متن کاملStochastic Reasoning About Channel-Based Component Connectors
Constraint automata have been used as an operational model for component connectors that coordinate the cooperation and communication of the components by means of a network of channels. In this paper, we introduce a variant of constraint automata (called continuous-time constraint automata) that allows us to specify time-dependent stochastic assumptions about the channel connections or the com...

متن کاملIntrathecal Injections in Children With Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Nusinersen (ISIS-SMNRx or ISIS 396443) is an antisense oligonucleotide drug administered intrathecally to treat spinal muscular atrophy. We summarize lumbar puncture experience in children with spinal muscular atrophy during a phase 1 open-label study of nusinersen and its extension.
