Linear immunoglobulin A (IgA) bullous dermatosis (LABD) is an autoimmune mucocutaneous disease characterized by subepidermal blistering induced by IgA autoantibodies against several autoantigens in the basal membranous zone of the skin and mucosal tissue. Although diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS), also known as dapsone, is generally recognized as the first-line therapy for LABD, DDS can induce sev...

Erratum This erratum is in response to comments made to our recently published study “The Effects of the DDS-1 Strain of Lactobacillus on Symptomatic Relief for Lactose Intolerance A Randomized, Double-Blind, PlaceboControlled, Crossover Clinical Trial” [1]. The Frese et. al. study [2] compares autochthonous strains of Lactobacillus to DDS-1, an allochthonous strain. This is a significant aspec...

Abs t r ac t . Approximate string matching is a sequential problem and therefore it is possible to solve it using finite automata. A nondeterministic finite automaton is constructed for string matching with k mismatches. It is shown, how "dynamic programming" and "shift-and" based algorithms simulate this nondeterministic finite automaton. The corresponding deterministic finite automaton have O...

We present strategies for “online” dynamic power management(DPM) based on the notion of the competitive ratio that allows us to compare the effectiveness of algorithms against an optimal strategy. This paper makes two contributions: it provides a theoretical basis for the analysis of DPM strategies for systems with multiple power down states; and provides a competitive algorithm based on probab...

Population dynamics are often subject to random independent changes in the environment. For the two strategy stochastic replicator dynamic, we assume that stochastic changes in the environment replace the payoffs and variance. This is modeled by a continuous time Markov chain in a finite atom space. We establish conditions for this dynamic to have an analogous characterization of the long-run b...
