Evaluation of integrated threshing and drying design concepts for paddy rice using analytical hierarchy process

International Journal of Agricultural Research, Innovation and Technology
Threshing and drying are two major postharvest activities that contribute significantly to postharvest losses for small and medium-scale rice farmers, leading to food insecurity and hunger in Sub-Saharan Africa.

A consistency evaluation of signal-to-noise ratio in the quality assessment of human brain magnetic resonance images

BMC Medical Imaging, 2018
Background Quality assessment of medical images is highly related to the quality assurance, image interpretation and decision making. As to magnetic resonance (MR) images, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is routinely used as a quality indicator, while little

Estimation of Impedance Ratio Parameters for Consistent Modeling of Tap-Changing Transformers

IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 2021
Recent contributions have shown that two widely used formulations of the tap-changing transformer model are controversial, as they generate dissimilar results depending on the selected tap and operating point. In recent works, the authors proposed a new model and demonstrated its consistency to reconcile this debate.

Sustained Therapeutic Efficacy of Intravenous Plasminogen Concentrate in Pediatric Patients With Type 1 Plasminogen Deficiency: An Analysis of Dosing Parameters and Clinical Outcomes

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Type 1 plasminogen deficiency (PLGD‐1) is an ultra‐rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the PLG gene and affects approximately 1.6 individuals per million. The condition is characterized by decreased plasminogen levels and impaired function, resulting in fibrin‐rich lesions on mucous membranes throughout the body.

Integration of the analytic hierarchy process and Monte Carlo feature selection for a spatiotemporal weighting scheme in meteorological drought monitoring

Geocarto International
There is a compelling need to integrate different drought indices values because these indices utilize various distributions for computation, resulting in different outcomes when the underlying distributions change. This inconsistency highlights the need

Rational Use of Herbal Products in Pediatric Patients Treated With Anticancer Drugs in the European Union

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The use of herbal medical preparation (HMP) is rising among pediatric oncology patients, often to manage treatment‐related symptoms. Their effectiveness remains uncertain, and the risk of herb–drug interactions is underestimated.

Interrelations among grain quality characters in rice [PDF]

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2011
An experiment was conducted with five CMS lines and ten restorer lines to estimate the interrelationships among the grain quality parameters. Amylose content, gel consistency, water uptake, alkali value and L/B ratio recorded non significant correlation ...

Evaluating the cyclic ratio schedule as an assay of feeding behaviour in the European starling (Sturnus vulgaris). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The cyclic ratio (CR) schedule is a behavioural assay developed to study feeding in rats, in which the number of operant responses required to obtain food reward (the ratio requirement) increases and then decreases in a repeating cycle. In a recent study,

Improved Early Referral in Long‐Term Survivor Care With Institutional Standardized Practice Among Childhood Leukemia Survivors#

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2018, the Texas Children's Cancer and Hematology Center Leukemia Program implemented a practice standard to support the transition from treatment to survivorship that includes shared, alternating care between leukemia and survivorship clinicians and a reminder to refer survivors to the long‐term survivor clinic (LTSC) 2 years after ...
