Sentiment Analysis with Tweets Behaviour in Twitter Streaming API

Twitter is a radiant platform with a quick and effective technique to analyze users’ perceptions of activities on social media. Many researchers and industry experts show their attention to Twitter sentiment analysis to recognize the stakeholder group. The sentiment analysis needs an advanced level of approaches including adoption to encompass data sentiment analysis and various machine learning tools. An assessment of sentiment analysis in multiple fields that affect their elevations among the people in real-time by using Naive Bayes and Support Vector Machine (SVM). This paper focused on analysing the distinguished sentiment techniques in tweets behaviour datasets for various spheres such as healthcare, behaviour estimation, etc. In addition, the results in this work explore and validate the statistical machine learning classifiers that provide the accuracy percentages attained in terms of positive, negative and neutral tweets. In this work, we obligated Twitter Application Programming Interface (API) account and programmed in python for sentiment analysis approach for the computational measure of user’s perceptions that extract a massive number of tweets and provide market value to the Twitter account proprietor. To distinguish the results in terms of the performance evaluation, an error analysis investigates the features of various stakeholders comprising social media analytics researchers, Natural Language Processing (NLP) developers, engineering managers and experts involved to have a decision-making approach.     

Assisted history matching in the presence of frequent well intervention using generalize travel time inversion

In this paper we propose an efficient and novel technique that handles production discontinuities through a resampling of the production data, eliminating high frequency production details in a transformed domain. The technique also reduces non-monotonic behavior and results in a response more suitable for the GTTI based misfit calculations. Our proposed approach has been applied to an offshore turbidite reservoir with extensive well intervention resulting in highly detailed production responses. The static model contains more than three-hundred-thousand cells, complex sand depositional distribution combined with fault structures, four pairs of injector-producers, deviated producing wells and more than 8 years of production history. Previous history matching attempts using traditional approaches had difficulties matching production response at the individual well level. With our proposed modifications to the GTTI approach, a significant improvement was obtained on the well level match quality. Most importantly, by visualizing the streamlines and the dynamic adjustment of flow paths during history matching, we could easily identify the areas of inconsistency between the geologic model and the production data. The calibrated geologic model and streamline trajectories provided important insight about communication within sand channels, differences in flow paths and barriers that have not been included in the previous geologic and seismic interpretation.     

The effect of infrared laser radiation of different frequencies on the healing of skin wounds

In experiments on white rat males it was established that infrared laser radiation (frequency 500 Hz) was more potent in stimulating repair of skin wounds than 3000 Hz radiation. This manifested in enhanced proliferative activity of fibroblasts and epithelial cells, decreased areas of the wound.     

Validation of caregiver interviews to diagnose common causes of severe neonatal illness

The objective of this study was to validate retrospective caregiver interviews for diagnosing major causes of severe neonatal illness and death. A convenience sample of 149 infants aged < 28 days with one or more suspected diagnoses of interest (low birthweight/severe malnutrition, preterm birth, birth asphyxia, birth trauma, neonatal tetanus, pneumonia, meningitis, septicaemia, diarrhoea, congenital malformation or injury) was taken from patients admitted to two hospitals in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Study paediatricians performed a standardised history and physical examination and ordered laboratory and radiographic tests according to study criteria. With a median interval of 64.5 days after death or hospital discharge, caregivers of 118 (79%) infants were interviewed about their child's illness. Using reference diagnoses based on predefined clinical and laboratory criteria, the sensitivity and specificity of particular combinations of signs (algorithms) reported by the caregivers were ascertained. Sufficient numbers of children with five reference standard diagnoses were studied to validate caregiver reports. Algorithms with sensitivity and specificity > 80% were identified for neonatal tetanus, low birthweight/severe malnutrition and preterm delivery. Algorithms with specificities > 80% for birth asphyxia and pneumonia had sensitivities < 70%, or alternatively had high sensitivity with lower specificity. In settings with limited access to medical care, retrospective caregiver interviews provide a valid means of diagnosing several of the most common causes of severe neonatal illness and death.     

