Patterns of intra-cluster correlation coefficients in school-based cluster randomised controlled trials of interventions for improving social-emotional functioning outcomes in pupi... by Kitty Parker, Michael Nunns, ZhiMin Xiao, Tamsin Ford, Paul Stallard, Willem Kuyken, Nick Axford, Obioha C. Ukoumunne

“…Abstract Background The cluster randomised trial (CRT) design is increasingly used to evaluate the impact of school-based interventions for improving social-emotional functioning outcomes in pupils. Good knowledge is required on plausible values of the intra-cluster correlation coefficient (ICC) of the outcome to calculate the required sample size in such studies. …”

Method of calculating the acoustical wave reflection coefficient from a not-sharp boundary of two media by Marek HAGEL

“…Changes in the physical properties of the transient layer, determined by the changes in its material parameters, occur along its thickness and can by described by arbitrary one-variable functions. Results of theoretical calculations of the reflection coefficient were given for chosen cases of material parameter changes in the transient layer and they were compared with results of measurements conducted on a physical model. …”
