ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an established home‐based kidney replacement therapy (KRT), but its uptake remains low in Japan. We evaluated whether individualized education in a dedicated outpatient clinic was associated with the initiation of PD.

First order optimality condition for constrained set-valued optimization [PDF]
A constrained optimization problem with set-valued data is considered. Different kind of solutions are defined for such a problem. We recall weak minimizer, efficient minimizer and proper minimizer.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

First-Order Conditions for C0,1 Constrained vector optimization [PDF]
For a Fritz John type vector optimization problem with C0,1 data we define different type of solutions, give their scalar characterizations applying the so called oriented distance, and give necessary and sufficient first order optimality conditions in ...

Nonsmooth analysis and optimization on partially ordered vector spaces
Interval-Lipschitz mappings between topological vector spaces are defined and compared with other Lipschitz-type operators. A theory of generalized gradients is presented when both spaces are locally convex and the range space is an order complete vector

We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Hodges-Lehmann Optimality for Testing Moment [PDF]
This paper studies the Hodges and Lehmann (1956) optimality of tests in a general setup. The tests are compared by the exponential rates of growth to one of the power functions evaluated at a fixed alternative while keeping the asymptotic sizes bounded ...

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

On optimality in intergenerational risk sharing [PDF]
This paper defines and studies optimality in a dynamic stochastic economy with finitely lived agents, and investigates the optimality properties of an equilibrium with or without sequentially complete markets.

Discrete Nonuniform Systems and Sufficient Conditions of Optimality
Nonuniform systems are the object of a deep investigation last 15–20 years. They are exemplified by the chemical processes, complicated operations in space, robot dynamics, development of organisms and biological populations.
