Introduction to biostatistics
This document provides an overview of biostatistics and different types of variables and data. It defines biostatistics as the application of statistical methods to biological and health data. It discusses qualitative and quantitative variables and different types of each. Qualitative variables are categorical and include binary, nominal, and ordinal variables. Quantitative variables are numerical and include continuous and discrete data. The document also outlines different types of data: nominal data involves names or labels without order; ordinal data adds order; interval data involves equal distances on a scale; and ratio data has a true zero point and ratios can be calculated.
Design pro forma (Tasks 3,4 & 5)
This document discusses initial ideas for developing an advertising campaign for an energy drink. Four potential ideas are outlined: 1) targeting older demographics with a health-focused drink, 2) targeting females with bright but professional packaging, 3) an extra-strong energy drink for students, and 4) an energy drink targeted at children with bright colors and collectible packaging. Additional concepts are explored in mind maps, including drink flavors, themes, and potential brand names. Color schemes, fonts, and target audiences are considered to determine the best design approach.
Task 6
NME, Q Magazine, and Mojo Magazine represent individuals, groups, genders, ages, and social issues in different ways based on their target demographics. NME targets a younger audience (15-25) so features younger cover stars and more images. Q and Mojo target an older audience (29+) so include both young and classic artists. All three magazines represent genders equally and avoid stereotypes to allow readers to form their own opinions. Technical elements like page count and house style vary between the magazines based on their weekly or monthly publication schedules and intended audiences.

Predicting Life Expectancy of Hepatitis B Patients
The goal of this project is to find the best tool for predicting the life expectancy of people with Hepatitis B. Different Machine Learning methods have been completely studied and various Machine Learning methods have been carried out by different experimenters. Hepatitis B is a worldwide disease with a high mortality rate. Different methods have been used by different researchers to predict the life expectancy of Hepatitis B patients. The Machine Learning models and algorithms such as the Classification model, Logistic Regression model, Recursive Feature Elimination Algorithm, Cirrhosis Mortality model, Extreme Gradient Boosting, Random Forest, Decision Tree have been utilized by different researchers to predict the life expectancy of Hepatitis B patients. Some algorithms and models showed very interesting and proving results whereas some were not that good. Area Under Curve analysis was used to assess the estimation of various models. The AUROC value of the PSO model was minimal, while the ADT model had the highest accuracy. XGBoost showed appropriate predictive performance. All other models showed good calibration.
Diagnosis Support by Machine Learning Using Posturography Data
Machine learning algorithms can help analyze posturography data to diagnose vestibular dysfunction. An evaluation of various algorithms found that gradient boosting had the best performance with an AUC of 0.90. While deep learning did not perform best, optimizing algorithm parameters is important. Larger, multi-institutional clinical datasets may improve machine learning's ability to accurately diagnose vestibular disorders from posturography data.

This document discusses algorithms for reconstructing Gaussian quantum states from measurement data. It introduces direct reconstruction, iterative maximum likelihood, and iterative conditional expectation techniques. Direct reconstruction estimates the covariance matrix directly from measurement data. Iterative maximum likelihood finds the state parameters that make the data most probable by iteratively updating estimates. Iterative conditional expectation takes guesses for the state and simulates missing data to iteratively improve the estimates. Future work includes proving convergence of the iterative techniques and ensuring estimated states satisfy uncertainty principles.
Clinical Prediction Rules
This document discusses clinical prediction rules (CPRs), which are decision tools used by clinicians to predict outcomes. It covers the development, validation, and functions of CPRs. Specifically, it outlines 8 standards for developing a CPR, including clearly defining outcomes and predictors, ensuring reliability of predictors, having an adequate sample size, and accurately measuring a CPR's performance. An example CPR for ankle fractures is used to illustrate the development process. The document emphasizes the importance of prospectively validating CPRs in new populations before implementation, to assess their accuracy outside the initial study.

This document discusses the implementation of decision support methods and tools to improve the management of breast cancer patients. It describes how multidisciplinary tumor boards discuss treatment plans for patients but that guidelines do not cover all cases. The DESIREE project aims to provide recommendations using multiple reasoning approaches: guideline-based using formalized guidelines, data-based using predictive algorithms on large patient databases, and case-based using similarity measures between patient cases. One tool discussed is OncoDoc, a guideline-based clinical decision support system shown to increase compliance with guidelines in multiple studies over 18 years.
Importance of instumental analysis
This document discusses the importance of instrumental analysis methods in conjunction with traditional analytical techniques. It provides an overview of fundamental principles of instrumental measurements and how they can be applied to specific chemical analyses. Key aspects covered include the differences between analytical techniques and methods, important terms, developing a method of analysis by defining the problem, sampling, sample preparation, performing measurements, and comparing results to standards. The overall message is that instrumental methods provide modern solutions to analytical problems when used appropriately alongside traditional methods.
Sample and effect size
- Sample size should be neither too small nor too large, but rather an optimal size that adequately represents the population. It can be calculated using factors like availability of funds, time, nature of study, and sampling technique.
- There are two main approaches to determining sample size: one based on precision and confidence level using formulas, and one based on Bayesian statistics. Effect size indicates how meaningful a relationship or group difference is, and can be small, medium, or large. It is calculated in various ways depending on the statistical test.
Validity andreliability
- Reliability is a measure of reproducibility of a test when repeated, quantifying random error. Validity is how well a test measures what it intends to, requiring comparison to a criterion.
- Reliability is typically quantified by the typical error or intraclass correlation. Validity uses correlation and error of estimate from regression of the test on a criterion.
- Both reliability and validity should be high for a test to accurately track small individual changes over time and distinguish individuals. Ideal values are >0.96 for reliability and validity correlations and typical/estimate errors <20% of between-subject standard deviation.
CHE Seminar 20 November 2013
This document discusses developing appropriate methods for handling missing data in health economic evaluations. It covers:
- Missing data is common in cost-effectiveness analyses due to patient loss to follow-up and incomplete questionnaires, but is often not adequately addressed.
- Multiple imputation is recommended over other methods as it recognizes the uncertainty in imputed values and can handle missing data in both outcomes and covariates. It provides a flexible framework for sensitivity analyses.
- Sensitivity analyses are important to assess how inferences may change under different assumptions about the missing data mechanism, such as departures from the missing at random assumption. Selection models and pattern-mixture models are two approaches discussed.

