PURPOSE To evaluate the pharmacokinetics and tissue disposition of macromolecular camptothecin (CPT) drug conjugate, XMT-1001, and irinotecan (CPT-11) in mice bearing HT-29 xenograft tumors. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The antitumor efficacy of XMT-1001 was evaluated in the mouse HT-29 human colon carcinoma xenograft model. XMT-1001 was administered intravenously to female athymic nude (nu/nu) mice b...

Drama managers reconfigure a game in reaction to a player’s actions. In declarative optimization-based drama management (DODM), a game’s story is abstracted as a sequence of plot points; possible drama manager interventions are abstracted as a set of DM actions. The author defines an function evaluating story quality, and some optimization method (currently reinforcement learning) chooses DM ac...

In this paper we investigate whether a personality profile can be determined by observing a player’s behavior in a game. Five personality traits are used to define a personality profile. They are adopted from the Five Factor Model of personality. The five traits are measured by the NEO-PI-R questionnaire. For our purpose, we developed a game module for the game Neverwinter Nights. The module au...
