CONTEXT Preventive medicine has historically favored reducing a risk factor by a small amount in the entire population rather than by a large amount in high-risk individuals. The use of multivariable risk prediction tools, however, may affect the relative merits of this strategy. METHODS This study uses risk factor data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III to simulate...

Interactive Narrative in game environments acts as the main catalyst to provide a motivating learning experience. In previous work, we have described how the use of a dual narrative generation technique could help to resolve the conflict between allowing high player student agency and also the track of the learning process. In this paper, we define a novel architecture that assists the dual nar...

The paper discusses the prospects for increased use of administrative sources as the basis for population and housing censuses. The background for this discussion is the case story of how Danish statistics production was reformed during the period c. 1966–1981, especially with regard to social statistics and population and housing censuses.

The modified Becke-Johnson exchange potential [F. Tran and P. Blaha, Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 226401 (2009)] (TB-mBJ) is tested on various types of solids which are difficult to describe theoretically: nonmagnetic semiconducting transition-metal oxides and sulfides, metals (Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu), and (anti)ferromagnetic insulators (e.g., YBa2Cu3O6). The results for the band gap and other quantities ...
