BACKGROUND Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a septic complication that is not easily diagnosed. The purpose of the study is to obtain a scoring system to diagnose DIC in sepsis. SUBJECT AND METHODS An observational study with a cross-sectional design was performed at the Department of Internal Medicine, University of Indonesia, Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital from Febru...

 Abstract Background: Clinical Risk Index of Babies (CRIB), Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology (SNAP), an update of the Clinical Risk Index for Babies score (CRIB II) and Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology - Perinatal Extension (SNAP-PE) are scoring devices developed in neonatal intensive care units. This study reviewed these scoring systems in critically ill neonates to determine how well th...

Objective: This study aimed to Prepare an educational program based on the overlap and the integration of the random exercise method with the variable exercise method and the intensive exercise method adapted to the capabilities of the research sample and Recognize the effect of the educational program on developing the skill performance and scoring accuracy of the research sample in the futsal...

Proteins bind DNA through combinations of DNA base and shape recognition1. DNA base recognition refers to a unique arrangement of protein interactions with functional groups on the four DNA bases. Shape recognition refers to protein interactions with specific twists and turns of short stretches of DNA that may deviate from the average three-dimensional shape of B-form DNA. A recent study by Zen...

BACKGROUND In order to identify novel chemical classes of β-secretase (BACE-1) inhibitors, an alternative scoring protocol, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), was proposed to summarize most of the information from the original scoring functions and re-rank the results from the virtual screening against BACE-1. METHOD Given a training set (50 BACE-1 inhibitors and 9950 inactive diverse compou...

Computational docking is the core process of computer-aided drug design; it aims at predicting the best orientation and conformation of a small molecule (drug ligand) when bound to a target large receptor molecule (protein) in order to form a stable complex molecule. The docking quality is typically measured by a scoring function: a mathematical predictive model that produces a score representi...

Automatic home respiratory polygraphy (HRP) scoring functions can potentially confirm the diagnosis of sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome (SAHS) (obviating technician scoring) in a substantial number of patients. The result would have important management and cost implications. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic cost-effectiveness of a sequential HRP scoring protocol (automatic ...

Scoring rules are a broad and concisely-representable class of voting rules which includes, for example, Plurality and Borda. Our main result asserts that the class of scoring rules, as functions from preferences into candidates, is efficiently learnable in the PAC model. We discuss the applications of this result to automated design of scoring rules. We also investigate possible extensions of ...

Customer credit scoring is a typical class of pattern classification problem with imbalanced dataset. A new customer credit scoring method based on the support vector domain description (SVDD) classification model was proposed in this paper. Main techniques of customer credit scoring were reviewed. The SVDD model with imbalanced dataset was analyzed and the predication method of customer credit...
