Advances in Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2013 This paper proposes a novel model of the two-level scalar quantizer with extended Huffman coding. It is designed for the average bit rate to approach the source entropy as close as possible provided that the signal to quantization noise ratio (SQNR ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Medication nonadherence during the first 100 days after pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and during oncology treatment increases risk for complications. BMT4me is a caregiver‐facing mobile health (mHealth) application providing medication reminders, symptom tracking, and note‐taking features to support ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Neurotoxicity is a rare, often dose‐limiting adverse effect of methotrexate (MTX) therapy that disproportionally affects Latino children. Factors contributing to the observed disparity are not well understood. This study leveraged admixture mapping to identify genetic regions associated with MTX‐related neurotoxicity susceptibility ...

A Joint Representation of Rényi’s and Tsalli’s Entropy with Application in Coding Theory
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2017 We introduce a quantity which is called Rényi’s-Tsalli’s entropy of order ξ and discussed some of its major properties with Shannon and other entropies in the literature. Further, we give its application in coding theory and a coding theorem analogous to

A coding theorem and Rényi's entropy
Information and Control, 1965 Let L(t) = t−1logD(∑piDtni})where pi is the probability of the ith input symbol to a noiseless channel, and ni is the length of the code sequence for the ith symbol in some uniquely decipherable code. Limiting values of L(t) are σ nipi for t = 0 and max (ni) for t = ∞.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Germ cell tumors (GCTs) often arise in the ovaries and testes (extracranial) but can also develop in the brain (intracranial). We examined the relationship of individual, family, and community‐level socioeconomic status (SES) with stage of disease at diagnosis in a cohort of pediatric patients with GCT from Children's Oncology Group

Determining Parental Factors for Clinical Trial Attrition in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Despite high enrollment rates on Children's Oncology Group (COG) protocols, attrition after initial consent is challenging, introducing bias and prolonging trial completion. While adult oncology literature has identified predictors of withdrawal, little is known about caregiver decision‐making for child participation in ...

Entropy of a Quantum Error Correction Code [PDF]
Open Systems & Information Dynamics, 2008 We define and investigate the notion of entropy for quantum error correcting codes. The entropy of a code for a given quantum channel has a number of equivalent realisations, such as through the coefficients associated with the Knill-Laflamme conditions and the entropy exchange computed with respect to any initial state supported on the code.

Therapeutic 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.

Entropy of Neuronal Spike Patterns
EntropyNeuronal spike patterns are the fundamental units of neural communication in the brain, which is still not fully understood. Entropy measures offer a quantitative framework to assess the variability and information content of these spike patterns.
