It may be intended to describe something that represents or symbolizes something minor or insignificant, but the phrasing is awkward and unclear.
Example: "The painting is a reflection of small moments in life that often go unnoticed."
Alternatives: "a representation of the minor" or "an indication of the trivial".
Off the top of his head, he could think of six of his former students who have been serving in Iraq, a reflection of small town values and a depressed economy.
The results were highly variable and no statistically significant relationship between them and disease progression or maintenance of SD was observed which is likely to be a reflection of small sample size.
Although statistical tests of this hypothesis for HCV are not always significant (e.g. [ 14, 15]), such failures to reject the strict clock are most likely a reflection of small sample sizes, because larger HCV data sets indicate significant among-lineage rate variability [ 11, 16].
Since, these factors are also expressed by macrophages we cannot exclude that their reduced levels are a reflection of smaller atherosclerotic lesions, instead of being a direct result of absence of p55 TNFR signaling.
This implies that the apparent resistance to innovation and directional change in earlier populations may in turn be a reflection of smaller effective population sizes, which would intensify the effects of drift-like processes in eliminating novel and rare cultural variants, even if they had adaptive value [23] [25].
The observation that fewer SNP are shared between cows and bulls for Jerseys than for Holsteins is likely a reflection of smaller sample size.
Interestingly, morphology varied between different brain regions, suggesting a gradient of susceptibility to Smn deficiency and not merely an overall reduction in brain volume as a reflection of smaller body size.
This lower sample size is both a reflection of smaller numbers of older men living in the DSS (see Fig. 2 in Tanser et al. [25]) and lower participation rates of older men in HIV surveillance [4].
16 This phenomenon could be a reflection of smaller trials' being prone to reporting bias: studies with statistically significant results tend to be published more frequently than those with non-significant results.
The absence of even a moderately strong association is a reflection of the small proportion of deaths (3.6%) judged likely to be avoidable and of the relatively small variation in avoidable death proportions between trusts.
This difference could be due to the small number of changes and polymorphic sites in each test, which is a reflection of the small size of the genes; but pooling the data from all five genes also failed to show a significant result.
