The saturated permeability coefficient of soil is an inherent variable due to its inhomogeneity and the inaccuracy of monitoring. To explore the stability and failure probability of bedrock laminar slope under heavy rain...

ObjectiveSensory gait ataxia is a core feature of chronic peripheral vestibular disorders, leading to impaired mobility, reduced quality of life, and increased fall risk. Quantitative gait metrics capturing this deficit ...

Based on maintenance data from over 1000 onshore and offshore wind turbines covering more than 4200 operating years, this study presents an analysis of failure rates, repair times, and maintenance resource requirements, ...

OBJECTIVE: This study was planned for the purpose of adapting and determining the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the “Dialysis Symptom Index (DSI)” for Turkish hemodialysis patients. MATERIAL a...

There is a paucity of studies on the reliability of eyewitness reports to aviation crashes. We examine witness statements to a widely observed major airline accident to determine if reported accident investigator distrus...

Abstract The current research of reliability allocation of CNC lathes always treat CNC lathes as independent series systems. However, CNC lathes are complex systems in the actual situation. Failure correlation is rarely ...

Based on recent psychometric developments, this paper presents a conceptual and practical guide for estimating internal consistency reliability of measures obtained as item sum or mean. The internal consistency reliabili...

Abstract Introduction The Emergency Medical Service Benefit Score (EBS) was recently developed from the former Helicopter Benefit Score (HBS) to provide a standardized tool for evaluating the benefits of prehospital inte...

ABSTRACT Virtual reality technologies offer sports performance organisations new possibilities for measuring and enhancing performance. This is particularly the case in cricket where training is significantly constrained...

Na área da suicidologia, Shneidman propôs a Escala de Avaliação de Dor Psicológica - PPAS. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar as propriedades psicométricas da PPAS, em adolescentes da população geral, com e ...

Background and purpose: The clinical utility of radiomics in head-and-neck (H&N) cancer is hindered by poor reliability caused by delineation uncertainties from the use of binary mask (BinMask). This study introduced a f...

ABSTRACT Purpose Ligament tension balance is essential for successful and long‐term implant survival of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Conventional manual tensioning methods are subjective and vary with the surgeon exp...

Over the past few years, there has been growing interest in using online methods for collecting data from large samples. However, only a few studies have administered online behavioral tasks to assess attention outside t...

This benchmark case study introduces recently developed state-of-the-art general purpose multi-modal nonstationary reliability assessment method for marine, offshore, and naval structures, suitable for physically measure...

Sham transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is essential for causal inference but is commonly implemented as ramp-only protocols that may not ensure physiological inertness and may fail to maintain mid-session bl...

Aim: The aim of the present study was to examine the Turkish validity and reliability of the Short Breast Health Perception Questionnaire in women. Method: A total of 400 women who were admitted to the Internal Medicin...

The inherent variability of soil properties has currently received considerable attention in slope reliability analysis. However, the geological uncertainty is often ignored in analysis. This paper proposes a method for ...

Background: The Test of Gross Motor Development-3 (TGMD-3 2019) evaluates fundamental gross motor skills across two domains: locomotor and ball skills. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the test–...

Material reliability is among the crucial factors that impact the performance of devices. In order to predict material reliability, an accelerated ageing study to predict material shelf life when subjected to temperature...

Abstract Background Kawasaki disease (KD) represents the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children, with timely diagnosis and treatment being crucial to prevent severe coronary complications. The widespread use...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims The EORTC QLQ‐STO22 is a widely validated instrument for assessing health‐related quality of life in patients with gastric cancer. Given the high prevalence of gastric cancer and its spec...

Abstract: Psychological capital is a construct that is included in the positive organizational behavior framework, which is based on positive psychology principles. This concept is composed by four dimensions, self-effic...

Abstract Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) is one of the leading enabling technologies of the Internet of Things (IoT) at low cost and high granularity scenarios. The cost of implementing IoT applications concerns th...

IntroductionSmoothing fMRI data prior to analysis is a fundamental and widely used technique to increase sensitivity. Unconstrained smoothing can also reduce the spatial specificity of the analysis by introducing artifac...
