Measurement Results

AbstractA new method is presented, different from usual methods, for the discussion of the results of computer ECG measurement programs, based on a new graphical evaluation method. The proposed “scatter-graphs” both highlight the main program results and facilitate the comparison between various wave-recognition algorithms. They allow the distinction between the reliability of an algorithm, which is its capacity to provide a maximum of measurements with a minimum amount of errors, and its precision, i.e., the standard deviation of the differences between its point estimates and the reference.The method proves to be a powerful tool for the discussion of individual, as well as the median program results in CSE Measurement Study. It allows to highlight limitations induced in performance assessment by the variability of the reference itself, and to state that the median program is at least as close to the “Gold Standard” as the median of the referees.

Evaluation method of reliability parameter estimation needs to be improved effectively with the advance of science and technology. This paper develops a new method of parameter estimation, which is named E-Bayesian estimation method. In the case one hyper-parameter, the definition of E-Bayesian estimation of the failure probability is provided, moreover, the formulas of E-Bayesian estimation and hierarchical Bayesian estimation, and the property of E-Bayesian estimation of the failure probability are also provided. Finally, calculation on practical problems shows that the provided method is feasible and easy to perform.

Clinical Point

After an extensive review of the literature, regarding zinc.oxide/eugenol impression pastes, we selected 20 of the most representatives as our references. Trough personal information of several of the investigators it was discovered that dimensional changes of theese materials is one of the most difficult properties to be measured. A new method was developed to measure dimensional changes ot 4 (four) of the most widely used zinc.oxide/eugenol impression materials in Brazil. The results, presented through several graphs and tables showed that dimensional changes varied from 0,003%, values which may probably be considered negligible from a clinical point of view. We noticed, however, high values for standard deviation and variance which indicate the high variability within the experiments. Those values were not found when we used the same method with mercaptan and silicone impression materials, in which the measurement of dimensional changes was highly reproducible. One hypothesis (which we intend to investigate in a later research) is that, during storage, a sedimentation could occur, of the components of greater density! Consequently ther might result a change in composition, independent of the method used to establishe the proportion of the two pastes, be it by wheight or measurement of lenght, which could be the cause of variability of the composition of each mixture!

Biostatistical Analysis

ABSTRACT In this first of a two-part series on introductory biostatistics, we briefly describe common designs. The advantages and disadvantages of six design types are highlighted. The randomized clinical trial is the gold standard to which other designs are compared. We present the benefits of randomization and discuss the importance of power and sample size. Sample size and power calculations for any design need to be based on meaningful effects of interest. We give examples of how the effect of interest and the sample size interrelate. We also define concepts helpful to the statistical inference process. When drawing conclusions from a completed study, P values, point estimates, and confidence intervals will all assist the researcher. Finally, the issue of multiple comparisons is briefly explored. The second paper in this series will describe basic analytical techniques and discuss some common mistakes in the interpretation of data.

<p>Fingerprint identification technology has been widely used to extract sediment source proportions, but the only indicator currently available to assess the accuracy and applicability of the results is good-fit (GOF). We have proposed a new method to evaluate sediment source results and quantitatively evaluate the applicability of sediment source mixing models. A typical check dam in the Loess Plateau was used to evaluate the new method by combining field sampling and numerical simulations. Collins (C) and modified Hughes mixing (M-H) models were used to quantitatively analyze the sediment sources of the check dams built and operated until July 2017. The results showed that the best combination for the fingerprint factors in the dam-controlled watershed, was Zn, Mg, Mn, and d (0,1), which had an 86.1% identification ability. With rainfall, the relative sediment contribution rates from gullies, sloping farmland, grasslands, and branch ditches were 54.22%, 23.56%, 15.54%, and 6.68%, respectively. The M-H mixing model had a higher comprehensive score (2.72) when compared with the C mixing model (2.54). The comprehensive evaluation method could provide an effective scientific theoretical basis for optimal allocations of water and soil conservation in small watersheds.</p>

In this paper, the weight coefficient of influencing factors for chemical combination flooding is determined by using grey correlation theory. A calculation method for comprehensive evaluation score of chemical combination flooding is established. The influence factor grading and weight grading are combined in this method. By collecting and analysing chemical combination flooding field tests, a prediction method for chemical combination flooding is established by the exponential regression. It reflects the relationship between EOR of the chemical combination flooding and the comprehensive evaluation score. The new method is applied in 6 different reservoirs to evaluate the effect of chemical flooding. The new method determines the weight coefficient of influence factors for chemical combination flooding. It can quickly predict EOR factor of chemical flooding to provide a basis for chemical flooding planning in the field.

✓ A new method of estimating intracranial decompensation in man is described. An on-line computer system is connected to an intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring system to compute regression plots of mean ICP vs standard deviation; standard deviation is used as a measure of ICP instability. Two zones with distinctly different slopes are a characteristic feature of these plots. It is thought that the changes of slope signify intracranial decompensation.
