Abstract Background It has been reported that the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT signaling pathway regulates erythropoietin (EPO)-induced survival, proliferation, and maturation of early erythroid progenitors.Erythroid cell proliferation and survival have also been related to activation of the JAK-STAT pathway.The goal of this study was t
Biometric Quantization through Detection Rate Optimized Bit Allocation
suede-chinks-with-basketweave-accents Extracting binary strings from real-valued biometric templates is a fundamental step in many biometric template protection systems, such as fuzzy commitment, fuzzy extractor, secure sketch, and helper data systems.Previous work has been focusing on the design of optimal quantization and coding for each single f
Cluster detection in laboratory auction data: A model-based approach
The benchmark risk-averse equilibrium model does not explain some of the outcomes obtained in experiments with first-price auctions.Nonetheless, the presence of non-linear bidding and the wide dispersion of bids have received little attention in the literature.I Garment Steamer focus on these issues and revisit previous laboratory evidence with the
Discrimination as a predictor of poor mental health among LGBTQ+ people during the COVID-19 pandemic: cross-sectional analysis of the online Queerantine study
