Residency Selection: Making a Match

The match - making

This paper discusses a cryptographic protocol to evaluate an and-gate such that a party can keep his input bit secret from the other party. Such a protocol is of interest, because it can be generalized to any logical circuit for any number of participants. A formal statement of this generalization reads as follows: n participants want to compute together a function f(x1; x2; :::; xn) with xi be...

Match-Making in Bartering Scenarios

This thesis extends tree similarity based match-making from the buyer/seller situation to a scenario of bilateral bartering and multi-agent ring bartering. It is built on top of the AgentMatcher tree similarity algorithm for node-labelled, arc-labelled, arc-weighted trees. A representation of these trees in a multi-dimensional space is developed to allow efficient indexing and pruning in large ...

Match-making for posaconazole through systems thinking.

Currently available drugs for Chagas' disease are limited by toxicity and low efficacy in the chronic stage. Posaconazole, the most advanced new anti-chagasic drug candidate, did not fully confirm its initial potential in a Phase II clinical trial for chronic Chagas' disease. Given that posaconazole is highly active against Trypanosoma cruzi in vitro, and was very well tolerated in clinical tri...

Can We Build a Match-Making Machine Out of Matches?

This poster is an invitation to a free discussion on the limitations of the mind in its capability to understand itself and other minds. It poses some questions, presents examples and makes suggestions, in the hope to attract some comments and feedback from the readers. It does not attempt to solidly defend any theory or hypothesis. Readers are welcome to make challenging comments. Note: Terms ...
