Confusion Over Measures of Evidence (p's) Versus Errors (α's) in Classical Statistical Testing

Confusion surrounding the reporting and interpretation of results of classical statistical tests is widespread among applied researchers, most of whom erroneously believe that such tests are prescribed by a single coherent theory of statistical inference. This is not the case: Classical statistical testing is an anonymous hybrid of the competing and frequently contradictory approaches formulated by R. A. Fisher on the one hand, and Jerzy Neyman and Egon Pearson on the other. In particular, there is a widespread failure to appreciate the incompatibility of Fisher's evidential p value with the Type I error rate, α, of Neyman-Pearson statistical orthodoxy. The distinction between evidence (p's) and error (α's) is not trivial. Instead, it reflects the fundamental differences between Fisher's ideas on significance testing and inductive inference, and Neyman-Pearson's views on hypothesis testing and inductive behavior. The emphasis of the article is to expose this incompatibility, but we also briefly note a possible reconciliation.
Ethnobotanical study of medicinal plants in Guji Agro-pastoralists, Blue Hora District of Borana Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia

Background: An ethnobotanical study of traditional medicinal plants was conducted in Bule Hora District, Borana Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia. The objective of the study was to identify and document medicinal plants and the associated ethnobotanical knowledge of the local people. Methods: Relevant ethnobotanical data focused on traditional medicinal plants were collected using guided field walk, semi-structured interview, and direct field observation. Informant consensus method and group discussion were conducted for crosschecking and verification of the information. Both descriptive statistics and quantitative ethnobotanical methods were used for data analysis. Results: We documented 106 species distributed in 98 genera and 46 families based on local claims of medicinal values. Local users collect most of these plants from the wild. The common plant families that encompass large number of medicinal plant species were Asteraceae (10 species), Rubiaceae (9 species) followed by Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae and Lamiaceae which contributed 7 species each. Conclusion: The study reported the existence of a number of medicinal plants, an indication for the presence of plant based traditional medicinal knowledge transfer that survived through generations. Informants stated that medicinal plants growing in the wild are under threat due to increased use pressure coupled with unsuitable harvesting that frequently targets leaves, roots and barks for remedy preparations. This calls for urgent and collaborative actions to keep the balance between medicinal plants availability in the wild state and their utilization by the community. Furthermore, the study attempted to prioritize the most effective medicinal plants as perceived by the local people for possible pharmacological testing.
Evaluation of the potential of Pontederia parviflora Alexander in the absorption of copper (Cu) and its effects on tissues

The study sought to evaluate the potential of the aquatic macrophyte Pontederia parviflora Alexander in the absorption of copper (Cu) and possible variations in its tissues after 21 days of exposure to this metal. The concentration of Cu was analyzed in the solution and in the vegetal tissues (stem, root and leaves). The experiment was set up in triplicates with weekly measurements of pH, temperature and DO. The results indicated that P. parviflora reduced 96% of Cu in the solution and the root was the vegetal tissue, which accumulated more Cu. Values of pH, DO and temperature were in accordance with the metabolic activities of the plants. In the anatomic analyses, dark spots were identified in the vascular bundles and in the epidermis of the aerial parts, highlighting the variation resulting from the presence of this substance. However, these variations were not sufficient to damage the development of the individuals. P. parviflora showed high capacity of extraction and storage of the metal, being a good alternative to aquatic environments with high concentrations of Cu.
Habitat requirements of the threatened snake species Hoplocephalus stephensii (Elapidae) in eastern Australia

Although forested habitats in eastern Australia have attracted significant conservation-related research, this work has focused strongly on endothermic vertebrates. Threatened reptile taxa have received less attention, but information on their habitat requirements should be central to management planning. The arboreal elapid snake Hoplocephalus stephensii is largely restricted to remnant forests in eastern Australia, and is listed as a threatened species under wildlife legislation. We collated 84 records of the current New South Wales geographical distribution of H. stephensii, and compared attributes of these locations to those of randomly chosen points within the same forests, in adjacent forests, in timber plantations and on freehold land across the geographical range of the taxon. Data on climatic and topographic characteristics of these sites were obtained from Geographic Information Systems databases and entered into a principal components analysis. Unsurprisingly, locations where snakes were recorded differed from the random sites in several respects (e.g. rainfall, elevation, seasonality of precipitation). Within a given forest, H. stephensii was generally found in areas similar to randomly chosen points. Comparison of vegetation communities used with those available within forests provided no evidence for active habitat selection. Comparisons of Geographic Information Systems-derived data for snake-collection localities along roads versus those within the forest revealed significant biases, and we warn that such methodological errors could generate spurious conclusions about non-random habitat use by threatened species. In combination with previous data from radio-tracking, we conclude that although H. stephensii is highly specialized in its arboreality and dependence upon hollow trees, its broad tolerance with respect to other factors (climatic conditions, vegetation communities, food types, etc.) allows populations to persist so long as large areas of forest with high numbers of hollow-bearing trees are available. These requirements are similar to those of many other components of the Australian forest fauna. Thus, the findings of this study support the idea that the same kinds of management programmes can effectively conserve a wide range of taxa, if such programmes protect critical habitat components at suitable spatial scales.
Comparisons Between Experimental Measurements and RANS-Based Simulations on the Aerodynamics of a Horseshoe Vortex Configuration

