Association Between Individualized Education for Kidney Replacement Therapy Modality Selection and Peritoneal Dialysis Initiation: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
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.

A Randomized Algorithm for CCA

CoRR, 2014
We present RandomizedCCA, a randomized algorithm for computing canonical analysis, suitable for large datasets stored either out of core or on a distributed file system. Accurate results can be obtained in as few as two data passes, which is relevant for distributed processing frameworks in which iteration is expensive (e.g., Hadoop). The strategy also

Reduction of Phase Shifters in Planar Phased Arrays Using Novel Random Subarray Techniques

Applied Sciences
Reducing the number of phase shifters by grouping antenna elements into subarrays has been extensively studied for decades. The number of phase shifters directly affects the cost, complexity, and power consumption of the system.

Probability-boosting technique for combinatorial optimization [PDF]

PeerJ Computer Science
In many combinatorial optimization problems we want a particular set of k out of n items with some certain properties (or constraints). These properties may involve the k items.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
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 ...

RANDOMIZED ALGORITHMS FOR MOTIF DETECTION [PDF]

Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, 2005
Motivation: Motif detection for DNA sequences has many important applications in biological studies, e.g. locating binding sites regulatory signals, designing genetic probes etc. In this paper, we propose a randomized algorithm, design an improved EM algorithm and combine them to form a software tool. Results: (1) We design a randomized algorithm for

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

A Randomized Algorithm for 3-SAT [PDF]

Mathematics in Computer Science, 2010
In this work we propose and analyze a simple randomized algorithm to find a satisfiable assignment for a Boolean formula in conjunctive normal form (CNF) having at most 3 literals in every clause. Given a k-CNF formula phi on n variables, and alpha in{0,1}^n that satisfies phi, a clause of phi is critical if exactly one literal of that clause is ...
