description: Macroinvertebrate surveys are commonly used for assessing the health of freshwater systems around the world. Traditionally, surveying involves morphologically identifying the families, and sometimes genera, present in samples. Biological indices, derived from taxonomic lists, provide convenient ways to summarise community data and may be fairly insensitive to species-level changes in community compositions. In recent years, molecular techniques for identifying taxa have become increasingly popular and metabarcoding approaches that offer the ability to identify species from mixtures of whole animals (bulk-samples) or from environmental samples have gained much attention. However, generating accurate species lists from metabarcode data is challenging and can be impacted by sample type, choice of primers, community composition within samples, and the availability of reference sequences. This study compares the performance of molecular data extracted from bulk-samples against morphological data in calculating two biological indices (the Stream Invertebrate Grade Number Average Level 2 (SIGNAL2), which is calculated from family-level data, and a genus-level equivalent of this index, SIGNAL_SG) and one biological metric (taxon richness). Further, molecular indices and metrics derived from global, local or mixed reference DNA libraries and with varying degrees of filtering processes applied to them, are compared with respect to the strength of their relationships with morphological indices and metrics. Molecularly derived SIGNAL2 and SIGNAL_SG scores correlated strongly with morphologically derived scores, and were strongest when using a reference library containing a mix of local and global data. Molecularly derived richness metrics were moderately correlated with morphological taxa richness; however, the strongest correlations were observed when taxa that could not be assigned SIGNAL grades were omitted from analyses. This study highlights the utility of using molecular data as an objective and sensitive alternative to traditional freshwater biological assessment using macroinvertebrates.

description: Motivation: Complex interactions among alleles often drive differences in inherited properties including disease predisposition. Isolating the effects of these interactions requires phasing information that is difficult to measure or infer. Furthermore, prevalent sequencing technologies used in the essential first step of determining a haplotype limit the range of that step to the span of reads, namely hundreds of bases. With the advent of pseudo-long read technologies, observable partial haplotypes can span several orders of magnitude more. Yet, measuring whole-genome-single-individual haplotypes remains a challenge. A different view of whole genome measurement addresses the 3D structure of the genome – with great development of Hi-C techniques in recent years. A shortcoming of current Hi-C, however, is the difficulty in inferring information that is specific to each of a pair of homologous chromosomes.

Results: In this work we develop a robust algorithmic framework that takes two measurement derived datasets: raw Hi-C and partial short-range haplotypes, and constructs the full-genome haplotype as well as phased diploid Hi-C maps. By analyzing both data sets together we thus bridge important gaps in both technologies – from short to long haplotypes and from un-phased to phased Hi-C. We demonstrate that our method can recover ground truth haplotypes with high accuracy, using measured biological data as well as simulated data. We analyze the impact of noise, Hi-C sequencing depth and measured haplotype lengths on performance. Finally, we use the inferred 3D structure of a human genome to point at transcription factor targets nuclear co-localization.

description: Business process anomaly detection enables the prevention
of misuse and failures. Existing approaches focus on detecting anomalies
in control, temporal, and resource behavior of individual instances, neglecting
the communication of multiple instances in choreographies. Consequently,
anomaly detection capabilities are limited. This study presents
a novel neural network-based approach to detect anomalies in distributed
business processes. Unlike existing methods, our solution considers message
data exchanged during process transactions. Allowing the generation
of detection profiles incorporating the relationship between multiple
instances, related services, and exchanged data to detect point and contextual
anomalies during process runtime. To validate the proposed solution,
it is demonstrated with a prototype implementation and validated
with a use case from the ecommerce domain. Future work aims to further
improve the deep learning approach, to enhance detection performance.

