This paper describes a CBR application in manufacturing industry, a domain where CBR has by and large proved its applicability and success. The paper details a thorough understanding of the field of fused cast manufacturing basically seen from the perspective of glass furnace, where quality of glass produced is straightaway related to the refractory blocks used in furnace linings. The applicabi...

While Case-based reasoning (CBR) has successfully been deployed on the Web, its data models are typically inconsistent with existing information infrastructure and standards. In this paper, we examine how CBR can operate on the emerging Web of Data, with mutual benefits. The expense of knowledge engineering and curating a case base can be reduced by using Linked Data from the Web of Data. While...

This paper reviews a large number of CBR systems to determine when and what sort of adaptation is currently used. Three taxonomies are proposed: an adaptation-relevant taxonomy of CBR systems, a taxonomy of the tasks performed by CBR systems and a taxonomy of adaptation knowledge. To the extent that. the set of existing systems reflects constraints on what is feasible, this review shows interes...

Geosynthetics (GSN) are polymeric products used in Geotechnical Engineering for the purpose of improving properties insitu soil. In this project, experimental work was carried out to determine influence presence fines within granular soil on CBR strength reinforced with different GSN (Woven geotextile, Non-woven Geogrid and Geonet). Two types disturbed state containing varying percentage were s...

Community-based research (CBR) has become central to the understanding and elimination of health disparities within the USA and across the globe. The authors sought to determine the perspectives of health professional faculty on the factors affecting their involvement in CBR and the extent of community participation in that research. Faculty from 18 health professional schools in the USA identi...

Candy bar-like protein supplements are sometimes consumed for their sugar alcohol content, which lowers the glycemic response. The purpose of this study was to determine the acute glycemic and blood lipid response to the ingestion of a candy bar-like protein supplement compared with its candy bar counterpart. In a crossover design, 5 males and 5 females (N = 10; age, 24 ± 5.5 years; height, 174...

Case-based reasoning is the technique of solving new problems by adapting solutions that were used to solve old problems. This reliance on previous experiences (or cases) is a hallmark of case-based reasoning. Each case can contain a great deal of information including a description of the situation that was encountered, ways in which the situation di ered from similar situations, and how the s...

We have characterized the immunobiology of the interaction of intercellular adhesion molecule 3 (ICAM-3; CD50) with its counter-receptor, leukocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1; CD11a/CD18). Purified ICAM-3 supported LFA-1-dependent adhesion in a temperature- and cation-dependent manner. Activation of cells bearing LFA-1 increased adhesiveness for ICAM-3 in parallel to adhesiveness for ...

In theories and models of computational intelligence, cognition and action have historically been investigated on separate grounds. We conjecture that the main mechanism of case-based reasoning (CBR) applies to cognitive tasks at various levels and of various granularity, and hence can represent a bridge or a continuum between the higher and lower levels of cognition. CBR is an artificial intel...

Rifamycins have proven efficacy in the treatment of persistent bacterial infections. However, the frequency with which bacteria develop resistance to rifamycin agents restricts their clinical use to antibiotic combination regimens. In a program directed toward the synthesis of rifamycins with a lower propensity to elicit resistance development, a series of compounds were prepared that covalentl...
