Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA Distribution-Free Bayesian Approach for Indirect ComparisonsJohanna S. van Zyl, Jack D. TubbsThe objective of this paper is to consider an indirect comparison between treatments B and C when each have been compared directly to treatment A in separate studies. Problems of this type are common in Network Meta-Analysis (NMA). A commonly used method assumes that the underlying data, Y, are normally distributed and µ = E(Y) is the measure of clinical … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 3 Jul 2019 · 6,687 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesComparing the Diagnostics Accuracy of CD4+ T-Lymphocyte Count and Percent as a Surrogate Markers of Pediatric HIV DiseaseMusie Ghebremichael, Haben Michael, Jack Tubbs, Elijah PaintsilThe percentage CD4+ T-lymphocytes is used to monitor pediatric HIV disease. However, in resource-limited settings, enumerating the percentage of CD4+ T-lymphocytes is hampered by the lack of laboratory infrastructure and trained technicians. In this paper, we investigated the performances of the percentage and absolute CD4+ T-lymphocytes as markers of pediatric HIV disease progression using data from HIV-infected children enrolled through … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 3 Apr 2019 · 7,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA Secure Model for Storage and Dissemination of Examination Results: A Case Study of Zambia Technical Education Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training AuthorityLister Mseteka, Jackson PhiriMost developing countries and public higher institutions of learning have low levels of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and hence face challenges in securing information and information systems. Therefore, dissemination of examination results through web and mobile applications usually raise security concerns on how to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of students’ examination results due to susceptibility of web … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 1 Feb 2019 · 8,058 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEvaluation of Different Oral Rehydration Solutions for Diarrheic Dairy CalvesEvangelina Miqueo, Jackeline Thais da Silva, Fernanda Lavínia Moura Silva et al.Regardless of the causative agent, diarrhea results in large loss of water and electrolytes, which leads to reduced performance and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate oral rehydration solutions in order to determine the most effective in restoring electrolytes and water while maintaining animal performance. Forty two calves (14 per treatment) were distributed in one of three … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 26 Nov 2018 · 8,385 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAn Investigation into Information Security Threats from Insiders and how to Mitigate them: A Case Study of Zambian Public SectorMelissa K.
