For a long time credit risk assessment has been regarded as one kind of classification issue of pattern identification, which could not fully meet the requirements of credit risk decision-making. In view of the connotation of credit risk, it is put forward that the probability that credit capital becomes bad debt and the relativity of credit risk should be taken into consideration to assess cre...

Bridges built from any material and having any special shape  will eventually show signs of wearing off; therefore, there are several factors in the kind and rate of such wearing off and its expansion such as atmosphere, flood, earthquake, overload, design quality, execution and kind of materials that will all reduce the functionality of the structures. Thus, maintaining processes and repairing...

In the biped robot’s walking process, walking parameters have important influence on its stability. In this article we based on the ZMP criterion, using the relationship between ZMP and the support area to judge the walking stability. Calculate the size of stability margin to analyze the influence of parameters’ change on stability. By programming in MATLAB and simulating in ADAMS, get the effe...

The cut-point for diagnosing impaired fasting glucose (IFG) had been dispute, as reports about the associated clinical events are inconsistent. This meta-analysis evaluated the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in association with different criterion of IFG according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) or the World Health Organization (WHO) Expert Group. We included prospective cohort...

BACKGROUND Several authors have correlated the increase of cardiovascular risk with the nutritional status, however there are different criteria for the classification of overweight and obesity in children. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the performance of three nutritional classification criteria in children, as definers of the presence of obesity and predictors of high blood pressure in schoolchild...

Recently, microarray-based cancer diagnosis systems have been increasingly investigated. However, cost reduction and reliability assurance of such diagnosis systems are still remaining problems in real clinical scenes. To reduce the cost, we need a supervised classifier involving the smallest number of genes, as long as the classifier is sufficiently reliable. To achieve a reliable classifier, ...

We present the comparison of two control criteria for the real-time management of a water well field. The criteria were used to simulate the operation of the Hardhof well field in the city of Zurich, Switzerland. This well field is threatened by diffuse pollution in the subsurface of the surrounding city area. The risk of attracting pollutants is higher if the pumping rates in four horizontal w...

Objectives To identify existing instruments for rating peers (professional colleagues) in medical practice and to evaluate them in terms of how they have been developed, their validity and reliability, and their appropriateness for use in clinical settings, including primary care. Design Systematic literature review. Data sources Electronic search techniques, snowball sampling, and corresponden...
