AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The authors describe the procedure, suggested by Kendall for evaluation of the concordance of several sequences. Kendall's coefficient, called also coefficient of concordance, can be used when it is possible to assess the sequence of investigated variables. The calculation procedure and interpretation of the coefficient is explained on a simple example. For evaluation of significance tables of critical values are presented for 1% and 5% levels of significance.

Analysis of spatiotemporal distribution, variability, and trends of rainfall in Wollo area, Northeastern Ethiopia.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Physics (Atmospheric Physics), Wollo university, Dessie, Ethiopia.
Ethiopia's agriculture is mostly dependent on rain, though the rainfall distribution and amount are varied in spatiotemporal context. The study was conducted to analyze the distribution, trends, and variability of monthly, seasonal, and annual rainfall data over the Wollo area from 1981 to 2022. To accomplish this, the study utilized the Climate Hazards Group Infrared Precipitation with Stations version two (CHIRPS-v2) data.

Background: With increasing evidence supporting three-dimensional (3D) automated breast (AB) ultrasound (US) for supplemental screening of breast cancer in increased-risk populations, including those with dense breasts and in limited-resource settings, there is an interest in developing more robust, cost-effective, and high-resolution 3DUS imaging techniques. Compared with specialized ABUS systems, our previously developed point-of-care 3D ABUS system addresses these needs and is compatible with any conventional US transducer, which offers a cost-effective solution and improved availability in clinical practice. While conventional US transducers have high in-plane resolution (axial and lateral), their out-of-plane resolution is constrained by the poor intrinsic elevational US resolution.

Objective: The objective of this study was to develop a scale to assess the self-management capability of patients with spinal cord injuries and provide an evaluation tool for implementing targeted interventions.
Methods: Drawing upon the Integrated Theory of Health Behavior Change (ITHBC) and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) framework, an initial version of the Spinal Cord Injury Patient Self-Management Capability Assessment Scale was developed through literature analysis, semi-structured interviews, and expert inquiry using the Delphi method. Subsequently, two rounds of inquiries were conducted with a panel of 20 experts to refine items in the scale based on the feedback obtained.
Variations in wheat water requirement and climatic causes in arid regions of northwest China.
Environ Monit Assess
January 2025
School of Energy and Power Engineering, Xihua University, No. 9999 Hongguang Street, Chengdu, 610039, Sichuan Province, China.
Analysis of crop water requirement and its influencing factors are important for optimal allocation of water resources. However, research on variations of climatic factors and their contribution to wheat water requirement in Xinjiang is insufficient. In our study, daily meteorological data during 1961‒2017 in Xinjiang was collected.

The construction method and simulation parameter settings for the discrete element model of Jianwei Xiaoshi Granules, as the primary material of Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets, are not yet clear. The accuracy of the simulation model significantly influences the dynamic response characteristics between granules. Therefore, it is necessary to calibrate the parameters to improve the accuracy of the simulation parameters.
