This statistical primer presents the landmark analysis method, exploring its appropriate use and interpretation while recognizing its limitations. This observational method is used for comparing time-to-event outcome between groups determined during study follow-up. The goal of the landmark method is to estimate in an unbiased way the time-to-event probabilities in each group conditional on the...

Pressure-induced oligomerization was found from high-pressure experiments at 25 °C on alanine powder soaked in its saturated aqueous solution. The oligomerization to alanylalanine occurred at 5 GPa. The maximum yields of alanylalanine and trialanine were, respectively, 1.1 × 10(-3) and 1.3 × 10(-4) at 11 GPa.

demand for water resources in different parts of the world, necessitate the use of wastewater. in using wastewater the soil health must be considered. this study was carried out at green space zob ahan in the years 1382 to 1385. in this study, the effects of urban and industrial wastewater irrigation on some chemical properties of soil for three years by using five different irrigation treatmen...

We report improvements in the scanning speed and standoff range of an ultra-wide bandwidth terahertz (THz) imaging radar for person-borne concealed object detection. Fast beam scanning of the single-transceiver radar is accomplished by rapidly deflecting a flat, light-weight subreflector in a confocal Gregorian optical geometry. With RF back-end improvements also implemented, the radar imaging ...

A co-ordinated empirical European work (Project REPRESENTATION, MM 1045) has been led in six countries, with the aim of getting an insight of pupils’representations regarding ICT. A common protocol was defined. According to it, the pupils of one classroom in each country (fourth and fifth graders) were asked to draw a computer, to label its parts and to write short texts about computer uses. Re...
