Do flexible goal adjustment and acceptance help preserve quality of life in patients with Multiple Sclerosis? [PDF]
, 2015 Background Goal regulation strategies such as flexible goal adjustment and acceptance are believed to be protective factors in persons with chronic illness, but research on their relative contributions to quality of life in multiple sclerosis (MS) is ...

Simple Adaptive Estimation of Quadratic Functionals in Nonparametric IV Models [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 This paper considers adaptive, minimax estimation of a quadratic functional in a nonparametric instrumental variables (NPIV) model, which is an important problem in optimal estimation of a nonlinear functional of an ill-posed inverse regression with an unknown operator.

How much does an interlibrary loan request cost? A review of the literature [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Interlibrary loan (ILL) services are used to fill the gap between academic libraries' collections and the information needs of their users. Today's trend toward the cancellation of serials "Big Deals" has increased the importance of clear information around ILL to support decision-making. In order to plan the cancellation of a journal package, academic

Weight Loss and Illness Severity in Adolescents With Atypical Anorexia Nervosa. [PDF]
, 2019 BACKGROUND:Lower weight has historically been equated with more severe illness in anorexia nervosa (AN). Reliance on admission weight to guide clinical concern is challenged by the rise in patients with atypical anorexia nervosa (AAN) requiring ...

Ill/well-posedness of non-diffusive active scalar equations with physical applications [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 We consider a general class of non-diffusive active scalar equations with constitutive laws obtained via an operator $\mathbf{T}$ that is singular of order $r_0\in[0,2]$. For $r_0\in(0,1]$ we prove well-posedness in Gevrey spaces $G^s$ with $s\in[1,\frac{1}{r_0})$, while for $r_0\in[1,2]$ and further conditions on $\mathbf{T}$ we prove ill-posedness in

Stability and regularization for ill-posed Cauchy problem of a stochastic parabolic differential equation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In this paper, we investigate an ill-posed Cauchy problem involving a stochastic parabolic equation. We first establish a Carleman estimate for this equation. Leveraging this estimate, we derive the conditional stability and convergence rate of the Tikhonov regularization method for the aforementioned ill-posed Cauchy problem.
