Estimation of reference ranges: how many subjects are needed?
We measured Na, K, Cl, glucose, hemoglobin, erythrocytes, and hematocrit in the serum or blood from approximately 800 male and 200 female second-year medical students in an effort to define the size of an acceptable reference population. Using the data from the men and Monte Carlo simulations of 10-400 samples, each carried out 5000 times, we found that for most of the above tests, approximatel...
متن کاملHow many Reference Images are needed for Image- Based Modeling?
Today many systems exist to generate geometric models of existing scenes and objects. However, no accurate data about surface appearance such as colors and textures is stored in this process. Such data can be captured as a series of images that, collectively, capture all surfaces of the object. This work introduces a method to compute a minimal set of camera positions for this purpose. Taking i...
متن کاملHow many microbiology consultants are needed?
It is difficult to measure medical staff workload and medical staff requirements in microbiology departments. A review of 14 job descriptions for consultant microbiologists showed that the number of hospital beds and the number of specimens are more reliable workload indices than the population figure. Ratios between beds or specimens and medical staff numbers may help to identify understaffed ...
متن کاملAssessment of maximal handgrip strength: how many attempts are needed?
BACKGROUND Handgrip strength (HGS) is used to identify individuals with low muscle strength (dynapenia). The influence of the number of attempts on maximal HGS is not yet known and may differ depending on age and health status. This study aimed to assess how many attempts of HGS are required to obtain maximal HGS. METHODS Three cohorts (939 individuals) differing in age and health status were...
متن کاملHow Many Query Superpositions Are Needed to Learn?
This paper introduces a framework for quantum exact learning via queries, the so-called quantum protocol. It is shown that usual protocols in the classical learning setting have quantum counterparts. A combinatorial notion, the general halving dimension, is also introduced. Given a quantum protocol and a target concept class, the general halving dimension provides lower and upper bounds on the ...
