TESTING AGGREGATION CONSISTENCY ACROSS GEOGRAPHY AND COMMODITIES [PDF]

open access: yes
Consistent aggregation of production data across commodities and states was tested using Lewbel's generalized composite commodity theorem (GCCT). This was the first empirical GCCT test for consistent geographic aggregation and was applied to two groups ...

Smoothing Secant Line Slope Using Aggregation Fischer Burmeister Function

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
As some of the objective functions are piecewise, so they are non-differentiable at specific points which have a significant impact on deep network rate and computational time. The non-differentiability issue increases the computational time dramatically.

Experience With Performing Rheocarna Therapy via the Single‐Needle Method for Treatment of Chronic Limb‐Threatening Ischemia

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction This study investigated the safety and efficacy of single‐needle Rheocarna therapy for chronic limb‐threatening ischemia (CLTI) with wounds. Methods Six patients with CLTI involving ulcers unresponsive to revascularization underwent single‐needle Rheocarna treatment.

Effectiveness of Resistance Intradialytic Exercise Compared to Aerobic Intradialytic Exercise for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.

The in vitro effect of antirheumatic drugs on platelet function

open access: yesPlatelets, 2020
Several antirheumatic drugs lower the cardiovascular risk among rheumatoid arthritis patients. It is, however, unknown whether inhibition of platelet function contributes to this risk reduction.

On aggregation of metric structures: the extended quasi-metric case [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems, 2013
In 1981, J. Borsík and J. Doboš studied and solved the problem of how to merge, by means of a function, a (not necessarily finite) collection of metrics in order to obtain a single one as output. Later on, in 2010, G. Mayor and O.

New Results About Aggregation Functions of Quasi-Pseudometric Modulars

open access: yesMathematics
In recent studies, Bibiloni-Femenias, Miñana, and Valero characterized the functions that aggregate a family of (quasi-)(pseudo)metric modulars defined over a fixed set X into a single one.

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

Aggregation pattern transitions by slightly varying the attractive/repulsive function. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Among collective behaviors of biological swarms and flocks, the attractive/repulsive (A/R) functional links between particles play an important role. By slightly changing the cutoff distance of the A/R function, a drastic transition between two distinct ...
