Predictive model for plume opacity
… to acid plume formation, a computer simulation model has been developed. This plume opacity model has been utilized to simulate sulfuric acid aerosol formation and growth. These processes result from homogeneous nucleation, condensation and coagulation which substantially increase the …

A Predictive Model for Pancreatic Cancer Diagnosis
… this thesis, we investigate the hypothesis that predictive models from a variety of model classes can use different indicators from electronic health record (EHR) data in order to predict PDAC diagnosis. We find that logistic regression, random forest, and XGBoost models perform the best when …

Civic Habits: A Predictive Model of Volunteer Behavior
The findings of this research indicate that volunteering is influenced by a number of factors, one of which is gender. The data used in this study reveal a different profile of the volunteer than is presented in much of the research on volunteering, which tends to profile the "most likely" …

A Predictive Model of Canadian College Student Retention
… colleges in western Canada, and to develop a predictive model that identified potential determinants of retention among these students. Retention was examined among the total sample, among the sample from each college separately, and among the sample enrolled in each credential type. Astin’s …

An integrative predictive model for hospital acquired complications
… mortality rates. Here we show a machine-learning model for predicting the occurrence of HACs using clinical data limited to short periods following Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission. In addition, we also identify several keystone features that demonstrate high predictive power HACs during …

Macrophages in vitro as a predictive model in polymer toxicology
… for use in cosmetic aerosols, were used as model substances to predict inflammatory potential. In vivo inflammogenic potential was evaluated by assessment of inflammatory cell profile (alveolar macrophage (AM), polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN)) of broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BAL) 24hrs …

Predictive Model Fusion: A Modular Approach to Big, Unstructured Data
… disparate sources inhibits joint processing and modeling. Rather modular segmentation is required, in which a set of models process (potentially overlapping) partitions of the data to independently construct predictions. This framework enables individuals models to be tailored for specific …

Developing a Predictive Model of Depression and Suicidal Tendencies in Pilots
… <p>The purpose of this study was to determine predictive factors of depression and suicidal tendencies among commercial airline pilots. Previous research has determined predictive factors of depression and suicidal tendencies in both the general population and specific subgroups, such as police …

Energy-efficient housing alternatives: a predictive model of factors affecting household perceptions
… southern states were analyzed. A conceptual model was proposed to test the hypothesized relationships which were examined by path analysis. Perceptions of energy-efficient housing alternatives were found to be a function of selected household and dwelling characteristics, energy attitude; …
