CT-P13 is an infliximab biosimilar approved for indications including ankylosing spondylitis (AS); the approved maintenance regimen is 5 mg/kg infused every 6–8 weeks. In clinical practice, modifications to infliximab dose and/or infusion interval ca...
It is known that in pathological conditions, physiological systems develop changes in the multiscale properties of physiological signals. However, in real life, little is known about how changes in the function of one of the two coupled physiological...
To address the impacts of future land changes on biodiversity and ecosystem services, land-use scenarios have been developed at the national scale in Japan. However, the validation of land-use scenarios remains a challenge owing to the lack of an app...
For the first time, the power law characteristics of stock price jump intervals have been empirically found generally in stock markets. The classical jump-diffusion model is described as the jump-diffusion model with power law (JDMPL). An artificial...
In this study, land use/cover change was systematically investigated in the Qeshm Island to understand how human and nature interact in the largest island of Persian Gulf. Land-use maps were prepared for 1996, 2002, 2008, and 2014 using Landsat satel...
Cleaner production is certainly a challenge of our everyday life, and a lot of effort and energy is required to achieve it. This paper has created a model of five strategies for cleaner production in Libyan industry, which have been evaluated on the...
