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. …”
