BACKGROUND Systematic reviews of complex interventions commonly find heterogeneity of effect sizes among similar interventions which cannot be explained. Commentators have suggested that complex interventions should be viewed as interventions in complex systems. We hypothesised that if this is the case, the distribution of effect sizes from complex interventions should be heavy tailed, as in ot...

Pseudo-Pseudo-Myocardial Infarction To the Editor: Hung and colleagues1 present a very important example of a pseudo-infarction pattern presumably related to pancreatitis, one of several clinical situations in which thrombolytic therapy is either not indicated or contraindicated. I am intrigued by the pattern of the bizarre T waves in the limb leads and wonder if part or all of this phenomenon ...

Special thanks to my parents and friends for their love and support. 1 3-way PARAFAC model: The tensor is represented as a linear combination of r rank-1 tensors. This will provide a rank-r approximation to the original A plot of the loglikelihood functions (θ) in the case of classification for k = 1 (left, θ true = 0.75) and k = 2 (right, θ true = (0.8, 0.6) 3 A plot of the loglikelihood funct...

The aim of this paper is to generalize the‎‎notion of pseudo-almost valuation domains to arbitrary‎ ‎commutative rings‎. ‎It is shown that the classes of chained rings‎ ‎and pseudo-valuation rings are properly contained in the class of‎ ‎pseudo-almost valuation rings; also the class of pseudo-almost‎ ‎valuation rings is properly contained in the class of quasi-local‎ ‎rings with linearly ordere...

intestinal pseudo-obstruction is a condition in which the intestine’s ability to push food through is reduced. it often leads to the dilation of the various parts of the bowel. it can be idiopathic or inherited from a parent, or caused by another disease. we report a rare case of human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) infection in a 3-year-old boy who referred with acute abdominal pain, and was lat...

background: phic31 integrase is a dna site-specific recombinase integrates dna into the chromosomes between the two sites of attb and attp. several pseudo attps have been identified in mammalian genomes with critical features for long-term expression of transgene. in this manuscript, we report a novel intrinsic pseudo attp site named chol1 in the chinese hamster genome implementing an inverse p...
