The Cohen-Kaplan-Nelson bound is imposed on the grounds of logical consistency (with classical General Relativity) upon local quantum field theories. This paper puts into context a thermodynamic principle applicable to with particular equation state in an expanding universe. achieved without overtly appealing either decreasing density states or minimum coupling requirement, though they might st...

In carcinogenicity experiments with animals where the tumor is not palpable it is common to observe only the time of death of the animal, the cause of death (the tumor or another independent cause, as sacrifice) and whether the tumor was present at the time of death. These last two indicator variables are evaluated after an autopsy. Defining the non-negative variables T1 (time of tumor onset), ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) from diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) when applied to the 7th TNM classification in the staging and prognosis of gastric cancer (GC). METHODS Between October 2009 and May 2014, a total of 89 patients with non-metastatic, biopsy proven GC underwent 1.5T DW-MRI, and then treated with radical surgery....

OBJECTIVES This study sought to analyze the impact of new asymptomatic cerebral ischemic lesions, found in diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) after carotid artery stenting (CAS) in relation to other risk factors for major adverse cerebral and cardiovascular events (MACCE) defined as death, stroke, and myocardial infarction. BACKGROUND After CAS, new cerebral lesions have b...

Context-dependent rewrite rules are used in many areas of natural language and speech processing. Work in computational phonology has demonstrated that, given certain conditions, such rewrite rules can be represented as nite-state transducers (FSTs). We describe a new algorithm for compiling rewrite rules into FSTs. We show the algorithm to be simpler and more eecient than existing algorithms. ...

The branch of statistics relative to analysis of predictable period of time until one or more event occurs is termed survival analysis. Survival analysis is a system of data collection and analysis where the outcome variable is the time until the event of an interest occurs [1]. The technique deals with the creation of timing data that goes with event of either failure or death. However the pat...
