Comments on the paper Study of effect of Gd substitution at the Fe site on structural, dielectric and electrical characteristics of BiFeO3 by L. Thansanga et al. (Appl. Phys. A. 125, 764 (2019))

My comments concern the severe errors in the crystallographic part of the commented paper. The correct formula is proposed to be Bi1-xGdxFeO3 instead of BiFe0.95Gd0.05O3. Thus, the actual composition of the studied crystal is not known. Furthermore, it is evident that the sample contains at least three different phases. The subsequent studies do not present the properties of the title compound.

MRI Before Biopsy Correlates With Depth of Invasion Corrected for Shrinkage Rate of the Histopathological Specimen in Tongue Carcinoma

The purpose of this study was to evaluate which radiological depth of invasion (r-DOI) measurement is the most concordant to clinical DOI (c-DOI) derived from correction for the shrinkage rate of the histopathological specimens.We retrospectively reviewed 128 patients with tongue carcinoma who had undergone glossectomy between 2006 and 2019. At first, the width shrinkage rate during formalin fixation and preparation process of histopathological specimens was evaluated. From the shrinking rates, a formula to calculate c-DOI from pathological DOI (p-DOI) was developed. The correlation between c-DOI and r-DOI was evaluated.The specimen shrinkage rate during the histopathological specimen preparation process was 10.3%. Based on that, we yielded the correct formula for c-DOI based on p-DOI and preparation shrinkage rate: c-DOI = p-DOI × 100/89.7. The regression equations for the association of c-DOI with r-DOI measured by ultrasound (n = 128), MRI before biopsy (n = 18), and MRI after biopsy (n = 110) were y = 1.12 * x + 0.21, y = 0.89 * x − 0.26, and y = 0.52 * x + 2.63, respectively, while the coefficients of determination were 0.664, 0.891, and 0.422, respectively. In conclusion, r-DOI using MRI before biopsy most strongly correlated with c-DOI.

Erratum: Measuring and Improving Consistency in Pretrained Language Models

During production of this paper, an error was introduced to the formula on the bottom of the right column of page 1020. In the last two terms of the formula, the n and m subscripts were swapped. The correct formula is:Lc=∑n=1k∑m=n+1kDKL(Qnri∥Qmri)+DKL(Qmri∥Qnri)The paper has been updated.

EFEKTIVITAS PEMBELAJARAN SPORT MASSASE BERBASIS MULTIMEDIA INTERAKTIF UNTUK MAHASISWA PENDIDIKAN JASMANI, KESEHATAN DAN REKREASI

Perkembangan teknologi mengharuskan para pendidik untuk lebih kreatif dalam memanfaatkan media pembelajaran, sehingga dengan multimedia interaktif dapat memfasilitasi pembelajaran sport massase agar lebih efektif dan efisien. Tingkat keefektifan dan efisiensi pembelajaran dengan multimedia interaktif perlu dikaji sehingga akan menemukan formula yang benar dan tepat dalam proses pembelajaran sport massase. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk memperoleh data empiris tentang efektivitas dan efisiensi hasil pembelajaran sport massase dengan multimedia interaktif pada mahasiswa pendidikan jasmani, kesehatan dan rekreasi. Metode penelitian ini penelitian eksperimen dengan menggunakan Pre-Test - Post-Test Control Group Design. Nilai gain score keterampilan sport masase kelompok kontrol memperoleh rata-rata 0,37 yang artinya adalah perbandingan antara nilai Pre-Test dan Post-Test mengalami perbedaan dalam kategori sedang. Nilai gain score keterampilan sport masase kelompok uji coba adalah 0,82 yang artinya adalah perbandingan antara nilai Pre-Test dan Post-Test mengalami perbedaan dalam kategori tinggi. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa pembelajaran multimedia interaktif lebih efektif karena dapat memfasilitasi dan mengatasi kesulitan-kesulitan mahasiswa dalam pembelajaran sport massase menggunakan. Technology development that requires educators to be more creative in using learning media, so that interactive multimedia can facilitate sports learning to be more effective and efficient. The level of effectiveness and efficiency of learning with interactive multimedia needs to be studied so that it will find the correct and correct formula in the sports massage learning process. The research objective is to obtain empirical data about the benefits and efficiency of massase learning outcomes with interactive multimedia on physical education, health and recreation students. This research method is an experimental study using Pre-Test - Post-Test Control Group Design. The gain value of the sports skills score of the control group obtained an average of 0.37 which means that compared to the value of the Pre-Test and Post-Test increasingly varied in the medium category. The score for obtaining a group trial skills score is 0.82 which means that the scores between the Pre-Test and Post-Test are increasingly different in the high category. Can deny that interactive multimedia learning is more effective because it can facilitate and overcome the difficulties of students in learning sports using massase.

Pocket formula for alpha decay energies and half-lives of actinide nuclei

It is important to construct the correct formula for alpha decay half-lives. The present work verifies the validity of Geiger–Nuttall law (GNL) for actinides and hence presenting the simple empirical formula for alpha decay energies and halflives for actinides based on the available experimental results. We have studied the variation of logarithmic halflives with ${Z}_{d}^{n}{Q}^{-1/2}$ for different values of n (0.2–1). The variation of logarithmic halflives with ${Z}_{d}^{n}{Q}^{-1/2}$ is found to be linear for which n = 0.6. The values produced by the present formula compared with that of experiments. The present formulae successfully produces the alpha decay half-lives and Q-value in the actinide region. This formula is specially for actinide parent nuclei only.

Simultaneous Removal of Prefix and Suffix

This work is an attempt to devise a Stemmer that can remove both prefix and suffix together from a given word in English language. For a given input word, our method considers all possible internal [Formula: see text]-grams for detection of potential stems. We frame a hypothesis where the stem length is closest to the half of the length of the input word. A standard English dictionary has been employed to identify morphologically correct [Formula: see text]-grams in the process. We apply our techniques over a random sample of 100 English words, each possessing both prefix and suffix. We also compare our proposed Stemmer with three standard algorithms from the literature. Empirical results exhibit that our technique performs better than the rest of the stemmers.

Rectification of modified AMMI stability value (MASV)

Additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) analysis is widely used for analyzing data of multi-environment trials (METs) to model the genotype-by-environment interactions (GEIs). However, AMMI model do not rank genotypes which is required for aiding selection. In order to overcome these lacunae a stability index titled AMMI stability value (ASV) was proposed by Purchase et al. (1997) using first two interaction principal components (IPCA) from the results of AMMI analysis. Later, Zali et al. (2012) modified it and proposed Modified ASV (MASV) which used all significant IPCAs. However, Zali et al. (2012) read the original formula of ASV incorrectly while proposing MASV thus rendering it erroneous. Use of this erroneous MASV impacted genotype ranking significantly. Corrected version of MASV, i.e. MASV2 showed significant correlation with other stability models. Hence, we propose MASV2 as a correct formula for modified AMMI stability Value (MASV) and this correct version of MASV may be used instead of earlier formula proposed by Zali et al. (2012).
