Study Design Systematic review and meta-analysis. Objective The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review to assess the comparative effectiveness and safety of high-dose methylprednisolone sodium succinate (MPSS) versus no pharmacological treatment in patients with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods A systematic search was performed in PubMed and the Cochrane Colla...

We investigate the relation between the scaling of block entropies and the efficient simulability by matrix product states (MPSs) and clarify the connection both for von Neumann and Rényi entropies. Most notably, even states obeying a strict area law for the von Neumann entropy are not necessarily approximable by MPSs. We apply these results to illustrate that quantum computers might outperform...

Massively Parallel Signature Sequencing (MPSS), a recently developed high-throughput transcription profiling technology, has the ability to profile almost every transcript in a sample without requiring prior knowledge of the sequence of the transcribed genes. As is the case with DNA microarrays, effective data analysis depends crucially on understanding how noise affects measurements. We analyz...

Our study is primarily interested in limiting the spread of malwares via SMS/MMS, and Emails. It describes the steps leading to identify, analyze and secure traffic in mobile networks. For this purpose, a Framework MPSS has been used to be part of the network of the mobile network operator. MPSS aims to increase the level of information security across the telecom provider network in order to r...

BACKGROUND Acute intervertebral disk herniation (IVDH) is a common cause of spinal cord injury in dogs and currently there is no proven medical treatment to counter secondary injury effects. Use of methylprednisolone sodium succinate (MPSS) or polyethylene glycol (PEG) as neuroprotectants is advocated but controversial because neither treatment has been tested in placebo-controlled, randomized,...

Feature Product family engineering permits soft ware component reuse, which saves both time and money. To succeed, the process must suppor t variabilit y among the family's systems. The authors developed a simple method that uses patterns to model variabilit y and applied it to development of spacecraft mission-planning systems. or each of its spacecraft, the European Space Operations Centre (E...

We present the results of a simple, statistical assay that measures the G+C content sensitivity bias of gene expression experiments without the requirement of a duplicate experiment. We analyse five gene expression profiling methods: Affymetrix GeneChip, Long Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (LongSAGE), LongSAGELite, 'Classic' Massively Parallel Signature Sequencing (MPSS) and 'Signature' MPS...

A central computational problem for analyzing and model checking various classes of infinite-state recursive probabilistic systems (including quasi-birth-death processes, multi-type branching processes, stochastic context-free grammars, probabilistic pushdown automata and recursive Markov chains) is the computation of termination probabilities, and computing these probabilities in turn boils do...

This paper proposes the application of a hierarchical fuzzy system (HFS) based on multi-input power system stabilizer (MPSS) in multi-machine environment. The number of rules increases exponentially with the number of variables in a standard fuzzy system. This problem is solved in the proposed HFS method. In this method, the total number of rules increases only linearly with the number of input...

Nonstabilizerness, also known as magic, quantifies the number of non-Clifford operations needed to prepare a quantum state. As typical measures either involve minimization procedures or computational cost exponential in qubits $N$, it is notoriously hard characterize for many-body states. In this paper, we show that nonstabilizerness, quantified by recently introduced stabilizer R\'enyi entropi...
