Anti-Inflammatory and Immunosuppressive Drugs and Reproduction
(Biomed Central, 2006-05-11)
Rheumatic diseases in women of childbearing years may necessitate drug treatment during a pregnancy, to control maternal disease activity and to ensure a successful pregnancy outcome. This survey is based on a consensus ...
Mergers in Durable Goods Industries
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2004)
This paper is concerned with the study of durability as an aspect of competition and market structure that contributes to determining the incentives for mergers. We find that relative to the incentives in industries that ...
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 ...
Equivalent Conicity and Curve Radius Influence on Dynamical Performance of Unconventional Bogies. Comparison Analysis
(Taylor and Francis, 2004)
In this paper the dynamic behaviour of several unconventional bogies is compared. The study takes into account the radius of the curve and the maximum level of wear allowed to the wheels. Ranges of conicities and curve ...
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 ...
A Review of Estimation of Distribution Algorithms in Bioinformatics
(Biomed Central, 2008-09-11)
Evolutionary search algorithms have become an essential asset in the algorithmic toolbox for solving high-dimensional optimization problems in across a broad range of bioinformatics problems. Genetic algorithms, the most ...
Cohomologically Kähler manifolds with no Kähler metrics
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2003)
We show some examples of compact symplectic solvmanifolds, of
dimension greater than four, which are cohomologically
Kähler and do not admit Kähler metric since their
fundamental groups cannot be the fundamental group ...
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 ...
