We derive standards for acceptable measurement error when inferring treatment effects from sample means. The standards arise from the amount of measurement accuracy required for sample means to beat a näıve benchmark estimator that randomizes the direction and magnitude of treatment effects. We show that at sample and effect sizes common to many areas of psychology, particularly in human subjec...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of diets containing 0, 100, 200 and 300 mg of carotenoid/kg diet from marigold meal on skin pigmentation, growth, feed utilization and survival of goldfish (Carassius auratus), with average initial weight of 1.8 g for a rearing period of 63 days. The pigmentation degree in skin of goldfish increased significantly with increasing inclusion of mari...

Research in diet, nutrition, and cancer is multidisciplinar)'. As a result there are many factors to consider in the conceptualization and design of experiments that may not be readily apparent to someone entering this field. In this article issues are identified that should be considered in the development of hypotheses about the effects of diet and nutrition on the carcinogenic process and th...

Food consumption of 50 female students in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia was recorded for 7 days. Foods and drinks most frequently consumed were selected for analysis of iron, zinc, copper and lead content. The mean daily intakes of energy, protein, carbohydrate and fat among the students are 6.5±1.4 MJ (1550±335 kcal), 59.8±18.5g, 227.1±54.6 g and 46.0±11.5 g respectively. This diet contribute...

a study was carried out to examine the effect of different levels of herbal methionine and dl-methionine on the growth performance and immunocompetence of broiler chickens fed on a corn-soybean meal diet. a total of 225 old male broiler chickens (ross 308) were used as experimental samples in a completely randomized design. they were randomly assigned to 9 treatments each of 5 replicates in eve...

We describe an inadequate antibody response to rabies vaccine in an immunocompromised patient. A literature search revealed 15 additional immunocompromised patients, of whom 7 did not exhibit the minimum acceptable level of antibodies after a complete postexposure prophylaxis regimen. An international rabies registry is needed to provide a basis for determining appropriate vaccination protocols.

Factors related to the height of the load and the frequency of handling have become a way to predict the acceptable standard weight lifted for workers whose main task is the manual lifting of materials and measuring the conditions is important to determine a maximum weight lifted. This study was conducted to twenty (20) workers between eighteen (18) and forty (40) years old with a minimum six m...

BACKGROUND Infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices during the first two years of life are important for the growth and development of a child.
