objective(s): reliability measures precision or the extent to which test results can be replicated. this is the first ever systematic review to identify statistical methods used to measure reliability of equipment measuring continuous variables. this studyalso aims to highlight the inappropriate statistical method used in the reliability analysis and its implication in the medical practice.   m...

chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) is a native crop of asia which is grown worldwide including iran.in this study,different selection criteria including correlation,regression and path analysis were used to improve yield.the experimental design was split plot with rcbd replicated four times in which three sowing dates (5 january,4 february,and 5 march) were used in main plots and four genotypes;two ...

This paper proposes an efficient spectrum sensing scheme for OFDM signal transmitted by the primary user with its Cyclic Prefix Correlation Coefficient (CPCC) based on multi-antenna. Inspired by the Maximum-minimum Eigenvalue Detection (MMED) algorithm, a CPCC-based MMED spectrum sensing algorithm is proposed. This algorithm uses inherent property of Cyclic Prefix (CP) resulting in nonzero corr...

Porcine liver uricase immobilized on alkylamine glass (pore diameter 55 nm) through glutaraldehyde coupling has been found useful in the determination of uri c acid in urine. The minimum detec.tion limit was 12.0 J.lg/0.1 ml sample and the recovery of added uric acid was 91 %. The coefficient of vari ation (CV) were <6.0% and <2.0% for within and between batch assay respectively. A good correla...

Isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae from 256 patients contracting acute gonococcal urethritis, primarily in the Republic of the Phillipine Islands, in 1971, were tested for the minimum inhibitory concentrations of five antibodies. The median is advocated as a measurement for comparison of ranges of MIC values; the median MIC of penicillin for 258 isolates was 0-23 mug/ml. A positive correlation c...
