Nonmyeloablative (NMA) conditioning with total lymphoid irradiation and antithymocyte globulin (TLI/ATG) has been shown to protect against acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). We report here our institutional experience with allogeneic transplantation following NMA conditioning with TLI/ATG (n = 21). GVHD prophylaxis consisted of a combination of a calcineurin inhibitor and mycophenolate mof...

Spectral topic modeling algorithms operate on matrices/tensors of word co-occurrence statistics to learn topic-specific word distributions. This approach removes the dependence on the original documents and produces substantial gains in efficiency and provable topic inference, but at a cost: the model can no longer provide information about the topic composition of individual documents. Recentl...

The Teaching-Learning Interchange (TLI), a federal Preparing Tomorrow’s Teachers to Use Technologies project, will be in its second year of developing an online support community for “pre-intern teachers,” a designation in California for new teachers who are not credentialed and have not passed subject matter competency. The intent of the pre-intern program is to provide a way for those wishing...

This study explores the relationship between competition and performance in a dual-banking setting. More specifically, we compare whether using Traditional Lerner index (TLI) efficiency-adjusted (EALI) would yield different conclusions. We take data from 2008 to 2020 Malaysia as case study. Considering nature of dataset variables within, employ system Generalized Method Moments. Our findings re...

A new type of solid lithium-ion conducting electrolytes prepared by incorporation of Li(+) ions into a cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6])-based organic molecular porous solid shows high Li(+) ion conductivity (∼10(-4) S cm(-1)) and mobility (transference numbers, tLi(+) = 0.7-0.8). In addition, the solid electrolytes show excellent, thermally stable performance even after several temperature cycles.
