Phytochemicals in Cancer Prevention and Therapy: Truth or Dare?

A voluminous literature suggests that an increase in consumption of fruit and vegetables is a relatively easy and practical strategy to reduce significantly the incidence of cancer. The beneficial effect is mostly associated with the presence of phytochemicals in the diet.

\truth" or \dare" for an Agent to Meet the Real World

This work explores the beneets of using user models for plan recognition problems in a real-world application. Interface agents are designed for the prediction of resource usage in the UNIX domain using a stochastic approach to automatically acquire regularities of user behavior. Both sequential information from the command sequence and relational information such as system's responses and argu...
