Eigenfunction expansion of the time and space-dependent neutron survival probability equation
… a particular quantity of interest, the neutron survival probability. Using these solutions, the behavior of the survival probability is characterized throughout a wide range of parameters to better inform expectations as the complexity of the problem is increased. First, the survival probability …

Recruitment of the intertidal barnacle Semibalanus balanoides ; metamorphosis and survival from daily to seasonal timescales
… for recruitment can in large part determine the survival probability for settlers, a trend that is most pronounced for low or no survival when the settlement substrate is saturated by conspecifics from a recruitment cohort. Preemption is caused by the presence of current occupants from a recruit …

The 5 year outcomes of patients receiving haemodialysis versus peritoneal dialysis at Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa
… for transplantation. Few studies exist comparing survival outcomes of peritoneal dialysis [PD] and haemodialysis [HD] patients from developing countries. In addition, data of those switching to HD are conflicting. Methods: This retrospective cohort study compares survival outcomes of patients …

Exploring potential inhibitors of the HGF-Met signalling pathway as a prospective treatment for paediatric medulloblastoma
… in order to identify patient characteristics and survival probability linked to high Met expression such as age, gender and sub-group of disease. The SHH medulloblastoma sub-group was found to express the highest average level of Met expression in patients of each medulloblastoma subgroup yet …

Three essays on financial economics
… consequences for firms' real outcomes and survival probability. A firm with direct and indirect access to government credit (through its customers or suppliers) observed a 12.5% greater survival probability, vis-`a-vis 4% when the firm has only direct access. Critically, we uncover …

RNA EDITING INDEPENDENT FUNCTIONS OF ADENOSINE DEAMINASES ACTING ON DOUBLE-STRANDED RNA IN HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA
… METTL7A EXPRESSION WERE PREDICTED TO HAVE POORER SURVIVAL PROBABILITY. MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE REVEALED THAT ADARS SUPPRESSED METTL7A EXPRESSION INDEPENDENT OF THEIR RNA EDITING ACTIVITIES BY INTERACTING WITH DICER, WHICH PROMOTES THE EXPRESSION OF MIR-27A THAT

High Angular Momentum Rydberg Wave Packets
… and go out of phase with each other. Monitoring survival probability signals in the presence of position dependent probing leads to observation of characteristic oscillations based on the composition of the wave packet. The discrete nature of electron energy levels is observed through the …

Measurements of Dijet Cross Sections in Diffractive Photoproduction and Deep-Inelastic Scattering at HERA
… with QCD and Regge factorisation. The gap survival probability in diffractive dijet photoproduction relative to the same process in DIS is determined to be 0.89+-0.15. This suppression is the same for direct and resolved photon processes.

Power and Pressure: Frailty as a Measure of Cumulative Stress Among Ancient Maya Royals from Belize
… biomarkers present is associated with higher survival probability. These results suggest that the royals, despite having access to food and resources, were not completely buffered from the accumulation of physiological stressors. However, no individual expressed a high frailty index, …

The Rationale, Design and Implementation of the African Cardiomyopathy and Myocarditis Registry
… been reported internationally. Transplant-free survival probability at 1-year, 5-years and 10-years was 98.5%, 90.7%, and 80.8% respectively in ARVC (median survival time 9.0 years) and there were no significant differences in survival between those with and without implantable cardioverter …

Can cied-derived physical activity provide as a biomarker to predict all-cause-mortality? validation of previous predictive modelling approaches.
… mortality with low PA having higher risk of survival probability in univariate and multivariate analysis (p<0.001) when stratified by baseline PA levels. Predictive modelling approaches scored modest discrimination in univariate analysis (C-index = 0.65), good to excellent in multivariate cox …
