The size effect in concrete structures
In the present paper the results of a size effect study on plain concrete unnotched and notched beams loaded in three-point bending are shown and compared with experimental results and Bazant's size effect law. The numerical results, obtained using the nonlocal microplane finite element code, confirm a strong size effect for smaller beam sizes. However,

The Effect Size in Uncertainty Analysis
In model-based health economic evaluation, uncertainty analysis is often done using parametric bootstrapping. This requires specifying probability distributions for the model variables that are uncertain.The effect size of the intervention is often expressed as a relative risk, and the standard assumption for a relative risk is that it has a lognormal ...
