the current investigation presents the role of gooseberry (phyllanthus acidus) seeds as an effective biosorbent for remediating chromium (vi)), a toxic heavy metal pollutant commonly found in effluents from tanneries and relevant industries. biosorption was affected by ph, temperature and initial metal concentration. furthermore, there is a need to understand the holistic effect of all variable...

urvival analysis is seldom used in studies of the S of musculoskeletal therapy. Most clinical studies of musculoskeletal therapy use parametric statistical methods such as analysis of variance (ANOVA) to illustrate the effects of treatment on outcomes. Nonparametric techniques of analysis such as survival analysis are less frequently used. Survival analysis has a number of advantages that make ...

Two major X-ray satellites, AXAF & XMM, will be launched in 1998/1999. Both satellites have spectral and imaging capabilities, and are several times more sensitive than either ROSAT or ASCA. AXAF & XMM will yield significant scientific returns in many fields of astrophysics. We concentrate here on how AXAF & XMM will improve constraints on the density parameter, Ω0, via measurements of the clus...

Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, School of Allied Health Sciences, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Lubbock, TX Address all correspondence and requests for reprints to: Steven F. Sawyer, PT, PhD, [email protected] Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a statistical tool used to detect differences between experimental group means. ANOVA is warranted in experimental designs wi...

The statistical technique of analysis of variance is often used by biologists as a measure of the relative strength or importance of causal factors. I argue that it is a tool ill-suited to this purpose, on several grounds. I suggest a superior alternative and outline its implications. I finish with a diagnosis of the source of error-an unwitting inheritance of bad philosophy that now requires t...

This study tries to investigate the difference in usage of sources of information by the consumers for FMCG products when they are segregated into homogeneous groups.  Mean value is calculated for each group which is ranked to identify the source of information more often used by each group. Further on, the one-way ANOVA (F-test) is performed on score values provided by the respondents to find ...
