Extreme Events Analysis Using LH-Moments Method and Quantile Function Family
Hydrology, 2023 A direct way to estimate the likelihood and magnitude of extreme events is frequency analysis. This analysis is based on historical data and assumptions of stationarity, and is carried out with the help of probability distributions and different methods ...

Health Literacy, Self‐Efficacy and Knowledge of Sickle Cell Disease Among Caregivers
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder in which abnormal haemoglobin leads to severe anaemia, painful crises and organ failure. Caregivers’ health literacy (HL) – their ability to assess, understand and apply information, and interact with healthcare professionals – is crucial for managing children with SCD, yet ...

Flood frequency analysis using method of moments and L-moments of probability distributions
Cogent Engineering, 2015 Estimation of maximum flood discharge (MFD) at a desired location on a river is important for planning, design and management of hydraulic structures. This can be achieved using deterministic models with extreme storm events or through frequency analysis

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer in Mexico, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most frequent subtype. Exposure to high concentrations of benzene has been associated with ALL incidence, particularly in urban areas. This study evaluated the relationship between distance to benzene emission sources and the number

TL-Moments: Analogy of Classical L-Moments [PDF]
International Scientific Conference, 2014 Moments and cumulants are commonly used to characterize the probability distribution or observed data set. The use of the moment method of parameter estimation is also common in the construction of an appropriate parametric distribution for a certain data set. The moment method does not always produce satisfactory results.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Adolescents with haematological malignancies face significant emotional and relational challenges, often accompanied by difficulties in communicating their needs within the healthcare context. To address these issues, a narrative‐based psycho‐educational intervention based on the creation and prescription of Ironic Medications was ...

Re‐Irradiation in Pediatric Diffuse Midline Glioma: A Multi‐Institutional Retrospective Study
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Children with recurrent diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) have limited therapeutic options at recurrence. Re‐irradiation (RT2) may be used at progression, but with uncertainty about the benefit. Methods We conducted a multi‐institutional retrospective study of children aged < 18 with DMG treated at three centers (Toronto, Canada ...
