Revisiting linearly extended discrete functions

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Cryptology
The authors introduced a new family of cryptographic schemes in a previous research article, which includes many practical encryption schemes, such as the Feistel family. Given a finite field of order qq, any n>m≥0n\gt m\ge 0, the authors described a new

On distance in total variation between image measures [PDF]

open access: yesStatistics & Probability Letters, 2017
We are interested in the estimation of the distance in total variation $$ := \|P_{f(X)} - P_{g(X)}\|_{\mathrm var} $$ between distributions of random variables $f(X)$ and $g(X)$ in terms of proximity of $f$ and $g.$ We propose a simple general method of estimating $ $.

Existence and Continuity of Differential Entropy for a Class of Distributions

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper, we identify a class of absolutely continuous probability distributions, and show that the differential entropy is uniformly convergent over this space under the metric of total variation distance.

Results of the Childhood Cancer and Leukaemia Group's United Kingdom Relapsed Wilms Tumour Trial

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The United Kingdom relapsed Wilms tumour (UKW‐R) trial aimed to improve the historically low survival rates after relapse of Wilms tumour (WT) through a prospective national risk‐stratified protocol. The trial also evaluated efficacy and toxicity of high‐dose melphalan.

Simple K-Medoids Partitioning Algorithm for Mixed Variable Data

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2019
A simple and fast k-medoids algorithm that updates medoids by minimizing the total distance within clusters has been developed. Although it is simple and fast, as its name suggests, it nonetheless has neglected local optima and empty clusters that may ...

Exploring Preferences for a Digital Single‐Session Intervention for Adolescent Siblings of Youth With Cancer

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Adolescent siblings of children with cancer are at elevated risk for psychosocial problems. Unfortunately, various barriers such as limited family time and resources, conflicting schedules, and psychosocial staffing constraints at cancer centers hinder sibling access to support.

Genetic Variation and Phylogeographic Analysis of Native Chicken Populations in Myanmar and Thailand

open access: yesThe Journal of Poultry Science, 2012
Native chickens in Myanmar and Thailand have been being domesticated for generations and yielded a wide variety of chickens. The objective of the research is to analyze the genetic variation and relationships of native chicken populations in Myanmar and

Bounds for Approximation in Total Variation Distance by Quantum Circuits [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
It was recently shown that for reasonable notions of approximation of states and functions by quantum circuits, almost all states and functions are exponentially hard to approximate [Knill 1995].

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...
