Meaningful Change Detection in Structured Data Sudarshan

Detecting changes by comparing data snapshots is an important requirement for diierence queries, active databases, and version and connguration management. In this paper we focus on detecting meaningful changes in hierarchically structured data, such as nested-object data. This problem is much more challenging than the corresponding one for re-lational or at-le data. In order to describe change...

Defining meaningful participation of developing countries in climate change mitigation

The benefits from reducing GHG emissions are not limited to a single consumer or group of consumers but are available to a large set of countries and populations across generations. Underprovision and free-riding are thus to be expected in the climate change issue. Optimal provision of this type of public good requires creating incentives for international cooperation. Game theorists have propo...

Quantification of a meaningful change in low back functional impairment.

STUDY DESIGN Repeated measures study design. OBJECTIVE Determine a meaningful change in low back functional impairment as measured with the lumbar motion monitor. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA A quantitative functional performance probability (P(n)) measure has been developed and is scored from 0.00 to 1.00. Previous research has shown that a 0.5 cut-off provides excellent sensitivity and spec...

Sepsis change bundles: converting guidelines into meaningful change in behavior and clinical outcome.

T he incidence of severe sepsis (sepsis with organ dysfunction) is increasing (1). Several recently published studies have demonstrated decreased mortality and morbidity as a result of interventions and therapeutics applied to patients with sepsis (2–5). These new data, resulting from rigorously performed, randomized, controlled trials, combined with previous data for beneficial interventions n...
