The women's choruses are all sung to Mick Sands' lively score, and, even if Harrison's dense text is occasionally obscured, the effect is tremendous.
Initial analyses of these complex data using univariate statistical techniques did not account for interactions among immunological response variables and therefore potentially obscured significant effects between infection state and immunological parameters.
Our study was also limited by lack of information on intrauterine infection, for example, chorioamnionitis, which would be strongly linked to inflammation and potentially oxidative stress markers and could have to some extent obscured real effects.
We were unable to observe any effects on vascular development in freshly germinated P.radiata seedlings because, unlike Arabidopsis, extended periods in liquid medium are not tolerated well by this species (M. West and T. Strabala, unpublished observations), leading to artefacts that obscured any effects on vascular development.
However, DHA was not measured in either the Faroes or the original Seychelles study, so it was not possible to test directly whether its presence in methylmercury-contaminated fish may have obscured adverse effects of the mercury exposure on child development.
If three-quarters or more of the sun is obscured, then an effect can be observed by which the daylight appears to be dim, as if the sky were overcast, yet objects still cast sharp shadows.
In order to reveal the existence of a small and obscured solar cycle effect this study relied upon including all skin cancers for sufficient history and data records.
Frequently obscured by electronic effects and Yorke's unconventional vocal techniques, they're fragmentary by default and design, creating a landscape of horror and alienation through a series of apparently mundane images.
Averaging across II and IR conditions may have obscured predictive memory effects for just associative or non-associative information.
The grouping of samples by experimental condition was partially obscured when batch effects were not considered, illustrating the benefits of this approach (Additional file 2: Figure S2).