description: In multiplayer games, a collection of self-interested players aims to optimize their individual cost functions in a non-cooperative manner. The cost function of each player depends not only on its own actions but also on the actions of others. In addition, players' actions may also collectively satisfy some global constraints. The study of this problem has grown immensely in the past decades with applications arising in a wide range of societal systems, including strategic behaviors in power markets, traffic assignment of strategic risk-averse users, engagement of multiple humanitarian organizations in disaster relief, etc. Furthermore, with machine learning models playing an increasingly important role in practical applications, the robustness of these models becomes another prominent concern. Investigation into the solutions of multiplayer games and Nash equilibrium problems (NEPs) can advance the algorithm design for fitting these models in the presence of adversarial noises. Most of the existing methods for solving multiplayer games assume the presence of a central coordinator, which, unfortunately, is not practical in many scenarios. Moreover, in addition to couplings in the objectives and the global constraints, all too often, the objective functions contain uncertainty in the form of stochastic noises and unknown model parameters. The problem is further complicated by the following considerations: the individual objectives of players may be unavailable or too complex to model; players may exhibit reluctance to disclose their actions; players may experience random delays when receiving feedback regarding their actions. To contend with these issues and uncertainties, in the first half of the thesis, we develop several algorithms based on the theory of operator splitting and stochastic approximation, where the game participants only share their local information and decisions with their trusted neighbors on the network. In the second half of the thesis, we explore the bandit online learning framework as a solution to the challenges, where decisions made by players are updated based solely on the realized objective function values. Our future work will delve into data-driven approaches for learning in multiplayer games and we will explore functional representations of players' decisions, in a departure from the vector form.

description: Objective: To develop a best practice guide for managing people with plantar heel pain (PHP). Methods: Mixed-methods design including systematic review, expert interviews and patient survey. Data sources: Medline, Embase, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, trial registries, reference lists and citation tracking. Semi-structured interviews with world experts and a patient survey. Eligibility criteria: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating any intervention for people with PHP in any language were included subject to strict quality criteria. Trials with a sample size greater than n=38 were considered for proof of efficacy. International experts were interviewed using a semi-structured approach and people with PHP were surveyed online. Results: Fifty-one eligible trials enrolled 4351 participants, with 9 RCTs suitable to determine proof of efficacy for 10 interventions. Forty people with PHP completed the online survey and 14 experts were interviewed resulting in 7 themes and 38 subthemes. There was good agreement between the systematic review findings and interview data about taping (SMD: 0.47, 95% CI 0.05 to 0.88) and plantar fascia stretching (SMD: 1.21, 95% CI 0.78 to 1.63) for first step pain in the short term. Clinical reasoning advocated combining these interventions with education and footwear advice as the core self-management approach. There was good expert agreement with systematic review findings recommending stepped care management with focused shockwave for first step pain in the short-term (OR: 1.89, 95% CI 1.18 to 3.04), medium-term (SMD 1.31, 95% CI 0.61 to 2.01) and long-term (SMD 1.67, 95% CI 0.88 to 2.45) and radial shockwave for first step pain in the short term (OR: 1.66, 95% CI 1.00 to 2.76) and long term (OR: 1.78, 95% CI 1.07 to 2.96). We found good agreement to 'step care' using custom foot orthoses for general pain in the short term (SMD: 0.41, 95% CI 0.07 to 0.74) and medium term (SMD: 0.55, 95% CI 0.09 to 1.02). Conclusion: Best practice from a mixed-methods study synthesising systematic review with expert opinion and patient feedback suggests core treatment for people with PHP should include taping, stretching and individualised education. Patients who do not optimally improve may be offered shockwave therapy, followed by custom orthoses.

description: Due to complexities from the interaction between steel tube and concrete filling of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns, their strengths are very complicated, which is a highly nonlinear relation with material strengths and geometry. Categorical gradient Boosting (CatBoost), which is advanced boosting machine, is presented to solve the problems. A total of 3103 tests, which is divided in four datasets, is trained and tested the learners to determine the ultimate axial strength as the output variable while the strength of materials (concrete and steel) and geometry (e.g., diameters/width/heights, thickness, effective length, eccentricities) are the input ones. The comparison of the present results from 10-fold cross validation and those from the code predictions (AISC 360-16, Eurocode 4 and AS/NZS 2327) and previous study shows very high prediction accuracy in terms of coefficient of determination (R2), which is the lowest value (R2 = 0.964) for Dataset 2 and the highest one (R2 = 0.996) for Dataset 1. While the predictions from three codes beyond material limit and slenderness are less conservative than those within it, CatBoost provides nearly similar experiment results with the mean values as unity without any limits. This algorithm can be used to predict an accurate strength of CFST columns.

