This series of experiments shows that the proposed IaaS optimization achieves distinguished outcome compared with ordinary EC2 VMs whilst it overcomes the limitations of TARGO.
We sought to determine a cut point for PI that could distinguish outcome in patients with MCL.
The Gallamini and Deauville criteria were shown to better distinguish outcome between patients with positive vs. negative scans than the IHP, with accuracy of 88%, 84%, and 71% respectively.
The fact that a difference could be seen already with a small series suggests the importance of proliferation to distinguish outcome in ER-positive cases whatever their percentage of ER-positive cells.
Some years ago, a document of the American Society of Clinical Oncology distinguished the outcomes of a treatment into patient- outcomes (overall survival and quality of life) and cancer-outcomes (response rate), giving higher priority to patient outcomes.
With regard to the outcomes, we distinguished between clinical outcomes (ICU length of stay (LOS) and mortality) and process outcomes (adherence to screening for the presence of delirium, knowledge of delirium, incidence of delirium, use of antipsychotics) [ 12].
Whereas QI measures the ability of each particular outcome or sequence of outcomes to empirically distinguish hypotheses, EQI measures the tendency of experiments or observations to produce distinguishing outcomes.
Furthermore, the threshold value of visual assessment for distinguishing outcomes is another major concern of using interim PET/CT as a predictive marker.
Cordingley et al. (2005, p. 1) further elaborate on the outcomes of professional development, distinguishing between outcomes for teachers (such as greater confidence, enhanced knowledge and practice) and outcomes for students (such as enhancement of motivation or improvements in performance, i.e. ultimately achievement).
Different stages can be distinguished in outcome prediction research [ 80].
