Characteristics of chronic intestinal failure in the USA based on analysis of claims data

Published in Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 2022

This study investigated the prevalence, characteristics, and management of patients with chronic intestinal failure (CIF) in the United States in 2012–2020, based on parenteral support (PS) prescription claims and healthcare utilization.

Deconfusing intensity maps with neural networks

Preprint on arXiv, 2019

In this work we present the first application of using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to directly determine the underlying luminosity function of a LIM, including a treatment of extragalactic foregrounds and instrumental noise.

Tidal disruption events as UHECR sources

Published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016

We consider the possibility that tidal disruption events (TDEs) caused by supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in nearby galaxies can account for the ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray (UHECR) hotspot reported recently by the Telescope Array (TA) and the warm spot by Pierre Auger Observatory.
