On the one hand Dr. John's paper is a reintegration of previous animal work originally published during the period 1959 to 1977, and on the other hand, it is a refocusing on a subset of this work translated to human subjects. The subissue in Dr. John's paper is the content of consciousness and not, specifically, the operation of consciousness. Previously, Dr. John helped to show why it is anato...

In the scholarly discussion of inbound innovation, open innovation approaches for how private companies (PCs) can collaborate with grassroots-driven communities (GOCs) have received much less attention than crowdsourcing approaches. At same time, research acknowledges that PCs struggle to GOCs in distributed (ODI) processes due incompatibility central values, structures and activities. Based on...

TOPIC: Palliative Care and End of Life Issues TYPE: Original Investigations PURPOSE: The Rapid Response Team (RRT) plays a critical role in goals-of-care (GOC) end-of-life (EOL) discussions, up to third its calls revolve around such situations. RRT can face several challenges while facilitating including limited time assess the situation, lack prior rapport with patient, inability critically il...

The stability of genomes is highly variable, both in terms of gene content and gene order. Here I calibrate the loss of gene order conservation (GOC) through time by fitting a simple probabilistic model on pairwise comparisons involving 126 bacterial genomes. The model computes the probability of separation of pairs of contiguous genes per unit of time and fits the data better than previous one...

BACKGROUND American College of Chest Physicians' (CHEST) new Living Guidelines Model will not only provide clinicians with guidance based on the most clinically relevant and current science but will also allow expert-informed guidance to fill in any gaps in the existing evidence. These guidance documents will be updated, as necessary, using one or more of three processes: (1) evidence-based gui...

Image super-resolution is defined as a class of techniques that enhance the spatialresolution of images. Super-resolution methods can be subdivided in single and multiimage methods. This thesis focuses on developing algorithms based on mathematicaltheories for single image super-resolution problems. Indeed, in order to estimate anoutput image, we adopt a mixed approach: i.e., we...
