The time-evolution of the phase composition, the average particle size and the particle size distribution (Fig. 3) of anatase nanoparticles were described quantitatively using the Smoluchowski equation.[34] Figure 3 Particle size distribution of nanocrystalline anatase particles in a sample of initially nanometer-sized amorphous TiO2, heated at 325°C for 4 h.
A sample of the data, initially reviewed by the coder and two additional 'blinded' members of the research team, achieved a high level of inter-rater reliability.
Interestingly, 16% of a sample of 1,482 people initially identifying themselves as Aboriginal in a recent population census changed their response to non-Aboriginal when re-questioned days later [ 21].

Lactose-bound Gal3C and apo-Gal3C samples were prepared as reported previously, using proteins expressed in [N,1-C1]glucose-containing minimal medium.H N HSQC spectra were acquired with increasing concentrations of glycerol on a sample of Gal3C that was initially in the apo state at 0.46 mM.
Also, studies may collect a sample of triads to confirm results initially found using a traditional case-control study.
