We combined this data with alternative and complementary secondary bank data in order to control and mitigate confounding effects of the size, type, and age of the ventures; their capital need; and the educational level of the entrepreneur and employees.
Of the three methods tested, only full SMA showed promising capability for mitigating the confounding effects of interannual climatic variations on monitoring the woodland recovery process.
Compliance was not measured completely in this cohort which could have mitigated any confounding effects of VT.
Regions identified as likely recombination events (Table 2, Additional file 1) were subsequently removed from the alignment to mitigate the confounding effects of recombination on other analyses.
This additional Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) step mitigates the confounding effects of cellular heterogeneity due to subpopulations that do not initiate the differentiation program (i.e. CD11b- cells).
In order to mitigate the confounding effects from individual patients on statistical analysis of Panagen leukostimulatory activity (as assayed by cell counts in peripheral blood, by timing and magnitude of cell proliferation), the patients were grouped into Panagen-responders and non-responders.
We agree with these arguments and we tried to mitigate confounding factors by performing a careful experiment in which we tried to use an appropriate assessment criterion.
Studies of MZ twins, however, help to mitigate confounding factors associated with genetic polymorphisms in studies of unrelated human subjects.
To mitigate the confounding effect of adaptive race, we used R → A ← L and C ← L populations preadapted to the cooperative environment.
The experimental system presented here mitigated the potentially confounding effects of endodormancy and the influence of light.
Briefly, the donors thoroughly rinsed their mouths with water prior to sample collection, which was done at the same time in all cases (early afternoon) to mitigate the possible confounding effects of diurnal variation on salivary composition [ 46].
