ROC analysis revealed that the rCBVs in habitats had great ability to discriminate IDH mutation from their wild type in all groups. In addition, the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis yielded significant differences for the survival times observed from the populations dichotomized by low ( 4.31) rCBV in the low-angiogenic enhancing tumor habitat. C…[Read more]

The results highlight the importance of exponential parameterizations and separability in general, as seen, in particular, for the TDEVCC bra parameterization, which is in contrast to the partially linear one of TDVCC. With the results being rooted in the general structures of coupled cluster (CC) theory, they are expected to be relevant to other…[Read more]
