An Index of Hospital Performance
Medical Care, 1978The purpose of this paper is to describe a simple index for computing relative hospital performance. An analysis of 33 short-stay general hospitals in New South Wales was used to develop the index. The index is based on patterns of admissions for each hospital, adjusting the hospital's crude death rate for the age distribution of patients treated and ...

Glycemic Index and Endurance Performance
International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism, 2010The aim of this review is to provide an up-to-date summary of the evidence surrounding glycemic index (GI) and endurance performance. Athletes are commonly instructed to consume low-GI (LGI) carbohydrate (CHO) before exercise, but this recommendation appears to be based on the results of only a few studies, whereas others have found that the GI of CHO ...

Effectively creating indexes within your databases will single handedly provide the largest increase in application performance. Unfortunately, creating indexes incorrectly or without regard for the application’s behavior can actually hinder performance.

A performance index for semicoherent structures
Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2004Abstract The index introduced here provides a normalized measure of the effectiveness of any semicoherent structure. We study the mathematical properties of the index and derive different axiomatic characterizations for it. Moreover, close relationships are shown to reliability functions and also to the Birnbaum structural importance measure—for ...

Are 'Indexes' an Index of Physician Performance?
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1985In this issue of theArchives, Hansen and associates 1 present data from a chart audit reflecting physician behavior in the interpretation of RBC indexes. The authors begin with the fact that patients having low mean RBC volumes and high RBC counts relative to those volumes will commonly be found to have thalassemic syndromes if properly examined ...

A performance comparison of bitmap indexes
Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management - CIKM'01, 2001We present a comparison of two new word-aligned schemes with some schemes for compressing bitmap indexes, including the well-known byte-aligned bitmap code (BBC). On both synthetic data and real application data, the new word-aligned schemes use only 50% more space, but perform logical operations on compressed data 12 times faster than BBC.

Glycaemic Index and Optimal Performance
Sports Medicine, 1997It is widely documented that athletes should consume carbohydrates prior to, during and after exercise. Ingestion of carbohydrates at these times will optimise performance and recovery. In spite of this knowledge, there is a paucity of information available to athletes concerning the types of carbohydrate foods to select.

Performance Evaluation of the Silhouette Index
2015This article provides the performance evaluation of the Silhouette index, which is based on the so called silhouette width. However, the index can be calculated in two ways, and so, the first approach uses the mean of the mean silhouettes through all the clusters. On the other hand, the second one is realized by averaging the silhouettes over the whole

Journal of Electronic Gaming and Esports, 2023
The assessment of an athlete’s performance can play a key role in determining their current state, their readiness to compete, the impact of an experimental manipulation, and/or the influence of an intervention. At present, there is limited empirical evidence stating the indicators that encapsulate individual performance within any esport.

Echocardiography as an Index of Cardiac Performance
Hospital Practice, 1978Ultrasound imaging of the heart provides a noninvasive technique for assessing cardiac performance and diagnosing a wide range of disorders. Recent improvements in two-dimensional, planar instrumentation promise to make echocardiography even more versatile, permitting more comprehensive views of left ventricular function, valve orifice areas, and the ...
