Due to the antitumor activity of Gallium MAL complex, as well as recent findings on new targeted biomolecules in malignant cells through this complex, the development of radiolabeled gallium complex for future imaging studies was targeted. Ga-67 labeled 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-onate (Ga-67 MAL) was prepared using freshly prepared Ga-67 chloride and 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4H-pyran-4-onate in a...

This paper studies a sequential bargaining model in which agents expend efforts to be the proposer. In equilibrium, agents' effort choices are influenced by the prize and cost effects. The (endogenous) prize is the difference between the residual surplus an agent obtains when he is the proposer and the payment he expects to receive when he is not. Main results include: (1) under the unanimity v...

Intelligent agents assisting users with repetitive tasks learn how these users perform these tasks and then they help users by making suggestions and, sometimes, by executing tasks on behalf of the users. Making queries to a relational database system is a repetitive and time-consuming task in which intelligent agents can be very helpful. In this work we present QueryGuesser, an intelligent age...

At first glance, this does not look like the kind of book which would help cognitive science researchers, as Ralph Ellis is Professor of Philosophy at Clark Atlanta University and has written mainly on consciousness, affect, motivation and thinking. But Ellis’ long-term interest in the philosophy of mind makes his observations refreshingly different. He emphasises a viewpoint and approach that ...

before an outstanding article in 1999 by richard holton, weakness of will was identified as an agent's action contrary to his or her better judgment, while other better choices are available. the contemporary account of weakness of will (i.e., holton’s theory) explains it in terms of intention. accordingly, weakness of will happens if an agent fails to stick to his or her previously formed inte...

This paper studies how a principal motivates an uninformed agent to learn about, and reveal, his quality through private experiments. The principal commits to a reward scheme and she aims to assign the rewards to correspond as closely as possible to the quality of the agent. To get a high reward, the agent experiments privately and discloses the results selectively. I show that the optimal rewa...
