Sign changes in linear combinations of derivatives and convolutions of Polya frequency functions

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1979
We obtain upper bounds on the number of sign changes of linear combinations of derivatives and convolutions of Polya frequency functions using the variation diminishing properties of totally positive functions.

Early Body Mass Index z‐Score Change and Resolution of Severe Malnutrition in Children With Sickle Cell Anemia in a Low‐Income Setting: A Prospective Single‐Arm Extension Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in low‐income settings are at risk of severe malnutrition, but optimal nutritional management has not been established. We evaluated an intensified ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) regimen in children with persistent severe malnutrition after initial treatment and assessed whether early ...

High Relative Accuracy for Corner Cutting Algorithms

Axioms
Corner cutting algorithms are important in computer-aided geometric design and they are associated to stochastic non-singular totally positive matrices. Non-singular totally positive matrices admit a bidiagonal decomposition. For many important examples,

Impact of Radiation Therapy on Physical and Psychosocial Health of Adolescents and Young Adults: A Joint Report From the Children's Oncology Group AYA and Radiation Oncology Committees

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rates of cancer among adolescents and young adults (AYA), age 15–39 years, are increasing. Consequently, radiation oncologists are treating more AYAs who have diagnoses spanning both pediatric and adult practices. Compared to pediatric and older adult patients, AYAs face a unique set of challenges.

New results on q-positivity [PDF]

, 2012
In this paper we discuss symmetrically self-dual spaces, which are simply real vector spaces with a symmetric bilinear form. Certain subsets of the space will be called q-positive, where q is the quadratic form induced by the original bilinear form.

Retrospective Analysis of Donor Lymphocyte Infusions in Pediatric Patients With Mixed Chimerism After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) is an essential therapy for several malignant and nonmalignant diseases, but relapse and graft loss remain the principal threats to its success. Routine monitoring of chimerism and minimal residual disease (MRD) enables early detection of imminent recurrence and guides ...

Total Positivity: an application to positive linear operators and to their limiting semigroups

Journal of Numerical Analysis and Approximation Theory, 2007
Some shape-preserving properties of positive linear operators, involving higher order convexity and Lipschitz classes, are investigated from the point of view of weak Tchebycheff systems and total positivity in the sense of Karlin [8].

Accurate Computations with Block Checkerboard Pattern Matrices

Mathematics
In this work, block checkerboard sign pattern matrices are introduced and analyzed. They satisfy the generalized Perron–Frobenius theorem. We study the case related to total positive matrices in order to guarantee bidiagonal decompositions and some ...

Effectiveness of Resistance Intradialytic Exercise Compared to Aerobic Intradialytic Exercise for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.
