developed the prototype DeNovo to a full working prediction model with data bias eliminated as follows: • We used a larger data set (HPIDB) in training our model, comprising of 24K unique virus-human PPIs. • We changed the similarity estimation criterion used in the process of selecting negative PPI examples in training,…
The criterion of right and wrong controversy has yet to be concluded though many years of argumentation have ensued. Mill attempts to explain the criterion of right and wrong using the concept of utilitarianism. Utility is not something that should be contrasted with pleasure, but rather pleasure itself with the freedom of pain. The criterion of right and wrongness is introduced for utility as the actions are right in proportion if they promote happiness and are wrong in proportion if they…
Both post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and sexual minorities (alt. LGBT) are important issues to consider in light of modern social development and psychological consideration. With 3.6% of Americans openly identify as LGBT, some cities having up to as high as 6.2% and American youth projected to identify with LGBT or sexual minority labels more than prior generations (Alessi, Meyer, & Martin, 2013). In the light of recent international conflicts, increased attention has been payed to PTSD…
Tests need to be accurate (i.e. valid) for the researcher to know the test can be trusted. Tests have a concept or framework that guide what the test is supposed to measure. Construct-based validity evidence is used to measure to the degree that the test is measuring that construct. This type of validity has two subparts: discriminant validity and convergent validity. When constructs are not supposed to be related, discriminant validity checks to see if they are in fact unrelated. On the other…
When considering ergogenic aids, marijuana is not typically the first supplement that comes to mind, however there are several performance enhancing benefits to cannabis use. Though cannabis use is associated with reduced coordination and lack of spatial perception, many athletes report many different performance enhancing effects. Goaltenders, for example, may find that cannabis use increases their quality of vision. Cannabis is also known to decrease anxiety, which could prove helpful in…
originally intended (Hunte & Barry, 2012). The four criteria used to define drug abuse are described in author, William Whites article titled “Substance abuse versus substance dependence: Implications for management of the DUI offender.” First, Criterion one is habitual substance use resulting in a failure to fulfill major obligations to include work, school, or home typically resulting in numerous absences or poor work performance related to substance use, as well as,…
rubric.” Analytical rubric is a rubric where students are judge based on each criterion (dimension, trait), and is evaluated separately (Brookhart, 2018). I changed the format…
absolute certainty or be proven, but strong support for the validity of a construct or variable can be developed. The support for four types of validity is necessary in research: content, criterion/predictive, construct, and convergent-discriminant validities. Concurrent validity, which is similar to criterion/predictive validity may also be necessary depending on the situation and type of research. Note, that it is possible that a construct or variable that is in fact valid will fail one or…
played the role of the criterion, while predictors were the factors that have obtained significant correlations with the criterion. The preliminary analysis showed the data conformity with the multiple regression assumptions about normality, linearity and homoscedasticity; the tolerance coefficients above .1 (Sava, 2004) and VIF values (Variation Inflation Factor) below 10 indicated the lack of data multicollinearity. All predictors statistically correlated with the criterion, indicating the…

Rehabilitation: the act of restoring something to its original state. Criterion one: Public health can be used to not only help those who…
