Identification of Aggregation Pheromone as an Attractant for Odontothrips loti, A Serious Thrips Pest on Alfalfa (2024)
Journal Article
Li, X., Cheng, J., Han, H., Kirk, W. D., O’Brien, M., Wang, L., …Lu, Y. (in press). Identification of Aggregation Pheromone as an Attractant for Odontothrips loti, A Serious Thrips Pest on Alfalfa. Journal of Chemical Ecology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10886-024-01532-8

Odontothrips loti (Haliday) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is one of the most serious pests on alfalfa, causing direct damage by feeding and indirect damage by transmitting plant viruses. This damage causes significant loss in alfalfa production. Semioche...

Implementation of fracture risk assessment in men with prostate cancer requiring long-term androgen deprivation therapy: a systematic scoping review using the i-PARIHS implementation framework (2024)
Journal Article
Huang, Q., Mitchell, C., Theodoulou, E., Lee, A. C. K., & Brown, J. (in press). Implementation of fracture risk assessment in men with prostate cancer requiring long-term androgen deprivation therapy: a systematic scoping review using the i-PARIHS implementation framework. Journal of Cancer Survivorship, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11764-024-01659-3

Purpose Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a mainstay of treatment for prostate cancer (PCa) and is associated with increased risks of osteoporosis and fragility fractures. Despite international guidelines to mitigate fracture risk, osteoporosis...

Recommendations for analysing and meta-analysing small sample size software engineering experiments (2024)
Journal Article
Kitchenham, B., & Madeyski, L. (2024). Recommendations for analysing and meta-analysing small sample size software engineering experiments. Empirical Software Engineering, 29(6), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10664-024-10504-1

Context Software engineering (SE) experiments often have small sample sizes. This can result in data sets with non-normal characteristics, which poses problems as standard parametric meta-analysis, using the standardized mean difference (StdMD) effe...

Development and initial evaluation of a clinical prediction model for risk of treatment resistance in first-episode psychosis: Schizophrenia Prediction of Resistance to Treatment (SPIRIT) (2024)
Journal Article
Farooq, S., Hattle, M., Kingstone, T., Ajnakina, O., Dazzan, P., Demjaha, A., …Riley, R. D. (in press). Development and initial evaluation of a clinical prediction model for risk of treatment resistance in first-episode psychosis: Schizophrenia Prediction of Resistance to Treatment (SPIRIT). British Journal of Psychiatry, 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1192/bjp.2024.101

Background A clinical tool to estimate the risk of treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) in people with first-episode psychosis (FEP) would inform early detection of TRS and overcome the delay of up to 5 years in starting TRS medication. Aims...