description: Stroke is one of the leading causes of adult disability and the second leading cause of death worldwide. The immune system actively participates in the pathobiological process of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), during the index event and the repair process. Research on neurovascular inflammation has created a renewed interest in the use of easily available biomarkers reflective of innate and adaptive immunological changes with potential diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic implications particularly in AIS. The current scoping review aimed to assess the significance the neutrophil to lymphocyte (NLR) in AIS and its related complications and explore their association with post-stroke recovery trajectory. The Arksey and O’Malley methodological framework was employed to review the published papers on the neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and AIS in late November 2020. Only studies published in English from 2000–2020 were included in this scoping review. Fifty-three published papers were reviewed. This review’s key finding is that a canonical inflammatory response occurs in the hyperacute, acute, subacute, and chronic stages of stroke. An excessive circulating innate immune cells (neutrophils) and reduced circulating adaptive immune cells (lymphocytes) are associated with poorer outcomes during the acute interventions as well as the recovery trajectory. This scoping review’s findings highlights the utility of a systems biology-based approach in stroke care.

Radial-Velocity Variability Of The Sun As A Star With Harps And Harps-N

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2016

description: Since we can resolve the surface of the Sun directly, we can explore the origin of radial-velocity variations induced by individual solar surface features such as faculae/plage, sunspots and granulation. I will present my recent investigation of the radial-velocity variations of the Sun as a star, based on high-resolution HARPS spectra of reflected sunlight and simultaneous images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory. We found that faculae are the dominant source of activity-induced radial-velocity variations, via suppression of convective blueshift. We investigated possible proxies for activity-induced radial-velocity variations and found that optical lightcurves can only provide a partial representation of these signals; the full-disc magnetic flux, however, is an excellent tracer. In addition to this dataset, the HARPS-N spectrograph has been operating with a new solar telescope feed since 2015 July. I will present results from the first year observations, which show radial-velocity variations of up to 7-8 m/s. Identifying proxies for solar radial-velocity variations is key to understanding the radial-velocity variability of other Sun-like stars, and is also essential for other investigations such as exoplanet detection surveys.

description: The burden of adolescent cigarette smoking is substantial. We assess mothers’ and fathers’ attitudes and behaviours on adolescent smoking using a cross-sectional study of n = 707 adolescents. Associations between parental attitudes and behaviours in adolescent smoking were assessed using logistic regression separately for boys and girls. Occasional alcohol use by both parents increased odds of smoking once a day (OR = 2.44, 95% CI 1.26, 4.71, OR = 1.51, 95% CI 0.97, 2.35, respectively). Fathers smoking increased odds for girls (OR = 1.59, 95% CI 1.01, 2.52). A democratic mother de-creased odds for boys (OR = 0.32, 95% CI 0.10, 0.93) whereas a protective, demanding mother increased the odds for girls (OR = 8.65, 95% CI 1.38, 54.22). Public health smoking prevention pro-grams could support changing parental behaviours and attitudes in early years to address this burden in countries with authoritarian parenting styles.

description: The Pyramidal Truss Core Panel has been developed to save weight in applications normally devoted to solid plates. Present design formulas use classical beam theory with engineering assumptions made for moment of inertia and shear modulus determinations. Analysis with the SUPERSAP finite element code indicates that the present theory provides good prediction for the plate stresses but may be inadequate for the core stress and deflection determination. Two optimization routines are presented. The first procedure uses a batch file to execute separate programs with SUPERSAP used as the analysis code. The second combines a FORTRAN program used for analysis with the optimization code into a single program. Both procedures are shown to work but with difficulties arising due to non-linearities in the constraint equations and unusually high stress calculations in the core by the analysis codes. Optimization using the batch file may be impractical due to large computer costs associated with the finite element analysis needed for gradient evaluations.

