We report results from a field study using the BART method for measuring available bandwidth in a local IP-network for use in train cars. The test was performed on physical hardware in a laboratory environment for a set of two cars. Test results indicate that BART measurement is viable.

This study examines the impact of peers’ previous cautious versus risky choices on adolescents’ risk-taking depending level information about risk. Adolescents completed an adaptation BART that manipulated social influence (cautious and risky) risk (i.e., informed, noninformed). Results showed impacts decisions noninformed but not informed BART. In BART, strongly decreased led to greater perfor...

PURPOSE About 10% of all gastric cancers (GCs) are Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated. However, the oncogene of EBV in gastric carcinogenesis has not yet been established. In the present study, we investigated the virus-derived transcripts in the EBV-infected GC cell line to explore the viral oncogene of EBV-positive GCs. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used the SNU719 cell line, a naturally derive...

BACKGROUND A rule-based system, the Braden Scale based Automated Risk Assessment Tool (BART), was developed to assess risk for pressure ulcer in a previous study. However, the BART illustrated two major areas in need of improvement, which were: 1) the enhancement of decision rules and 2) validation of generalizability to increase performance of BART. OBJECTIVES To enhance decision rules and v...

BACKGROUND The real-time monitoring of polynucleotide amplification is at the core of most molecular assays. This conventionally relies on fluorescent detection of the amplicon produced, requiring complex and costly hardware, often restricting it to specialised laboratories. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here we report the first real-time, closed-tube luminescent reporter system for nucleic acid amplifi...

Techniques to reduce the energy burden of an industrial ecosystem often require solving a multiobjective optimization problem. However, collecting experimental data can be either expensive or time-consuming. In such cases, statistical methods helpful. This article proposes Pareto Front (PF) and Set (PS) estimation using Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART), which is nonparametric model who...
