Global age-sex-specific mortality, life expectancy, and population estimates in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1950–2021, and the impact of the COVID-... by Schumacher, Austin E.

“…Uncertainty intervals (UIs) were calculated for every metric using the 25th and 975th ordered values from a 1000-draw posterior distribution. Findings: Global all-cause mortality followed two distinct patterns over the study period: age-standardised mortality rates declined between 1950 and 2019 (a 62·8% [95% UI 60·5–65·1] decline), and increased during the COVID-19 pandemic period (2020–21; 5·1% [0·9–9·6] increase). …”

Changes in carbohydrate and nitrogen fractions during germination of fenugreek (Trigonellafoenum-graecum L.) seeds presoaked in GA3, growing under different osmotic potentials by Al Hadi, F.A.

“…The response of total nitrogen was variable; it increased considerably in -0.1 and -0.3 MPa osmotic potential, then dropped sharply at -0.5 and -0.8 MPa. Similar behavior was found in TSN(Total Soluble Nitrogen), whereas protein-N changed only slightly and proline was accumulated substantially by decreasing the osmotic potential of the seed media. …”

Influence of Fines on the Compressibility of Surface Sands in Kuwait by Al-Abdulmuhsen, Shaikhah A. N.

“…Moreover, with increasing fines, the compressibility increased as demonstrated by the larger values of Cc at all degrees of relative compaction except at 100% and that the coefficient of consolidation Cv decreased with increasing fines, which means that as the fines increase the time required to achieve a certain degree of consolidation will also increase.…”

Preliminary Observations On The Relative Growth And Production Of Tilapia Species Cultured In Cages At Three Stocking Densities by Al Zahaby, A. S. [الاحمدي الذهبي]

“…Results indicated that the individual growth rate of both species decreased with increased stocking densities with a best aggregate stocking rate of 200 fish/m3 for both species.The maximum production rates of 32.0 and 17.4 kg/m^six months and final average size of 178.7 and 108.7 gm/fish were recorded for T.nilotica and T. galilaea respectively.The range of food conversion ratios for T. nilotica were between 2.83 and 3.57 while for T. galilaea were 3.88 and 5.20 with efficiency decreasing with increasing stocking density. …”

Overconfident results with the bivariate random effects model for meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy studies by Furuya-Kanamori, Luis

“…In 2001, Rutter and Gatsonis proposed the hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic (HSROC) model,1 and in 2004 Macaskill described an empirical Bayes approach.2 Soon after, in 2005, Reitsma et al. proposed the bivariate random effects model,3 which has been widely adopted and is the most commonly used method for diagnostic meta-analysis.4 However, as pointed out by Diaz,5 the statistical performance of the bivariate model has not been scrutinized. …”
