Proposição de valores de referência para a concentração natural de metais pesados em solos brasileiros Proposition of reference values for natural concentration of heavy metals in... by Francisco de S. Fadigas, Nelson M. B. do Amaral Sobrinho, Nelson Mazur, Lúcia H. C. dos Anjos, Alessandra A. Freixo

“…<br>To evaluate the extension of soil pollution of a site it is common to compare the contents found in a specific soil with those in natural conditions (unpolluted) or with reference values (patterns). The goal of this study was to propose: 1) reference values (VR) and tolerance limits for the most representative Brazilian soils, and 2) a model for obtaining the levels of Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in a soil under natural conditions from the silt, clay, Mn, Fe contents and CEC value. …”

DNA: detecting early signs of neurodegenerative diseases through activity and sleep analysis by Hasina Attaullah, Sanaullah Sanaullah, Annika Peters, Qazi Arbab Ahmed, Justin Baudisch, Thorsten Jungeblut

“…Experimental findings reveal a distinct stratification: TM001 and TM002 exhibited Low WADI and Low SDP with an average of &gt;0.015 − &gt;0.2 scores, suggesting stable routines, whereas TM003 and TM004 demonstrated elevated with an average of &gt;0.03 − &gt;0.4 values, indicating disrupted behaviors. In TM004, up to 28% of days were flagged as anomalous, correlating with patterns consistent with early neurodegeneration such as fragmented sleep and disorganized activity routines. …”

The Specific Evidence Rule. Reference Classes – Individuals – Personal Autonomy by Kyriakos N. Kotsoglou

“…This paper grapples with the issue of naked statistical evidence in general and the reference class problem (RCP) in particular. By analysing the reasoning patterns underlying the RCP, I will show, first, that the RCP rests on theoretical presuppositions which we are by no means willing to accept. …”
