Use of Electrical Resistivity Tomography to Study the Impact of Long-Term Application of Sewage Sludge: Case Study of Oued Souhil Experimental Station, Nabeul (Tunisia) by Hechmi, Sarra

“…Laboratory analyses were conducted on soil samples taken in the middle of the treated plots at four depths (0–20 cm), (20–40 cm), and (40–60 cm) for a comparison with the ERT survey result. ERT panels showed a general decrease in soil resistivity below (40 cm) with extremely low resistivity in each plot’s corner, indicating a vertical leaching and a lateral migration of conductive materials in all the treatments. …”

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. …”
