Awareness of this fact when preparing the study methodology, as well as being explicit about it, when presenting the study results, need to be stressed, as it is a precondition for valid and reliable study results [ 34, 47- 49].
Taking in consideration the methodology applied to prepare the surfaces and the possibility of having performed esterification and etherification reactions with a limited yield, it is possible that the grafting reaction does not cover the full treated surface.
We then adopted the previous methodology to prepare the corresponding phosphonate 3 b and the primary phosphane 4 b, which also retain generally better quantum yields and molar absorption coefficients (Φ and ɛ and Table 1).
The cross-sections were prepared following the methodology described by Duran and Duran et al. [29, 42] and Khandekar [43].
Slope grid has been prepared following the methodology given by Burrough (1986) which identifies slope as the maximum rate of change between a cell and its neighbors.
The samples were irrigated with 2 ml of a buffered 0.5%% sodium hypochlorite solution prepared using the methodology described by Zehnder (Zehnder et al. 2002) by a conventional delivery method utilizing an irrigation syringe (Becton-Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ) and a side-vented needle (Patterson, Endodontic Irrigation Needles, St . Paul MN); and the PIPS group.
Cellulose nanocrystal film was prepared following the methodology described by Kumagai et al. [ 32].
A WSH was prepared following the methodology described by Ruiz et al. [ 24].
