CALIBRATED META-ANALYSIS TO ESTIMATE THE EFFICACY OF MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENTS IN TARGET POPULATIONS: AN APPLICATION TO PALIPERIDONE TRIALS FOR TREATMENT OF SCHIZOPHRENIA

Abstract Backgrounds Meta-analyses can be a powerful tool but need to calibrate potential unrepresentativeness of the included trials to a target population.Estimating target population average treatment effects (TATE) in meta-analyses is important to understand how treatments perform in well-defined target populations.This study estimated TATE of

The use of remote sensing techniques is now common practice in different working environments, including engineering geology.Moreover, in recent years the development of structure from motion (SfM) methods, together with rapid technological improvement, has allowed the widespread use of cost-effective remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) for ac

This paper presents a low-voltage nano-power multiple-input operational here transconductance amplifier (MI-OTA) with high linearity performance and increased input voltage swing.The enhanced performances are achieved thanks to employing several techniques as the bulk-driven, source-degeneration, self-cascode and negative conductance along with the

Abstract To effectively solve the reverse logistics distribution problem caused by the increasing number of scrapped parts in the automotive market, this study constructs a multi-trip green vehicle routing problem model with time windows by comprehensively considering the coordination between carbon dioxide emissions and cost efficiency.A hybrid ad

The availability of broad-band digital data allow "the analysis" of the seismic signal in the low-noise frequency band for structural and seismic source studies, We model complete seismograms -surface and body waves - for rubbermaid 8 gallon trash can the December 13, 1 990, Eastern Sicily earthquake, recorded at regional distances on the MEDNET st
