Extreme-cum-median ranked set sampling has been developed to address the problem of heterogeneity and outliers / extreme values. Double ranked set sampling has been suggested to obtain more reliable samples using the concept of degree of distinguishability. Dealing with heterogeneous and non-normal populations seems to be an area with a dearth of research.

Materials & Methods: The new derivatives were characterized using various spectroscopic techniques. Docking studies were used to investigate the binding patterns to EGFR, and the anti-proliferative properties were tested in vitro.
Small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT) is one of the rare and aggressive cancers occurring mainly in adolescents and young women. It accounts for less than 0.01% of all ovarian malignancies, with around 500 cases reported to date in the medical literature.

Polypropylene random copolymer (PPRC) was employed as the matrix phase, while rice husk (RH), a biowaste filler, was incorporated in varying concentrations. The rice husk fiber was treated with alkali (RHT) to enhance its lignocellulosic content.
