Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most frequent type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. DLBCL is a molecularly heterogeneous disease, and the addition of Rituximab to combination chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (CHOP) has significantly improved the survival of patients. Gene expression profiling studies revealed that DLBCL comprises two main subgroup...

The Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) was developed as a clinical tool to assess gait, balance and fall risk. Because the DGI evaluates not only usual steady-state walking, but also walking during more challenging tasks, it may be an especially sensitive test. The present investigation evaluated the DGI and its association with falls, fear of falling, depression, anxiety and other measures of balance an...

The well-known ABC-conjecture is generally formulated as follows: The ABC-conjecture. Consider the set S of triples (A, B, C) ∈ N 3 such that ABC = 0, gcd{A, B, C} = 1 and A + B = C Then for every ǫ > 0, there exists a constant K ǫ such that C ≤ K ǫ · R(ABC) 1+ǫ for all triples (A, B, C) ∈ S, where R(ABC) denotes the square-free part of the product ABC. The ABC-conjecture is studied in many pap...

We develop the concept of ABC-Boost (Adaptive Base Class Boost) for multi-class classification and present ABC-MART, a concrete implementation of ABC-Boost. The original MART (Multiple Additive Regression Trees) algorithm has been very successful in large-scale applications. For binary classification, ABC-MART recovers MART. For multi-class classification, ABC-MART considerably improves MART, a...

The displacement tracking performance of the electro-hydraulic servo actuator is critical for hydraulic active suspension control. To tackle problem slow time-varying parameters in existing dynamics model, a nonlinear adaptive back-stepping control (ABC) approach adopted. Simultaneously, ABC are difficult to configure, resulting poor effect. An enhanced particle swarm optimization (PSO) integra...

An N-tiling of triangle ABC by triangle T (the “tile”) is a way of writing ABC as a union of N copies of T overlapping only at their boundaries. We continue the work of [1, 2] on classifying the possible triangle tilings. The results of all three papers together enable us to make some progress on two problems of Erdős about triangle tilings, one of which asks, “for which N is there an N-tiling ...

ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporters are arguably the most important family of ATP-driven transporters in biology. Despite considerable effort and advances in determining the structures and physiology of these transporters, their fundamental molecular mechanisms remain elusive and highly controversial. How does ATP hydrolysis by ABC transporters drive their transport function? Part of the pr...
