Particle flow rate from the airways as fingerprint diagnostics in mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit: a randomised controlled study

Introduction Mechanical ventilation can be monitored by analysing particles in exhaled air as measured by particle flow rate (PFR).This could be a potential method of detecting ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) before changes here in conventional parameters can be detected.The aim of this study was to investigate PFR during different ventilatio

Applications of Cluster Analysis to the Creation of Perfectionism Profiles: A Comparison of two Clustering Approaches

Although traditional clustering methods (e.g., K-means) have been shown to be useful in the social sciences it is often difficult for such methods to handle situations where clusters in the population overlap or are ambiguous.Fuzzy clustering, a method already recognized in many disciplines, provides a more flexible alternative to these traditional
