The Uneven Distribution of Children’s Rights

Uneven distribution of light in standard phototherapy.

Maldistribution of light is a potential cause of phototherapy failure in the neonate. Differences in light intensity over the surface can be measured with a radiometer as this detects the radiant energy impinging on the incubator mattress. An infant nursed on the front third of the mattress receives less than 40% of the maximal light incident on the centre of the mattress, and consequently degr...

Ubiquitous Distribution of Epstein–Barr Virus and the Highly Uneven Distribution of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Correspondence To the Editor: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a type of cancer that is rare in western countries, but common in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa. Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection of nasopharyngeal epithelial cells, including interactions involving its putative cofactors, is commonly considered critical in NPC development. We propose that if this hypothesis is true...

Evaluation of Classifiers for an Uneven Class Distribution Problem

Classification problems with uneven class distributions present several difficulties during the training as well as during the evaluation process of classifiers. A classification problem with such characteristics has resulted from a data-mining project where the objective was to predict customer insolvency. Using the dataset from the customer insolvency problem we study several alternative meth...
