Although this search was not expected to retrieve pharmaceutical obesity RCTs, it provided a sufficiently large sample to yield reasonably precise estimates of DORs as a function of study duration, which was our goal.
But, as the sample was drawn from the register of four of the largest health insurance companies in the country, and as every resident in the Netherlands is by law obliged to be insured, we can assume the sample to be reasonably representative for women giving birth in the Netherlands.
Partial reduction of a graphene oxide sample due to reasonably mild laser exposures during Raman analysis was also observed.
Our estimates of the reproducibility of benzophenone-3, triclosan, 2,4- and 2,5-dichlorophenols, and methyl-, ethyl-, propyl-, and butylparaben urinary concentrations over the course of the pregnancy suggest that more than one urine sample is needed to reasonably represent the individual's exposure across pregnancy to these compounds or their precursors.
iv) For the purposes of external validity, (1) the sample population had to reasonably represent a typical population presenting for diagnosis in clinical practice (e.g. they could not use healthy or asymptomatic controls who had no indications for testing), and (2) the index test needed to provide a threshold for dichotomizing results.
However, decreasing the pH of the sample to pH 5.2 yielded a reasonably well-resolved NMR spectrum.
Only at this high sampling rate it is possible to reasonably study the period of tear film behavior immediately before and after a blink.
Based on the asymptotic pattern of species accumulation in the plots (Supplementary Figure S1), we concluded that the sample was reasonably adequate to describe forest composition; the estimated number of species in the sampled forests is 112-127 using first- and second-order jackknife estimates [59].
Though the housekeeping gene Actin was considered to be constitutively expressed in tissues, due to the nature of the processing of hybridizing samples to Northern blots, one could reasonably assume a possible inconsistency resulting from these two methods.
Still, the current sample was reasonably diverse with regard to most demographic variables, and there is no reason to believe their values would be systematically different from a nationally representative sample.
