Background: Type 1 diabetes is one of the chronic metabolic disorders among children and adolescents. Peers are also important units in diabetes management through adolescence. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of peer-based intervention in managing type 1 diabetes mellitus among children and adolescents.   Methods: Searching articles published prior to December 2013 in Pub...

Random forests are a popular classification method based on an ensemble of a single type of decision trees from subspaces of data. In the literature, there are many different types of decision tree algorithms, including C4.5, CART, and CHAID. Each type of decision tree algorithm may capture different information and structure. This paper proposes a hybrid weighted random forest algorithm, simul...

background : data mining has an interdisciplinary field including various scientific disciplines such as: database systems, statistics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and the others. in the field of medical, data mining algorithms can help physicians to diagnose diseases and chose the best type of treatment. hepatocellular carcinoma has the most common type of liver cancer. given the...

We revisit here a landmark five-parameter SIR-type model, which is maybe the simplest example where complete picture of all cases, including non-trivial bistability behavior, may be obtained using simple tools. also generalize it by adding essential vaccination and vaccination-induced death parameters, with aim revealing role its possible failure. The main result Theorem 1, describes stability ...

The existence of sustainability has changed businesses running their business. implementation this new concept tremendously affected in many industries, including the fashion industry. Many big companies are applying to production process. It is intended create accountability for environment and people. Fashion as second largest contributor wastewater world started use more sustainable safer ra...

We present a chosen-plaintext attack on KIST, a recently proposed encryption scheme based on splay trees. Our attack recovers a 128-bit key with approximately 2 bit operations and fewer than 2 chosen-plaintext queries. Splay trees are a type of binary search search trees discovered by Sleator and Tarjan in 1983 [1, 2]. Splay trees are self-adjusting, in the sense that a tree modifies itself at ...

We provide a well-supported phylogenetic hypothesis for all recognized lineages of the Liolaemus kriegi complex based on a multilocus dataset. We used 29 individuals from the eight taxa included in this complex for which we sequenced eight gene regions (two mitochondrial and six nuclear). We implemented maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods for the mitochondrial, nuclear, and concat...
