We consider the problem of recovering a high-dimensional structured signal from independent Gaussian linear measurements each of which is quantized to b bits. Our interest is in linear approaches to signal recovery, where “linear” means that non-linearity resulting from quantization is ignored and the observations are treated as if they arose from a linear measurement model. Specifically, the f...

Consider the class of protocols, for two participants, in which the initiator applies a sequence of operators to a message M and sends it to the other participant ; in each step, one of the participants applies a sequence of operators to the message received last, and sends it back . This "ping-pong" action continues several times, using sequences of operators as specified by the protocol . The...

introduction : root canal treatment (rct) success criteria inform us of the path to bony healing and of prognostic factors, but tell little about how the patient perceives, feels, or values rct. patients choose, undergo, and pay for rct, they live with the result, and inform their community. the purpose of this narrative review was to appraise patient-centered outcomes of initial non-surgical r...

Two studies in this issue, Kristariyanto et al. (2015) and Michel et al. (2015), describe innovative ways to produce large quantities of atypical K29 and K33 ubiquitin chains and report structures and mechanisms of chain-specific recognition.

By the year 2030, it is projected that the US population over the age of 65 years will be 70 million (one-fifth of the US population). Pain of various etiologies initiates about 50% of yearly physician visits and is the most frequent reason for health care consultation in the United States identified commonly by the older patient. The negative impact on the patient coupled with less than optima...

introduction: urinary incontinence (ui) is high prevalent in older women. little is known about how they manage with this chronic condition from their points of view. the aim of this study was to explore older women’s experiences of management strategies in dealing with urinary incontinence.  methods: eight community dwelling women aged 60 and over, with long term ui participated in this qualit...
