Various methods are available to determine optimal cutpoints for diagnostic measures. Unfortunately, many authors fail to report the precision at which these optimal cutpoints are being estimated and use sample sizes that are not suitable to achieve an adequate precision. The aim of the present study is to evaluate methods to estimate the variance of cutpoint estimations based on published descriptive statistics (‘post-hoc’) and to discuss sample size planning for estimating cutpoints.

Scenario models of a moving subway train can help investigate the influence of different fire locations on smoke propagation characteristics in curved tunnels. To this end, this study adopts the three-dimensional Unsteady Reynolds Average Navier-Stokes equations method and the renormalization group k-ε two-equation turbulence model with buoyancy correction for numerical analysis. The motion of the train is replicated using the slip grid technique. Читать дальше...

The present study aimed at investigating associations of both ideological attitudes and personal value types with the personality traits derived from the Affective Neuroscience Theory (ANT). For that, data of N = 626 (n = 403 men, n = 220 women, n = 3 identifying as neither a man nor a woman) participants of an online survey in the German language were analyzed. Relations of primary emotional traits derived from the ANT with Right-Wing Authoritarianism (RWA)... Читать дальше...

Although cellulose derivatives are widely applied in high-tech materials, the relation between their force responses and their surface chemical properties in a biological environment as a function of pH is unknown. Here, interaction forces of surface modified cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), lignin residual cellulose nanocrystals (LCNCs), and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)-oxidized cellulose nanofibres (TCNFs) with OSO3−, COO− and lignin chemical...

The germination rate of rice grain is recognized as one of the most significant indicators of seed quality assessment. Currently, grain germination rate is generally determined manually by experienced researchers, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In this paper, a new method is proposed for counting the number of grains and germinated grains. In the coarse segmentation process, the k-means clustering algorithm is applied to obtain rough grain-connected regions. Читать дальше...

Invasive paper wasps such as Polistes dominula are a major pest and problem for biodiversity around the globe. Safe and highly targeted methods for the control of these and other social wasp populations are needed. We attempted to identify potentially-lethal gene targets that could be used on adult paper wasps in a gene silencing or RNA interference (RNAi) approach. Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) was designed to target genes... Читать дальше...

BackgroundOpinions on the optimal age for surgical management of hydroceles in young boys are not uniform. Scrotal ultrasonography can be used to diagnose hydroceles and measure testicular size. A comparison of bilateral testicular size with hydrocele and the change in trend with age has not been reported. We therefore aimed to analyze the bilateral testicular size of children with unilateral non-communicating hydroceles and examine the correlation between age and testicular volume. Читать дальше...

Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a chronic and fatal infectious parasitic disease, which has not been well-researched. Current recommended therapies for AE by the World Health Organization include complete removal of the infected tissue followed by two years of albendazole (ABZ), administered orally, which is the only effective first-line anti-AE drug. Unfortunately, in most cases, complete resection of AE lesions is impossible... Читать дальше...
