Classification with Incomplete Data

Many real-word classification scenarios suffer a common drawback: missing, or incomplete, data. The ability of missing data handling has become a fundamental requirement for pattern classification because the absence of certain values for relevant data attributes can seriously affect the accuracy of classification results. This chapter focuses on incomplete pattern classification. The research works on this topic currently grows wider and it is well known how useful and efficient are most of the solutions based on machine learning. This chapter analyzes the most popular and proper missing data techniques based on machine learning for solving pattern classification tasks, trying to highlight their advantages and disadvantages.

Examining a new functional electrical stimulation therapy with people with severe upper extremity hemiparesis and chronic stroke: A feasibility study

Introduction Upper extremity impairment post-stroke is common and results in decreased occupational engagement. For those with chronic stroke and severe hemiparesis, few treatment options are available. MyndMove™ is a functional electrical stimulation technology programmed to stimulate up to eight muscle groups in reach and grip patterns. A pre–post, cohort, feasibility study was conducted to inform the design of a randomized controlled trial examining the effectiveness of MyndMove™ therapy. Method Individuals enrolled had chronic severe upper extremity hemiparesis following a stroke (> 6 months) with Chedoke-McMaster Stroke Assessment Stage 1–2 (arm and hand) and a Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity score less than 19. Treatment with Myndmove™, consisting of 20 one-hour sessions, 3–5 times per week over 4–6 weeks was provided. Results Of 25 enrolled participants, 24 (96%) completed treatment. Fifty-eight percent (14/24) of the participants demonstrated improvement equal to or exceeding the minimal clinically important difference of five on the Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity test. Mean change from baseline Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity overall score was 7.1 (SD 5.0) (p < 0.001). Mean time to complete treatment was 40 days (SD 6.0). Conclusion MyndMove™ therapy is feasible to deliver within outpatient settings and may be a suitable function-based treatment option for severe chronic stroke upper extremity impairment.

Analysis and Classification of Muscle Activity During Biceps Exercise Using MMG Signals

Surface Mechanomyography (MMG) is the recording of mechanical activity of muscle tissue. MMG measures the mechanical signal (vibration of muscle) that generated from the muscles during contraction or relaxation action. This project is determined to focus on the study and develop suitable procedures and methods to analyze and classify muscle activity during biceps exercise using MMG Signals. There are two channels of MMG signal has been placed into biceps brachii muscles (Short Head Biceps Brachii and Long Head Biceps Brachii) by using VMG sensor (TSD250A) with two different weights. Five features have been selected and utilized to proceed with analysis and classification in this project. These features were root mean square (RMS), standard deviation (STD), root sum square (RSSQ), peak to peak value, and peak absolute value to root mean square ratio. The analysis and classification is divided into two sections, which are comparison between different training data set proportion for Back-Propagation Artificial Neural Network (BPANN) and analysis of MMG signal with different weights. The finding of the result shows, the BPANN proposed was able to classify all samples in to the target output with an average accuracy above 80%.

End-organ protection in cardiac surgery

Mortality and morbidity postcardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remain relative stable over the last decades, while the number of patients with increased comorbidity and more complex cardiac disease increases. Nevertheless, end-organ dysfunction and/or failure remain an issue. Multiple perioperative variables, such as non-optimal oxygen delivery, manipulation of the aorta, hyperlactatemia, type of anesthesia, surgical procedure and myocardial protection can be hold responsible for end-organ failure postcardiac surgery. However, it becomes more and more evident that also pre-existing factors, such as metabolic syndrome, renal insufficiency, hypertension, stroke and infection exacerbate mortality and morbidity. Unfortunately, these predisposing risk factors cannot be influenced perioperatively. Therefore, therapy should focus on controlling perioperative variables that, in combination with the predisposing factors, will further exacerbate organ dysfunction. In order to achieve this, more emphasis should be given to a patient-specific, goal-directed perfusion approach. This review will mainly focus on the impact of perioperative variables.
COMPARING APPLES WITH APPLES: THE IMPORTANCE OF ELEMENT WORDING IN GRID APPLICATIONS

