Development and Validation of a Nosocomial Infection Nomogram Model in the NICU: A Novel and Nurse-Led Way to Prediction in Preterm Infants by Shang Y, Chen L, Hu X, Zhang K, Cheng Q, Shui X, Deng Z

“…Bootstrap method was used to repeat 1,000 times for internal validation.Results: A total of 892 preterm infants were finally included and a nurse-led predictive model established, which included six variables: skin color changes, respiratory related changes, feeding deterioration, birth weight, number of arterial and venous blood draws, and days of nasogastric tube placement. The model’s AUC was 0.953, indicating good discriminatory power. …”

A quasi-one-dimensional ice mélange flow model based on continuum descriptions of granular materials by J. M. Amundson, A. A. Robel, J. C. Burton, K. Nissanka

“…Previous efforts have included modifying existing viscous ice shelf models, despite the fact that ice mélange is fundamentally a granular material, and running computationally expensive discrete element simulations. Here, we draw on laboratory studies of granular materials, which exhibit viscous flow when stresses greatly exceed the yield point, plug flow when the stresses approach the yield point, and exhibit stress transfer via force chains. …”
