Early COVID-19 Epidemiological Insights
The epidemic curve was constructed by date of illness onset, and key dates relating to epidemic identification and control measures were overlaid to aid interpretation. Case characteristics were described, including demographic characteristics, exposures, and health care worker status. The incubation period distribution (i.e., the time delay from infection to illness onset) was estimated by fitting a log-normal distribution to data on exposure histories and onset dates in a subset of cases with detailed information available. Onset-to-first-medical-visit and onset-to-admission distributions were estimated by fitting a Weibull distribution on the dates of illness onset, first medical visit, and hospital admission in a subset of cases with detailed information available. We fitted a gamma distribution to data from cluster investigations to estimate the serial interval distribution, defined as the delay between illness onset dates in successive cases in chains of transmission.
We estimated the epidemic growth rate by analyzing data on the cases with illness onset between December 10 and January 4, because we expected the proportion of infections identified would increase soon after the formal announcement of the outbreak in Wuhan on December 31. We fitted a transmission model (formulated with the use of renewal equations) with zoonotic infections to onset dates that were not linked to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, and we used this model to derive the epidemic growth rate, the epidemic doubling time, and the basic reproductive number (R0), which is defined as the expected number of additional cases that one case will generate, on average, over the course of its infectious period in an otherwise uninfected population. We used an informative prior distribution for the serial interval based on the serial interval of SARS with a mean of 8.4 and a standard deviation of 3.8.11 (link)Analyses of the incubation period, serial interval, growth rate, and R0 were performed with the use of MATLAB software (MathWorks). Other analyses were performed with the use of SAS software (SAS Institute) and R software (R Foundation for Statistical Computing).

Functional Profiling of Gut Microbiome
On the basis of human gut (stool) metagenomics data from the MetaHIT project, the ten highest mean abundance species (TaxIDs 435591, 515620, 470145, 457412, 657321, 445970, 657317, 585543, 537011, and 43559) with a sequenced genome in the set of representative species defined by Mende et al. (2013) (link) were used for simulation using a previously published metagenomics simulation tool (Mende et al. 2012 (link)). On the basis of these simulated metagenomes, assembly and gene calling was performed using MOCAT2 (Kultima et al. 2016 (link)). The predicted genes were assigned GO terms using alternatively eggNOG-mapper or InterProScan as described below. The underlying gold standard was defined by counting, for each GO, the number of reads which were simulated from a gene annotated with that GO. This vector was compared, using Spearman’s rank correlation, to the predicted functional abundance profile of each sample. Predicted functional profiles were obtained by converting predicted gene abundances in the simulated metagenome (estimated with MOCAT2) to GO term abundances. Only GO terms appearing in either the gold set or the prediction were taken into consideration for the correlation analysis. eggNOG-mapper was executed in DIAMOND mode with the following parameters: “-m diamond-–tax_scope auto-–target_orthologs all –-go_evidence non-electronic –-cpu 20”. InterProScan v5.19-58.0 was configured to used 20 cpu workers and called with parameters –-goterms –-iprlookup -pa.

Cryptosporidium Infection and Immune Response
To illustrate the analytical process we used data collected from a birth cohort of children observed over three years in a semi-urban community in south India. The aim of the study was to examine the change in serum IgG levels measured by ELISA units to the immunodominant gp15 antigen as a consequence of the first episode of symptomatic cryptosporidial infection [1 (link)]. A total of 452 children were recruited over an 18-month period starting in March 2002; 373 children completed the 3-year follow-up. Field-workers visited each child twice-a-week to record any morbidity. Surveillance stool samples were collected every two weeks and diarrheal stool samples were collected with each episode of diarrhea [2 (link)]. The diarrheal stool samples were examined for the presence of Cryptosporidium spp. by microscopy and the positive samples were subjected to PCR-RFLP for genetic characterization [3 (link)]. Fifty-three children in this cohort experienced a total of 58 episodes of confirmed cryptosporidial diarrhea, out of which 47 episodes were due to C. hominis (see details elsewhere [3 (link)]). For illustrative purposes, we used data from 40 children whose first episode of cryptosporidial diarrhea was due to C. hominis infection. For these 40 children we utlilized the results of ELISA testing in two surveillance stool samples collected before and after the child's first episode of cryptosporidial diarrhea. The original data are provided in supplemental material, which include information on IR values, sampling date and child's age (see Additional file 1). The details on measuring serum IgG levels to the gp15 antigen and normalization of ELISA units can be found elsewhere [1 (link),4 (link)]. For the purpose of this study, serum IgG levels are used as a measure of immune response.
The main objective for the performed statistical analysis is to derive inferences from a change in the immune responses measured in ELISA units at those two time points. In statistical terms we aim to detect the difference in the markers of immune responses in a study with a pre-post design delivering two repeated measurements for each subject.
In this tutorial we use the following notations: Yi - values for immune responses for i- child; each Yi consists of two values: Yt1 - first measurement and Yt2 - second measurement, where t1 - time of first measurement; t2 - time of second measurement. A degree of change on an individual level is defined in three ways: as an absolute difference, ΔYi = Yt2 - Yt1, an absolute difference of log-transformed values, ΔYi = lnYt2 - lnYt1 and log-fold change, ΔYi = ln(Yt2 /Yt1). We also specify tE as the time of the event of interest. Additional relevant information to the presented illustration includes age at measurement and date of measurements. Sections below demonstrate the importance of this information in better understanding the variability in immune responses.

Korean National Health Insurance Coverage
The baseline study population is all insured Koreans residing in Korean territories. These people are divided into three categories: NHI program for employee and self-employed groups and medical aid beneficiaries. The MA program is managed by the Korean government and is a public assistance scheme to secure the minimum livelihood of low-income households and to assist with self-help by providing medical services. As shown in Table 1 [12 ], 100% of the Korean population is covered by the Korean NHI system. In 2013, the NHI system covered 97.2% (n=49,989,620) of the population and the MA system covered the remaining and 2.8% (n=1,458,871) of the population.

