This study aimed to assess if the period of sampling affected conclusions on the responses of arthropod community structure to metal pollution in urban soils in the Mediterranean area.
In conclusion, hour of sampling was associated with the urinary concentrations of select phthalate metabolites and phenols.
To obtain conclusions, the out-of-sample forecasting capabilities of the models should be evaluated.
For example, if the complete observation sets tend to be from observations with unit costs that are systematically higher or lower than average, the conclusions for out-of sample estimation drawn from an analysis based on list-wise deletion will be biased upwards or downwards [ 57].
As a general conclusion, for the design of sampling plans based on any statistical distribution, OC curves that reflect microbial agglomeration should be constructed considering that variance is not constant but dependant on the level of microbial concentration of the lot.
During and at the conclusion of the trial samples of embryos and larvae were collected to monitor development, occurrence of morphological anomalies, rate of length and weight increase, FWC, and the length/weight relationship.
All assays were done using commercially available ELISA, employed according to manufacturer's instructions, with all samples batches analysed at the conclusion of the study and samples from each participant included on the same plate.
We initiated the indoor sampling at the conclusion of the 48-hr personal air sampling.
Given the multiple dimensions in which dams differ (Poff and Hart 2002) and the relative paucity of long-term dam removal data sets, evaluations and decisions about dam removal in the near future will be based largely on case studies and site assessments rather than on statistical conclusions from a sampled population of previous removals.
The indoor sampling was initiated at the conclusion of the 48-hr personal air sampling.
