Abstract Background To assess the completeness of reporting, research transparency practices, and risk of selection and immortal bias in observational studies using routinely collected data for comparative effectiveness research.Method We performed a meta-research study by searching PubMed for comparative effectiveness observational studies evaluat
A simple method for calculating minimum estimates of previous population sizes of wildlife from hunting records.
Hunting records have proven useful for examining the historical status of wildlife populations.The number of animals harvested can provide information on past population sizes that would have been required to support harvest yields.Therefore, when statistical data on annual harvests are available, a minimum estimate of past population sizes can be
Research on pricing coordination strategy of closed-loop supply chain based on recycling quality grading under government participation
A closed-loop supply chain model incorporating government involvement has been developed to optimize the utilization of waste products, quantifying the quality level of such products.The utilization of game theory within the model allows for an examination of how government incentives and penalties for remanufacturing impact pricing decisions withi
Design of Immune-Algorithm-Based Adaptive Fuzzy Controllers for Active Suspension Systems
The aim of this paper is to integrate the artificial immune systems and adaptive fuzzy control for the automobile suspension system, which is regarded as a multiobjective optimization problem.Moreover, the fuzzy control rules and membership controls are then introduced for identification and memorization.It leads fast convergence in the search proc