description: The study covered in part by this report was largely designed to provide current detailed estimates of the major costs of marketing American lint cotton. These and the related data obtained from the study are needed for measuring changes in marketing costs, to help find ways of increasing cotton marketing efficiencies, and for evaluating existing and proposed policies and programs affecting cotton. Information was obtained largely from a sample of the cotton shipping firms and marketing associations located in the 15 markets designated for establishing official price quotations for U.S. cotton. The cost estimates reflect, within reasonable limits, variations in the kind, amount, rates, and efficiencies of the services involved in assembling cotton, in specified Cotton Belt regions and market trading areas and in delivering it to customers throughout the world. This summary report includes such estimates for cotton purchased in each of 3 trading areas within the Western region and shipped to 9 specified outlets. These estimates are based largely on data from shippers located in the Bakersfield, El Paso, Fresno, and Phoenix markets

description: Background/Objectives: We investigated the impact of ceasing routine falls risk assessment tool (FRAT) completion and instead used clinical reasoning to select fall mitigation strategies. Design: Two-group, multi-site cluster-randomized active-control non-inferiority trial. Setting: Hospital wards. Participants: Adult inpatients admitted to participating hospitals (n = 10 hospitals, 123,176 bed days). Intervention: Hospitals were randomly assigned (1:1) to a usual care control group that continued to use a historical FRAT to assign falls risk scores and accompanying mitigation strategies, or an experimental group whereby clinicians did not assign risk scores and instead used clinical reasoning to select fall mitigation strategies using a decision support list. Measurements: The primary measure was between-group difference in mean fall rates (falls/1000 bed days). Falls were identified from incident reports supplemented by hand searches of medical records over three consecutive months at each hospital. The incidence rate ratio (IRR) of monthly falls rates in control versus experimental hospitals was also estimated. Results: The experimental clinical reasoning approach was non-inferior to the usual care FRAT that assigned fall risk ratings when compared to a-priori stakeholder derived and sensitivity non-inferiority margins. The mean fall rates were 3.84 falls/1000 bed days for the FRAT continuing sites and 3.11 falls/1000 bed days for experimental sites. After adjusting for historical fall rates at each hospital, the IRR (95%CI) was 0.78 (0.64, 0.95), where IRR < 1.00 indicated fewer falls among the experimental group. There were 4 and 3 serious events in the control and experimental groups, respectively. Conclusion: Replacing a FRAT scoring system with clinical reasoning did not lead to inferior fall outcomes in the short term and may even reduce fall incidence.

description: Bulk δ15N and δ13C values of proteinaceous tissues are being increasingly used in bioarchaeological studies to elucidate the physio-pathological status of ancient individuals. This method has not always been successful. The present study aims to explore the novel use of single amino acid carbon isotope analysis in palaeopathology by investigating the effect of a serious infectious disease, tuberculosis (TB), on the isotope composition of two collagenous tissues (tendon, rib). This is achieved by comparing the bulk and amino acid stable isotope compositions of collagenous tissues collected from human remains with and without TB-like bone lesions. The sample set comprises twelve adult individuals (males = 6, females = 6), who were buried at Pica 8, an inland oasis situated on the mid-elevation plains of northern Chile (Late Intermediate Period, ~1050-500 BP). Similarity and consistency in the diet of these individuals are explored using amino acid carbon isotope analysis of 1-cm hair segments longitudinally cut along a single hair fibre. The results show that there is a difference between collagen δ13C serine values measured in the rib collagen of five individuals presenting TB-like bone lesions (3 males and 2 females) and in those five without lesions (3 males and 2 females; control individuals). The rib collagen δ13C serine values of pathological individuals are lower (more negative) than those of the control individuals. Within the group of pathological individuals, lower δ13C serine values in rib collagen are correlated with higher (more positive) δ15N values. Since only individuals (N = 10) with similar dietary intakes were included in the statistical analyses, it appears that the δ13C serine values could be linked to altered carbon metabolism, rather than induced by dietary factors. Serine accounts for less than 3% of the total carbon in bone collagen, and thus an altered serine metabolism would be masked within the averaged bulk carbon isotope value. In future studies, it is advised to undertake stable carbon isotope analysis of non-essential amino acids as a means of characterising pathologically altered body tissues.

description: Abstract: As the primary mechanism through which journalistic labour is organized within a newsroom, news beats are an important feature of journalistic research. However, within the extensive research that examines beat reporting and its specialties, there is little that examines how the media covers itself—or the media beat. This study explores the media beat in Australia, examining how media covered two major media change events: the loss of jobs at newspaper publisher Fairfax in 2012 and the potential closure of wire service Australian Associated Press (AAP) in 2020. In analysing reporting of change events in journalism through a framework of metajournalistic discourse, and through an analysis of 200 items, this study found that “media beat’ journalists included more information about the adverse effects of job loss and disruption on news supply in 2020 than in 2012. Intermedia competition often shaped coverage, with journalists reporting change in rival media companies. Yet, how “media beat” reporters covered these changes varied in both years. The study also found that stakeholders from within and outside of media contribute to the development of change narratives in journalism by offering robust discussion of the implications of industry transformation for news quality and informed publics.

