The restricted isometry condition. The proof that the Restricted Isometry Condition is sufficient for sparse recovery using convex programming is due to Candes and Tao [2]. A simpler proof, also due to Candes and Tao, is in [4]. Applications of restricted isometries to vector quantization and democratic coding are found in [10], and applications to computing the condition number of random matri...

Design systems can have considerable embedded value. Improvements in such systems are better achieved through upgrades than through complete replacements. To determine how best to make these upgrades requires a systems view of design, ^uch a view is provided by what we call TAO (testaspect-operator) graphs. Nodes in these graphs represent aspects of the artifacts being designed while arcs repre...

Much as Christianity has informed the development of the arts in the West thematically as well as compositionally, Taoism, one of the key philosophical systems to emerge out of China in the sixth or fifth century BCE, has left its stamp on Chinese art, literature and music. Leading translator of Asian spiritual literature, Thomas Cleary, pays tribute to the enormous impact of Taoist thought on ...

GPCG is an algorithm within the Toolkit for Advanced Optimization (TAO) for solving bound constrained, convex quadratic problems. Originally developed by Moré and Toraldo [19], this algorithm was designed for large-scale problems but had been implemented only for a single processor. The TAO implementation is available for a wide range of high-performance architecture, and has been tested on up ...

A ttempts to understand the pathogenesis of thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO) have failed, in part because of confounding features associated with its variable clinical presentation. In the absence of a more complete insight into disease mechanisms, no specific and effective therapy can be developed. It is our view that much of the information necessary to unravel the complexities of TAO and...

By a framework for concurrent design we mean: (1) formal ways of stating the problems of concurrent design, (2) visualization (conceptualization) aids to help devise strategies for solving these problems, and (3) implementation aids to help translate the strategies into working systems. This paper begins by defining some terms, including "conflict," and "computational path." Next, concurrent de...

Purpose To describe the effect of tocilizumab in two patients with thyroid associated orbitopathy (TAO). Observations We present two patients with TAO who could not tolerate corticosteroids and had a reduction in clinical and laboratory markers of inflammatory activity with subsequent tocilizumab therapy. Conclusions and importance The IL-6 receptor antibody tocilizumab is a promising candi...

Transabdominal fine needle aspiration biopsy has undergone considerable progression since the first edition of this book published by Dr. Tao in 1990. The present monograph has been built upon the foundation laid by Dr. Tao-a pioneer in transabdominal fine needle aspiration biopsy. Dr. Tao was able to bring his extensive personal experience that helped shape the inter-abdominal aspiration cytop...
