Controlling for the multiplicity effect is an essential part of determining statistical significance in large-scale single-locus association genome scans on Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs). Bonferroni adjustment is a commonly used approach due to its simplicity, but is conservative and has low power for large-scale tests. The permutation test, which is a powerful and popular tool, is com...

BACKGROUND Surgical-site infections due to intraoperative contamination are chiefly ascribable to airborne particles carrying microorganisms. The purpose of this study is to identify the actions that increase the number of airborne particles in the operating room. METHODS Two surgeons and two surgical nurses performed three patterns of physical movements to mimic intraoperative actions, such ...

Many distribution functions, can be explored in numerous dimensions with their extended form. In this paper an form of exponential is studied by the quadratic rank transmutation map, called three parameter transmuted distribution, where base two parameters \(\theta\) > 0 and \(\beta\) , shape location respectively. Some statistical properties have been for said including moments, quantile fu...

We introduce a four-parameter model called the Weibull Nadarajah-Haghighi distribution. It is obtained by inserting distribution in Weibull-G family. The proposed can produce constant, increasing, decreasing, bathtub, and upside down-bathtub hazard rate shapes, which are most important lifetime analysis. explore some structural properties, including quantile function, ordinary incomplete moment...

Stability of athletic performance is important for practitioners and coaches, since it allows the selection of appropriate training methods and prediction of ages for best results. We performed a longitudinal study of 1694 season-best performances of 242 elite-standard swimmers throughout their careers, from 12 to 18 years of age. Mean stability (descriptive statistics and one-way repeated-meas...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between critical thinking and the use of concept mapping (CM) and problem-based learning (PBL) during care plan development. METHOD A quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design was conducted using a convenience sample (n = 49) of first-semester undergraduate baccalaureate nursing students. Critical thinking was ...
