In research fields like informetrics or patent research, international comparisons are part of their core business. One class measures used in such consists affinity indices. Here, relations shares calculated to express the relation between two actors X and Y. Even though this group indices already has many members, we think that based on pure logic, they still miss point. For reason, introduce...

Chronic cough and chest pain should be dealt seriously in a young adult. Sometimes we may miss a diagnosis in such patients. We present a case of Pulmonary Langerhans Histiocytosis who presented with complaints of cough and chest pain

Most of the data used in this inquiry were collected or abstracted from existing records by Mrs. Eileen Armstrong, Miss Ann Cooper, Miss Ida Giles, Mrs. Betty Mann, and the health visitors of the City of Birmingham, with the help of Miss Milner, Miss Greening, and Miss Cook.

Abstract. An evaluation of a model's overall performance in simulating multiple fields is fundamental to model intercomparison and development. A multivariable integrated (MVIE) method was proposed previously based on vector field (VFE) diagram, which can provide quantitative comprehensive fields. In this study, we make further improvements from the following aspects. (1) We take area weighting...

In this paper we propose a fully automatic algorithm for coronary artery extraction from X-ray data (3DCT scan, 64 detectors). Growing and thresholding methods, in their most general form, are not su cient to extract only the whole coronary arteries, because of the properties of these images [1]. Finding appropriate methods is known to be a challenging problem because of the data imperfections ...

Missing data are pervasive in alcohol and drug abuse prevention evaluation efforts: Researchers administer surveys, and some items are left un-answered. Slow readers often leave large portions incomplete at the end of the survey. Researchers administer the surveys at several points in time, and people fail to show up at one or more waves of measurement. Researchers often design their measures t...

In this chapter ten cases are presented in an effort to demonstrate what may be expected from the H-T-P in clinical practice. The attempt has been to select: (1) cases representative of as many different syndromes as possible in the limited space available; (2) cases that illustrate most of the quantitative and qualitative scoring points; (3) cases whose H-T-P's are not markedly atypical (far m...
