Abstract Survival (overall, event free, etc.) is the most-used outcome in clinical oncology studies. This study analyzed methodological reporting of survival analysis pediatric leukemia studies, focusing on Cox proportional hazards (PH). We performed a systematic review studies published between 2012 and 2021 five highest-ranking hematology journals. The included had to focus utilize analyses. ...

Let K denote a field and let V denote a vector space over K with finite positive dimension. We consider a pair of linear transformations A : V → V and A∗ : V → V that satisfy the following conditions: (i) each of A,A∗ is diagonalizable; (ii) there exists an ordering {Vi} d i=0 of the eigenspaces of A such that A ∗Vi ⊆ Vi−1+Vi+Vi+1 for 0 ≤ i ≤ d, where V−1 = 0 and Vd+1 = 0; (iii) there exists an...

and Applied Analysis 3 Remark 5. Assumption (13) holds if the system has a unique solution. For brevity, we rewrite system (2)∼(5) in the vector form by introducing W(x, t) = (u(x, t), n(x, t)) and Y(x, t) = (a(x, t), b(x, t)). We denote by E 0 = H 2 ⋂H 1 0 (Ω) × H 1 0 (Ω) the space of vector functionsW(x, t) = (u(x, t), n(x, t)) with norm E0 = {‖u‖ 2 H 2 + ‖n‖ 2 H 1} 1/2 . (14) Similarly, we d...

We introduce a general construction of fully simulatable oblivious transfer based on lossy encryption. Furthermore, we extend the common definition of lossy encryption by introducing the notion of computationally lossy encryption. If the cryptosystem used is computationally lossy, our general construction yields oblivious transfer protocols with computational security for both parties. Otherwis...

Functional encryption is a new paradigm in public-key encryption that allows users to finely control the amount of information that is revealed by a ciphertext to a given receiver. Recent papers have focused their attention on constructing schemes for general functionalities at expense of efficiency. Our goal, in this paper, is to construct functional encryption schemes for less general functio...

This paper builds on the previous paper by the author, where a relationship between Zhedanov’s algebra AW (3) and the double affine Hecke algebra (DAHA) corresponding to the Askey-Wilson polynomials was established. It is shown here that the spherical subalgebra of this DAHA is isomorphic to AW (3) with an additional relation that the Casimir operator equals an explicit constant. A similar resu...
