BACKGROUND Debonding is one of the frequent causes of failure experienced in fiber-reinforced composite posts, and establish along post space-dentin adhesive interface. The purpose of this study was to assess push-out bond strength of a fiber-reinforced post system using four different resin cements. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this in-vitro study 40 mandibular premolars were decoronated, and ro...

The misclassification error which is usually used in tests to compare classification algorithms, does not make a distinction between the sources of error, namely, false positives and false negatives. Instead of summing these in a single number, we propose to collect multivariate statistics and use multivariate tests on them. Information retrieval uses the measures of precision and recall, and s...

The purpose of the study is to examine healthy eating habits of the population of Serbia through three dimensions: knowledge, problems, and feelings as well as to determine whether there are any differences between genders and among different age-groups. The research instrument was an Eating Habits Questionnaire (EHQ) which consisted of 35 items. There were 382 respondents involved in the study...

In complex diversity analysis, specially arising in genetics, genomics, ecology and other high-dimensional (and sometimes low sample size) data models, typically subgroup-decomposability (analogous to ANOVA decomposability) arises. In groupdivergence of diversity measures in a high-dimension low sample size scenario, it is shown that Hamming distance-type statistics lead to a general class of q...

I SUMMARY. The object of the present investigation is to propose and study a class I of nonparametric tests for the multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) problem relating to complete two way layouts. In this context, the concept of rank-permuta-I I I .-tions for multidimensional interchangeability is developed, and the same is incorporated in the formulation of a class of genuinely distrib...

The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate the instructional effects of various animation strategies. Three treatment groups involved include static graphic, animation used as an attention-gaining strategy, and animation used as an attention-gaining and elaboration strategy. Participants were 115 college student volunteers. Two-way multiple analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used ...

Background: otoacoustic emissions (OAE) are considered the main instrument of the Newborn Hearing Screening Program (NHSP). Aim: to analyze the OAE of newborns evaluated in the NHSP. Method: transient evoked OAE recordings were captured in 1000 infants. The data were analyzed using the analysis of multivaried variance (Manova). Results: reference tables were calculated for the over all OAE leve...

There is a need for a method to facilitate the development of novel, reproducible colloidal surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates to encourage the use of SERS in applied studies. In this study we show for the first time that by using suitably designed SERS experiments in conjunction with multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), an objective assessment of colloidal SERS reproduc...

We investigated the MMN at electrode Fz to 12% temporally predictable or unpredictable duration decrement deviant stimuli in 29 healthy controls and 31 schizophrenia patients. With a stimulus onset asynchronicity of 500 ms in the regular predictable condition, a deviant occurred every 4 s while it varied randomly in the unpredictable condition. Here we report detailed data tables and multivaria...

Objective: To describe the dynamic self-determination of self-care (DSDoSC) and positive deviance (PD) models in changing stunting prevention behavior. Material Methods: This research is a quasi-experimental study with sample 90 mothers taken by purposive sampling. Thirty were given DSDoSC intervention, 30 PD another control group. was conducted July - October 2019. The variables studied feedin...
