Background: Presenting results of diagnostic test accuracy research so that it is accessible to users is challenging. Commonly used accuracy measures (e.g. sensitivity and specificity) are poorly understood by health professionals and the public. Evidence suggests that presenting probabilities as natural frequencies rather than percentages facilitates understanding. We present a test consequenc...

An integer sequence π is said to be graphic if it is the degree sequence of some simple graph G. In this case we say that G is a realization of π. Given a graph H, and a graphic sequence π we say that π is potentially H-graphic if there is some realization of π that contains H as a subgraph. We define σ(H, n) to be the minimum even integer such that every graphic sequence with sum at least σ(H,...

This paper presents the SIGHT (Summarizing Information GrapHics Textually) system that enables visually impaired users to gain access to information graphics that appear on a web page. The user interface is implemented as a browser extension that is launched by a keystroke combination. The output of SIGHT is a textual summary of the graphic, the core content of which is the hypothesized intende...

Two of the most widely used programs for the control of behavioral experiments are Med Associates' MedState Notation and Coulbourn Instruments' Graphic State 2. The two systems vary considerably in their approach to programming and data recording, with Graphic State 2 using a point-and-click interface that appeals to non-programmers while MedState Notation requires the typing of programming cod...

We prove that for fixed bipartite circle graph H, all line graphs with sufficiently large rank-width (or clique-width) must contain an isomorphic copy of H as a pivotminor. To prove this, we introduce graphic delta-matroids. Graphic delta-matroids are minors of delta-matroids of line graphs and they generalize graphic or cographic matroids.

For given a graph H , a graphic sequence π = (d1, d2, · · · , dn) is said to be potentially H-graphic if there exists a realization of π containing H as a subgraph. In this paper, we characterize the potentially K6 − C5 -graphic sequences .

This paper focuses on integration of graphic and touch screen in Human Machine Interface using PIC24FJ256DA210 microcontroller which has integrated graphic controller. In this paper we have successfully implemented graphic and touch screen to control various kind of devices such as relay, speed and direction control of motor and input sensors which are key components for making HMI which is use...

This study investigated if different response formats (test methods) measure reading comprehension of expository text differently. The study was conducted with 48 semester 6 TESL students at a university in Selangor, Malaysia. These students received an expository passage having descriptive rhetorical structure followed by three response formats, namely, incomplete outline, graphic organizer, a...

In this paper the need for employing a data reduction algorithm in using digital graphic systems to display biomedical signals is firstly addressed and then, some such algorithms are compared from different points of view (such as complexity, real time feasibility, etc.). Subsequently, it is concluded that Turning Point algorithm can be a suitable one for real time implementation on a microproc...
