introduction: acute rejection of renal transplant is a serious and common systemic inflammatory disorder which leads to decreasing half-life of transplant organ. current diagnoses method is an invasive biopsy procedure on allogtraft kidney. therefore, applying a novel and noninvasive diagnostic method such as granzym b level in acute renal transplantation could help patients and improves surviv...

When the times between renewals in a renewal process are not exponentially distributed, simulation can become a viable method of analysis. The renewal function is estimated through simulation for a renewal process simulation for a renewal process with gamma distributed renewal times and the shape parameter a > 1. Gamma random deviates will be generated by means of the so called Acceptance Rejec...

In the note we consider an iterative generalisation of the rejection sampling method. In high energy physics, this sampling is frequently used for event generation, i.e. preparation of phase space points distributed according to a matrix element squared |M |2 for a scattering process. In many realistic cases |M |2 is a complicated multi-dimensional function, so, the standard von Neumann procedu...

This paper proposes a new method for rejecting the Continuous Wave Interferences (CWI) in the Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. The proposed filter is made by cascading an adaptive Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter and a Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT) based filter. Although adaptive FIR filters are easy to implement and have a linear phase, they create self-noise in the rejection of...

background: kidney transplantation is the best alternative treatment for end-stage renal disease. several studies have been devoted to investigate predisposing factors of graft rejection. however, there is inconsistency between the results. the objective of the present study was to utilize an intuitive and robust approach for variable selection, random survival forests (rsf), and to identify im...

Any single hash function chosen can encounter some bad worst-case inputs that cause linear-time rather than constant-time performance. The remedy devised by Carter and Wegman 2] is to choose a hash function randomly from a good collection H of hash functions and get constant expected performance independent of any particular input sequence. We say that H is c-universal if for every pair of inpu...

The system-level dynamics of multivalent biomolecular interactions can be simulated using a rule-based kinetic Monte Carlo method in which a rejection sampling strategy is used to generate reaction events. This method becomes inefficient when simulating aggregation processes with large biomolecular complexes. Here, we present a rejectionfree method for determining the kinetics of multivalent bi...

conclusions patients’ experiences of stigma and rejection phenomena indicated that all aspects of their lives are affected. moreover, these findings highlight the significance of stigma and rejection concepts in providing better care to these patients. results after analysis of interviews, four themes were extracted: lack of social support, unrealistic and inappropriate labeling, rejection and ...
