Abstract Background Linear mixed models (LMM) are a common approach to analyzing data from cluster randomized trials (CRTs).Inference on parameters can be performed via Wald tests or likelihood ratio tests (LRT), but both approaches may give incorrect Type I error rates in common finite sample settings.The impact of different combinations of cluste
Single stranded DNA viruses have been previously shown to populate the oceans on a global scale, and are endemic in microbialites of both marine and freshwater systems.We undertook for the first time direct viral metagenomic shotgun sequencing to explore the diversity of viruses gtech brush bar in the modern stromatolites of Shark Bay Australia.The
To simultaneously solve problems in an eco-friendly manner, introducing a waste residual as a sustainable conditioner to aid alum sludge dewatering is suggested as a cradle-to-cradle form of waste management.In this regard, the superiority of deep dewatering alum sludge with a powdered wood chip composite residual as a novel conditioner was explore
The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) is a prominent pattern of climatic mode in the Indian Ocean that contributes to the changes in Rainfall pattern, Sea Surface jeff rosenstock buffalo Temperature (SST), and Surface Salinity (SSS) in the Indian Ocean.Recently in the scenario of Climate Change, this IOD may experience shifting in the phases development th
