Ascertainment of secondary cases in Scotland, which appeared to have a greater role in our study than may have been commonly assumed previously, may however be particularly affected by artifactual influences, such as more assiduous contact tracing resulting from heightened awareness, perhaps triggered by a combination of large outbreaks, a national task force, and enhanced surveillance (7, 8 ).
In addition, homogeneous environments and parallel sensing have been commonly assumed in the literature, which would not be very realistic.
However, in the aforementioned works, the network-induced delays have been commonly assumed to be deterministic, which is fairly unrealistic since delays resulting from network transmissions are typically time varying.
It has commonly been assumed that pterosaurs and birds would take off in a similar way (e.g. [6], [17] [20]) suggesting that pterosaurs leapt into the air with flapping wings or ran for a short duration to achieve the speeds necessary for flight.
In particular, CL constructs have been developed to attach fluorescent labels, and it has been commonly assumed that such motors exhibit WT behavior, based on the similarity of their velocities measured under unloaded conditions (Rice et al., 1999).
The researchers also wrote that the "ties back to the Santa Cruz Islands may imply that Tonga was initially settled by voyagers traveling directly from central Melanesia, rather than through intermediate settlements in Fiji, as has commonly been assumed".
A green density for wood of 1000 kg m-3 irrespective of species and age has commonly been assumed by researchers (e.g. Pellerin and Ross 2002).
Since its launch in the UK, CPI has usually risen more slowly than RPI and it has commonly been assumed that the absence of most housing costs from CPI was the reason for this.
