Diabetes Has Gotten Pretty Darn Complicated

i n the United States, 8% of our population has been diagnosed with diabetes, and 4% has diabetes that remains undiagnosed. Current projections suggest that the prevalence of diabetes will increase to 20–30% of the population by 2050 (1). Diabetes is, and will remain, a primary care medical issue, with >80% of patients with type 2 diabetes being managed by primary care providers (PCPs). Althoug...

Moving Beyond Monitoring ... PDQ (Pretty Damn Quick)

Performance management can be broken into three sequential processes: performance monitoring, performance analysis, and performance modeling. (Fig. 1) Monitoring is the theme of this issue, analysis refers to the capability of looking for patterns in monitored data that reside in a database, while modeling attempts to use monitored data to predict future events, such as resource bottlenecks. PD...

Quick and dirty but still pretty good: a review of new descriptive methods in food science

For food scientists and industrials, descriptive profiling is an essential tool that involves the evaluation of both the qualitative and quantitative sensory characteristics of a product by a panel. Recently, in response to industrial demands to develop faster and more cost-effective methods of descriptive analysis, several methods have been offered as alternatives to conventional profiling. Th...

assessment of human random number generation for biometric verification

random number generation is one of the human abilities. it is proven that the sequence of random numbers generated by people do not follow full randomness criteria. these numbers produced by brain activity seem to be completely non stationary. in this paper, we show that there is a distinction between the random numbers generated by different people who provides the discrimination capability, a...