description: Neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases, are collectively a major cause of death and disability worldwide. Whilst the underlying disease mechanisms remain elusive, altered mitochondrial function has been clearly implicated and is a key area of study in these disorders. Studying mitochondrial function in these disorders is difficult due to the inaccessibility of brain tissue, which is the key tissue affected in these diseases. To overcome this issue, numerous cell models have been used, each providing unique benefits and limitations. Here, we focussed on the use of lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) to study mitochondrial function in neurological disorders. LCLs have long been used as tools for genomic analyses, but here we described their use in functional studies specifically in regard to mitochondrial function. These models have enabled characterisation of the underlying mitochondrial defect, identification of altered signalling pathways and proteins, differences in mitochondrial function between subsets of particular disorders and identification of biomarkers of the disease. The examples provided here suggest that these cells will be useful for development of diagnostic tests (which in most cases do not exist), identification of drug targets and testing of pharmacological agents, and are a worthwhile model for studying mitochondrial function in neurological disorders.

description: Ecological theory suggests that habitat disturbance differentially influences distributions of habitat generalist and specialist species. While well-established for macroorganisms, this theory has rarely been explored for microorganisms. Here we tested these principles in permeable (sandy) sediments, ecosystems with much spatiotemporal variation in resource availability and physicochemical conditions. Microbial community composition and function were profiled in intertidal and subtidal sediments using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and metagenomics, yielding 135 metagenome-assembled genomes. Community composition and metabolic traits modestly varied with sediment depth and sampling date. Several taxa were highly abundant and prevalent in all samples, including within the orders Woeseiales and Flavobacteriales, and classified as habitat generalists; genome reconstructions indicate these taxa are highly metabolically flexible facultative anaerobes and adapt to resource variability by using different electron donors and acceptors. In contrast, obligately anaerobic taxa such as sulfate reducers and candidate lineage MBNT15 were less abundant overall and only thrived in more stable deeper sediments. We substantiated these findings by measuring three metabolic processes in these sediments; whereas the habitat generalist-associated processes of sulfide oxidation and fermentation occurred rapidly at all depths, the specialist-associated process of sulfate reduction was restricted to deeper sediments. A manipulative experiment also confirmed habitat generalists outcompete specialist taxa during simulated habitat disturbance. Together, these findings show metabolically flexible habitat generalists become dominant in highly dynamic environments, whereas metabolically constrained specialists are restricted to narrower niches. Thus, an ecological theory describing distribution patterns for macroorganisms likely extends to microorganisms. Such findings have broad ecological and biogeochemical ramifications.

description: Ecological theory suggests that habitat disturbance differentially influences distributions of habitat generalist and specialist species. While well-established for macroorganisms, this theory has rarely been explored for microorganisms. Here we tested these principles in permeable (sandy) sediments, ecosystems with much spatiotemporal variation in resource availability and physicochemical conditions. Microbial community composition and function were profiled in intertidal and subtidal sediments using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and metagenomics, yielding 135 metagenome-assembled genomes. Community composition and metabolic traits modestly varied with sediment depth and sampling date. Several taxa were highly abundant and prevalent in all samples, including within the orders Woeseiales and Flavobacteriales, and classified as habitat generalists; genome reconstructions indicate these taxa are highly metabolically flexible facultative anaerobes and adapt to resource variability by using different electron donors and acceptors. In contrast, obligately anaerobic taxa such as sulfate reducers and candidate lineage MBNT15 were less abundant overall and only thrived in more stable deeper sediments. We substantiated these findings by measuring three metabolic processes in these sediments; whereas the habitat generalist-associated processes of sulfide oxidation and fermentation occurred rapidly at all depths, the specialist-associated process of sulfate reduction was restricted to deeper sediments. A manipulative experiment also confirmed habitat generalists outcompete specialist taxa during simulated habitat disturbance. Together, these findings show metabolically flexible habitat generalists become dominant in highly dynamic environments, whereas metabolically constrained specialists are restricted to narrower niches. Thus, an ecological theory describing distribution patterns for macroorganisms likely extends to microorganisms. Such findings have broad ecological and biogeochemical ramifications.

