Determinants of Long‐Term Benefit From High Dose Melphalan With Autologous Stem Cell Transplant in AL Amyloidosis

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High dose melphalan (HDM) with autologous stem cell transplant is an established treatment for systemic light chain amyloidosis, but its incremental benefit in the era of effective standard intensity therapy is unknown. We retrospectively analyzed 475 transplant‐eligible patients who completed standard intensity treatment with or without HDM ...

Ensuring Positive Definiteness in Linear Viscoelastic Material Functions Based on Prony Series

, 2020
This thesis presents a method to correct for non-positive-definiteness in linear viscoelastic material functions. Viscoelastic material functions for anisotropic materials need to be interconverted in a matrix coefficient prony series form, with a ...

Atypical Clinical Course of Griscelli Syndrome Type 2 With Primarily Neurologic Presentation and Adult‐Onset in a 46‐Year‐Old Male

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Griscelli Syndrome Type 2 (GS2) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by pathogenic mutations in the RAB27A gene. Typically, it is characterized by cutaneous hypopigmentation, immunodeficiency, with or without neurological abnormalities secondary to hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Without treatment, GS2 often results in fatal

Positive Definite Norm Dependent Matrices In Stochastic Modeling

Demonstratio Mathematica, 2014
Positive definite norm dependent matrices are of interest in stochastic modeling of distance/norm dependent phenomena in nature. An example is the application of geostatistics in geographic information systems or mathematical analysis of varied spatial ...

Geometric conditions for the positive definiteness of the second variation in one-dimensional problems

, 2017
Given a functional for a one-dimensional physical system, a classical problem is to minimize it by finding stationary solutions and then checking the positive definiteness of the second variation.

The EXPLAIN Study: Exploring Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita in Adults in Norway — A Description of Demographic, Medical, and Neurological Findings

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC) encompasses several hundred conditions with diverse genetic, pathophysiological, and clinical origins. The overarching EXPLAIN study explores underlying causes and implications of AMC and represents the largest clinical cohort of adults with AMC reported to date.

Integer Factorization of a Positive-Definite Matrix [PDF]

SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 2015
This paper establishes that every positive-definite matrix can be written as a positive linear combination of outer products of integer-valued vectors whose entries are bounded by the geometric mean of the condition number and the dimension of the matrix.

‘Turkeys Cannot Vote for Christmas’: Why Epistemic Disobedience in an Anti‐Black World Matters

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Never in the history of global coloniality has the idea of epistemic disobedience been as important as in the 21st century. This is not only because the struggle for decolonisation has shifted from physical confrontation between the coloniser and the colonised into a battle of ideas but also because the former has deployed the idea of ...

Expectations and Reality: The Lived Experiences of Australians With Psychosocial Disability Within the NDIS

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) was founded on principles of choice and control, for people with significant mental health challenges (what the NDIS calls ‘psychosocial disability’) these ideals often remain elusive. Support systems continue to be fractured and in the context of ongoing policy reforms, it is vital

A modified BFGS formula maintaining positive definiteness with Armijo-Goldstein steplengths [PDF]

, 1994
The line search subproblem in unconstrained optimization is concerned with finding an acceptable steplength satisfying certain standard conditions. The conditions proposed in the early work of Armijo and Goldstein are sometimes replaced by those ...
