30-Day Mortality Prediction of Patients With Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
(2016-05-21)The paper builds a prediction model of 30-day mortality risk in patients with CHF. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) was applied to select the significant features. Three data mining techniques, namely, ... -
Absolute Configuration and Polymorphism of 2-phenylbutyramide and a-methyl -a-phenylsuccinimide
(Crystal Growth & Designs, 2014)Crystal structures of racemic and homochiral forms of 2-phenylbutyramide (1) and 3-methyl-3-phenylpyrrolidine-2,5-dione (2) were investigated in detail by a single crystal X-ray diffraction study. Absolute configurations ... -
Acoustic Flame Suppression Mechanics in a Microgravity Environment
(Microgravity Science and Technology, 2015)The following paper deals with acoustic flame suppression mechanics in a microgravity environment with measurements taken from an Arduino-based sensor system and validation of the technique. A Zippo lighter is ignited ... -
An Ada Solution to the General Mutual Exclusion Problem
(Ada Letters, 1993)Although some specific mutual exclusion problems have been studied extensively, automatic solutions to synchronize general mutual exclusion problems with arbitrary mutual exclusion constraints have not been fully explored. ... -
An Advanced Bus Architecture for AES-Encrypted High-Performance Embedded Systems
(2017-10-19)Methods and systems of AES-centric bus architectures and AES-centric state transfer modes are provided. The bus architecture may be implemented on system-on-chip (SoC) devices in conjunction with existing intellectual ... -
Aerobic Biodegradation Kinetics of Four Anionic and Nonionic Surfactants at Sub and Supra Critical Micelle Concentrations
(Water Resarch, 1999)Aerobic biodegradation of four representative commercial surfactants under a range of concentrations (i.e., sub- and supra-critical micelle concentrations, CMCs) beyond those ordinarily used in biodegradation studies was ... -
An Algorithm for Combining Graphs Based on Shared Knowledge
(International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, 2012)We propose an algorithm for connecting nodes from multiple disconnected graphs based on a given tuple set representing shared knowledge. The set of tuples is used to create bridgeedges for combining two graphs. The path ... -
Anaerobic Biotransformation of 2,4-Dinitrotoluene and 2,6-Dinitotoluene by Clostridium acetobutylicum: A Pathway through Dihydroxylamino-Intermediates
(Environmental Science and Technology, 1999)Experiments were conducted to isolate and identify the intermediates and products of 2,4-dinitrotoluene and 2,6-dinitrotoluene metabolism by Clostridium acetobutylicum. Transformation of both dinitrotoluenes initially ... -
Analysis and Metrics of XML Schema
(Proceedings of the 2004 International Conference on Software Engineering Research and Practice, 2004-06)Despite the ubiquity of XML, research in metrics for XML documents is scarce. This paper proposes and discusses eleven metrics to measure the quality and complexity of XML Schema and conforming XML documents. To provide ... -
Analysis of Inorganic Nitrogen and Related Anions in High Salinity Water Using Ion Chromatography with Tandem UV and Conductivity Detectors
(Journal of Chromatographic Science, 2011)Over 97% of the Earth's water is high salinity water in the form of gulfs, oceans, and salt lakes. There is an increasing concern for the quality of water in bays, gulfs, oceans, and other natural waters. These waters are ... -

Anticonvulsant Lactams, Cyclic Imides and Acetamides: From Chemical Crystallograpy to Molecular Pharmaceutics
(Current Pharmaceutical Designs, 2016)The antiepileptic activity of α-substituted acetamides, lactams, and cyclic imides has been known for over six decades. We recently proposed an α-substituted amide group as the minimum pharmacophore responsible for inhibition ... -
Anticonvulsants Based on the a-substituted Amide Group Pharmacophore Bind to and Inhibit Functions of Neuronal Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors
(ACS Chemical Neuroscience, 2016)Although the antiepileptic properties of α-substituted lactams, acetamides, and cyclic imides have been known for over 60 years, the mechanism by which they act remains unclear. I report here that these compounds bind to ... -
Assessing Information Systems and Computer Information Systems Programs from a Balanced Scorecard Perspective
(Journal of Information Systems Education (JISE), 2012)Assessment of educational programs is one of the important means used in academia for accountability, accreditation, and improvement of program quality. The assessment practices, guidelines, and requirements are very broad ... -
Assessing the Policy Interaction Effect of Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) and Clean Power Plan (CPP) Emissions Goals for States in the U.S. Northeast
(PowerEnergy2016, 2016-06-26)With the proposed Clean Power Plan for regulating carbon emissions from the power sector in the U.S, policymakers are likely to use a cost optimization framework to plan for future scenarios and implementation strategies. ... -
Assessing the Underlying Breast Cancer risk of Chinese Females contributed by dietary intake of residual DDT from Agricultural Soils
(Environment International, 2014)The greatest concern over DDT exposure in China arose since the early 1990s for the rising breast cancer incidence, and the cause still remains to be elucidated. An extensive survey of DDT background in agricultural soils, ... -
Assessment Model and Practices for Computing and Information Systems Programs
(ISECON 2010 Proceedings, 2010)Assessment of educational programs is one of the important means used in academia for accountability, accreditation, and improvement of program quality. The assessment practices, guidelines, and requirements are very broad ... -
Atomic Insights into Distinct Hormonal Activities of Bisphenol A Analogues toward PPARy and ERa Receptors
(2014)Bisphenol A analogues (BPAs) belong to a wide variety of large volume chemicals with diverse applications yet emerging environmental concerns. Limited experimental data have demonstrated that BPAs with different halogenation ... -
