Predictors of Major Infections in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
(Biomed Central, 2009-07-15)
Introduction Infections commonly complicate the course of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Our aim is to investigate the clinical predictors of major infections in patients with SLE.
Methods A nested case-control ...
Royalty Licensing
(2009-09)
A patent provides its holder the monopolist´s right to sell licenses that allow the use of new technology. Empirically, most of the patent licensing agreements that are observed include royalties, in particular per unit ...
Wheel-rail wear index prediction considering multiple contact patches
(Elsevier, 2009-06)
This paper shows a new wheel-rail contact model specially suited to obtain wear indexes between wheel and rail when the vehicle negotiates tight curves. The model presented in the paper enables introduction of the two ...
Influence of creep forces on the risk of derailment of railway vehicles
(Taylor & Francis, 2009)
The derailment mechanism in a railway vehicle is a complex mechanical phenomenon which has been, and still is, the subject of intense research activity due to the serious consequences it can entail. Since Nadal deduced his ...
MATEDA: A suite of EDA programs in Matlab
(2009)
This paper describes MATEDA-2.0, a suite of programs in Matlab for
estimation of distribution algorithms. The package allows the optimization of single and multi-objective problems with estimation of distribution
algorithms ...
A quantitative analysis of estimation of distribution algorithms based on Bayesian networks
(2009)
The successful application of estimation of distribution algorithms
(EDAs) to solve different kinds of problems has reinforced their candidature
as promising black-box optimization tools. However, their internal behavior
is ...
On the application of estimation of distribution algorithms to multi-marker tagging SNP selection
(2009)
This paper presents an algorithm for the automatic selection of a
minimal subset of tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using an estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA). The EDA stochastically searches the ...
Dynamic optimization of track components to minimize rail corrugation
(Elsevier, 2009-01)
In this paper, the influence on corrugation of the most significant track parameters has been examined. After this parametric study, the optimization of the track parameters to minimize the undulatory wear growth has been ...
Derived nominals from the nominal perspective
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2009)
Derived Nominals are considered to be the last stage in the nominalization scale. This scale includes a continuum of structures with both nominal and verbal characteristics, and derived nominals are the most nouny in it. ...
The inextricability of research and practice. Research on the penal mediation services of the Basque Country (2007-2009) : some reflections to foster debate on general findings and mysteries
(Instituto Vasco de Criminología, 2009)
The paper I present here is a re-elaboration of an unpublished communication
presented within the 2009 Summer Course
Towards Critical Restorative Justice
