this review provides the basic principle and rational for roc analysis of rating and continuous diagnostic test results versus a gold standard. derived indexes of accuracy, in particular area under the curve (auc) has a meaningful interpretation for disease classification from healthy subjects. the methods of estimate of auc and its testing in single diagnostic test and also comparative studies...

The potential of different DNA based molecular markers was examined for the detection of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the waxy gene and a microsatellite (SSR) sequence closely linked to it in a collection of rice varieties. DNA was extracted from leaf samples of 68 different rice cultivars by the CTAB method and specific primers were designed for the amplification of waxy gene and SS...

We consider the problem of finding a measure from the given values of its logarithmic potential on the support. It is well known that a solution to this problem is given by the generalized Laplacian. The case of our main interest is when the support is contained in a rectifiable curve, and the measure is absolutely continuous with respect to the arclength on this curve. Then the generalized Lap...

Approximate natural orbitals are investigated as a way to improve a Monte Carlo configuration interaction (MCCI) calculation. We introduce a way to approximate the natural orbitals in MCCI and test these and approximate natural orbitals from Møller-Plesset perturbation theory and quadratic configuration interaction with single and double substitutions in MCCI calculations of single-point energi...

The mucosal potential difference in the body of the stomach was measured in 18 patients with gastric ulcers, five with gastritis, and three with pernicious anaemia. The results were compared with those of 12 normal volunteers. Significantly lower than normal levels were found in the groups of patients with gastric ulcers and gastritis. The patients with pernicious anaemia had even lower potenti...

The interaction between Euler buckling and Brazier instability in an orthotropic cylindrical tube was investigated. A simple closed-form interaction curve was obtained by using the principle of minimum potential energy including the 3D extended Brazier’s 2D type cross-section ovalization and the potential energy of axial compression. The interaction curve consists of an Euler buckling load and ...
