The phrase "a slight deviation of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a minor change or difference from a standard, norm, or expected value.
Example: "The experiment showed a slight deviation of the results from the predicted outcomes."
Alternatives: "a minor variation of" or "a small divergence from".
Moreover, a slight deviation of one candidate may, due to the nonlinear relations between emissions and candidates, lead to high NOx deviations.
Only a slight deviation of the receiver from a beam disrupted the steady tone, and the direction in which the craft was off the beam was indicated by the predominance of one Morse character or the other.
For strong independent noise and a strong sensory signal we observe a slight deviation of the theory from simulation results, as well as slight differences between the two models.
Only a subset of genes were upregulated differentially in response to each oligosaccharide, although a slight deviation of the GOS and xylobiose samples was observed.
The confidence limits of the 2 curves overlap for all the stimuli except for a slight deviation of the response to stimuli at amplitude difference 1.1° in rat 1.
Because we investigate the mutation rates for different lethality levels, it is desirable to know whether a slight deviation of the optimal parameters will lead to a significant difference in the subsequent mutation rate estimation and hypothesis testing.
Arjen Robben, so often Bayern's match-winner this season, deserved to score, even though his left foot long shot took a slight deviation off the head of his teammate Thomas Müller.
The PDE operating frequency had little impact on detonation initiation time when pre-detonator ignition method was used, and there was a slight deviation error of detonation initiation time at each of the operating frequencies.
Accessions 28 ('Yangambi no.2'; AAB) and 79 ('BRS Tropical'; AAAB) did not exhibit the B-specific 350 bp fragment upon digestion, while 102 ('Tugoomomboo'; AAA) displayed a typical ABB digestion pattern, and accession 195 ('Madu'; AA) presented a slight deviation in size of the B-specific fragment.
In a slight deviation from the method of Periole and colleagues, the strength of the force constant of the elastic network was determined by the secondary structure of each of the receptor residues.
Since the interpolation scheme unlikely achieves the exact actual value of the projection bins, a slight deviation in the intensities of the reconstructed images is expected.
