The Staircase Design: Theory

The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1958
One of the most popular designs in experimental work is the randomized block. These designs can be put into three broad classes viz. complete block design, balanced incomplete block design, and the partially balanced incomplete block design. These designs are all special cases of the general two way classification with unequal numbers in the subclasses,

Do consumers and healthcare professionals report the same adverse event differently? A paired analysis of duplicate vaccine safety reports in Norway

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim This study aimed to compare how Norwegian healthcare professionals (HCPs) and consumers reported the same adverse event (AE) following immunization with vaccines against COVID‐19 during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Specifically, we aimed to compare the extent to which HCPs and consumers reported information relevant for assessing the causal relationship ...

Nudging ESG Investments via Digital Financial Advising: Evidence From an Investment Game Experiment

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The influence of financial advisors on retail investors' sustainable investment choices remains surprisingly underexplored, despite their potential to shape investment behavior. This study uses an experimental design to examine how sustainability‐related information provided by a digital (simulated) financial advisor affects individual demand ...

Fully Reversible Regulation of 8‐17 DNAzyme Activity Using Nucleoside‐Based Diarylethenes

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The site‐specific incorporation of nucleosidic diarylethenes into the 8–17 deoxyribozyme (DNAzyme) identified position 2.1 as optimal. Compound dU‐PhtBu enabled efficient light‐dependent control of catalytic activity, while maintaining thermal stability and reversibility.

Seismic Response of Existing Masonry‐Infilled RC Frame Structures Retrofitted with Steel Exoskeletons

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Considering the needs for reducing carbon emissions and except for extreme cases of very degraded existing structures, research on technologies allowing continued use or upgrading of older buildings has become a priority topic. Generally, research on upgrading of reinforced concrete frame structures certainly has a prominent role, because of ...

An Environment Recognition Algorithm for Staircase Climbing Robots

Remote Sensing
For deformed wheel-based staircase-climbing robots, the accuracy of staircase step geometry perception and scene mapping are critical factors in determining whether the robot can successfully ascend the stairs and continue its task.

Graph Neural Network‐Based Prediction of Building Energy Consumption

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
A graph neural network that encodes a multi‐zone building as a graph accurately predicts hourly cooling and heating loads across three distinct climates, outperforming Random Forest and XGBoost baselines and serving as a fast surrogate to EnergyPlus simulations for scalable building energy management.

Experimental and Finite Element Analysis on the Structural Performance of Lightweight Hollow Slab Prefabricated Staircases

Buildings
Prefabricated staircases are crucial components in modern architectural structures, but traditional concrete staircases are too heavy for efficient prefabrication, transportation, and construction.

Exposure of Healthy Individuals to Pleasant Odours During Sleep: Effects on Odour Identification and Sleep Quality

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.
Sleeping with pleasant odours was associated with improved cued odour identification, particularly in the sandalwood group. Subjective night‐time awakenings showed a descriptive decrease. EEG data did not reveal robust changes in sleep architecture, though exploratory analyses suggested potential benefits for individuals with poorer baseline sleep ...
