BACKGROUND The National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners uses a standardized timing format for all osteopathic medical candidates across all stations in the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination-USA Level 2-Performance Evaluation (COMLEX-USA Level 2-PE). Examination standardization, and therefore validity, is weakened if time administered affects student performance. O...

Since its inception, osteopathic medicine has sought to identify the mechanical causes of disease and to understand the body's structure-function relationship. Research conducted during the past 25 years has demonstrated that the architectural principles of tensegrity can be applied to biological organisms (termed biotensegrity) and that these principles can demonstrate the mechanical structure...

Organizations present their existence on social media to gain followers and reach out the crowds. Social media-related tasks applications, such as graph construction, sentiment analysis, bot detection, are required identify entities' account types. Some applications focus personal accounts, whereas others only need nonpersonal accounts. This paper addresses classification problem using minimum ...

CONTEXT The National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners uses the Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) Global Rating Tool to score candidate performance in OMT during standardized patient encounters. To the authors' knowledge, no validity research has been published on the underlying constructs measured by this instrument to date. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether the OMT Global Rating Too...

DNA computing has a rich history of paradigms with great expressive power. However, far less power is needed for data manipulation. Indeed, the relational algebra, yardstick database systems, expressible in first-order logic, and thus powerful than Turing-complete models. models have to account many varied scenarios. A implementation manipulations might be nimbler perform its operation faster m...
