Correlation measures are a key element of statistics and machine learning, and essential for a wide range of data analysis tasks. Most existing correlation measures are for pairwise relationships, but real-world data can also exhibit complex multivariate correlations, involving three or more variables. We argue that multivariate correlation measures should be comparable, interpretable, scalable...

A new method for autoradiographic measurement of unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) in the skin in vivo after treatment with ultraviolet light (UV) was developed. The skin of the back of ICR mice was shaved and exposed to short-wave UV (254 nm) or UVAB (sunlamp, 270 to 440 nm, predominant emission at 312 nm) at various doses. Immediately after irradiation, an isotonic aqueous solution of [methyl-3...

Down's syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal abnormality in human. Subjects with DS are known to be peridisposed to develop leukemia. The molecular basis of the association between DS and leukemia is unknown. The unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) test measure the ability of DNA-repair in mammalian cells after excision of a stretch of DNA containing the region of damage induced by chemical ...

A variety of methods are commonly used to quantify animal home ranges using location data acquired with telemetry. High-volume location data from global positioning system (GPS) technology provide researchers the opportunity to identify various intensities of use within home ranges, typically quantified through utilization distributions (UDs). However, the wide range of variability evident with...

Interactions of novobiocin (NB) and nalidixic acid (NA) with thiols were investigated in vitro in thymic (T-) and splenic (S-) cells of the rat, by determining nucleic acid synthesis as well as nucleoid sedimentation and viscosity of alkaline cell lysates. In T-cells NB, at concentrations of 0.35-1.4 mM, increased unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) and RNA synthesis (RNS), whereas S-cells underwen...

A infecção pelo Vírus da Hepatite C (VHC) é uma causa importante de doença hepática e grave problema saúde pública, têm prevalência aumentada em serviços diálise, necessitando efetivamente estratégias para sua eliminação. Objetivou-se propor um fluxograma enfermagem, desenhado identificar, diagnosticar encaminhar tratamento do VHC os portadores Doença Renal Crônica (DRC), utilizando o Processo ...

Abstract Aim Urodynamic studies (UDS) are physiological measurements of voiding and storage function the lower urinary tract that commonly performed in clinical practice to investigate bothersome symptoms. Despite considerable efforts improve UDS, standardisation remains be challenging. This audit thus, presents a review current UDS referral process analysis details included on urodynamic reque...

[Abstract] MSC NASTRAN User Defined Services (UDS) and PATRAN were applied to perform load-displacement analysis of ACCC, a new type of power cable with hybrid composites reinforced core. PATRAN was used to model the geometry of the hybrid composites core, and MSC NASTRAN was implemented to analyze the load-displacement behavior of the structure. MSC NASTRAN UDS subroutine UMAT was used to prov...

We explored tobacco use across federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and compared data on state-level tobacco use between FQHC patients and the general population. We used data from the Uniform Data System (UDS) and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) to generate estimates of 2013 prevalence of tobacco use among adults aged 18 years or older. According to UDS data, the o...

VIDEBAS is a relational database management system in which a database consists of two parts, namely a “real-only” and an “update” part. The first part remains unmodified until the next reorganization and exploits redundancy to achieve fast access to data. A prototype of VIDEBAS has been built. In this paper a performance comparison between this relational system and a DBTG-system (UDS) is made...