description: Purpose: To establish the feasibility of embedding a flexible, exercise-based rehabilitation program into a cancer treatment unit to allow cancer survivors early exercise support. Method: A pre-post study was conducted using Bowen’s Framework to describe key domains of feasibility: demand (referrals), acceptability (uptake, attendance, satisfaction), implementation (resources), practicality (adverse events, costs) and limited-efficacy (function, quality of life, self-efficacy). Participants were medically stable, adult cancer survivors receiving curative or palliative treatment for cancer at the health service. Participants completed an 8-week home or hospital-based exercise program. Data were analysed descriptively. Standardised mean differences (Hedge’s g) and mean differences were calculated to determine effect size and clinical significance. Results: The exercise-based rehabilitation service received 155 referrals over 6 months. Of those eligible, 73/119 (61%) commenced. Participants opting for twice-weekly, hospital-based exercise attended 9/16 (56%) sessions. Participants reported high satisfaction and there were no major adverse events. The program utilised existing resources, with the predominant cost being staff. The average health service cost per participant was AUD $1,104. Participants made clinically significant gains in function (6-min walk distance; + 73 m, 95% confidence interval 49 to 96) and quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30 Global quality of life; + 8 units, 95% confidence interval 3 to 13). Conclusion: Implementation of exercise-based rehabilitation in a co-located cancer unit was safe and feasible. Access, patient and staff education and establishing funding streams are important implementation considerations. Implications for cancer survivors Access to exercise in a cancer unit provides opportunity for early intervention to optimise function during treatment.

description: Make Data Count (MDC) is a scholarly change initiative, made up of researchers and open infrastructure experts, building and advocating for evidence-based open data metrics. Throughout MDC’s tenure, various areas key to the development of research data assessment metrics have been identified. Please join a Spring seminar and discussion series centered around priority work areas, adjacent initiatives to learn from, and steps that can be taken immediately to drive diverse research communities towards assessment and reward for open data.

 The third and last webinar in our series “BEGIN: metadata for meaningful metrics” will look at next steps to develop responsible and fair data metrics that can reflect the use and impact of research datasets and help elevate them to first-class scholarly outputs. We’ll focus on necessary metadata to construct metrics that take into account characteristics and contexts of open data across disciplines. In her talk, Stefanie Haustein presents the Make Data Count initiative and the importance of meaningful data metrics.

description: How innate and adaptive immune responses work in concert to resolve influenza disease is yet to be fully investigated in one single study. Here, we utilize longitudinal samples from patients hospitalized with acute influenza to understand these immune responses. We report the dynamics of 18 important immune parameters, related to clinical, genetic and virological factors, in influenza patients across different severity levels. Influenza disease correlates with increases in IL-6/IL-8/MIP-1α/β cytokines and lower antibody responses. Robust activation of circulating T follicular helper cells correlates with peak antibody-secreting cells and influenza heamaglutinin-specific memory B-cell numbers, which phenotypically differs from vaccination-induced B-cell responses. Numbers of influenza-specific CD8+ or CD4+ T cells increase early in disease and retain an activated phenotype during patient recovery. We report the characterisation of immune cellular networks underlying recovery from influenza infection which are highly relevant to other infectious diseases.

description: Concept Drift is considered a challenging problem that appears in data streaming. The classifier's error rate and the ensemble are used in most of the previous works to manage classification accuracy as a criterion for judging whether concept drift is happening or not. KAPPA is an effective way to measure the level of agreement, and it may be suitable to detect concept drift in a reliable, fast, and computationally efficient way. In this paper, we propose a new concept drift detector, called KAPPA, which aims at reacting to detect concept drift in a reliable, fast, and computationally efficient way. Contrary the disagreement measure that we have already considered in our preliminary work (DMDDM), KAPPA would measure the level of agreement when different classifiers access data items is suitable to detect concept drifts. The performance of KAPPA has been experimentally compared with DMDDM on synthetic dataset streams, considering different performance measures, e.g., delay detection, true positives and the mean accuracy.
