When researchers request funding and authorisation from financial institutions to carry out their project, one of the first questions they are asked is: what is the statistical power of the study you are proposing? If the researcher answers, for example, 90%, and the evaluator is satisfied, it is certain that he/she is not really familiar with the subject. The power of a study is not unique. It depends on certain parameters and what happens is that, in most cases, by introducing a slight variation in the values of these parameters, the power takes on an acceptable value. If this is not the case and the study is carried out anyway, and its results are very significant, there is no room to question its success by arguing that the power of the study was very low. It is just the time to celebrate.

Learning, economies of scale, and knowledge gap effects on power generation technology cost improvements.
iScience
January 2025
International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Laxenburg, Lower Austria, Austria.
Cost reductions are essential for accelerating clean technology deployment. Because multiple factors influence costs, traditional one-factor learning models, solely relying on cumulative installed capacity as an explanatory variable, may oversimplify cost dynamics. In this study, we disentangle learning and economies of scale effects at unit and project levels and introduce a knowledge gap concept to quantify rapid technological change's impact on costs.

Background: Sepsis is a severe complication in leukemia patients, contributing to high mortality rates. Identifying early predictors of sepsis is crucial for timely intervention. This study aimed to develop and validate a predictive model for sepsis risk in leukemia patients using machine learning techniques.

Objective: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised studies in humans comparing the outcomes of switching to heated tobacco products (HTPs) versus continuing conventional tobacco smoking by burning.
Methods: We searched the electronic databases which included PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Controlled Trials Register, and Google Scholar from inception to May 2023. Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) in humans comparing HTPs with conventional burnt tobacco products were selected.

To study the characteristics of bread by incorporating nutrient-rich quinoa flour as a new source for product development. Wheat flour was replaced by fractionated quinoa flour in different variations from 0%QF to 20%QF: 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% WQF blends, respectively. Physicochemical studies resulted in higher protein and fiber content for the higher blend.
