A note on a faster fixed point iterative method
In this paper, we introduce an iteration process to approximate a fixed point of a contractive self-mapping. The comparison theorem indicates that our iteration process is faster than the other existing iteration processes in the literature. We also obtain convergence and stability theorems of this iterative process for a contractive self-mapping ...

The number of circulating tumor cells obtained from prostate cancer patients was increased approximately 5‐fold compared to regular CellSearch when processing 2 mL diagnostic leukapheresis material aliquots and increased by 44‐fold when processing 20 mL DLA aliquots using the flow enrichment target capture Halbach‐array.

Fixed Points of Belief Propagation -- An Analysis via Polynomial Homotopy Continuation [PDF]
Belief propagation (BP) is an iterative method to perform approximate inference on arbitrary graphical models. Whether BP converges and if the solution is a unique fixed point depends on both the structure and the parametrization of the model. To understand this dependence it is interesting to find \emph{all} fixed points.

Urine is a rich source of biomarkers for cancer detection. Tumor‐derived material is released into the bloodstream and transported to the urine. Urine can easily be collected from individuals, allowing non‐invasive cancer detection. This review discusses the rationale behind urine‐based cancer detection and its potential for cancer diagnostics ...

An EKF-Based Fixed-Point Iterative Filter for Nonlinear Systems
In this paper, a fixed-point iterative filter developed from the classical extended Kalman filter (EKF) was proposed for general nonlinear systems. As a nonlinear filter developed from EKF, the state estimate was obtained by applying the Kalman filter to

Subpar reporting of pre‐analytical variables in RNA‐focused blood plasma studies
Pre‐analytical variables strongly influence the analysis of extracellular RNA (cell‐free RNA; exRNA) derived from blood plasma. Their reporting is essential to allow interpretation and replication of results. By evaluating 200 exRNA studies, we pinpoint a lack of reporting pre‐analytical variables associated with blood collection, plasma preparation ...

Stability of Quadratic Functional Equations via the Fixed Point and Direct Method
Cădariu and Radu applied the fixed point theorem to prove the stability theorem of Cauchy and Jensen functional equations. In this paper, we prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability via the fixed point method and investigate new theorems via ...

Extrapolated Sequential Constraint Method for Variational Inequality over the Intersection of Fixed-Point Sets [PDF]
This paper deals with the solving of variational inequality problem where the constrained set is given as the intersection of a number of fixed-point sets. To this end, we present an extrapolated sequential constraint method. At each iteration, the proposed method is updated based on the ideas of a hybrid conjugate gradient method used to accelerate ...

Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote cancer growth, invasion (metastasis), and drug resistance. Here, we identified functional and diverse circulating CAFs (cCAFs) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). cCAFs were found in higher numbers and were functional and diverse in mPCa patients versus healthy individuals, suggesting their ...

In this paper, we attempt to determine the optimal duration of an anti-epidemic control strategy which targets susceptible people, under the isoperimetric condition that we could not control all individuals of this category due to restricted health ...
