Indeed, Asano et al. (2013b) show that, unless we consider shattering, the grain size distribution is biased to large (a ~ 0.1 μm) sizes.
Thus, even if the initial grain size distribution is biased to large grains with a ≳ 10−5 cm, these grains are efficiently shattered to produce a large abundance of small grains.
Even if the dust supply from AGB stars has a significant contribution, the results in this paper are not altered as long as the dust grains formed by AGB stars are biased to large (≳ 0.1 μm) sizes.
H10 assume that Type II SNe (SNe II) are the source of the first dust grains, which are biased to large sizes (≳ 0.1 μm) because small grains are destroyed in the shocked region in the SNe II (Nozawa et al., 2007, hereafter N07).
Also, due to the nature of the tumor collection at the MBTB, the cases are biased to larger sized tumors [ 15, 16].
An additional problem was that SNP selection was biased to larger scaffolds, as none smaller than 575 kb were anchored in v3.5.
Because of the small size of the optical signal, the activity spots could be biased to the regions that contained a large number of neurons that shared the same response properties.
For moderate sample sizes, both VB and the benchmark methods detect the redundant subset (though they are biased to somewhat larger values), but accuracy of the VB estimate drops with small or large sample sizes (for explanation, see [8]).
Although this result broadly agrees with emerging evidence against the random breakage model [ 25- 30], it should be treated with caution as the sample of RCIs is biased to an unknown extent toward larger inversion tracts: small inversions are difficult or impossible to observe microscopically, particularly when fixed.
The dust ejected from SNe is also biased to large grain sizes, because small grains are selectively destroyed by the shocked region within the SNe (Bianchi and Schneider, 2007; Nozawa et al., 2007).