Elements form a key component of all repertory grid applications. Outside of the clinical context, the majority of applied research still relies on conventional role titles, objects, events, and situation elements for construct elicitation, limiting alternative applications of the technique. This article draws attention to a neglected topic in the grid literature by addressing the importance of element form and wording when eliciting personal constructs. In particular, no discussion to date has addressed the type of elements needed for more complex managerial and organizational phenomena, such as eliciting cognitive perceptions of a system of something (which, in the true sense of the word, may include people, objects, activities and events). The authors propose the use of more heterogeneous elements that would signify a more meaningful range of representativeness of the domain of interest. Once this is established, the elements would need to be reworded into "-ing" words to ensure triadic comparison are comparing like with like. The use of system elements opens up new applications of Kelly's (1955) grid technique.
Model for Progression of Strength, Power, and Speed Training

PERIODIZATION IS A PROCESS TO SEQUENTIALLY AND LOGICALLY MANIPULATE TRAINING VARIABLES TO OPTIMIZE PERFORMANCE. FOR STRENGTH-POWER ATHLETES, PERIODIZATION MODELS HAVE BEEN PRESENTED, WHICH INDICATE AN INCREASING INTENSITY AND DECREASING VOLUME OF EXERCISE WITH DAILY VARIATIONS IN VOLUME AND INTENSITY AS WELL. ALTHOUGH THIS ADDRESSES THE PROGRESSION OF STRENGTH, THIS MAY NOT NECESSARILY ADDRESS THE PROGRESSION OF POWER AND SPEED, WITH POWER BEING THE PRODUCT OF BOTH FORCE AND VELOCITY. THIS ARTICLE IS A DISCUSSION OF THE POSSIBLE PROGRESSION OF STRENGTH, POWER, AND SPEED TRAINING AND NOT A DESCRIPTION OF A COMPLETE PERIODIZATION MODEL.

Successes and Challenges in Preventing Conduct Problems in Australian Preschool-Aged Children Through the Early Impact (EI) Program

Abstract This article reports on the initial effects of the Early Impact (EI) Program, a preventative program that includes home and school components designed to arrest the development of conduct problems in preschool-aged children. Participants included 455 preschool-aged children enrolled across 10 schools. Schools were randomly assigned to either EI or control conditions. All participants were screened at the commencement of the academic year to determine those children considered more at risk for ongoing conduct problems. Following screening n = 66 children were identified in the intervention group and n = 69 in the control. The intervention commenced in the second term of the academic year and ran over a 10-week period. Teachers involved in the intervention were highly engaged and satisfied with the program design. Improvements were reported at the school level at post-intervention with mixed evidence of durability of change at 6-month follow-up. Parent participants were more difficult to engage and reported no changes in the behaviour of children in the home. The study provides initial evidence of the efficacy of the EI intervention as a means of preventing conduct problems in young children at the school level; however, issues associated with parental engagement and home-based change remain to be solved.

How Prescription Drug Use Affects Health Care Utilization and Spending by Older Americans: A Review of the Literature

While this review of prescription drug use summarizes some important findings, these findings are subject to several caveats and experts do not agree on some important issues. For example, researchers still have not determined the magnitude of cost offsets connected to broad changes in drug coverage or the impact on spending and health of high cost-sharing and significant gaps in drug coverage, such as those found in high deductible health plans (i.e., health savings accounts) and the Medicare Part D drug benefit (i.e., the “donut hole”).
Performance and robust frequency response for multirate sampled-data systems

Multirate, sampled-data control systems are analyzed in the frequency domain, taking the inter-sample behavior into account. The focus of the analysis is both on the rejection of disturbances within a certain frequency region, and on the robust stability properties. Due to the periodic behavior of such systems, a distinction is made between the performance frequency response (PFR) and the robust frequency response (RFR). The RFR is related to current frequency response approaches for sampled-data systems.
Creep and shrinkage coupling : New review of some evidence

Dans cet article, nous revenons sur les mecanismes du fluage propre et du retrait endogene, ainsi que sur les couplages qui sont accessibles par les essais de laboratoire. L'analyse de la cinetique de deformations differees pour differents betons permet de mettre en evidence deux regimes cinetiques: une cinetique de courte duree, active pendant quelques jours apres chargement, et une cinetique a long terme, caracterisee par un fort vieillissement en cinetique, - apparemment non asymptotique. Puis, en exploitant l'interaction entre le fluage et le retrait en condition endogene, nous montrons que le retrait endogene a long terme, qui, lui aussi, ne peut pas s'expliquer par les seuls effets d'hydratation, peut s'expliquer par une pression interne quasi constante. Cette pression ne semble que dependre du rapport eau/ciment. Enfin, nous presentons quelques resultats preliminaires du fluage propre transversal.
INCIDENCE OF TUBERCULOSIS AMONG NEWLY INFECTED POPULATION AND IN RELATION TO THE DURATION OF INFECTED STATUS

