We describe the q–Engel series expansion for Laurent series discovered by John Knopfmacher and use this algorithm to shed new light on partition identities related to two entries from Slater’s list. In our study Al-Salam/Ismail and Santos polynomials play a crucial rôle. Dedicated to the memory of John Knopfmacher 1937–1999

A new graph algorithm for multiscale segmentation of threedimensional medical data sets is presented. It is a threedimensional generalisation of an existing two-dimensional Mumford-Shah region-merging segmentation algorithm. The Mumford-Shah functional formulation leads to improved segmentation results compared to alternative approaches; the graph theoretic approach yields improved performance ...

We previously identified (Hwang DY and Ismail-Beigi F. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 281: C1365-C1372, 2001) a 44-bp GC-rich segment of the rat proximal glucose transporter (Glut)1 promoter, located at -104 to -61, as necessary for basal transcription of the Glut1 gene. Using deletion and mutational analysis and expression of transfected reporter constructs, we report in the present study that muta...

OBJECTIVE To estimate how many U.S. adults with diabetes would be eligible for individualized A1C targets based on 1) the 2012 American Diabetes Association (ADA) guideline and 2) a published approach for individualized target ranges. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied adults with diabetes ≥20 years of age from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2008 (n = 757). We a...
