In advanced melanoma of the limbs with in-transit metastasis, melphalan with isolated limb perfusion (M-ILP) produces around 50% complete remissions (CR). The combination of melphalan with tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) and interferon-gamma (IFNgamma) in isolated limb perfusion (TIM-ILP) gives around 80% CR. A prospective randomised phase II study compared 32 patients who received TIM-...

It is well known by Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) practioners that ILP systems usually take a long time to find valuable models (theories). The problem is specially critical for large datasets, preventing ILP systems to scale up to larger applications. One approach to reduce the execution time has been the parallelization of ILP systems. In this paper we overview the state-of-the-art on par...

Learners’ language has been described as transitional competence (Corder, 1967) and interlanguage (Selinker, 1972), and it has been categorized as a natural language (Adjemian, 1976). This indicates that learners possess their own languages. However, the question remains whether or not learners’ language has been explained and understood on its own, and not merely compared to target-language (T...

A certain group of English verbs, the ergatives, is consistently mis-passivized in Chinese-speakers' interlanguage. Comparison of the ergative construction in Chinese and English shows that they share similar properties. However, this does not seem to facilitate learning of the target English construction. Furthermore, the passive ergatives are not attributable to exemplification in either the ...
