To determine the correlation between the bone mineral density (BMD) and spinal mobility and chest expansion index in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Eighty patients with confirmed diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis were included in this study. In all of them physical examination was performed including assessment of spinal mobility and chest expansion index. Bone mineral density of the l...

Çalışma hemşirelik öğrencilerinin sağlık algılarını belirlemek amacıyla tanımlayıcı türde yapılmıştır. 198 öğrencisi ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada veriler literatüre dayalı olarak hazırlanan Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve Sağlık Algısı Ölçeği toplanmıştır. İstatistiksel analizlerde t-testi OneWay ANOVA testleri kullanılmış p

The benthos of Lake Creek, Lincoln County, Montana were sampled in 1984-85 to determine the effects of a 2.5 years old tailings impoundment located adjacent to the stream. Sampling results were compared spatially in the 1984-85 data set, and temporally with a baseline data set collected three years prior to installation of the impoundment. Lack of replication in the baseline sampling design pre...

OBJECTIVE Pre-operative predictive factors of progression-free survival (PFS) and tumor recurrence after initial surgery are important in counseling patients and decision making. Though PFS after initial surgery in patients with low grade astrocytomas has been described, little is described about PFS in patients with different tumor grades. Our objective was to investigate potential predictive ...

This survey study identifies the correlations between types of perceived stress, exhaustion, and job satisfaction in a sample of 149 hospital nurses. Data were analyzed using the Pearson's correlation analysis, t-test, oneway ANOVA, and Tukey’s HSD test. Significant positive correlations were found between stress-sensitive perception and exhaustion, and between stressresistant perception and jo...

We determined the elemental profile of 16 edible mushroom species from the Făget Forest, near Cluj-Napoca, and of 12 species from the Apuseni Mountains. Oneway ANOVA showed no difference in the elemental content of mushrooms when the two regions were compared. Some species accumulated high amounts of trace elements, i.e. Boletus edulis (Ag, S, Zn), Macrolepiota procera (Cu), Lactarius volemus (...

Motivation: In the exploding field of gene expression techniques such as DNA microarrays, there are still few general probabilistic methods for analysis of variance. Linear models and anova are heavily used tools in many other disciplines of scientific research. The usual F -statistic is unsatisfactory for microarray data, which explores many thousand genes in parallel, with few replicates. Res...

This study explores the role of flow and its relationship with other elements of Business Simulation Games (BSGs) used in different MBA course delivery methods, namely online vs. face-to-face (F2F). We collect level of flow and other game behavioral variables from young professionals enrolled in an MBA Technology and Operations Management course. We analyze the data with oneway ANOVA to explore...

Recently, Sakai proposed two methods for determining the topic set size n for a new test collection based on variance estimates from past data: the first method determines the minimum n to ensure high statistical power [22], while the second method determines the minimum n to ensure tight confidence invervals [23]. These methods are based on statistical techniques described by Nagata [15]. Whil...
