Analysing Similarity in Examination Timetabling

In this paper we carry out an investigation of some of the major features of exam timetabling problems with a view to developing a similarity measure. This similarity measure will be used within a casebased reasoning (CBR) system to match a new problem with one from a case-base of previously solved problems. The case base will also store the heuristic or meta-heuristic technique(s) applied most...

Fundamental Questions in Biology

The anti-tumour antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) capacity of the conventional antibody ml7-IA was compared with its chimerised analogue c17-lA and a newer chimeric antibody. cSF25. specific for colonic adenocarcinoma. The results (AUC units±s.e.m.. control versus cancer) show that mononuclear cells from patients with adenocarcinoma mediate ADCC as efficiently as those from c...
