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

"…Diaz found that the performance of the bivariate model deteriorates when between-study heterogeneity increases and the number of studies decrease.5 Our simulation studies found similar results—with moderate levels of heterogeneity (tau2 = 1), the coverage probabilities of Se, Sp, and the diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) with the bivariate model dropped below the nominal level.6 Diagnostic accuracy studies usually favor sensitivity over specificity, or vice versa leading to diagnostic 2 × 2 tables with one or more of the cells with low frequency or zero counts. …"

Influence of nitrogen doping on the electrocatalytic activity of Ni-incorporated carbon nanofibers toward urea oxidation حسب Barakat, Nasser A.M.

"…However, the electrochemical measurements indicated that the content of the urea in the initial electrospun solution should be optimized as the results showed that the best nickel surface activation as well as the maximum observed current density can be achieved when the urea content is kept at 5 wt%. Typically, the observed current densities using 1.0 M urea (in 1 M KOH) were 3.15, 29.7, 13.75, 47.55, 14.13 and 9.85 mA/cm2 for the nanofibers obtained from electrospun solutions having 0, 1, 2, 5, 7 and 9 wt% urea, respectively. …"

Concrete Pavement Truck Equivalence Factors For Upgrades حسب Razouki, Sabah Said

"…Presented in this paper are the upgrade truck equivalence factors for single unit trucks of type, 1.2 and 1.22 which are not covered by AASHTO. The equivalency factors for front and rear axles of single unit trucks were developed using AASHO Road Test equation after considering the decrease in front axle load and the increase in rear axle load due to the axle load redistribution on upgrades. …"

Tailoring of the thermal, mechanical and dielectric properties of the polypropylene foams using gamma-irradiation حسب Mrl�k, Miroslav

"…Investigated mechanical properties in case of tensile tests as well as dynamical mechanical analysis proved, that enhanced behaviour was observed only in case of samples with irradiated by low doses, 1 kGy and 5 kGy, respectively, while the higher doses significantly decrease these ones, due to the present scission confirmed by FTIR and other investigations. …"
