Abacavir (ABC), a nucleoside-analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor, is associated with severe hypersensitivity reactions that are thought to involve the activation of CD8+ T cells in a HLA-B*57:01-restricted manner. Recent studies have claimed that noncovalent interactions of ABC with HLA-B*57:01 are responsible for the immunological reactions associated with ABC. However, the formation of h...

Since its creation in 2005 by D. Karaboga the ABC algorithm proved to be very effective in approaching a wide variety of research optimization problems. However, some drawbacks were also experienced related mainly to a poor exploitation capability (which makes the algorithm relatively slow) and poor success rates when highly non-linear optimization problems with unstructured modes are approache...

Background: Bedside ABC/2 methods of measuring intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) volumes are valuable clinical and research tools. The two most common methods of bedside calculation are the ABC/2 formula and the sABC/2 formula. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 142 consecutive spontaneous ICH patients admitted to our institution from November 1, 2009 to October 1, 2010. ICH volume was calculate...

This paper presents a new strategy based on Multi-stage Fuzzy (MSF) PID controller based on Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) for damping Power System Stabilizer (PSS) in multi-machine environment. The recent studies in artificial intelligence demonstrated that the ABC optimization is strong intelligent method in complicated stability problems. Also, finding the parameters of PID controller in power ...

This study assesses opportunities and benefits presented by enterprise resource planning (ERP) in terms of leveraging technology to improve the business of government in the City of El Paso, specifically with respect to activity based costing (ABC) within its ERP system. ABC and ERP, in tandem, can provide reasonably accurate and useful government services cost information for planning and deci...

The artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm has been a well-known swarm intelligence algorithm, which assimilates the cooperating behavior of bees when seeking for nectar sources. Aiming to improve the conventional ABC algorithm, we focus on the re-initialization phase. In this paper, an overall-degradation-oriented artificial bee colony (OD-ABC) algorithm is proposed, pursuing to fight against p...
