Higher-order terms in sensitivity analysis through a differential approach [PDF]
A differential approach to sensitivity analysis has been developed that eliminates some difficulties existing in previous work. The new development leads to simple explicit expressions for the first-order perturbation as well as any higher-order terms ...

Global attractivity of a higher order nonlinear difference equation with decreasing terms
In the present paper, we further study the asymptotical behavior of the following higher order nonlinear difference equation \begin{equation*} x(n+1)= ax(n)+ bf( x(n)) + cf(x(n-k)), \qquad n=0, 1, \dots \end{equation*} where $a, b $ and $c$ are constants

Quantification and parametrization of non-linearity effects by higher-order sensitivity terms in scattered light differential optical absorption spectroscopy [PDF]
We address the application of differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) of scattered light observations in the presence of strong absorbers (in particular ozone), for which the absorption optical depth is a non-linear function of the trace gas ...

Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas in Children and Adolescents: Expert Recommendations
ABSTRACT Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) is a rare low‐grade malignant exocrine pancreatic tumor, mostly discovered during the second decade of life in females, with a very good prognosis, provided microscopically complete surgical excision is achieved.

Solutions of a System of Two Higher-Order Difference Equations in Terms of Lucas Sequence
In this paper we give some theoretical explanations related to the representation for the general solution of the system of the higher-order rational difference equations $$ x_{n+1} = \frac{5 y_{n-k}-5}{y_{n-k}}, \qquad y_{n+1} = \frac{5 x_{n-k}-5}{x_{

A Logical Framework with Higher-Order Rational (Circular) Terms
AbstractLogical frameworks provide natural and direct ways of specifying and reasoning within deductive systems. The logical framework LF and subsequent developments focus on finitary proof systems, making the formalization of circular proof systems in such logical frameworks a cumbersome and awkward task.

Determining Parental Factors for Clinical Trial Attrition in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
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 ...

A Reduction Ordering for Higher-Order Terms [PDF]
We investigate one of the classical problems of the theory of term rewriting, namely termination. We present an ordering for comparing higher-order terms that can be utilized for testing termination and decreasingness of higher-order conditional term ...