Intensive Blood Pressure Reduction Trial
Eligible participants were assigned to a systolic blood-pressure target of either less than 140 mm Hg (the standard-treatment group) or less than 120 mm Hg (the intensive-treatment group). Randomization was stratified according to clinical site. Participants and study personnel were aware of the study-group assignments, but outcome adjudicators were not.
After the participants underwent randomization, their baseline antihypertensive regimens were adjusted on the basis of the study-group assignment. The treatment algorithms were similar to those used in the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) trial.22 (link) These algorithms and our formulary are listed in Figures S1 and S2 and Table S1 in the Supplementary Appendix. All major classes of antihypertensive agents were included in the formulary and were provided at no cost to the participants. SPRINT investigators could also prescribe other antihypertensive medications (not provided by the study). The protocol encouraged, but did not mandate, the use of drug classes with the strongest evidence for reduction in cardiovascular outcomes, including thiazide-type diuretics (encouraged as the first-line agent), loop diuretics (for participants with advanced chronic kidney disease), and beta-adrenergic blockers (for those with coronary artery disease).5 (link),27 (link) Chlorthalidone was encouraged as the primary thiazide-type diuretic, and amlodipine as the preferred calcium-channel blocker.28 (link),29 (link) Azilsartan and azilsartan combined with chlorthalidone were donated by Takeda Pharmaceuticals International and Arbor Pharmaceuticals; neither company had any other role in the study.
Participants were seen monthly for the first 3 months and every 3 months thereafter. Medications for participants in the intensive-treatment group were adjusted on a monthly basis to target a systolic blood pressure of less than 120 mm Hg. For participants in the standard-treatment group, medications were adjusted to target a systolic blood pressure of 135 to 139 mm Hg, and the dose was reduced if systolic blood pressure was less than 130 mm Hg on a single visit or less than 135 mm Hg on two consecutive visits. Dose adjustment was based on a mean of three blood-pressure measurements at an office visit while the patient was seated and after 5 minutes of quiet rest; the measurements were made with the use of an automated measurement system (Model 907, Omron Healthcare). Lifestyle modification was encouraged as part of the management strategy. Retention in the study and adherence to treatment were monitored prospectively and routinely throughout the trial.26 (link)

RFID-Enabled Casino Chip Tracking
Not available on PMC !

Example 1

Poker chips in a casino each have a passive RF device integrated therein. The reader, present at a blackjack table for instance, sends out an interrogation signal sufficient to read all of the chips at the table (including the players' chips), or at a reduced power to read only those chips in the tray. Upon receiving a response from each tag, the reader or a backend system coupled to the reader can quickly determine the value of the chips on the table and/or in the tray. During active play, this information is useful for historical tracking of the flow of chips in and out of the tray, as well as alerting management to the need to either add chips to the tray or remove chips therefrom. Prior to opening the table or upon closing the table, the chip count in the tray can be quickly and accurately determined by an integrated or portable reader.

Likewise, when a patron wishes to cash out at the cage, the value of a stack of chips can be verified by a reader mounted there and compared against the visual chip count.

This feature would also provide a theft deterrent to dealers who may try to slip chips into their clothing and exit the casino. A reader near the employee exit can be used to detect chips leaving the casino.

Heartbeat Monitoring in Cluster Nodes
Not available on PMC !

Example 7

Based on the above examples, after the worker node successfully joins a cluster, the container image controller proxy component of the worker node sends an update request to the master node every 5 minutes. The update request content comprises the current node role (master node or worker node) of the node, the operating system, the kernel version of the operating system, and the node transmitting and updating time. Upon receiving this request, the master node updates the data corresponding to these fields in the database. At this time, the master node recursively inquires the update time for each node in the database every 10 minutes and then compares the update time with the current time. If the time difference is within 10 minutes, no operation will be performed. If the time difference is more than 10 minutes, the master node determines this node as a fault node and removes this node from the cluster. Based on the above embodiments, by setting the heartbeat detection program, it is determined whether a worker node operates normally or is disconnected abnormally.

Oral Health Assessment and Pneumonia Risk
All patients admitted to our hospital received a basic oral health check, including OHAT, by a dental hygienist to identify those requiring dental treatment and oral care. OHAT was developed for regular oral assessment and protocolisation of oral care, in an attempt to provide equitable, high-quality oral care, regardless of the personnel administering care4 (link) and for objective assessment of the oral environment in clinical practice.
Patients with swallowing dysfunction are commonly referred to the Ear, Nose and Throat department for VE and VF, followed by treatment and rehabilitation.
This study included 24 patients (7 men and 17 women; age range: 64–97 years; average age: 86 years) who were examined by OHAT, VE and VF at Fukuoka Dental College Hospital between April 2014 and October 2019. Patients with head and neck cancers were excluded from the study, as these conditions may affect the oral environment.
A flow chart of patient selection is shown in Figure 1.

Flow chart of patient selection.

A diagnosis of pneumonia was made in cases fulfilling the following criteria: chest X-ray or chest computed tomography (CT) showing an alveolar infiltration shadow, with a fever of 37.5°C or higher and an abnormally high C-reactive protein level, a peripheral white blood cell count of more than 9000/µL and/or the presence of any two or more airway symptoms, such as sputum. We evaluated the associations of the OHAT score with VE and VF and compared the associations between patients with no or only a single episode of pneumonia (no/single-pneumonia episode group) and patients with multiple pneumonia episodes (multiple-pneumonia episode group).
