Research into Web cost estimation is relatively new where few studies have compared cost estimation modelling techniques for Web development, with an emphasis placed on techniques such as Case-based Reasoning (CBR), linear and stepwise regression. Although in a large subset of these studies CBR has given the best predictions, results were based on a simple type of CBR, where no adaptation rules...

PURPOSE The use of carfilzomib/pomalidomide single-agent or in combination with other agents in patients with refractory/relapsed multiple myeloma (RRMM) was not clearly clarified in clinical practice. We sought to compile the available clinical reports to better understand the efficacy and safety of carfilzomib (CFZ) and pomalidomide (POM). RESULTS Based on our research criteria, we identifi...

In this paper we explore the reuse of components of known good schedules in new scheduling problems. This involves accumulating a case-base of good quality schedules, retrieving a case (or cases) similar to a new scheduling problem and building a new schedule from components of the retrieved cases. We start by introducing the components of Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) and we describe a CBR soluti...

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 tax-onomy of the tasks performed by CBR systems and a taxonomy of adaptation knowledge. To the extent that the set of existing systems reeects constraints on what is feasible, this review shows interest...

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...

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...
