This study characterizes a congenital hemorrhagic disorder caused by a platelet function defect with the following features: (1) severely impaired platelet aggregation and fibrinogen or von Willebrand factor (vWF) binding induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP); (2) defective aggregation, release reaction, and fibrinogen or vWF binding induced by other agonists; (3) normal aggregation and releas...

Data aggregation processes are essential constituents in many data management applications. Due to their complexity, designing data aggregation processes often demands considerable efforts. A study on the features of data aggregation processes will provide a comprehensive view for the designers and ease the design process. Existing works either propose application-specific aggregation solutions...

Organisms can minimize their exposure to risk of death or injury by assessing their environment and modifying their behavior accordingly. There is evidence that the current or recent presence of a predator introduces cues to the environment that organisms may use in risk assessment. However, we know little about whether terrestrial organisms use the remains of victims of predation as one such c...

--Generally, aggregative operations are algebraic, such as the addition or multiplication of received data, or statistical operation, such as a median, a minimum, or a maximum of a data set. It reduces a large amount of transmission is the most practical technique. Although data aggregation could significantly reduce transmission, it is vulnerable to some attacks. Some of the existing schemes d...

A robust nonlinear control law is designed to reject unknown feed composition disturbances with overall stability. Implementation to real columns as well as comparisons with classical control strategies, show the robustness and flexibility improvements of the method. Almtracq-Using singular perturbation techniques on a physical model of distillation column, an aggregated model is proposed for c...

Sequences of contemporary proteins are believed to have evolved through a process that optimized their overall fitness, including their resistance to deleterious aggregation. Biotechnological processing may expose therapeutic proteins to conditions that are much more conducive to aggregation than those encountered in a cellular environment. An important task of protein engineering is to identif...

In this paper we consider a multicriteria aggregation model where local utility functions of different sorts are aggregated using Sugeno integrals, and which we refer to as Sugeno utility functions. We propose a general approach to study such functions via the notion of pseudoSugeno integral (or, equivalently, pseudo-polynomial function), which naturally generalizes that of Sugeno integral, and...

in the paper we establish some new results depending on thecomparative growth properties of composition of entire functionsusing relative $l^{ast }$-order (relative $l^{ast }$-lowerorder) as compared to their corresponding left and right factorswhere $lequiv lleft( rright) $ is a slowly changing function.

Many financial decisions involve a need to satisfy multiple criteria (goals). This situation becomes particularly apparent in problems of investment allocation where we are faced with the problem of selecting from a collection of alternative investment packages one that meets our subjective goals such as growth, security and a reasonable return on investment. Another closely related problem, on...

we characterize compact composition operators on real banach spaces of complex-valued bounded lipschitz functions on metric spaces, not necessarily compact, with lipschitz involutions and determine their spectra.
