In earlier work, we derived a transducer HC that translates from sequences of Gaussian mixture models directly to phone sequences. The HC transducer was statically expanded then determinized and minimized. In this work, we present a refinement of the correct algorithm whereby the initial HC transducer is incrementally expanded and immediately determinized. This technique avoids the need for a f...

Nonleptonic B to charmonium decays generally deviate from the factorization predictions. We study rescattering effects mediated by intermediate charmed mesons in this class of decay modes and, in particular, we consider B− → K−hc with hc the J PC = 1 c̄c meson, relating this mode to B− → K−χc0. We find B(B− → K−hc) large enough to be measured at the B factories, hence this process could be used ...

In this paper we introduce and study the concepts of HC-closed set and HClimit (HC-cluster) points of L-nets and L-ideals using the notion of almost N -compact remoted neighbourhoods in L-topological spaces. Then we introduce and study the concept of HL-continuous mappings. Several characterizations based on HC-closed sets and the HC-convergence theory of L-nets and L-ideals are presented for H...

We performed a case-control study to determine the association of BK plasma viremia with hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) in hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients. Thirty cases of HC (14 of which occurred after platelet engraftment with documented BK viruria [BK-HC]) were compared with matched controls. Weekly plasma samples were tested for BK virus DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). BK ...

The evaluation of chronic activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is critical for determining the impact of chronic stressful situations. However, current methods have important limitations. The potential use of hair glucocorticoids as a noninvasive retrospective biomarker of long-term HPA activity is gaining acceptance in humans and wild animals. However, there is no study ex...

We conducted a retrospective study to investigate the incidence, risk factors, and clinical features of hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Adult patients who developed HC after allo-HCT were identified from the HCT database of the Asan Medical Center and their medical records were reviewed. From December 1993 to August 2001, a total of ...

A number of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies reported the existence of default mode network (DMN) and its disruption due to the presence of a disease such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this investigation, first, we used the independent component analysis (ICA) technique to confirm the DMN difference between patients with AD and normal control (NC) reported in previous stud...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Studies on the association between head circumference (HC) and height or weight have shown variable results. METHODS Using data from the Dutch nationwide survey performed in 1997 (n = 14,500), we calculated correlations for different ages, and fitted a regression model for the estimation of HC. HC versus height charts were created for different age groups. Data from children f...

To find a relationship between clinical and sonographic appearance of hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) in pediatric hematooncology patients. Clinical and sonographic findings of 31 children (M:F = 18:13; mean age, 12.7 years) with HC in pediatric hematooncology patients were reviewed. For each patient, the onset of HC after transplantation, use of bladder-toxic agent, presence of BK viruria, and durat...
