Differences between the Gulf of Lions and the Bay of Biscay could have been affected by sampling design.
Although packing density is not affected by sample shape (cube versus cuboid), initial modulus is affected by sample shape.
Because GFI is affected by sample size, it is no longer recommended (MacCallum and Hong 1997; Sharma et al. 2005).
Additionally, kinetics and, to a lesser extent equilibrium solubilities, are affected by sample history and conditions of sample exposure.
As discussed hereafter and by Manceau and coworkers [70], δ-MnO2 PDF data are affected by sample turbostratism, that is by the systematic presence of random translation and/or rotation between successive layers.
Moreover, longitudinal surveys are affected by sample attrition over time, though samples are usually refreshed as time goes on and remaining samples can possibly be calibrated in order to reduce potential selectivity bias.
Because only a sample of searches is used and searches for which there are insufficient observations are excluded, Google Trends data could be affected by sample bias (in small samples, only random draws with enough observations are shown) (Kearney and Levine 2015).
It has been reported that the sensitivities of AFM probe cantilevers can be affected by sample hardness [30], and then, the cantilever with 0.02 N/m spring constant were selected for phospholipid films imaging and not suitable for measurement of stiffer mica in our measurement.
However, because the chemical shifts of P forms are affected by sample conditions such as pH and salt concentration, it can be difficult to use the work of one lab group to identify P forms in samples analyzed by another lab group under different conditions.