Understanding Electricity Video Questions
This document contains a list of 5 questions about different forms of electricity production and transmission: what electricity is, what a power grid is, how water is used to produce electricity, how solar panels work, and what geothermal power is and how it is produced. The questions are meant to guide further reading and understanding of these important topics in electricity.
2 1 Csrq
Electric charges interact through electric forces. Protons and electrons attract each other, while like charges repel. J.J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897. Electric charges create electric fields and exert electric forces, similar to how magnetic poles create magnetic fields and forces. Static electricity builds up when surfaces are rubbed together, transferring electrons between objects. It can then be transferred through direct contact, an electric spark, or induction. Static is discharged when a spark transfers charge to equalize an imbalance, such as lightning during a thunderstorm.
Albert Einstein
The document provides biographical and scientific details about Albert Einstein. It discusses that he was born in Germany in 1879 and died in 1955, and that he made seminal contributions to 20th century physics through his theories of special and general relativity. It summarizes that the special theory of relativity abandoned the concept of the luminiferous ether and established that the speed of light is constant, and that the general theory of relativity described gravity as a consequence of the curvature of spacetime.
Inside A Magnet
Inside a Magnet, atoms in most materials point randomly, canceling magnetic fields. But when atoms align, they form magnetic domains that create magnetism. When many domains point the same direction, the material magnetizes. Ferromagnetic materials like iron, nickel and cobalt show strong magnetism from aligned domains. Alloy and ferrite magnets are also magnetic but stronger and cheaper than metal magnets. Magnets form by placing unmagnetized ferromagnetic material near a strong magnet or rubbing it with a magnet pole. Temporary magnets easily magnetize but demagnetize, while permanent magnets are hard to magnetize but keep magnetism longer. Magnets destroy through impacts, heating, or breaking into smaller aligned domain pieces.
Magnetic Earth Review And Reinforce
1. The document is a worksheet about magnetism and Earth's magnetic field.
2. It asks students to label parts of a diagram showing Earth's magnetic field and to answer questions about how Earth is like a magnet and whether a compass points to the geographic or magnetic north pole.
3. It also defines key vocabulary terms related to Earth's magnetic field and the solar wind, such as compass, magnetic declination, aurora, Van Allen belts, magnetosphere, and solar wind.
Magnetic Earth
Sir William Gilbert hypothesized in the late 1500s that Earth acts as a giant magnet, explaining why compasses point north. While Earth's core is too hot to be the source of magnetism, the circulation of molten material in the core is related to Earth's magnetic field. Earth's magnetic poles are located in northern Canada and Antarctica, differing from the geographic poles. Earth's magnetic field can magnetize ferromagnetic materials like iron over long periods of time.
Inside A Magnet
The document discusses magnetism at the atomic level. It explains that magnetic domains are groups of atoms whose magnetic fields are aligned, allowing some materials to become magnetized when most or all domains are similarly oriented. It provides examples of ferromagnetic materials like iron and cobalt that strongly exhibit magnetism due to aligned domains. Magnets can be made by placing unmagnetized ferromagnetic materials in strong magnetic fields or by rubbing them with magnet poles, and can be destroyed by impacts, heating, or breaking them into smaller magnet pieces.
1.3 Magnetic Earth Csrq Notes
This document discusses the earth's magnetic field and how it was studied and understood over time. It asks questions about William Gilbert's hypotheses about compasses and the earth's core in the 1500s. The earth behaves similarly to a bar magnet, with Gilbert originally thinking the core was made of sulfur but it is actually made of iron and nickel which helps create the magnetic field. The magnetic and geographic poles are not in the same locations. Magnetic declination changes over time and was important for navigators to understand. The earth forms magnets from ferromagnetic material and leaves a record of its changing magnetic field over time. The magnetosphere is shaped by solar winds and protects the inner Van Allen radiation belts. Solar wind particles enter the atmosphere at
Atomic Theory Notes
Atomic theory states that atoms have 3 main parts: protons and neutrons are contained at the center in the nucleus, electrons orbit around the outside of the nucleus in shells, and most of the atom is empty space with electrons orbiting far from the nucleus.

Introduction To Magnetism Journal Page 1 With Answers
Magnetic domains are series of atoms that point their poles in the same direction, making up a bar magnet. Some animals can navigate using Earth's magnetic fields because magnetite in their brains aligns with these fields. Magnetic reversal could change lives and preparations could help, like magnetic resonance imaging revolutionizing healthcare by detecting tumors earlier than x-rays via magnetic fields. Magnetic levitation vehicles are propelled by alternating strong repulsive and attractive magnetic forces that lift and move them.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
