An Adaptive Pseudospectral Method for Fractional Order Boundary Value Problems

Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2012
An adaptive pseudospectral method is presented for solving a class of multiterm fractional boundary value problems (FBVP) which involve Caputo-type fractional derivatives. The multiterm FBVP is first converted into a singular Volterra integrodifferential

Leadership in elephants: the adaptive value of age [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2011
The value of age is well recognized in human societies, where older individuals often emerge as leaders in tasks requiring specialized knowledge, but what part do such individuals play in other social species? Despite growing interest in how effective leadership might be achieved in animal social systems, the specific role that ...

Biphasic Clinical Course of Pediatric Cytomegalovirus‐Associated Immune Thrombocytopenia: Early Poor Treatment Response but Favorable Long‐Term Outcomes

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a recognized trigger of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP); however, its incidence and impact on disease course in children remain controversial. Therefore, we aimed to characterize the clinical course of pediatric patients with CMV‐associated ITP.

JOINT ADAPTIVE PROGRESSIVE TYPE-II CENSORING WITH DUS-EXTREME VALUE DISTRIBUTION

Reliability: Theory & Applications
Statistical estimation of parameters under different censoring schemes is important while using distributions like the Extreme value and Weibull distributions for modelling real lifetime data. Since Extreme value distribution arise as log transformation

Multiple timescales of normalized value coding underlie adaptive choice behavior

Nature Communications, 2018
Previous work has shown that the neural representation of value adapts to the recent history of rewards. Here, the authors report that a computational model based on divisive normalization over multiple timescales can explain changes in value coding ...

Evidence‐Based Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Pediatric Febrile Neutropenia: Resource‐Sensitive Recommendations for the Asian Continent

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a frequent and serious complication in children receiving cancer therapy. Standardizing FN management across Asia is challenging due to variable healthcare infrastructure, diagnostic capacity, and infection patterns; however, it could improve resource use and patient outcomes.
