Statistical significance

segment was recorded, as well as the thickness of the segment at the starting and end points. The segment thickness was recorded to ensure that any differences in dendritic spine density was not due to differences in dendritic branch thickness. Statistical Analysis All data collection and analyses were conducted

Recently, several studies reported that SP TFESI is a safer alternative to the conventional SA approach, because of the risk of vascular complications [20]. This study aimed to investigate the contrast spreading pattern and its correlation with efficacy for SP TFESI. Contrast was examined for the spread to both the ventral and dorsal epidural spaces, and in cephalic and caudal directions. Clinical efficacy was significantly correlated with the cephalic spreading pattern. These results indicate that

comparisons (NDI, NPRS, GROC, & ROM) that have statistical significance. As for the within-group comparisons, the one-week significant improvement in NDI (24% for AP and 37% for LAT) surpassed the minimal clinically important difference and/or the minimal detectable change (MDC) of 20% change. The improved mean NPRS “at worst” for AP is -1.82 ± 2.93 (out of 10); this approaches MCID/MDC of 2; for LAT is -1.45 ± 2.16 (out of 10). In addition, some statistical and clinically noteworthy CR were found: (1)

Relevant data were obtained from the same 6 studies (with 421 participants) (Yamasaki et al. 2010, Gangji et al. 2011, Zhao et al. 2012, Lim et al. 2013, Liu et al. 2013, Ma et al. 2014). The respective summarized estimate of effect size almost reached borderline levels of statistical significance and yielded

Introduction A range of studies has been conducted on instructional technology. Many findings show that technology has a significant contribution to the improvement in teachers’ competency and instruction effectiveness. However, not all applications of technology in the classroom lead to the desired goals. There are numerous constrains that may contribute to this. The level of technology acceptance is one of these factors. However, what influences technology acceptance among teachers? The article

Mann-Whitney U test was conducted to find out if statistical differences occurred in the number of bullying incidents based upon the gender of victims and bullies. This test works best when a survey instrument representing ordinal data is used. In this case, the OBQ instrument was used. Before the Mann-Whitney U test can be conducted, the OBQ data had to be entered into software called the Predictive analysis software (PASW). The chi-square statistical test was also used to compare data in categories

The sample size was calculated using a joint statistical and pragmatic assessment to represent a true mean difference of one day in length of stay with a power of 80% at 95% level of significance. The study involved a total of 214 infants, 107 in the study group and 107 in the

Capstone Experience Proposal The focus of this project is to do an evaluation of the preliminary results observed in the first two years of the study. I am interested in answering the following questions: Baseline Assessments (Year 1 Data) 1. How do noise exposures among participating farmers (both control and intervention farmers) compare to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Permissible Exposure Limit (OSHA PEL), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Recommended

risk students are kicked out of school at this age or they drop out. Once a student starts on this discipline track they head down the path of drop out usually with some criminal charges attached. This topic is important to see if there is some significance to discipline, academic success, attendance, out of school suspension, and dropouts. This study will also look at school resource officers’ data to get an understanding of how their data compares with many of the school referrals. It also will
