One-sample and two-sample t-tests are commonly used in analyzing data from clinical trials in comparing mean responses from two drug products. During the planning stage of a clinical study, a crucial step is the sample size calculation, i.e., the determination of the number of subjects (patients) needed to achieve a desired power (e.g., 80%) for detecting a clinically meaningful difference in t...

the aim of this research is to develop a silica gel and alumina column chromatography for separation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) into two groups. this is achieved by optimizing the cut-off volume of eluting solvent and weight ratio of silica gel and alumina. in this process mixture of pahs and pcbs divide in two groups and simultaneously other...

Background and aim: Shortening of the duration of wound healing is an attractive subject for investigators in recent years. In this study, the effects of topical phenytoin, silver sulfadiazine, estrogen and their combination on wound healing were evaluated.Materials and Methods: This experimental study was accomplised on 30 male albino rats, which had an approximate wei...

Forecast combination algorithms provide a robust solution to noisy data and shifting process dynamics. However in practice, sophisticated combination methods often fail to consistently outperform the simple mean combination. This “forecast combination puzzle” limits the adoption of alternative combination approaches and forecasting algorithms by policy-makers. Through an adaptive machine learni...

Social cognition, including emotion processing, is a recognised deficit observed in patients with schizophrenia. It is one cognitive domain which has been emphasised as requiring further investigation, with the efficacy of antipsychotic treatment on this deficit remaining unclear. Nine studies met our criteria for entry into a meta-analysis of the effects of medication on facial affect processi...

The full annealing AA6061 aluminum alloy was subjected to severe plastic deformationvia the combination of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) and cold rolling (CR) in order torefine its microstructure and to improve its mechanical properties. According to the results of hotand cold tensile tests, the combination of ECAP and CR significantly affected the final strengthand ductility of studied...
