This article investigates the performance of several residuals for the Cox proportional hazards regression model to diagnose the influential observations. The standardized and adjusted forms of residuals are proposed for Cox proportional hazards regression model. In addition, Cook’s distance is proposed for both standardized and adjusted residuals. The assessment of different residuals for the ide

A model, based on the solution of two coupled diffusion equations to the excitation and emission wavelengths, respectively, was developed to describe the Raman signal in the time domain in a reflectance configuration in a two-layer medium. The accuracy of the model is characterized by comparison with the results of Monte Carlo simulations. This solver can correctly account for the Raman emitters w

Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is an inflammatory marker that has been shown to predict poorer outcomes in cardiovascular disease and after cardiac surgery. The relationship between suPAR concentrations and postoperative complications after valvular surgery, however, remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of suPAR concentrations for infection, a

Hård konkurrens och osäkra anställningar inom akademin skapar dåliga förutsättningar för både forskning och yrkesbana. Kvinnor drabbas särskilt hårt och deras karriärer stagnerar när de får barn. Forskarpapporna då? De är till synes opåverkade och fortsätter att publicera i allt högre tempo, skriver ekonomiforskaren Olof Ejermo i en ny rapport.

The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a research facility under construction aiming to be the world’s most powerful pulsed neutron source. It is powered by a complex particle accelerator designed to provide a 2.86 ms long proton pulse at 2 GeV with a repetition rate of 14 Hz. Commissioning of the first part of the accelerator has begun and the requirements on the control system interfaces varies

The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a research facility under construction aiming to be the world’s most powerful pulsed neutron source. It is powered by a complex particle accelerator designed to provide a 2.86 ms long proton pulse at 2 GeV with a repetition rate of 14 Hz. Protons are accelerated via cavity fields through various accelerating structures that are powered by Radio-Frequency (RF

Electrical storm (ES) presents a difficult management problem that has predominantly been described in adults and there are limited published data relating to children. We set out to characterize ES in children to assist management based on published literature and own institutional experience. We retrospectively analyzed the records of children presenting with ES to our institution between July 2

Recent research has brought to the fore vital discussions about the logics andassumptions used to evaluate the significance and effectiveness of leadershipdevelopment programs and practices (Vongswasdi et al., 2023). In this chapter,we extend these discussions by reviewing research that considers the logics andassumptions—especially the assumptions about gender and leadership—thatfunction to frame

Kawasaki disease is an important differential diagnosis when evaluating prolonged fever in childhood. Although the aetiology of this vasculitic disease process remains obscure, prompt recognition and treatment significantly reduces vascular complications such as coronary artery aneurysms. Patients presenting with atypical or incomplete diagnostic features remain a challenge. Here the authors descr
