Virus Sensitivity Index of UV disinfection
Environmental Technology, 2015A new concept of Virus Sensitivity Index (VSI) is defined as the ratio between the first-order inactivation rate constant of a virus, ki, and that of MS2-phage during UV disinfection, kr. MS2-phage is chosen as the reference virus because it is recommended as a virus indicator during UV reactor design and validation by the US Environmental Protection ...

A Sensitivity Analysis of the Social Vulnerability Index
Risk Analysis, 2008The Social Vulnerability Index (SoVI), created by Cutter et al. (2003), examined the spatial patterns of social vulnerability to natural hazards at the county level in the United States in order to describe and understand the social burdens of risk. The purpose of this article is to examine the sensitivity of quantitative features underlying the SoVI ...

Automated Classification of an Environmental Sensitivity Index
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2005Environmental Sensitivity Indices (ESI) composed of many field-data are essential for monitoring and control systems. At the beginning of the last decade an ESI of the German Wadden Sea was developed for use by the relevant authorities. This ESI was derived by experts semi-manually analysing the extensive field data-set.

The Review of Economics and Statistics, 1932
THE weekly sensitive price index, to which there has been frequent reference in both the Weekly Letters and this REVIEW, was designed as an aid in forecasting intermediate fluctuations in business.' The series selected, therefore, were those which were found to be most consistent in anticipating such intermediate movements during the years upon which ...

Improving the sensitivity of the Barthel Index for stroke rehabilitation
Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 1989The Barthel Index is considered to be the best of the ADL measurement scales. However, there are some scales that are more sensitive to small changes in functional independence than the Barthel Index. The sensitivity of the Barthel Index can be improved by expanding the number of categories used to record improvement in each ADL function.

Theoretical Shock Sensitivity Index for Explosives
The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2012On the basis of simple physical arguments, the ratio of the weakest bond dissociation energy of nitro compounds to their decomposition enthalpy per covalent bond is put forward as a practical shock sensitivity index. Without any empirical fitting, it correlates remarkably well (R ≥ 0.95) with shock sensitivity data reported for 16 molecules spanning ...

Health Indexes Sensitive to Medical Care Variation
International Journal of Health Services, 1977Data from the fifteen Hospital Regions of England and Wales were used to determine the utility of health outcome indexes, derived from existing health statistics, for monitoring the quality and effectiveness of health services. Outcome measures reflect not only the impact of the system of care but also the sociodemographic characteristics of the ...

A new kind of sensitivity index for multivariate output
Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2016Mathematical and computational models with correlated multivariate output are commonly used for risk assessment and decision support in engineering. Traditional methods for sensitivity analysis of the model with scalar output fail to provide satisfactory results for this multivariate case.

On locality-sensitive indexing in generic metric spaces
Proceedings of the Third International Conference on SImilarity Search and APplications, 2010The concept of Locality-sensitive Hashing (LSH) has been successfully used for searching in high-dimensional data and a number of locality-preserving hash functions have been introduced. In order to extend the applicability of the LSH approach to a general metric space, we focus on a recently presented Metric Index (M-Index), we redefine its hashing ...

Context-Sensitivity Beyond Indexicality
Dialogue, 2003RésuméCertains noms communs (“étranger”, “ennemi”, “voisin”, etc.) et certains adjectifs (“national”, “local”, “domestique”, etc.) sont sensibles au contexte d' énonciation. On appelle ces expressions des contextuels. Les énonciations d'une phrase contenant un contextuel n'ont pas toutes les même conditions de vérité.
