Therapeutic Apheresis in Nigeria: A Multi‐Center Summary of Abstracts From the Inaugural Nigerian Society for Apheresis Scientific Meeting

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

Generation of e-Learning tests with different degree of complexity by combinatorial optimization

Je-LKS: Journal of E-Learning and Knowledge Society, 2020
The major challenge in the digital era is the management of big data. A substantial share of digitization is taken from the e-learning. In this respect, the current article deals with generation of questions for testing the acquired levels of students ...

The computational complexity of truthfulness in combinatorial auctions [PDF]

Proceedings of the 13th ACM Conference on Electronic Commerce, 2012
One of the fundamental questions of Algorithmic Mechanism Design is whether there exists an inherent clash between truthfulness and computational tractability: in particular, whether polynomial-time truthful mechanisms for combinatorial auctions are provably weaker in terms of approximation ratio than non-truthful ones.

Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

Transcriptional Regulation and Combinatorial Genetic Logic in Synthetic Bacterial Circuits [PDF]

, 2008
We engineered several synthetic regulatory circuits to study transcriptional regulation in bacteria. We developed a new technique for DNA construction, built and characterized in vivo a library of genetic logic gates, examined the role of genetic noise ...

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Combinatorial generation algorithms based on AND/OR tree structures for a class of algebraic generating functions

Моделирование и анализ информационных систем
This paper proposes a systematic approach to developing combinatorial generation algorithms for sets of discrete structures whose cardinality is determined by the coefficients of algebraic generating functions and their powers.

Polynomial algorithms for clearing multi-unit single item and multi-unit combinatorial reverse auctions

, 2002
This paper develops new algorithms for clearing multi-unit single-item and multi-unit combinatorial reverse auctions. Specifically, we consider settings where bids are submitted in the form of a supply function and the auctions have sub-additive pricing ...

Forecasting the Dialysis Burden in Japan: Validation‐Based Projections of Prevalence and Incidence Through 2050

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.

Spreading the Message: P-Graph Enhancements: Implementations and Applications

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2015
P-graph is a combinatorial optimisation framework aimed at optimising process networks. It is particularly efficient in handling problems with high combinatorial complexity and it has shown great reduction in the computational burden related to that. The
