The phrase "a sample and thus" is not correct as it stands and lacks clarity in written English.
It can be used when you want to indicate a conclusion or result that follows from a sample, but it needs more context to be meaningful.
Example: "The data collected from a sample and thus indicates a trend in consumer behavior."
Alternatives: "a sample and therefore" or "a sample and as a result".
The contrast in the SEM image originates from the emission of a second electron from a sample, and thus, bright contrasts indicate the existence of materials that differ from their surroundings.
Both the diagnostic procedure and the multi-centre design influence the behavioural characteristics of a sample and, thus, may bias statistical analyses, particularly in genetic or neurobehavioral studies.
In order to remove grid structure from a sample, and thus reconstruct optically sectioned image, at least three images have to be recorded, as explained in [ 9].
AFM provides tri-dimensional high-resolution information about the surface of a sample, and thus cannot give any direct information about the interior of a cell.
The indices are independent of the number of species in a sample and thus represent useful tools for analysing historical data (Bevilacqua et al. 2009).
The results are parameters for this particular population rather than estimates based on a sample and thus we present the results without confidence intervals.
Conditional on S, is directly proportional to nucleotide diversity (the average pairwise number of differences between sequences in a sample) and is thus a natural measure of sequence diversity within windows defined to have a fixed S. The full analytical pipeline is summarized in supplementary table S3, Supplementary Material online.
However, the working distance becomes short due to the taken space between an objective lens and a target sample and thus the selection of an objective lens with a high NA objective is very limited in practical use.
In addition the expert panels, whilst chosen for their expertise from across one country to represent local and national perspectives, were a small purposive rather than a representative sample, and thus these findings should be treated with appropriate caution.
The ICC 3, 1) approach considers the study readers to be a fixed sample and thus not representative of a larger population of raters.
Overall the results suggest that the self-report GPAQ may be used appropriately to estimate levels of MVPA and monitor change in MVPA in a population sample and thus to assess the effectiveness of PA interventions on a community or population level.
