Using QALYs as an outcome for assessing global prediction accuracy in diabetes simulation models by Dakin, H, Gao, N, Leal, J, Holman, RR, Tran-Duy, A, Clarke, P

“…QALYs relate&nbsp;directly to decision-making and combine mortality and diverse clinical events into a single&nbsp;measure using evidence-based weights that reflect population preferences. (2) To explore the&nbsp;usefulness of Q2 (Q-squared), the proportional reduction in error, as a model performance metric&nbsp;and compare it with other metrics: MSE; mean absolute error; bias (mean residual); and R2.…”

DNA fragmentation, an indicator of apoptosis, in cultured black tiger shrimp penaeus monodon infected with white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) by Sahtout, A.H., Hassan, M.D., Shariff, M.

“…The 10 specimens that gave PCR-positive results for WSSV by nested PCR only (i.e., 5 grossly normal shrimp and 5 grossly positive for WSSV) gave mean counts of 16 ± 8% TUNEL-positive cells, while the 25 specimens PCR positive by 1-step PCR gave mean counts of 40 ± 7% TUNEL-positive cells. …”

Evaluating the effect of n-butanol additive on particulate matter emission in diesel engine by Zhu, Qiren, Zong, Yichen, Tan, Yong Ren, Lyu, Jieyao, Yu, Wenbin, Yang, Wenming, Kraft, Markus

“…The results indicate that the addition of n-butanol can improve the mixing process of fuel and oxidizer and result in a lower mean chamber temperature. The addition of n-butanol can also reduce NOx emission (up to 25 %) because the lower mean chamber temperature caused by the lower heating value of n-butanol tends to reduce NOx emission although there is extra oxygen content in n-butanol. …”
