Correlation Analysis of Human Immunological Indicators and Nosocomial Infections, Along With Evaluation Value for Prognosis by Cai-jun Wu, Jun Yan, Li-ping Sun, Lin-qin Ma, Lan Li, Jin Liu, Jia-qi Zhang, Yang Ren, Wei Bi

“…Conclusion: Patients with low CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ T lymphocyte or high NK cell count as well as high Charlton score are more likely to have nosocomial infection. Then, we speculate that the risk of nosocomial infection within 48 h is also high for patients with underlying diseases and immune function that is affected and suppressed on admission, regardless of whether infection occurs during hospitalization.…”

Application de la méthode QuickScan aux biens culturels non muséaux  by Inés Flores-Fernández

“…The objectives are to test the viability of the method in a non-museum environment, assess the loss of value through a global evaluation of the different typologies present in the parish and determine which are more vulnerable to the identified risks. Using the risk analysis methodology applied in museums, an Excel matrix is used to assign values and assess vulnerability to agents of deterioration, the result of which is to determine the level of risk and whether this methodology is effective in assessing as another agent the ‘cult function’ they perform, which is crucial for this category of property.…”

Adaptive Gaussian back-end based on LDOF criterion for language recognition by Zhong-fu YE, Ting QI, Sai-feng LI, Yan SONG

“…In order to alleviate the mismatch in model between training and testing samples caused by inter-language variations,adaptive Gaussian back-end based on LDOF criterion was proposed for language recognition.The local distance-based outlier factor (LDOF) criterion was defined to find the appropriate model parameters and dynamically select the training data subset similar to the testing samples from multiple class training sets.Then original back-end was adjusted to obtain a more matched recognition model.Experimental results on NIST LRE 2009 easily-confused language data set show that proposed method achieves an obvious performance improvement on both the equal error rate (ERR) and average decision cost function.…”
