The relative importance of each nanofluid parameter can be estimated as a sum of the gained scores (Table 1).
Patients with high Days Gained scores indicate that their tumor growth rate was highly reduced after therapy, while low Days Gained scores indicate their tumor growth rate changed very little in response to therapy (Fig. 3).
There was no statistical difference between CTCAE scores in 19 cases after IMRT (1, 4, 14, and 0 patients gained scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3, resp).
The missing values were substituted according to the method the SF-36 developers have suggested in order to gain scores for missing values [ 18].
Generally, the LPS increases with the gain score.
We used both 'absolute learning gain scores' and 'normalized learning gain scores' because we were concerned about the impact of ceiling effects in normalized learning gain score calculations (e.g., pre-test scores constrained possible gains; see also Bao 2006).
That is why the higher the actual score, the lower the gain score is.
Table 1 A general description of actual, mediated, and gain scores Mean (SD) Maximum score obtained Minimum score obtained Number of learners Actual score 12.09 (5.56) 24 0 46 Mediated score 17.72 (3.73) 24 6 Gain score 5.63 (3.10) 12 0.
Another score not generated by the program but mentioned by Poehner and Lantolf (2013) was the gain score.
The following information would be generated from the program: actual score, mediated score, LPS, gain score, and the record of the students' selections through the process.