Modulation of TCDD-induced fetotoxicity and oxidative stress in embryonic and placental tissues of C57BL/6J mice by vitamin E succinate and ellagic acid

Secretory middle ear otitis is of difficult assessment in children with severe hearing impairment. This otitis, very frequent in infants and children, influences negatively the auditive capacity and apprenticeship as well. Our study deals with the prevalence and severity of the secretive middle ear otitis in an scholar population handicapped by a heavy hypoacusia. Demographically, etiologic and seasonal correlations are considered in the paper. The outcome shows a high incidence of the condition, an inversely relation with the age, an evident seasonal distribution and the absence of correlation between etiology of middle ear disease and sensorineural deafness.     

Adolescent substance abuse: a review of the past 10 years

VTG was purified from seabream Sparus aurata plasma by ion exchange chromatography on a DEAE-Sepharose column. The vitellogenin was characterized and its properties were determined. The molecular mass of the native form, obtained by Sephadex G-200 column, was around 450 kDa, whereas an apparent molecular mass of 180 kDa was detected by electrophoresis under denaturing and reducing conditions, suggesting a dimeric form for the native protein. The presence of carbohydrates was determined using concanavalin A, while the presence of phosphate groups was detected by Stains-all, a cationic stain. These data together with the sex specificity, the estrogen inducibility, and the cross-reactivity of the abVTG against the major yolk proteins identifies this protein as vitellogenin. The validated ELISA was used for a rapid and reliable measurement of plasma VTG changes related with those of estradiol-17beta in female broodstock.     

Use of the acute cardiac ischemia time-insensitive predictive instrument (ACI-TIPI) to assist with triage of patients with chest pain or other symptoms suggestive of acute cardiac ischemia. A multicenter, controlled clinical trial

BACKGROUND: Approximately 6 million U.S. patients present to emergency departments annually with symptoms suggesting acute cardiac ischemia. Triage decisions for these patients are important but remain difficult. OBJECTIVE: To test whether computerized prediction of the probability of acute ischemia, used with electrocardiography, improves the accuracy of triage decisions. DESIGN: Controlled clinical trial. SETTING: 10 hospital emergency departments in the midwestern, southeastern, and northeastern United States. PATIENTS: 10689 patients with chest pain or other symptoms suggestive of acute cardiac ischemia. INTERVENTION: The probability of acute ischemia predicted by the acute cardiac ischemia time-insensitive predictive instrument (ACI-TIPI), either automatically printed or not printed on patients' electrocardiograms. MEASUREMENTS: Emergency department triage to a coronary care unit (CCU), telemetry unit, ward, or home. Other measurements were the bed capacity of the CCU relative to that of the telemetry unit; training or supervision status of the triaging physician; and patient diagnoses and outcomes based on clinical, electrocardiographic, and creatine kinase data. RESULTS: For patients without cardiac ischemia, in hospitals with high-capacity CCUs and relatively low-capacity cardiac telemetry units, use of ACI-TIPI was associated with a reduction in CCU admissions from 15% to 12%, a change of -16% (95% CI, -30% to 0%), and an increase in emergency department discharges to home from 49% to 52%, a change of 6% (CI, 0% to 14%; overall P=0.09). Across all hospitals, for patients evaluated by unsupervised residents, use of ACI-TIPI was associated with a reduction in CCU admissions from 14% to 10%, a change of -32% (CI, -55% to 3%); a reduction in telemetry unit admissions from 39% to 31%, a change of -20% (CI, -34% to -2%); and an increase in discharges to home from 45% to 56%, a change of 25% (CI, 8% to 45%; overall P=0.008). Among patients with stable angina, in hospitals with high-capacity CCUs, use of ACI-TIPI was associated with a reduction in CCU admissions from 26% to 13%, a change of -50% (CI, -70% to -17%), and an increase in discharges to home from 20% to 22%, a change of 10% (CI, -29% to 71%; overall P=0.02). At hospitals with high-capacity telemetry units, use of ACI-TIPI was associated with a reduction in telemetry unit admissions from 68% to 59%, a change of -14% (CI, -27% to 1%), and an increase in emergency department discharges to home from 10% to 21%, a change of 100% (CI, 22% to 230%; overall P=0.02). Among patients with acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina, use of ACI-TIPI did not change appropriate admission (96%) to the CCU or telemetry unit at hospitals with high-capacity CCUs or telemetry units. CONCLUSIONS: Use of ACI-TIPI was associated with reduced hospitalization among emergency department patients without acute cardiac ischemia. This result varied as expected according to the CCU and cardiac telemetry unit capacities and physician supervision at individual hospitals. Appropriate admission for unstable angina or acute infarction was not affected. If ACI-TIPI is used widely in the United States, its potential incremental impact may be more than 200000 fewer unnecessary hospitalizations and more than 100000 fewer unnecessary CCU admissions.     