Rans – based simulations are often used in order to simulate the highly three dimensional nature of the flow close to the junction area of cascades or other horseshoe vortex configurations. Despite the enormous development of CFD methods and turbulence models of the past decade, the accurate prediction of secondary flows and heat transfer phenomena in blade to blade passages is still considerably a very challenging task. The present study employs the κ-ω Shear Stress Transport (SST) model in order to simulate the secondary flow structures past a symmetric body attached on an endwall and compares the predictions to detailed experimental data obtained on an identical geometry. The experimental data provided an evaluation of how accurately the κ - ω SST model can predict the behavior and spatial position of the horseshoe vortex core as it wraps around the leading edge of the bluff body.
Blowfly metagenomes as a tool to assess the presence of microbial pathogens on farms

Flies can act as vectors for various diseases, and the close association between flies, livestock and poultry, and humans warrants closer study to develop an understanding of disease transmission. In this study, we aimed to identify bacterial species carried by flies collected from several animal facilities local to Penn State University. We used Illumina MiSeq and HiSeq sequencers to determine the fly species and the entire metagenome of the samples. After determining which bacterial species were most prominent, we chose four to investigate further using MLST schemes. We successfully amplified genes from Acinetobacter baumannii, Helicobacter cinaedi, Proteus mirabilis, and Escherichia coli directly from the original DNA samples. With sequences from the PCRs, we were able to verify the presence of these pathogenic species in some samples and in other samples verified the genera. Methods such as those used in this study could prove beneficial to agriculture, veterinary medicine, and public health as tools to determine the best route toward disease prevention.

An Architecture of 2-Dimensional 4-Dot 2-Electron QCA Full Adder and Subtractor with Energy Dissipation Study

Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is the beginning of novel technology and is capable of an appropriate substitute for orthodox semiconductor transistor technology in the nanoscale extent. A competent adder and subtractor circuit can perform a substantial function in devising arithmetic circuits. The future age of digital techniques will exercise QCA as preferred nanotechnology. The QCA computational procedures will be simplified with an effective full adder and subtractor circuit. The deficiencies of variations and assembly still endure as a setback in QCA based outlines, and being capricious and inclined to error is the limitation of these circuits. In this study, a new full adder and subtractor design using unique 3-input XOR gate with cells redundancy is proposed. This designs can be utilized to form different expedient QCA layouts. The structures are formed in a single layer deprived of cross-wiring. Besides, this study is directed to the analysis of the functionality and energy depletion possessions of the outlined full adder and subtractor circuits. For the first time, QCADesigner-Energy (QD-E) version 2.0. 3 tool is utilized to find the overall depleted energy. The attained effects with QCADesigner have verified that the outlined design has enhanced functioning in terms of intricacy, extent, and latency in contrast to the earlier designs. Moreover, the redundant form of full adder and subtractor has uncomplicated and robust arrangement competing typical styles.
Food deprivation does not affect growth performance of juvenile tambacu

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of food deprivation on the growth performance of the commercially important hybrid fish tambacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus male × Colossoma macropomum female). For this, 171 juveniles of average length 8 cm and 11.4 g body mass were distributed in nine tanks, and allocated to three treatments: the fish were fed every day (control), fed for six days followed by one day of food deprivation (6F/1D) and fed for five days followed by two days of food deprivation (5F/2D). After 77 days, all animals achieved similar growth rates. Only animals submitted to two days of food deprivation presented hyperphagia. There was a reduction in total feed consumption of 3.8% and 10.8% for the 6F/1D and 5F/2D treatments, respectively. Our results suggest that juvenile tambacu exhibit total compensatory growth when submitted to food deprivation, and that a two-day deprivation could significantly reduce production costs for tambacu farmers.
Examining Attitudes of Students Regarding the Sports Education Model and Direct Teaching Model

