The DAS28 is a statistically derived index consisting of number of swollen joints, number of tender joints, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and general health [ 18, 19].
Then, an integrated performance index consisting of maximum line-of-sight angle rate and minimum energy consumption is designed, and optimal control is employed to obtain optimal maneuver strategy when the encounter time is determined and undetermined, respectively.
The strategy was based on an index, the G-Index, consisting of 24 governance provisions that weaken shareholder rights.
We created a composite index consisting of z-scores of the following variables: proportion of homes receiving public assistance, proportion of non-Hispanic black residents, proportion of overall deaths occurring in the home, relative surface temperature, proportion of trees.
GeNorm (Vandesompele et al. 2002) and NormFinder (Andersen et al. 2004) algorithms were applied to rank the four candidates according to their expression stability, and a reference index consisting of the geometric mean of the best-performing candidates was used for RT-qPCR data normalization.
The Diagnosis Count (DC) is a simple and universally available comorbidity index consisting of a numeric sum of all secondary diagnoses and has been demonstrated to be predictive of overall mortality and hospital resource utilization [ 16, 17].
The SP-Index is designed as a two-level index mechanism consisting of a sliced pyramid space partition index and a distributed B-Tree index.
The shoulder pain and disability index is a self administered, shoulder specific index consisting of 13 items divided into two subscales pain (five items) and function (eight items)—with responses to each item recorded on a 10 point scale.
Dynamic programming is used to estimate optimal tip speed ratio (TSR) and streamwise spacing of the turbines by using a mixed-objective performance index consisting of total power production from the entire turbine array with the penalty of the average turbulence intensity impacting over the rotor discs.
Condom-use knowledge is a subscale of the HIV/STI risk-reduction knowledge index consisting of items on the correct use of condoms [ 37].
These authors found no significant impact of ER, PR, or HER-2/neu expression on recurrence risk in multivariate analyses, although Ringberg et. al. did observe a significant relation between a biologic index consisting of seven different markers and risk of DCIS recurrence on women who did not receive breast irradiation.
