The geometry of self-affine fractals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In this thesis we study the dimension theory of self-affine sets. We begin by introducing a number of notions from fractal geometry, in particular, dimensions, measure properties and iterated functions systems.

Pluripotent transcription factors possess distinct roles in normal versus transformed human stem cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
Cancer and normal stem cells (SCs) share proliferative properties of self-renewal and expression of key transcription factors (TFs). Despite similar TF identities, the functional role of specific TFs responsible for retaining SC state has yet to be ...

On the cross-variation of a class of stochastic processes

open access: yesResults in Applied Mathematics
The present paper deals with the study of the cross-variation of two-dimensional stochastic process defined using the Young integral with respect to a continuous, α-self-similar Gaussian process that does not necessarily have stationary increments, with ...

Overweight/Obesity-Related Attitudes and Self-Care Behaviours: Evaluation and Comparison of the Protection Motivation Model and Theory of Planned Behaviour

open access: yesJournal of Pacific Rim Psychology, 2015
The present study identified, evaluated, and compared two health belief/attitudinal models (protection motivation theory and the theory of planned behaviour) that explain the decision-making processes associated with both the intention for and engagement

On the Self-Similarity in Biological Processes

open access: yesOpen Journal of Biophysics, 2017
We show that the processes described by Avrami functions are self-similar. A comparative function characterizes a self-similar process by a certain Avrami exponent. We define the self-similar categories of some well-known biological processes. The method to determine the Avrami exponent by choosing the comparative function is demonstrated on the ...

Social Functioning Within the First Years After Pediatric Brain Tumor Diagnosis and the Relationship With Family Psychosocial Risk

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Survivors of pediatric brain tumors (PBTs) can experience long‐term social difficulties, impacting quality of life. Beyond medical and environmental factors, family psychosocial risk may play a role in social outcomes by shaping the caregiving environment and may provide intervention options.

A Time Series Forecasting Method

open access: yesITM Web of Conferences, 2017
This paper proposes a novel time series forecasting method based on a weighted self-constructing clustering technique. The weighted self-constructing clustering processes all the data patterns incrementally.

To be or want to be: disentangling the role of actual versus ideal self in implicit self-esteem. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
A growing body of work suggests that both depressed and non-depressed individuals display implicit positivity towards the self. In the current study, we examined whether this positivity can be underpinned by two qualitatively distinct propositions ...

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

open access: yesTherapeutic 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.
