PURPOSE The use of intravenous golimumab (GLM-IV), in combination with methotrexate, was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in July 2013 for the treatment of moderate to severe, active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). GLM-IV is available in 50-mg vials, and the prescribing information specifies a dosing regimen of 2 mg/kg at 0 and 4 weeks and then every 8 weeks thereafter. The purpose of...

This paper documents the performance of a Bayesian Conway-Maxwell-Poisson (COM-Poisson) generalized linear model (GLM). This distribution was originally developed as an extension of the Poisson distribution in 1962 and has a unique characteristic, in that it can handle both under-dispersed and over-dispersed count data. Previous work by the authors lead to the development of a dual-link GLM bas...

The Fock space of m+p bosonic and n+q fermionic quantum oscillators forms a unitarizable module of the general linear superalgebra glm+p|n+q. Its tensor powers decompose into direct sums of infinite dimensional irreducible highest weight glm+p|n+q-modules. We obtain an explicit decomposition of any tensor power of this Fock space into irreducibles, and develop a character formula for the irredu...

Taiwan is famous for its “manufacturing flexibility” all over the world. It has constructed a complete physical supply chain system. In the past ten years, Taiwanese enterprises have transformed from business-oriented to consumer-oriented and have developed internet technology applications. In order to face the rapidly changing business environment, Taiwan government has promoted many business ...
