Evaluation of commercial enzyme immunoassays for detection of hepatitis delta antigen and anti-hepatitis delta virus HDV and immunoglobulin M anti-HDV antibodies

Among interactive system developers and users there is now much agreement that usability is an essential quality of software systems. The introduction of usability evaluation methods (UEMs) to assess and improve usability in such systems has led to a variety of alternative approaches and a general lack of understanding of the capabilities and limitations of each. This confusion has intensified the need for practitioners and others to determine which methods are more effective, and in what ways and for what purposes. However, UEMs cannot be eval...

Lazy programs are beautiful, but they are slow because they build many thunks. Simple measurements show that most of these thunks are unnecessary: they are in fact always evaluated, or are always cheap. In this paper we describe Optimistic Evaluation --- an evaluation strategy that exploits this observation. Optimistic Evaluation complements compile-time analyses with run-time experiments: it evaluates a thunk speculatively, but has an abortion mechanism to back out if it makes a bad choice. A run-time adaption mechanism records expressions fou...

Abstract Although the usefulness of evaluating documents has become generally accepted among communication professionals, the supporting research that puts evaluation practices empirically to the test is only beginning to emerge. This article presents an overview of the available research on troubleshooting evaluation methods. Four lines of research are distinguished concerning the validity of evaluation methods, sample composition, sample size, and the implementation of evaluation results during revision

Abstract Several applications of virtual bronchoscopy (VB) have been described the last three years (1997-2000), but none in patients with hemoptysis. To evaluate the diagnostic aid it might offer, the authors applied VB in patients with hemoptysis and normal or nonlocalising chest X-rays. 16 patients, smokers and nonsmokers, aged 41-77, underwent both fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) and thin section of 3 mm helical computed tomography (CT) of the thorax with simultaneous administration of contrast material. The data were then reconstructed usin...

Abstract This paper constructs 3-level evaluation model based on ACSI model and confirm the attribute weights by the means of entropy weight method, then compute the overall customer satisfaction index making use of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method and illustrate the method by an empirical investigation. Results provide policymakers with insights into consumers' mental perception for M-commerce.

Abstract In datamining post-processing, rule selection using objective rule evaluation indices is one of a useful method to find out valuable knowledge from mined patterns. However, the relationship between an index value and expertspsila criteria has never been clarified. In order to determine the relationship, we have developed a method to obtain learning models from a dataset consisting of objective rule evaluation indices and evaluation labels for rules. In this study, we have compared the accuracies of classification learning algorithms f...
