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

Deep Sequencing of FLT3‐ITD Enables Response Evaluation and Post‐Treatment Monitoring in Childhood AML: An Exploratory Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background An internal tandem duplication in the gene encoding Fms‐like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3‐ITD) is associated with high relapse risk and poor prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and plays a crucial role in treatment decisions. Measurable residual disease (MRD) analysis of FLT3‐ITD during and after treatment has shown prognostic ...

Axiomatization of ratio equilibria in public good economies [PDF]

, 2001
Using consistency properties, we characterize the cost-sharing scheme arising from the ratio equilibrium concept for economies with public goods. The characterization turns out to be surprisingly simple and direct.

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

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 ...

Heterogeneity in the Global Practice of Central Nervous System Staging in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Central nervous system (CNS) involvement in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is assessed by cell counting and cytomorphology from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and is used for treatment stratification worldwide. The ratio of “CNS2” patients in clinical trials ranges from 3% to 40%, with unclear prognostic significance ...

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,
