Using the Clear Communication Index to Improve Materials for a Behavioral Intervention [PDF]
Health Communication, 2018 Ensuring that written materials used in behavioral interventions are clear is important to support behavior change. This study used the Clear Communication Index (CCI) to assess the original and revised versions of three types of written participant materials from the SIPsmartER intervention. Materials were revised based on original scoring. Scores for

Refractive index matching applied to fecal smear clearing [PDF]
Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2005 Thick smears of human feces can be made adequate for identification of helminth eggs by means of refractive index matching. Although this effect can be obtained by simply spreading a fleck of feces on a microscope slide, a glycerol solution has been routinely used to this end.

Daily Clearness Index Profiles Cluster Analysis for Photovoltaic System [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, 2017 Due to various weather perturbation effects, the stochastic nature of real-life solar irradiance has been a major issue for solar photovoltaic (PV) system planning and performance evaluation. This paper aims to discover clearness index (CI) patterns and to construct centroids for the daily CI profiles.

Quantification of the Solar Radiative Regime Variability Based on the Clearness Index
Annals of West University of Timisoara: Physics, 2016 The fluctuation of solar radiation at ground level represents a challenge in modeling the time series of solar irradiance. A procedure for the quantification of the instability of the solar radiative regime is reported.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer, with an overall survival now surpassing 90% in developed countries. However, treatments are not without adverse effects. In this study, we apply the severe toxicity‐free survival (STFS) framework to determine the prevalence of 21 physician‐defined severe ...
