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.

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

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

A New Randomized Algorithm for Handling Scheduling Conflicts in Grids
Advances in Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2009 As the scale of Grid platforms grows, the idea of a centralized scheduler loses its efficiency, and it is replaced with the scheme of decentralized schedulers.

Probability-boosting technique for combinatorial optimization [PDF]
PeerJ Computer ScienceIn 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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Fast edge colorings with fixed number of colors to minimize imbalance
Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications, 2008 We study the following optimization problem: the input is a multigraph G=(V,E) and an integer parameter g. A feasible solution consists of a (not necessarily proper) coloring of E with colors 1, 2, …, g.

An introduction to randomized algorithms
Discrete Applied Mathematics, 1991 The concept of randomization is known to be an extremely important tool for the design of algorithms. Its use often yields better time or space complexity compared with the best deterministic algorithms we know of for the same problem; moreover resulting randomized algorithms are often very simple to understand and implement.
