hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection is the 10th leading cause of death worldwide. the most important diagnostic and screening marker for hbv infection is hepatitis b surface antigen (hbsag), and the most widely used hbsag screening test is enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). in this study, an elisa assay has been developed for detection of hbsag using two novel monoclonal antibodies (mab) ...

UNLABELLED Assessment of small-animal cardiac data acquired using SPECT requires an accurate understanding of the reproducibility and the uncertainties associated with the technique. Furthermore, it is also useful to have a baseline of reference data against which to compare the outcome of a particular study. METHODS We scanned both healthy and post-myocardial infarction rats injected with (9...

Reproducibility is a confused terminology. In this paper, I take fundamental view on reproducibility rooted in the scientific method. The method analysed and characterised order to develop terminology required define reproducibility. Further, literature replication surveyed, experiments are modeled as tasks problem solving methods. Machine learning used exemplify described approach. Based analy...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate a variety of reproducibility indices for cognitive functional MR imaging (fMRI) paradigms that account for both overlapping and extraneous regions of activation. METHODS Eight right-handed volunteers were imaged with fMRI by using a word-generation paradigm and a forward-backward text-listening paradigm. The paradigms were perfo...

Reproducibility of economic research has attracted considerable attention in recent years. So far, the discussion has focused on reproducibility of empirical analyses. This paper addresses a further aspect of reproducibility, the reproducibility of computational experiments. We examine the current situation in econometrics and derive a set of guidelines from our findings. To illustrate how comp...

Reproducibility is a crucial property of data since it allows users to understand and verify how data was derived, and therefore allows them to put their trust in such data. Reproducibility is essential for science, because the reproducibility of experimental results is a tenet of the scientific method, but reproducibility is also beneficial in many other fields, including automated decision ma...

background: several instruments have so far been developed in english language to measure the level of work-family conflict and further validation is required for non-english speakers. objective: to test factorial structure and construct validity of the persian version of work-family conflict scale among iranian nurse. methods: this study was conducted among 456 iranian nurses working at public...
