We used the generalized estimating equation for the analysis reported as odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for every 10 mu g/m(3) increase and quartiles in PM2.5. Every 10 mu g/m(3) increase in levels of PM2.5 associated with acute upper respiratory infection (OR 1.02, 95%CI: ...
measurement error [65]. Previous literature reviews have presented limited, if any, information on the reliability of the biomechanical robotic metrics. Murphy and Häger [66], Wang et al. [56], and Shishov et al. [67] reviewed reliability, but omitted some important aspects of intra-class...
The question whether the global conversion of agriculture to Organic Farming (OF) systems would be able to supply the current and future demand for food and feed is the subject of scientific inquiry, public discussion, and political debate1,2,3. A rigorous analysis needs to distinguish between ...
The x represents the mean and the bars represent the minimum and maximum values within 1.5 times the lower and upper quartiles. (**P < 0.01, generalized estimating equation models). Abbreviations: MG, meibomian gland; TMH, tear meniscus height; OSDI, ocular surface disease index. The ...
Analysis of the number of days of missed work also used a negative binomial model but because there were multiple events for many participants, a generalized estimating equation model with an exchangeable correlation matrix was used. A comparison of the sum of the WURSS-24 scores in the first ...
Despite the ongoing debate about how much academic versus vocational upper-secondary education is favorable for a country and large differences across countries of those two types of education exist, the interplay of vocational and academic education on upper-secondary level and its consequences for the...

Bar is median, box is interquartile range, and whisker is nonoutlier range. Triangles are raw data. Calibration condition Figure 4 Box plot of calibration factors (K) by condition. K values gener- ated during isovolume conditions at functional residual capacity (FRC) and end inspiration, ...
upper body postures and heart rate and variability are presented as medians with interquartile ranges and as boxplots. Statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows (V28.0.0.0, IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) and statistical significance was accepted whenp < 0.05....
We also include front-sharpening weighting schemes within the ocean interior and in the mixed layer. Finally, we focus on the best sampled era, 2007–2011, where possible, supplemented by historical CTD data. Historical data are given a lower signal-to-noise ratio to discount them where ...
