the occurrence of genotype × environment (ge) interaction has led to the development of several stabilityparameters that can be used to estimate the stability of cultivar performance. repeatability of 20 parametric and non-parametric stability measures across years and yield subsets as well as their association with mean seed yield and interrelationship among them in safflower (carthamus tincto...

The study of the hydric regime rainfall helps in management analysis and decision-making hydrographic basins, but a fundamental condition is need for continuous time series data. Therefore, this compared gap filling methods precipitation data validated them using robust statistical techniques. Precipitation from municipality Itirapina, which has four monitoring stations, were used. Four techniq...

BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been going on for more than 2 years, with various treatments and diagnostic methods available. One of the most prized structures, receptor-binding domain (RBD) spike protein in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus long thoroughly researched its function becoming target treatments, including a vaccine. The spike-RBD (sRBD) ant...

BACKGROUND The number of events per individual is a widely reported variable in medical research papers. Such variables are the most common representation of the general variable type called discrete numerical. There is currently no consensus on how to compare and present such variables, and recommendations are lacking. The objective of this paper is to present recommendations for analysis and ...

Abstract Introduction Significant blood loss is associated with a delayed postoperative recovery in joint arthroplasty. Emerging evidence suggests robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty reduces soft-tissue trauma, length of stay, and can facilitate faster recovery. This study compares the total patients undergoing compared to conventional methods. Method Patients (TKA) or unicomparmental (UKA) were...

Xie and Priebe [2002. “Generalizing the Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon Statistic”. J. Nonparametric Statist. 12, 661–682] introduced the class of weighted generalized Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon (WGMWW) statistics which contained as special cases the classical Mann–Whitney test statistic and many other nonparametric distribution-free test statistics commonly used for the two-sample testing problem. The two-sa...

Materials and methods: Medical records of all patients with VKH disease over an 11-year period were retrospectively analyzed. Statistical analysis used: SPSS, non-parametric method, Mann-Whitney test. Results: Twenty-three patients (38 ey...

INTRODUCTION The aim of the present study was to investigate and compare the apical sealing ability of Resilon/Epiphany-filled root canals with those that were obturated with gutta-percha/AH-Plus endodontic sealer. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 60 extracted human single-rooted teeth were selected; 25 teeth for each test group and five for each control group. After conducting conventional e...
