Development index IDI through statistics: comparative evaluation

The Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI):

Comparative urine analysis by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and multivariate statistics: method development, evaluation, and application to proteinuria.

We describe a platform for the comparative profiling of urine using reversed-phase liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and multivariate statistical data analysis. Urinary compounds were separated by gradient elution and subsequently detected by electrospray Ion-Trap MS. The lower limit of detection (5.7-21 nmol/L), within-day (2.9-19%) and between-day (4.8-19%) analytical variation ...

Evaluation of Software Testing Techniques Through Software Testability Index

Software testing is one of the most important phases in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) which helps in assessing the quality of the software. There are a number of testing techniques at various phases of testing. Selection of the right testing technique at any stage is one of the critical problems and depends on many factors such as resources, schedule, cost of the project, etc. The ...

Development and evaluation of the US Healthy Food Diversity index.

Varied diets are diverse with respect to diet quality, and existing dietary variety indices do not capture this heterogeneity. We developed and evaluated the multidimensional US Healthy Food Diversity (HFD) index, which measures dietary variety, dietary quality and proportionality according to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA). In the present study, two 24 h dietary recalls from t...
