This paper describes treeClust, an R package that produces dissimilarities useful for clustering. These dissimilarities arise from a set of classification or regression trees, one with each variable in the data acting in turn as a the response, and all others as predictors. This use of trees produces dissimilarities that are insensitive to scaling, benefit from automatic variable selection, and...

Several management approaches were evaluated against pod borer attacking yard long bean during April - July, 2019 at Entomology Research Field, Bangladesh Agricultural Institute (BARI), Gazipur. The package namely sanitation + spraying bio-pesticide Antario (Package 1), Spinosad 45 SC 3) and alternate of 45SC 4) showed almost equal effectiveness in reducing flower damage by higher yield. But th...

conclusions the pregnancy adaptation training package increased the adaptation and maternal-fetal attachment scores in pregnant women with a history of baby loss. results before the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences between the study and control groups in terms of maternal-fetal attachment (p = 0.280) and adaptation to pregnancy (p = 0.883). however, following th...

The JavaTM developers kit requires a size() operation for all objects. Unfortunately, the best known solution, available in the Java concurrency package, has a blocking concurrent implementation that does not scale. This paper presents a highly scalable wait-free implementation of a concurrent size() operation based on a new lock-free interrupting snapshots algorithm for the classical atomic sn...

July 2017 Abstract The objective of this study is to estimate the value of information provided by the NuVal shelf nutrition label―a prominent example of a new interpretive approach to front-of-package nutrition labeling that provides a multiple-level nutrition symbol. The rollout of NuVal at a supermarket in a Midwest town allowed us to estimate a mixed logit demand model for yogurt using hous...

We present IncucyteDRC, an R package for the analysis of data from live cell imaging cell proliferation experiments carried out on the Essen Biosciences IncuCyte ZOOM instrument. The package provides a simple workflow for summarising data into a form that can be used to calculate dose response curves and EC50 values for small molecule inhibitors. Data from different cell lines, or cell lines gr...

The PUPIL package (Program for User Package Interfacing and Linking) originally was developed to interface different programs for multiscale calculations in materials sciences (Torras et al., J Comput Aided Mater Des 2006, 13, 201; Torras et al., Comput Phys Commun 2007, 177, 265). Here we present an extension of PUPIL to computational chemistry by interfacing two widely used computational chem...

Under Oregon’s 1989 legislative package, the Medicaid portion of the Oregon Health Plan was only one of its two critical pieces. The other was the requirement that employers provide insurance to employees, with the prioritized list as the minimal benefit package. Small businesses lobbied for the repeal of this part of the legislation, and on January 1, 1996, it died. Gone was the hope of nearly...
