Structure–Function Decoupling of the Sensorimotor and Default Mode Networks in Black Americans With MS

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Multiple sclerosis (MS) exhibits racially disparate rates of disease progression. Black people with MS (B‐PwMS) experience a more severe disease course than non‐Hispanic White people with MS (NHW‐PwMS). Here we investigated structural and functional connectivity as well as structure–function decoupling in the ...

CSF Monoamine Metabolites and Cognitive Trajectory in Early Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Imaging and postmortem studies indicate that abnormalities in monoaminergic neurotransmission contribute to cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, it remains uncertain if cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) monoamine metabolites can serve as biomarkers of cognitive decline in early PD.

Bayesian Robustness Modelling Using the Floor Distribution

Revstat Statistical Journal, 2018
In Bayesian analysis, the prior distribution and the likelihood can conflict, in the sense that they can carry diverse information about the parameter of interest. The most common form of conflict is the presence of outliers in the data.

Regularization Methods Based on the L_q-Likelihood for Linear Models with Heavy-Tailed Errors

Entropy, 2020
We propose regularization methods for linear models based on the Lq-likelihood, which is a generalization of the log-likelihood using a power function. Regularization methods are popular for the estimation in the normal linear model.

Electrical Conductivities of Conductors, Semiconductors, and Their Mixtures at Elevated Temperatures

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article presents a comprehensive review of temperature‐dependent electrical conductivity data for multiple material classes at elevated temperatures, highlighting a persistent conductivity gap between metals and semiconductors in the range of 102$\left(10\right)^{2}$– 107$\left(10\right)^{7}$ S/m. Metal–ceramic irregular metamaterials are proposed

Group acceptance sampling plans for type-I heavy-tailed exponential distribution based on truncated life tests

AIP Advances
The usefulness of a new heavy-tailed distribution is studied in this article. The type-I heavy-tailed exponential (TI-HTE) distribution studied here has been suggested in the literature but has not been studied anywhere other than now.

Smart, Bio‐Inspired Polymers and Bio‐Based Molecules Modified by Zwitterionic Motifs to Design Next‐Generation Materials for Medical Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

Distributed Stochastic Optimization Under Heavy-Tailed Noises

IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control
This paper studies the distributed optimization problem under the influence of heavy-tailed gradient noises. Here, a heavy-tailed noise means that the noise does not necessarily satisfy the bounded variance assumption. Instead, it satisfies a more general assumption.

A CONTROL CHART FOR HEAVY TAILED DISTRIBUTIONS

The South African Journal of Industrial Engineering, 2009
Standard control charts with control limits determined by the mean and standard error of the mean are constructed based on the assumption that the distribution of the quality characteristic being monitored follows a normal distribution. However, this assumption is not always valid.
