Pharmacokinetics of dabigatran etexilate and rivaroxaban in patients with short bowel syndrome requiring parenteral nutrition: The PDER PAN study
2017
Background and aims: Patients on parenteral nutrition for short bowel syndrome (SBS) have a high risk of thrombotic complications and are often treated with parenteral anticoagulation. Direct oral anticoagulants are absorbed proximally in the digestive tract and may represent alternative regimens in selected SBS patients. In our pilot study, we provided pharmacokinetics parameters of dabigatran etexilate and rivaroxaban in this setting and compared peak (Cmax), trough (Ctrough) concentrations, and areas-under-the-concentration-time-curve (AUC(0) (-) (t)) to reference values retrieved from phase I-III studies. Methods: We enrolled 6 adults with a remaining small bowel length <= 200 cm, norma…
Uncertainty quantification in simulations of epidemics using polynomial chaos.
2012
Mathematical models based on ordinary differential equations are a useful tool to study the processes involved in epidemiology. Many models consider that the parameters are deterministic variables. But in practice, the transmission parameters present large variability and it is not possible to determine them exactly, and it is necessary to introduce randomness. In this paper, we present an application of the polynomial chaos approach to epidemiological mathematical models based on ordinary differential equations with random coefficients. Taking into account the variability of the transmission parameters of the model, this approach allows us to obtain an auxiliary system of differential equa…
Algebras of unbounded operators and physical applications: a survey
2009
After a historical introduction on the standard algebraic approach to quantum mechanics of large systems we review the basic mathematical aspects of the algebras of unbounded operators. After that we discuss in some details their relevance in physical applications.
Designed Examples as Mediating Tools: Introductory Algebra in Two Norwegian Grade 8 Classrooms
2019
A critical element in the introduction of algebra is to focus student attention on the basic ideas of algebraic reasoning including the use of concepts such as variable and algebraic expression. In the Norwegian classrooms, representing a student-centered instructional philosophy, the teachers utilized examples and problems that they themselves had designed, and the examples involved resources such as concrete objects and body movements in order to make algebra accessible to students. When designing these examples, teachers thus used their own previous experiences of teaching algebra in an attempt to articulate the passage from arithmetic to algebra.
Applications of the Connection between Approximation Theory and Algebra
2009
The aim of this paper is to illustrate a possibility of obtaining various theoretical results using the connection between multivariate interpolation and reduction process with respect to a H-basis of an ideal. Using this connection we can switch between interpolation theory and the theory of ideals. As a application of this connection, we found and proved an interesting identity, which is satisfied for all polynomials in d variables from an interpolation polynomial subspace.
Properties of Generalized Polynomial Spaces in Three Variables
2009
Multivariate interpolation is a topic which often appears in practical modeling problems. Different type of spaces of functions are used for solving interpolation problems. When the interpolation conditions are of different kind, by example, spacial and temporal, one possibility for modeling the problem is to use a generalize degree, in which the monomials exponents are weighted with a weight vector with integer components. In order to use such a generalize polynomial space as interpolation space, it is necessary to know the dimension and a basis of it. The aim of this article is to study and prove many properties of the generalize polynomial spaces in three variables.
One-loop integrals with XLOOPS-GiNaC
2001
We present a new algorithm for the reduction of one-loop tensor Feynman integrals within the framework of the XLOOPS project, covering both mathematical and programming aspects. The new algorithm supplies a clean way to reduce the one-loop one-, two- and three-point Feynman integrals with arbitrary tensor rank and powers of the propagators to a basis of simple integrals. We also present a new method of coding XLOOPS in C++ using the GiNaC library.
Partial {$*$}-algebras of closable operators. II. States and representations of partial {$*$}-algebras
1991
This second paper on partial Op*-algebras is devoted to the theory of representations. A new definition of invariant positive sesquilinear forms on partial *-algebras is proposed, which enables to perform the familiar GNS construction. In order to get a better control of the corresponding representations, we introduce and study a restricted class of partial Op*-algebras, called partial GW*-algebras, which turn up naturally in a number of problems. As an example, we extend Powers' results about the standardness of GNS representations of abelian partial *-algebras.
Some Problems on Homomorphisms and Real Function Algebras
2001
In this paper we solve a problem about the representation of all homomorphisms on a real function algebra as point evaluations and another two about function algebras in which homomorphisms are point evaluations on sequences in the algebra.
Vectors, Tensors, Manifolds and Special Relativity
2015
Assuming that the reader is familiar with the notion of vectors, within a few pages, with a few examples, the reader will get to be familiar with the generic picture of tensors. With the specific notions given in this chapter, the reader will be able to understand more advanced tensor courses with no further effort. The transition between tensor algebra and tensor calculus is done naturally with a very familiar example. The notion of manifold and a few basic key aspects on Special Relativity are also presented.
