by Ararso Gognsha Desta, Berhanu Hiruy Yeshitila

Sorghum is a staple crop grown in the poorest and most food-insecure regions of Ethiopia. But storage insect pests are its key constraints that have been causing considerable loss. Accordingly, an assessment of the prevalence of insect pests and the associated loss of sorghum stored under farmers’ traditional storages was done in randomly selected major sorghum-growing kebeles of Kena District using a nested design between November 1, 2019 and December 30, 2020.

Comparing the variances of several treatments with that of a control treatment: Theory and applications

Plos.org 

by Jingsen Kong, Hezhi Lu

A common and important problem in medicine, economics and environmental studies is the comparison of the variances of several treatments with that of a control treatment. Among the existing methods, Spurrier’s optimal test based on multivariate F distribution has exact type I error rates. However, it requires equal sample sizes among the treatment groups. To extend the application scope, in this paper, we propose a new efficient test for comparing several variances... Читать дальше...

Testing biasedness of self-reported microbusiness innovation in the annual business survey

Plos.org 

by Luyi Han, Zheng Tian, Timothy R. Wojan, Stephan J. Goetz

This study tests for potential bias in self-reported innovation due to the inclusion of a research and development (R&D) module that only microbusinesses (less than 10 employees) receive in the Annual Business Survey (ABS). Previous research found that respondents to combined innovation/R&D surveys reported innovation at lower rates than respondents to innovation-only surveys. A regression discontinuity design is used to test whether microbusinesses... Читать дальше...

by Lina Ma, Zhijie Tao, Qiang Wei

The rapid growth of on-demand ride service platforms has made it increasingly important for these platforms to efficiently match services by understanding driver characteristics and consumer preferences. This paper aims to investigate the pricing strategy by considering the impact of consumer preference heterogeneity and the different service types offered by drivers. The findings of this study reveal the need for the platform to strike a balance between... Читать дальше...

Predicting radiographic outcomes of vertebral body tethering in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients using machine learning

Plos.org 

by Ausilah Alfraihat, Amer F. Samdani, Sriram Balasubramanian

Anterior Vertebral Body Tethering (AVBT) is a growing alternative treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), offering an option besides spinal fusion. While AVBT aims to correct spinal deformity through growth correction, its outcomes have been mixed. To improve surgical outcomes, this study aimed to develop a machine learning-based tool to predict short- and midterm spinal curve correction in AIS patients who underwent AVBT surgery...

Load balance -aware dynamic cloud-edge-end collaborative offloading strategy

Plos.org 

by Yueqi Fan

Cloud-edge-end (CEE) computing is a hybrid computing paradigm that converges the principles of edge and cloud computing. In the design of CEE systems, a crucial challenge is to develop efficient offloading strategies to achieve the collaboration of edge and cloud offloading. Although CEE offloading problems have been widely studied under various backgrounds and methodologies, load balance, which is an indispensable scheme in CEE systems to ensure the full utilization of edge resources...

Mapping clinical interactions in an Australian tertiary hospital emergency department for patients presenting with risk of suicide or self-harm: Network modeling from observational data

Plos.org 

by Michael H. McCullough, Michael Small, Binu Jayawardena, Sean Hood

Background

Reliable assessment of suicide and self-harm risk in emergency medicine is critical for effective intervention and treatment of patients affected by mental health disorders. Teams of clinicians face the challenge of rapidly integrating medical history, wide-ranging psychosocial factors, and real-time patient observations to inform diagnosis, treatment, and referral decisions. Patient outcomes therefore depend... Читать дальше...
