Serum IgG2 levels are specifically associated with whole-body insulin-mediated glucose disposal in non-diabetic offspring of type 2 diabetic individuals. a cross-sectional study [PDF]
, 2018 .Preclinical studies suggested that IgG2c isotype may specifically impair skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity in mice. In this study we investigated the association between serum levels of the four IgG subclasses and insulin sensitivity in non-diabetic

Soft phonation index — a sensitive parameter? [PDF]
Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery, 2009 The diagnosis of voice disorders is based on perceptual and acoustic paradigms. Modern acoustic analysis systems are relatively inexpensive and user friendly. One aspect of laryngeal function that is of great interest is the extent of vocal fold closure.

Indexing Cost Sensitive Prediction
CoRR, 2014 Predictive models are often used for real-time decision making. However, typical machine learning techniques ignore feature evaluation cost, and focus solely on the accuracy of the machine learning models obtained utilizing all the features available. We develop algorithms and indexes to support cost-sensitive prediction, i.e., making decisions using ...

Development and validation of two self-reported tools for insulin resistance and hypertension risk assessment in a European cohort : the Feel4Diabetes-study [PDF]
, 2020 Early identification of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension (HTN) risk may improve prevention and promote public health. Implementation of self-reported scores for risk assessment provides an alternative cost-effective tool.

Irrigation -yield response factor of winter wheat for different growth phases
Journal of Agrometeorology, 2009 The yield response factor of semi-dwarf winter wheat was determined from field experimental data conducted during three consecutive years (2002-03 to 2004-05). The yield response factor (ky) varies depending on growth phases and also among seasons.

A Modification of the Biotic Index of Organic Stream Pollution to Remedy Problems and Permit Its Use Throughout the Year [PDF]
, 2018 The biotic index of the arthropod fauna of streams is modified by limiting to ten the number of individuals in each taxon used in its calculation. This reduces detrimental effects on the index of certain fairly tolerant taxa in clean streams, effects of ...

Sensitivity – Local index to control chaoticity or gradient globally – [PDF]
Neural Networks, 2021 Here, we introduce a fully local index named "sensitivity" for each neuron to control chaoticity or gradient globally in a neural network (NN). We also propose a learning method to adjust it named "sensitivity adjustment learning (SAL)". The index is the gradient magnitude of its output with respect to its inputs.
