CASE STUDIES Improved Method to Calculate a Water Poverty Index at Local Scale
The Water Poverty Index WPI was created as an interdisciplinary indicator to assess water stress and scarcity, linking physical estimates of water availability with the socioeconomic drivers of poverty. This index has found great relevance in policy making as an effective water management tool, particularly in resources allocation and prioritization processes. Two conceptual weaknesses exist in...
متن کاملAn improved method to calculate paediatric skull fracture threshold
There is a need to better understand the threshold for paediatric skull fracture. Historically, drop tests of cadaver heads have been used to estimate thresholds. However, societal and ethical considerations prevent tests with child cadavers. Therefore, researchers have attempted to estimate the threshold by scaling adult tolerance data. Recent work suggests that mass and material scaling of ad...
متن کاملReduced time points to calculate the composite index.
S ince the original publication of the composite (Matsuda) index for the measurement of insulin sensitivity from plasma glucose and insulin concentrations during the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) (1), this index has been widely used by investigators throughout the world. According to Scopus, more than 1,000 articles have cited the original article (1) during the last 10 years, and several ...
متن کاملLow avidity antibody: a reliable method to diagnose a recent HIV-1 infection.
Standard serological tests (both EIA and Immunoblotting) have reached high levels of sensitivity and reproducibility, but do not indicate whether infection is recent or longstanding. Since many patients with HIV-1 infection are not usually diagnosed until symptom presentation, the possibility to distinguish between acute and chronic infection has become increasingly important for the purposes o...
متن کاملA Method to Calculate Class Decision Fu
This paper deals with the concept of correlation in multi-classifier fusion tasks. The need to encapsulate the degree of correlation stems from the notion that the least amount of correlation among the classifiers is desired in fusion tasks. We define a measure that captures the correlation for n classifiers for binary output. In addition, we propose correlation calculation for classifiers with...