Customisation and Context for Expressive Behaviour in the Broadband World

The introduction of consumer broadband makes it possible to have an emotionally much richer experience of the Internet. One way of achieving this is the use of animated characters endowed with emotionally expressive behaviour. This paper describes Demeanour, a framework for generating expressive behaviour, developed collaboratively by University College London and BT. The focus of this paper will be on two important aspects — the customisation of expressive behaviour and how expressive behaviour can be made context dependent.     

A phase I dose-ranging safety and pharmacokinetics study of a novel oral thromboxane synthase inhibitor, FCE 22, 178

A 100- to 3200-mg dose range of FCE 22,178 was studied in this phase I single-dose escalation safety/kinetics study. After oral administration, a rapid drug absorptive phase and a biexponential disposition profile were observed. Mean estimates of the terminal elimination half-life of FCE 22,178, over the doses studied, ranged from 7.6 to 14.4 hours. A disproportionate increase in both maximum peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the curve (AUC0-infinity) was noticed for doses higher than 400 mg. Mean estimates of systemic clearance (CLs/F) over the 100- to 400-mg doses were 0.053 to 0.064 L/hour/kg, and were significantly higher for the three higher dose levels. This nonlinearity appears to be related to the changes in oral bioavailability. Estimates of distribution volume (Vd, lambda z/F) for FCE 22,178 increased from 0.75 L/kg at the 100-mg dose to 3.00 L/kg at the 3200-mg dose, and renal clearance (CLr) also increased with dose. Both observations may be related to an increase in free fraction of FCE 22,178 at higher doses. Urinary excretion of unchanged drug averaged < 10% for all dose levels. The urinary excretion of the glucuronide metabolite (M1) averaged 41 to 70% for doses up to 400 mg, but diminished to 13% at the 3200-mg dose. The disposition of M1 appeared to be formation-rate limited. In addition, the ratio of the formation to the disposition clearance for M1 was relatively stable and apparently dose independent. No drug-related adverse experiences were observed over the studied dose range after single doses at FCE 22,178.     

Sex determination in beef by melting curve analysis of PCR amplicons from the amelogenin locus

Sex determination of beef is important to meet the rules of the Commission Regulation (EC) 765/2002 that qualify for export refunds. A SYBR Green sex identification assay based on melting curve analysis of PCR amplicons from the amelogenin locus (AMELX and AMELY) was developed. The PCR amplicons of 130/130 and 130/67 base pairs produced from female and male beef, respectively, are easily distinguished by both melting curve analysis and gel electrophoresis. Results from the melting curve analysis of amplicons are ready in less than three minutes, and requires no additional work in addition to the PCR setup. Applicability of the sex determination assay was studied by analysis of 12 unknown beef samples and the results were compared to an accredited method based on gel electrophoresis. In addition, six different cattle breeds were examined. All test results were correct in respect to sex.
