Reliability, Validity, and Feasibility of the Frail-VIG Index [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021 The study aimed to assess the reliability of the scores, evidence of validity, and feasibility of the Frail-VIG index. A validation study mixing hospitalized and community-dwelling older people was designed. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess the inter-rater agreement and the reliability. The construct validity of the Frail-VIG

Robust and reliability-based design optimization of steel beams [PDF]
Archives of Civil Engineering, 2023 In line with the principles of modern design a building structure should not only be safe but also optimized. In deterministic optimization, the uncertainties of the structures are not explicitly taken into account.

Improving the Reliability of the Reliable Change Index
International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2023 The Reliable Change Index quantifies the number of individuals who change beyond that expected by chance (e.g., in an intervention). It is an idiographic approach widely used in studies evaluating change and complements traditional nomothetic analyses. Moreover, it is central to evaluating the clinical significance of intervention outcomes.

Damage-reliability approach for fatigue crack propagation in MDPE gas pipe
International Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2023 Fatigue crack propagation tests are carried out on arc-shaped specimens prepared from MDPE gas pipes. Damage zone characterization is achieved using the diamond wafer sectioning technique from partially propagated and prematurely arrested cracks.
