Kappa-deformed random-matrix theory based on Kaniadakis statistics

open access: yes, 2012
We present a possible extension of the random-matrix theory, which is widely used to describe spectral fluctuations of chaotic systems. By considering the Kaniadakis non-Gaussian statistics, characterized by the index {\kappa} (Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy is

Nutritional status of children and adolescents based on body mass index: agreement between World Health Organization and International Obesity Task Force

open access: yesRevista Paulista de Pediatria, 2014
Objective: To investigate the agreement between two international criteria for classification of children and adolescents nutritional status. Methods: The study included 778 girls and 863 boys aged from six to 13 years old. Body mass and height were

The invariant ion-acoustic waves in the plasma

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
The space plasmas have been found empirically to be separated into those residing far from the classical thermal equilibrium and those residing near equilibrium. The modern formalism of the kappa distributions explains this distinction under the value of

Characterizing cometary electrons with kappa distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The Rosetta spacecraft has escorted comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko since 6 August 2014 and has offered an unprecedented opportunity to study plasma physics in the coma.

Beyond kappa: an informational index for diagnostic agreement in dichotomous and multivalue ordered-categorical ratings [PDF]

open access: yesMedical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 2020
AbstractAgreement measures are useful tools to both compare different evaluations of the same diagnostic outcomes and validate new rating systems or devices. Cohen’s kappa (κ) certainly is the most popular agreement method between two raters, and proved its effectiveness in the last sixty years.

On the non-thermal kappa-distributed electrons in planetary nebulae and HII regions: the kappa index and its correlations with other nebular properties

open access: yes, 2015
Recently, a suspicion arose that the free electrons in planetary nebulae (PNe) and HII regions might have non-thermal energy distributions. In this scenario, a kappa index is introduced to characterize the electron energy distributions, with smaller ...

Quality of care for NSAID users: development of an assessment tool [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Objective. Assessments of NSAID use based on authoritative guidelines typically overlook patients’ views and nuances of \ud medical history. Our objective was to develop an assessment tool that incorporates these aspects, and technical items, for quality

Open source R for applying machine learning to RPAS remote sensing images [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The increase in the number of remote sensing platforms, ranging from satellites to close-range Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS), is leading to a growing demand for new image processing and classification tools.

Which index should be used to measure primary surgical outcome for unilateral cleft lip and palate patients? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Objective: To determine the optimal dentoalveolar measure to assess unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) patient plaster models. Design: The models of 34 patients with UCLP taken at 5, 10, and 15–20 years of age were scored by two examiners on two ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.
