Importance Sampling for Objetive Funtion Estimations in Neural Detector Traing Driven by Genetic Algorithms [PDF]
To train Neural Networks (NNs) in a supervised way, estimations of an objective function must be carried out. The value of this function decreases as the training progresses and so, the number of test observations necessary for an accurate estimation has

Tumor angiogenesis and anti-angiogenic therapy in malignant gliomas revisited [PDF]
The cellular and molecular mechanisms of tumor angiogenesis and its prospects for anti-angiogenic cancer therapy are major issues in almost all current concepts of both cancer biology and targeted cancer therapy. Currently, (1) sprouting angiogenesis, (2)

The Impact of Monetary and Commodity Fundamentals, Macro News and Central Bank Communication on the Exchange Rate: Evidence from South Africa [PDF]
This paper studies drivers of high-frequency (daily) dynamics of the South African rand vis-à-vis the dollar from January 2001 to July 2007. We find strong nonlinear effects of commodity prices, perceived country and emerging market risk premium and ...

Human Verbal Memory Encoding Is Hierarchically Distributed in a Continuous Processing Stream. [PDF]
Processing of memory is supported by coordinated activity in a network of sensory, association, and motor brain regions. It remains a major challenge to determine where memory is encoded for later retrieval.

Do pharmacokinetic polymorphisms explain treatment failure in high-risk patients with neuroblastoma? [PDF]
Purpose Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumour in childhood. It accounts for 15% of all paediatric oncology deaths. In the last few decades, improvement in treatment outcome for high-risk patients has not occurred, with an overall ...
