The phrase "a sparse distribution" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are describing a situation or dataset that has few occurrences or is spread out over a wide area.
Example: "The data revealed a sparse distribution of species across the region, indicating that certain areas were less populated than others."
Alternatives: "a thin distribution" or "a scattered distribution."
However, these techniques require a sparse distribution of simultaneously activated fluorophores in the field of view, resulting in larger time needed for the construction of the full image.
A structurally complex limestone having low matrix porosity and a sparse distribution of fractures underlies the study site.
Our simulations also suggest that an inability to find mates (an Allee effect) becomes increasingly important for landscapes that support a sparse distribution of territories.
This is achieved by a sparse distribution of activated reactants caused by specific pore structures or low concentrations of strong acid sites.
In contrast to dental calculus, dental hard tissues are largely acellular, with live cells in mature teeth being limited to a layer of odontoblasts lining the pulp chamber wall, a sparse distribution of entrapped cementocytes within apical cementum, and a layer of cementoblasts around the periodontal ligament44,50,51.
Then, all columns of the data matrix share similar waveforms and a core physical phenomenon arises, i.e., these singular values of the data matrix demonstrates a sparse distribution pattern.
This method is based on an iterative decrease of the distance between the distribution of the signal and a target sparse distribution, under a perceptual constraint.
However, isopenicillin N biosynthesis had a very sparse distribution, while lysine biosynthesis I had a nearly uniform distribution in these phyla.
Starting at a really sparse distribution, these creatures tend to clone together and spawn forever.
The low-frequency interval consists of a relatively sparse distribution of resonant modes, while at higher frequencies the modes are packed so densely that they are best characterized statistically as a random frequency response with certain (regular) statistical properties.
This might have something to do with the relatively large size of the South — stretching from the Washington, D.C. area all the way down to the far western tip of Texas — and a somewhat sparse distribution of major startup hubs throughout the region.
