“Leveraging a combination of financial analysis, empirical observations, and limited existing literature, we estimate that restructuring costs (that include much more than severance packages) are approximately 10 times higher in countries with high labor protection, such as in Western Europe, than in ...
we discuss the importance of the late (Neoproterozoic) onset of the modern plate tectonics regime. We begin by exploring what kinds of tectonics an active silicate body can have and then explain that such bodies likely have complex tectonic ...
They discuss how one might estimate a higher return. For example, if China had targeted its shipbuilding subsidies to larger and more efficient firms, rather than encouraging entry–as it eventually did–the return to its subsidies would have been higher. Also, if one takes into account that C...
GPs completed a questionnaire on the feasibility and acceptability of the patient-directed tool administration including judgments of wording and format, and patient's acceptance and understanding of the test. Questions were rated on a five-point scale: 'not at all' (1), 'a little' (2), 'mo...
We described continuous normally distributed variables by mean and SD, and continuous non-normally distributed variables by median and IQR. We presented categorical variables as number and proportions. We used multiple imputation with chained equations to estimate missing values for triglyceride measurements...
Measuring handgrip strength is the initial step to diagnose sarcopenia. To investigate whether the serum creatinine (Cr)/cystatin C (CysC) ratio could serve as a case-finding tool for low handgrip strength, we conducted a diagnostic accuracy study. Adult
In short, you must possess some experience to estimate a property’s fair market value and the cost of renovations. Besides, you need sufficient capital to get the project done on time. It is why the strategy isn’t always the best for beginners. But if done right, it’s one of the ...
Sampling statistics ordinarily take as their point of departure some finding in a sample. Say the sample consists of artifacts, including some projectile points. We can estimate the proportion of projectile points in the artifact assemblage from which the sample came; we can estimate the mean ...
2 and Supplementary Material S3, we estimate the change in mesopelagic prey vertical distribution and hunting time between the present and 2100 throughout the study domain within the southern Indian Ocean. Projected changes in the future ocean show freshening of near surface waters in the west (30...
of missed infections (e.g. asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic infections) in influencing the effectiveness of outbreak control measures. To our knowledge, the use of data on these transmission linkages to estimate the burden of infection for SARS-CoV-2 at the population level has yet to be ...
