A service evaluation of the accuracy of the Gold Standard Framework Proactive Indicator Guidance (GSF PIG) in predicting 12 month mortality in patietns with a diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).doi:10.1183/13993003.congress-2018.PA3859...
extended on the tail of the curve of likelihood. In the quality control domain, the battle cry used to be Six Sigma, meaning the tolerated defect rate goal would be six standard errors, a rate in no way achievable. A quick check of the probability tables unmasks...
pylori biofilm abilities of different drugs were evaluated under a unified standard through an established data processing method. Finally, the interaction mechanism of anti-biofilm drugs with AlpB outer membrane protein was analyzed in detail at molecular level....
Russia could retaliate in a way that would have phenomenal impact on the U.S. dollar. . . .Russia has the upper hand. They have it in their ability to turn the U.S. economy upside down and into collapse. There is no question whatsoever. Putin doesn’t need a nuclear bomb. He has ...
Filter and thickener controls are standard controls for internal models found in HSC Sim equipment models. Table 4 Parameters used in simulation of the halogen leaching process Full size table The main principles and observations of the simulated halogen leaching are described in the following sections...
Texture analysis; is used to estimate the standard deviation of the input grid by analysing regions of subdued magnetic responses. Features of significance (e.g., regions of discontinuity) show high variability. Lineament detection; is used to generate the phase symmetry of the grid and detect li...
Such a framework requires gene expression datasets where enrichment status of gene sets is known a priori. In the absence of such gold standard datasets, artificial datasets are commonly used for evaluations of gene set analysis methods; however, they often rely on oversimplifying assumptions that ...
The samples were subjected to a preliminary visual test performed with an optical metallographic microscope (Leica MEF4M) at 20× magnification, in order to verify the standard coating quality before the wear resistance test. All the samples underwent the same mechanical wear resistance test, i.e....
Apache Calcite is a dynamic data management framework. It contains many of the pieces that comprise a typical database management system but omits the storage primitives. It provides an industry standard SQL parser and validator, a customisable optimizer with pluggable rules and cost functions, logica...
The Gold Standard Framework (GSF) is recommended for use in primary care settings with this patient group to predict 12?month mortality, it is stated to be accurate in 70% of cases, however there is little evidence to support this. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this tool...
