Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tubercu-losis, is an infectious disease which remains a global health problem. The chest radiography is the common method employed to assess the tuberculosis evolution. Despite the ...
Returns to education: epistemological problems of quantification and its impact on the formulation of policies
(Universidad Veracruzana, 2009-03)
The development of researches which approach the study of returns to education in order to influence on the making of decisions is frequent. There are conventional procedures to quantify them and to grant scientism to the ...
Predator trophic guild assignment : the importance of the method of diet quantification
(Soc Natl Protection Nature Acclimatation France, 2000-04)
We quantitatively assessed the effect of three methods of diet quantification (MDQ) (based on frequency of occurrence of prey, dry weight of prey remains, or estimation of fresh biomass ingested) on guild classification ...
Simulation-based benchmarking of isoform quantification in single-cell RNA-seq
(2018)
Abstract
Single-cell RNA-seq has the potential to facilitate isoform quantification as the confounding factor of a mixed population of cells is eliminated. However, best practice for using existing quantification ...
Framework for Analysis and Identification of Nonlinear Distributed Parameter Systems using Bayesian Uncertainty Quantification based on Generalized Polynomial Chaos
In this work, the Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) approaches combined systematically to analyze and identify systems. The generalized Polynomial Chaos (gPC) expansion is applied to reduce the computational effort. The ...
