IMPACT OF A SHORT VERSION OF THE CONSORT CHECKLIST FOR PEER REVIEWERS TO IMPROVE THE REPORTING OF RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIALS PUBLISHED IN BIOMEDICAL JOURNALS: STUDY PROTOCOL FOR A RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIAL

Introduction Transparent and accurate reporting is essential for readers to adequately interpret the results of a study.Journals can play a vital role in improving the reporting of published randomised controlled trials (RCTs).We describe an RCT to evaluate our hypothesis that asking peer reviewers to check whether the most important and poorly rep

The deepening of electricity reform results in increasingly frequent auctions and the surge of generators, making it difficult to analyze generators’ behaviors.With the difficulties to find analytical market equilibriums, approximate equilibriums were obtained instead in previous studies by market simulations, where in some cases the results

Direct Current (DC) grids are considered an attractive option for integrating high shares of renewable energy sources in the electrical distribution grid.Hence, in the future, Alternating Current (AC) and DC systems could be interconnected to form hybrid AC-DC distribution grids.This paper presents a two-step state estimation formulation for the mo

The siting of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfills is a complex decision process.Existing siting methods utilize expert scores to determine criteria weights, however, they ignore the uncertainty of data and criterion weights and the efficacy of results.In this study, a coupled fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) approach was employed to si
