Since the early 1980s, the research community has developed ever more sophisticated algorithms for the problem of energy disaggregation, but despite decades of research, there is still a dearth of applications with demonstrated value. In this work, we explore a question that is highly pertinent to this research community: how good does energy disaggregation need to be in order to infer characte...

The treatment of Chagas disease is limited by the frequent cutaneous side effects of benznidazole. We tested the use of steroids plus escalating doses of benznidazole to prevent this complication in 17 adult patients with chronic Trypanosoma cruzi infection and found extremely good tolerance. A randomized trial is warranted.

In this paper, we investigate various kinds of extensions of twin-good rings. Moreover, we prove that every element of an abelian neat ring R is twin-good if and only if R has no factor ring isomorphic to‌ Z2  or Z3. The main result of [24] states some conditions that any right self-injective ring R is twin-good. We extend this result to any regular Baer ring R by proving that every elemen...