Some of the parameters relating to duration of infected status and incidence of disease have been measured by analysing the data collected from the five year study. Between 1961-68, 119 villages in Bangalore district with total average population of about 62,000 were surveyed at intervals of 1, 3 and 5 years from the first survey. All persons were tuberculin tested with 1 TU RT 23 and those aged 5 years or more were X-rayed. Sputum of those persons showing any X-ray abnormality were collected and examined for AFB. Persons with X-ray abnormality but bacteriologically negative or with normal X-ray in all the preceding surveys, and who became culture positive with X-ray abnormality in the current survey were termed as "New cases". New cases who had shown 10 mm or more reaction to 1 TU RT 23 at I Survey were considered infected previously. New cases, tuberculin negative at I survey but who showed an increase of 16 mm or more between two consecutive surveys were considered infected midway between the two surveys. Of the 42 new cases diagnosed from among the newly infected during 5 years, 81% came from those infected within one year. Incidence rate of cases among those who were infected within one year was about 5 times more than those infected earlier than one year. Incidence of cases steadily decreased with the increase in the duration of infection. Further, it was found that one fourth of all newly diagnosed cases came from the newly infected persons. However, the size of the pool of previously infected persons in a community being much larger, at least 72% of the new cases came from the reservoir of previously infected persons. The incidence of disease among the newly infected was almost the same in the three age groups i.e., 5-14, 15-34 and 35 years or more. But, the ratio of the incidence rates for the newly infected and the previously infected decreased from 13 for the age group 5-14 to 3 for the age group 35 years and above. In other words, the incidence of disease among the newly infected in the age group 5-14 was thirteen times more than for the previously infected in the same age-group whereas in the age-group 35 years and above, the incidence among newly infected was only thrice that among the previously infected. Out of the 160 new cases diagnosed during the three repeat surveys, 21 per cent cases came from among those who were infected on the average for one year or less. This is almost in conformity with the hypothesis that one-fourth of all new active cases come from new infections less than a year old.
Medicaid and Provider Supply

One of the main goals of public health insurance expansions is to increase access to health care services, but doing so may require providers to move to previously underserved areas. Whether and to what extent any such relocation occurs remains an open question. I study how providers choose their practice locations in response to Medicaid expansions for one of the most common forms of primary care, dental care services. I find that expansions of adult Medicaid dental benefits between 2006-2013 increased dentist counts per capita in poor counties relative to non-poor counties by 12 percent, or 2.6 dentists per 100,000 population. The increase was larger in counties where the expansions generated greater financial incentives for dentists.
Fault-Tolerant Event Monitoring in Wireless Sensor Networks

Event monitoring is an important issue in wireless sensor networks,however,the limits of sensor networks and the uncertainty existed in sensed data propose challenges for it.This paper analyzes the uncertainty existed in sensor networks and presents fault-tolerant event monitoring mechanism.We first introduce the fault-tolerant event detection and monitoring nodes choosing algorithms,and then estimate the event appearing area under the condition of static sensor nodes and moving sensor nodes.Finally,we evaluate our algorithms via a serial of simulations.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithms can obtain optimal performance in event monitoring.
The Physiology of the Grid An Open Grid Services Architecture for Distributed Systems Integration

In both e-business and e-science, we often need to integrate services across distributed, heterogeneous, dynamic “virtual organizations” formed from the disparate resources within a single enterprise and/or from external resource sharing and service provider relationships. This integration can be technically challenging because of the need to achieve various qualities of service when running on top of different native platforms. We present an Open Grid Services Architecture that addresses these challenges. Building on concepts and technologies from the Grid and Web services communities, this architecture defines a uniform exposed service semantics (the Grid service); defines standard mechanisms for creating, naming, and discovering transient Grid service instances; provides location transparency and multiple protocol bindings for service instances; and supports integration with underlying native platform facilities. The Open Grid Services Architecture also defines, in terms of Web Services Description Language (WSDL) interfaces and associated conventions, mechanisms required for creating and composing sophisticated distributed systems, including lifetime management, change management, and notification. Service bindings can support reliable invocation, authentication, authorization, and delegation, if required. Our presentation complements an earlier foundational article, “The Anatomy of the Grid,” by describing how Grid mechanisms can implement a service-oriented architecture, explaining how Grid functionality can be incorporated into a Web services framework, and illustrating how our architecture can be applied within commercial computing as a basis for distributed system integration—within and across organizational domains.
