The accurate simulation of SWAT can assist the government in making correct decisions about water management practices, which are important for human health, agricultural management, industry development, environmental quality, flood risk assessment, and recreation. In this project, the PIs were trying to improve the simulation accuracy of the SWAT model through developing new algorithm to obta...

The use of percutaneous mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices, including Impella and Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) has increased recent times. We aimed to evaluate the impact choice MCS device on healthcare resource utilization. queried National Inpatient Sample registry between October 2016 December 2018 identify adults admitted for ACS relate...

Abstract. Machine learning has shown great promise for simulating hydrological phenomena. However, the development of machine-learning-based models requires advanced skills from diverse fields, such as programming and modeling. Additionally, data pre-processing post-processing when training testing machine are a time-intensive process. In this study, we developed python-based framework that sim...

Relapse among multiple sclerosis (MS) patients is associated with disability progression and worsening outcomes. This study aims to identify characteristics of inpatient MS relapse using claims data machine learning techniques. a new prescription or administration disease modifying therapy (DMT) were identified based on ICD-9/10 diagnosis codes in de-identified Optum® Clinformatics® Data Mart f...

Background: In hospitalized patients with COVID-19, acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated higher mortality, but data are lacking on healthcare resource utilization (HRU) and costs related to AKI, community-acquired AKI (CA-AKI), hospital-acquired (HA-AKI). Objectives: To quantify the burden of CA-AKI, HA-AKI among inpatients COVID-19. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included COVID-19...

Assume p∗ is a meager type in a superstable theory T . We investigate definability properties of p∗-closure. We prove that if T has < 2א0 countable models then the multiplicity rank M of every type p is finite. We improve Saffe’s conjecture. 0. Introduction. Throughout the paper, T is a superstable theory in a countable language L, and we work within a monster model C = C of T . The general ref...
