A relative entropy rate method for path space sensitivity analysis of stationary complex stochastic dynamics [PDF]
We propose a new sensitivity analysis methodology for complex stochastic dynamics based on the Relative Entropy Rate. The method becomes computationally feasible at the stationary regime of the process and involves the calculation of suitable observables

Relative Sensitivities of Viruses to Different Species of Interferon [PDF]
Some viruses were found to be more sensitive than others to the action of interferons from certain species of animals but less sensitive to interferons from other species. Vaccinia virus was the most sensitive to mouse and hamster interferons of five viruses tested, but the least sensitive of these five viruses to human, rabbit, and bat interferons ...

Observation impact in data assimilation: the effect of non-Gaussian observation error [PDF]
Data assimilation methods which avoid the assumption of Gaussian error statistics are being developed for geoscience applications. We investigate how the relaxation of the Gaussian assumption affects the impact observations have within the assimilation ...

A heptagonal PCF-based oil sensor to detect fuel adulteration using terahertz spectrum
A heptagonal photonic crystal fiber-based oil sensor is proposed and numerically investigated in this paper in order to detect the adulteration of petrol with kerosene using terahertz (THz) signal.

Using the VALGENT-3 framework to assess the clinical and analytical performance of the RIATOL qPCR HPV genotyping assay [PDF]
Background and objective: The VALGENT framework is developed to assess the clinical performance of HPV tests that offer genotyping capability. Samples from the VALGENT-3 panel are used to identify an optimal viral concentration threshold for the RIATOL ...

The relative sensitivity of barium swallow examination
In all the cases of P.V Syndrome, it is better to find out by endoscopy even if barium swallow is normal. Thus in P. V. syndrome, the accuracy of barium swallow is only 19% and 81% are reported as false negative.In strictures and malignancies, the level of lesion reported by barium swallow should not be relied upon in all the cases, and they should be ...

Motion processing deficits in migraine are related to contrast sensitivity [PDF]
Background: There are conflicting reports concerning the ability of people with migraine to detect and discriminate visual motion. Previous studies used different displays and none adequately assessed other parameters that could affect performance, such ...

Bayesian estimation of diagnostic accuracy of fecal culture and PCR-based tests for the detection of Salmonella enterica in California cull dairy cattle. [PDF]
Epidemiological studies of low prevalence disease problems are often hindered by the high cost of diagnostic testing. The objective of this study was to evaluate PCR screening of both individual and pooled fecal samples from culled dairy cows for the ...

On the sensitivity of generic porous optical sensors [PDF]
A porous material was considered as a platform for optical sensing. It was envisaged that the porous material was infiltrated by a fluid which contains an agent to be sensed.
