Impact of selective evidence presentation on judgments of health inequality trends: an experimental study. by Sam Harper, Nicholas B King, Meredith E Young

“…We randomized participants to see either a difference or ratio measure of health inequality alongside raw mortality rates in 5 different scenarios. At baseline there were no differences between treatment groups in assessments of inequality trends, but selective exposure to the same raw data augmented with ratio versus difference inequality graphs altered participants' assessments of inequality change. …”

Experimental study on the dynamic properties of low-cement sludge solidified soil under long-term cyclic loading by Jiantao Lin, Wenjun Wang, Xiao Cheng, Haoqiang Pan

“…The test results revealed the following: (1) The cumulative deformation of the solidified soil exhibited either a “stable” or a “failure” pattern, with the transition governed by the critical dynamic load, which was strongly influenced by the cement content. (2) Increasing the cement content significantly enhanced the fatigue resistance of the solidified soil; when the content was increased from 4 to 6%, the fatigue life improved by up to 575%. (3) When the cement content exceeded 6%, the growth rates of both fatigue life and initial dynamic elastic modulus slowed markedly, indicating a clear phenomenon of diminishing marginal returns. …”