The aim of the research was to investigate the effects of sports education model and direct teaching model on the attitudes of the students, and the differences among the attitudes of students. The study group of the research included 29 students from 6 th and 7 th grade of a secondary school in the 2015-2016 academic years. The experimental group consisted of students attended in the sixth class in which the physical education and sports lesson was conducted using the "sports education model" while the control group was the students in the 7th class in which the physical education and sports lesson was conducted using the "direct teaching model". As a data collection tool; the "Internal Motivation Inventory" developed by Ryan (1982) and adapted to Turkish by Caliskur (2013) was used. In the analysis of the data; the "Mann Whitney U" test was used for the significance of the differences between post-implementation attitudes of the groups. In addition, the interview questions prepared by the researchers were answered by the students and the data were recorded. As a result; significant differences were found in the students' interest/enjoyment, perceived competence, value/benefit, effort/importance and work perception dimensions, but no significant difference was detected in the perceived choice rights and pressure/tension.
Mathematical Reasoning of Treatment Principle Based on the Stable Logic Analysis Model of Complex Systems

The article reviews the stable logic analysis model of complex systems or steady multilateral systems with two non-compatibility relations. Energy concept in Physics is introduced to the multilateral systems and used to deal with the multilateral system diseases. By using mathematical reasoning, it is demonstrated that the treatment principle: “Virtual disease is to fill his mother but real disease is to rush down his son” and “Strong inhibition of the same time, support the weak” which due to the “Yin Yang Wu Xing” Theory in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Strength of identification and intergroup differentiation: the influence of group norms

The present study aimed at showing that the relationship between identification and ingroup bias is moderated by salient group norms that prescribe or proscribe differentiation in an intergroup context. A study (N=191) in which level of identification and group norms were manipulated showed that high identifiers acted more in accordance with a salient differentiation norm compared to low identifiers. When a fairness norm was made salient, however, the Expected difference was not obtained. The results are discussed in the context of the inconsistent relationships between ingroup bias and identification found in previous research. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
The incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients

Background and aim. Lung cancer is one of the most common tumours and the cause of cancer-related deaths in European countries. In the past few years, a significant morbidity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been noticed in this group of patients. Cigarette smoking is the strongest risk factor for both conditions. The palliative care of lung cancer patients is often based solely on the tumour symptoms' management, whereas some patients would benefit from the combined treatment including the treatment for COPD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of COPD in advanced (TNM = IIIB and IV) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Material and methods. The study was a retrospective analysis. One hundred four patients (28 women and 76 men, aged from 47 to 74 years, mean: 63.2 years) with advanced NSCLC were included in the study. Results. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (according to GOLD criteria) was diagnosed in 26 cases (25%), including 1 mild, 17 moderate and 8 with severe or very severe disease. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was significantly more frequent in squamous cell lung carcinoma in comparison to other types (p = 0.009). Conclusions. Coexistence of lung cancer and COPD is frequent. Therefore, it is important to consider the treatment for COPD in palliative care of advanced lung cancer patients.
FROM ORDER TO CHAOS IN EARTH SATELLITE ORBITS

We consider Earth satellite orbits in the range of semimajor axes where the perturbing effects of Earth’s oblateness and lunisolar gravity are of comparable order. This range covers the medium-Earth orbits (MEO) of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems and the geosynchronous orbits (GEO) of the communication satellites. We recall a secular and quadrupolar model, based on the Milankovitch vector formulation of perturbation theory, which governs the long-term orbital evolution subject to the predominant gravitational interactions. We study the global dynamics of this two-and-a-half degrees-of-freedom Hamiltonian system by means of the fast Lyapunov indicator (FLI), used in a statistical sense. Specifically, we characterize the degree of chaoticity of the action space using angle-averaged normalized FLI maps, thereby overcoming the angle dependencies of the conventional stability maps. Emphasis is placed upon the phase-space structures near secular resonances, which are of primary importance to the space debris community. We confirm and quantify the transition from order to chaos in MEO, stemming from the critical inclinations and find that highly inclined GEO orbits are particularly unstable. Despite their reputed normality, Earth satellite orbits can possess an extraordinarily rich spectrum of dynamical behaviors and, from a mathematical perspective, have all the complications that make them very interesting candidates for testing the modern tools of chaos theory.
