Digitalization gradually transforms digital education technology from being a teaching means to focusing on the student’s abilities. This study analyzes data China Education Baseline Survey of Renmin University using Coarsened Exact Matching (CEM) and quantile regression methods. The Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) is used test net effect students’ academic cognitive OLS result shows that has sign...

OBJECTIVE This study examined whether there were differences in costs for mental health court (MHC) participants and a matched comparison group for three years after a target arrest. METHODS Data from the MacArthur Mental Health Court Study, the first multisite study of MHCs, were used to compare behavioral health treatment and criminal justice costs for MHC participants and a matched group (...

OBJECTIVE Patients with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) have been hypothesized to be at lower risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) because of higher insulin sensitivity. However, PWS patients have a peculiar body composition, i.e. higher fat mass and lower fat-free mass, which may confound such associations. We evaluated whether NAFLD is less frequent in PWS than in non-PWS women match...

BACKGROUND & AIMS To compare treatment failure and survival associated with ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and trans-arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for early-stage HCC in Child-Pugh A cirrhosis patients. METHODS 122 cirrhotic patients (RFA: 61; TACE: 61) were well matched according to cirrhosis severity; tumor size and serum alpha-fetoprotein. TACE was performed in case of...

This paper deals with the problem of graph matching or network alignment for Erd?s–Rényi graphs, which can be viewed as a noisy average-case version isomorphism problem. Let G and $$G'$$ G(n, p) graphs marginally, identified their adjacency matrices. Assume that are correlated such $${\mathbb {E}}[G_{ij} G'_{ij}] = p(1-\alpha )$$ . For permutation $$\pi $$ representing latent between vertices ,...

Transgender women are particularly at risk of HIV infection, but little evidence exists on effective HIV prevention strategies with this population. We evaluated whether Sisters, a peer-led program for transgender women, could reduce HIV risks in Pattaya, Thailand. The study used time-location sampling to recruit 308 transgender women in Pattaya into a behavioral survey in 2011. Coarsened exact...
