Scoping review shows wide variation in the definitions of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants and calls for a consensus

Abstract The use of different definitions for bronchopulmonary dysplasia ( BPD ) has been an ongoing challenge. We searched papers published in English from 2010 and 2015 report...

Learning to Count: Robust Estimates for Labeled Distances between Molecular Sequences

Researchers routinely estimate distances between molecular sequences using continuous-time Markov chain models. We present a new method, robust counting, that protects against t...

A comparison of policy and direct practice stakeholder perceptions of factors affecting evidence-based practice implementation using concept mapping

EBP implementation is a complex process, and different stakeholders may hold different opinions regarding the relative importance of the impact of EBP implementation. Implementa...

Multivariate Smoothing Spline Functions

Given data $z_i = g(t_i ) + \varepsilon _i , 1 \leqq i \leqq n$, where g is the unknown function, the $t_i $ are known d-dimensional variables in a domain $\Omega $, and the $\v...

Insect Chromosome Numbers and Eusociality

Eusocial insects have higher diploid chromosome numbers than most of their closest phylogenetic relatives, and cockroaches (Blattidae) with gregarious offspring have higher 2N's...

Formation Control and Collision Avoidance for Multi-Agent Systems and a Connection between Formation Infeasibility and Flocking Behavior

A feedback control strategy that achieves convergence of a multi-agent system to a desired formation configuration avoiding at the same time collisions is proposed. The collisio...

Perspectives on Variation

The significant advances witnessed over the last years in the broad field of linguistic variation testify to a growing convergence between sociolinguistic approaches and the som...

Using Formative Measures in International Marketing Models: A Cautionary Tale Using Consumer Animosity as an Example

Purpose – Despite the increasing use of formative measurement models in literature, little is known about potential consequences for substantive theory testing. Against this bac...

Feature selection for multiclass discrimination via mixed-integer linear programming

We reformulate branch-and-bound feature selection employing L/sub /spl infin// or particular L/sub p/ metrics, as mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) problems, affording con...
