Threats to external validity compromise the confidence in asserting that the results of the study can be generalized to and between individuals, settings, and under the temporal perspective.
This might lead to problems caused by the subjective nature of the process and due to the influence of external factors which compromise the quality of the assessment.
New problems, in turn, correspond to internal or external failures which compromise the durability of the system and for which a troubleshooting solution has not been built into the original design.
It is generally accepted that the measures usually taken to increase internal validity may compromise external validity/generalizability [ 51, 69, 70], simply because they restrict the range of conditions under which the relationship between dependent and independent variables is being tested.
These external loads can compromise the fidelity of chromosome segregation, as it has been observed that buckling of the spindle followed by its breakage is a common failure mode for cells that have defects in chromosome condensation, the nuclear envelope or in the organisation of spindle microtubules (Courtheoux et al., 2009; Khmelinskii et al., 2009; Yam et al., 2011; Petrova et al., 2013).
as part of many external funding schemes compromised the ability of CBOs to maintain or scale up testing programs.
External validity is compromised by low fidelity by not being able to draw conclusions about the generalisability of factors found to be responsible for any effects.
The first stage of the attack was to compromise the external server running a company's website.
The use of the Steinmann pin instead of an external fixator was a compromise to avoid transfer of the seriously ill patient to the operating room.
Being as external attackers that cannot compromise legitimate nodes or their cryptographic keys, the wormhole attackers cannot acquire the content, for example, the type of the sniffed packets.
