by the reviewers).
The result showed that Fractional order controller gives better response than the other two with faster settling time and smaller peak overshoot, thus helps in designing a more appropriate controller for controlling the cylinder's extension force.
It is interesting to note that in this example, group A seems to be the more appropriate control, because an increase in IL8 mRNA levels from mild (A1F1) to advanced disease (A2F3) is observed, suggesting a model with IL8 activation during fibrogenesis.
It is particularly important to identify methicillin-resistant CoNS species in companion animals for better understanding of microbiome and disease ecology, as well as for the selection of more appropriate control options in case they are needed.
In this regard, potential biomarkers should also be evaluated in more appropriate control conditions that can mimic ALS, the exclusion of which causes regularly diagnostic delays during early disease stages, when patients present with only upper or lower motor neuron signs [ 106].
In our previous work we only partially controlled for phylogenetic similarity by including species identity as random effects in the models, while here we relied in PGLS models that allowed a more appropriate phylogenetic control.
