Among brain tumors, glioblastoma multiforme appears as one of the most aggressive forms of cancer with poor prognosis and no curative treatment available. Recently, a new kind of radio-chemotherapy has been developed using synchrotron irradiation for the photoactivation of molecules with high-Z elements such as cisplatin (PAT-Plat). This protocol showed a cure of 33% of rats bearing the F98 gli...

C irculating levels of tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) are correlated with risk of incident cardiovascu-lar disease (CVD) among individuals with clinical athero-sclerosis and in the general population, but a simple causal interpretation of this association belies epidemiological and regulatory complexity (eg, Ref. 1 and references therein). tPA, encoded by the PLAT gene, is an enzyme th...

The purpose of this research is to: 1) synthesize documents and international intelligent interactive learning platforms for seamless ecosystems to enhance citizens’ lifelong digital 2) design an intelli-gent platform a ecosystem en-hance 3) assess the suitability ecosystem. Ten experts were selected. They had have more than five years relevant experience in field consisting expertise System. A...

When labeling objects via Internet-based outsourcing systems, the labelers may have bias, because they lack expertise, dedication and personal preference. These reasons cause Imbalanced Multiple Noisy Labeling. To deal with the imbalance labeling issue, we propose an agnostic algorithm PLAT (Positive LAbel frequency Threshold) which does not need any information about quality of labelers and un...

In this paper we present experiences from adding soft ware mobility to mobile hand held computers In par ticular we have built TACOMA Lite a mobile code system for this environment With TACOMA Lite installed hand held computers can host and execute mobile code TACOMA Lite has been used as plat form for several mobile code applications Through experience with these applications we have derived a...

With the advent of Web technology, the intelligent systems need to be web-based so that the decision makers and users can access and use them using machines supporting browsers. Web-based Internet and Internet environment facilitates development of centralized decision-making solutions. Instead of solving a problem using a single intelligent technique like expert system, neural network, case-ba...

This paper presents the collaborative distance learning system SIC’ED embedding concepts that are essential for collaborative learning and group interaction over the web. We are developing tools particularly tailored to address the needs of students. SIC’ED is intended to be a flexible education or auto-education plat-form and defines an educative server to which several tools are being progres...
