In human cervical cells, extracellular ATP induces an acute decrease in the resistance of the lateral intercellular space, the phase I response, followed by a delayed increase in tight junctional resistance, the phase II response. These responses depend on vitamin A because incubation of cells in retinoid-free medium (RFM) abolished both responses. Treatment with retinoic acid restored the phas...

In a highly competitive medical industry, hospitals can continue to create values and advantages using data mining technologies identify patients’ needs provide the services needed by various patients. This research focuses on outpatients in center Taiwan adopts recency, frequency, monetary (RFM) model, self-organizing maps, K-means method construct set of exploration procedures so that hospita...

Purpose: This research aims to do customer segmentation in retail companies by implementing the Recency Frequency Monetary (RFM) K-Means cluster model and algorithm optimized Elbow method.Methods: study uses several methods. The RFM method was chosen segment customers because it is one of optimal methods for segmenting customers. easy interpret, implement, fast convergence, adapt, but lacks sen...

Using the RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary value) model can provide valuable insights about customer clusters which is core of relationship management. Due to accurate segment coming from dynamic weighted applications, in-depth targeted marketing may also use type weight R, F and M as factors. In this paper, we present our approach intended improve performance segmentation by using factors var...

Though widely used, body mass index (BMI) is a heterogeneously performing marker of diabetes risk. Waist circumference-based measures more accurately capture central adiposity and thus can improve the assessment risk beyond BMI, but there limited evidence to guide their use in tailored screening guidelines many low- middle-income countries (LMICs). In this study, we sought assess relationships ...
