By using averaging functions, several new oscillation criteria are established for the half-linear damped differential equation-2-2-2-2 r(t) (x) +p(t) |x| x,r(t) (x) +q(t)|x| x=0, dx dx dx dx dt dt dt dt α α α α ψ ϕ ψ ⎛ ⎞ ⎛ ⎞ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ ⎠ ⎝ ⎠ and the more general equation-2-2 r(t) (x) +p(t) g(x),r(t) (x) +q(t)g(x)=0, d dx dx dx dx dt dt dt dt dt α α ψ ϕ ψ ⎛ ⎞ ⎛ ⎞ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎝ ⎠ ⎝ ⎠ ...

is cheap (2), where Dt ∈ Rd×q and q min{d, n}. We employ three di erent sketching strategies: 1) gauss. Dt has standard Gaussian entries sampled i.i.d at each iteration. 2) prev. Let dt = −Htgt. Store search directions Dt = [dt+1−q , . . . , dt] and update Ht once every q iterations. 3) fact. Sample Ct ⊆ {1, . . . , d} uniformly at random and set Dt = Lt−1I:Ct ,where Lt−1L T t−1 = Ht−1 and I:Ct...

Two recombinant fragments of diphtheria toxin (DT) were fused to an engineered tandem repeat of the immunoglobulin (Ig) binding domain of protein A, called ZZ. These fragments are (i) the receptor binding domain (DTR), which comprises amino acids 382 to 535 of DT, and (ii) a linear peptide (DT(168-220)) which comprises residues 168 to 220 of the loop between fragment A and fragment B of DT. The...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to establish a minimally invasive defibrillation testing (DT) protocol for patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). METHODS Two different energy DTs were performed, immediately after (15 J-DT) and 7 days after (≤10 J-DT) device implantation, in 20 consecutive ICD implantation patients. Cardiac-troponin T (c-TNT) and heart-type fatty ac...

AIM To optimize the hepatobiliary phase delay time (HBP-DT) of Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (GED-MRI) for more efficient identification of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurring in different degrees of cirrhosis assessed by Child-Pugh (CP) score. METHODS The liver parenchyma signal intensity (LPSI), the liver parenchyma (LP)/HCC signal ratios, and the visibility of HCC at...

Decision tree (DT) is one of the most popular classification algorithms in data mining and machine learning. However, the performance of DT based credit scoring model is often relatively poorer than other techniques. This is mainly due to two reasons: DT is easily affected by (1) the noise data and (2) the redundant attributes of data under the circumstance of credit scoring. In this study, we ...

BACKGROUND Dignity Therapy (DT), an intervention for people facing serious illness, focuses on dignity conservation tasks such as settling relationships, sharing words of love, and preparing a legacy document for loved ones. Research on DT began more than a decade ago and has been conducted in 7 countries, but a systematic review of DT research has not been published. METHODS Using a PubMed s...

The current state-of-the-art singledocument summarization method generates a summary by solving a Tree Knapsack Problem (TKP), which is the problem of finding the optimal rooted subtree of the dependency-based discourse tree (DEP-DT) of a document. We can obtain a gold DEP-DT by transforming a gold Rhetorical Structure Theory-based discourse tree (RST-DT). However, there is still a large differ...
