However, sensitivity analyses showed that item-level bias did not appreciably bias item-set based alcohol abuse estimates among this cohort.
The high c-BN content can be maintained even at an appreciably reduced bias of −80 V when a nucleation layer is formed in advance.
Furthermore, once we move beyond the direct health benefits to other social and economic impacts of meeting the health needs of some rather than other persons or groups, the potential increases appreciably for bias, prejudice, stereotypes, and self or group interest to creep, albeit often unintentionally, into the assessments.
However, our restriction to ages 30-69 years, an age range with a high proportion of cases both microscopically confirmed and with a specific morphology code, tended to minimize the potential for any such bias appreciably distorting the results.
Although adding context changes to the demands of memory did not appreciably alter the bias of color matches, we completed the same analysis about the source of errors that we did for color matches in memory.
While there may be different genome size biases in different taxa [2], [3], there are plenty of invertebrates with big genomes, and these do not look appreciably different – at least with regards to the landscape of non-coding sequence conservation and function – than comparably sized vertebrate genomes.
Compared with the results of the primary analysis, this 1-year lagged analysis did not alter our results appreciably, suggesting that detection bias, even if present, was likely minimal.
Given no evidence of effect modification by these factors, and no sources of bias found in any other verification test, it seems unlikely that other confounders would bias our estimates appreciably.
