If the standard deviation of distribution MIC values for a set wild-type isolates exceeds 1.18 log 2 μg/mL when calculated by NRI analysis or 1.11 ECOFFinder that data should be considered imprecise and not used to an epidemiological cut-off value.

We give algorithms for the directed minimum odd or even cut problem and certain generalizations. Our algorithms improve on the previous best ones of Goemans and Ramakrishnan by a factor of O(n) (here n is the size of the ground vertex set). Our improvements apply among others to the minimum directed Todd or T-even cut and to the directed minimum Steiner cut problems. The (slightly more general)...

in order to study the relationship between random boolean sets and some explanatory variables, this paper introduces a propagation model. this model can be applied when corresponding poisson process of the boolean model is related to explanatory variables and the random grains are not affected by these variables. an approximation for the likelihood is used to find pseudo-maximum likelihood esti...
