AbstractObjectivesTo assess the validity of Behçet's Syndrome Overall Damage Index (BODI) and Behçet's Disease Damage Index (BDI) as tools for the detection of damage accrual in Behçet's patients compared to Vasculitis Damage Index (VDI). Also, to evaluate the correlation and the interclass correlation among the 3 indices to find out their consistency ...

Developing a hurricane damage index
2010Accurate information on damage caused by landfalling hurricanes benefits decision making and response of groups such as emergency managers and insurance companies. Estimates of potential damage made in advance of landfall using readily available storm information would provide useful guidance for preparations and rapid response.

Validation of a radiographic damage index in chronic gout
Arthritis Care & Research, 2007AbstractObjectiveTo identify a valid method to measure radiographic damage in patients with chronic gout.MethodsThe scoring method that best represented radiographic damage in individual joints was analyzed by comparing a gold standard rheumatologist consensus global score with recognized scoring methods, including the Sharp/van der Heijde erosion and ...

A novel color damaged index of digital images
2015 11th International Conference on Natural Computation (ICNC), 2015A novel color damage index of digital images is proposed based on the color characteristic histogram distance and primary and fundamental color distribution characters perceived by the human vision system. The proposed arithmetic measures the quality of an image which is damaged by the JPEG image compression scheme through comparing the cumulative ...

Enzymuria as an index of renal damage in canine leishmaniasis
Veterinary Record, 1997Urinary enzyme activities of alanine aminopeptidase, gammaglutamyl transpeptidase, alkaline phosphatase, N‐acetyl‐β‐D‐glucosaminidase and β‐glucuronidase were determined in 15 dogs with leishmaniasis and in a group of eight normal dogs. Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen concentrations were also measured and renal histology was examined.

Stylus damage prevention index
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 2000Stylus methods for measuring surfaces have sometimes been blamed for causing damage to the surface because of the stylus pressure. This paper investigates this possibility and develops a ‘potential damage index’ which takes into account the instrument parameters, static and dynamic, and surface parameters.

EVALUATION OF STRENGTH AND DAMAGE INDEXES FOR BUILDINGS
2006In order to evaluate and improve seismic capacity of existing buildings seismic safety evaluation and retrofitting are very important tasks. Engineers make these evaluations with different methods, from too simple to too sophisticated ones. The presented method combines experimental data and engineering knowledge for evaluation of the seismic safety ...

Damage Detection Utilizing the Damage Index Method to a Benchmark Structure
Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 2004This paper addresses the first generation benchmark problem on structural health monitoring developed by the ASCE Task Group on Structural Health Monitoring. The focus of the problem is a four-story model of an existing physical model at the University of British Columbia where simulated data are used for the system identification.

A new flexibility-based damage index for structural damage detection
Smart Materials and Structures, 2013A new flexibility-based damage index has been proposed for structural damage detection. It is derived from the strain energy theory that the ratio of the flexural stiffness of the structure before and after damage is a function of the uniform load surface (ULS) curvature.
