Abstract:

Objective: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with various immunopathophysiological pathways. Therefore, several inflammatory, hematological and immunological biomarkers are essential for diagnosis, prognosis, and survival of COPD. Among these inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), neutrophil, lymphocyte and platelet counts were shown to have strong correlations with prognosis, survival and mortality. Recently, a novel inflammatory marker stated as systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) were presented as the most accurate in predicting inflammatory st

Abstract:

Introduction: The most desirable linear neutral prediction (BLUP) is a standard method for estimating the random effects of a hybrid model. This approach was originally developed in animal breeding to estimate breeding values and is now widely used in many fields of research. The main practical advantages of using REML/BLUP are: It allows the comparison of individuals or species over time (generation, year) and space (location, block). Possibility of simultaneous correction of environmental effects, estimation of variance components, and prediction of genetic values. The best BLUP prediction m

Abstract:

Abstract A new hazard index is presented to estimate and rank hurricane severity according to a storm’s damage and death toll after landfall on the continental United States. The index uses three characteristic meteorological aspects of hurricanes: wind, torrential rainfall, and storm surge, each with an individual subindex. Rainfall is identified as an important and frequently dominant hazard in terms of damage and death toll, but is not included in any current hazard scales or indices. The new rainfall subindex adopts rainfall intensity, storm rainfall area, and the forward speed of the syst

Abstract:

For design and maintenance of wireless network, node importance evaluation is a crucial issue. But if we evaluate it with single index, result may be unilateral. If we evaluate it with different indexes simultaneously, inconsistent of results may occur. To solve these problems, a compositive evaluation method based on radar chart is proposed as well as relevant evaluation indexes. With this method, evaluation indexes are showed graphically and node importance is evaluated from different viewpoints. In this way, a compositive evaluation result can be gotten according to the size of area shaped

This study aims to determine the diversity index and the importance value index of herbaceous plants found around the Joko Tarub Forest Tuban. The type of research is quantitative descriptive with a sampling method using the quadrat technique. The quadrates were made with a size of 1 x 1 m as many as 10, as a measurement area. The data collection technique was carried out by recording the names of plants and their numbers found in each quadrat. In addition, the area covered by each plant in the quadrat was also calculated. The data analysis was carried out by calculating the density of species

Abstract:

The paper presents the results on the study of the possible application of the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index and the Modified Angstrom Index in forest fire risk assessments. The daily values of these indices for the period 2005-2015 were related to the forest fire database. It was found that there is a relatively weak to moderate correlation between forest fires and the values of the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index. In order to improve the wildfire risk assessments (including forest fires), the index was modified. The modified index has a significantly greater correlation with the actu

Abstract:

The importance analysis of a structural system with distribution parameter uncertainty can identify key parameters that significantly affect its output performance, thus providing importance guidance for its design and optimization. However, the traditional importance analysis method requires the three-loop Monte Carlo sampling to estimate the importance measurement index of a distribution parameter with such output characteristic values as mean and variance, whose computational cost is too large. To solve this problem, two efficient cubature formula methods based on the surrogate sampling pro

Abstract:

Let G be a simple, connected and undirected graph. The atom-bond connectivity index (ABC(G)) and Randić index (R(G)) are the two most well known topological indices. Recently, Ali and Du (2017) introduced the difference between atom-bond connectivity and Randić indices, denoted as ABC−R index. In this paper, we determine the fourth, the fifth and the sixth maximum chemical trees values of ABC−R for chemical trees, and characterize the corresponding extremal graphs. We also obtain an upper bound for ABC−R index of such trees with given number of pendant vertices. The role of symmetry has great

Abstract:

Since ancient times, drought has been one of the worst natural disasters that humanity has experienced. Drought, which is likely to occur locally or regionally can be defined as the lack of precipitation in a certain period of time. Objectively determining long-term droughts in advance enables taking measures against drought. Estimation of drought is of great importance in order to reduce the socio-economic, agricultural, and environmental negative effects that drought may cause. One method used in determining drought is the drought indices, which are found with the help of precipitation value

Turning to the analysis of risk and protection factors of the learning environment, the role of the teacher remains unexplored. Among various characteristics of the teacher, it is necessary to highlight the importance of a special class of phenomena - values and value orientations. Values form a holistic motivational structure and integrate into one system with other components, such as attitudes and behavior. The purpose of this study is to understand the influence of the values of the teacher on the socio-psychological safety of the classroom. The focus of the study is on the following quest

Abstract:

The uncertainty of parameters will have a significant impact on slope stability, where sensitivity analysis is a commonly used method in uncertainty research. However, traditional sensitivity analysis method costs much computation time. When calculating the sensitivity index of one parameter, all other parameters are taken as fixed values, and the uncertainty of all parameters cannot be considered simultaneously. Therefore, the variance-based and the moment-independent global sensitivity analysis (GSA) methods are both introduced to determine the influence of geotechnical parameters on slope s
