Several investigations have been done on agents which can take their own decisions as per requirement or data entered by end user in Decision Support System. This paper explains an intelligent software agent framework designed for DSS. Software Agents have been proclaimed as fast growing area of Information Technology of the last two decades. Many software companies are keenly trying to incorpo...

Psychological well-being benefits of receiving social support are well-established. Growing evidence also suggests parallel benefits of giving support. However, much less attention has been given to understanding the psychological correlates of imbalance in giving and receiving social support. We examined associations between social support (given, received, and imbalance) and psychological wel...

Alchemical free energy perturbation (FEP) theory is widely used nowadays to calculate protein–ligand binding energies, often in support of drug discovery endeavours. We assess the accuracy and sensitivity absolute FEP energies with respect CHARMM/CGenFF AMBER/GAFF force field parameterisations for a set tetrahydroquinoline inhibitors first bromodomain BRD4, target keen interest development anti...

People have a keen ability to reason about others’ mental states, which is central for communication and cooperation. A core question for cognitive science is what mental representations support this ability. We offer one proposal based on the framework of influence diagrams, an extension of Bayes nets that is suited for representing intentional goal-directed agents. We evaluate this framework ...

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an intensive therapy that is being used increasingly in an attempt to cure certain malignancies. One of the major adverse effects of this treatment is an inadequate oral intake that may result in dehydration and malnutrition. Factors that may contribute to inadequate oral intake include mucositis, nausea, vomiting, and anorexia. In addition, pri...

Indeed we read their case [3] with keen interest, along with the experience ofothers who have similarly documented treatment of pacemaker/device pocket infection with a variety of lead-preserving techniques, which mostl...

et al., 1981), a value similar to that for the proteinase solubilized from myelin membranes. When the metalloproteinase activity from myelin membranes is purified to homogeneity it can be compared more accurately with meprin and endopeptidase 24.1 5. In addition, antibodies against this proteinase should permit immunoelectron microscopy to pinpoint its subcellular localization in the nervous sy...
