This paper presents a parallel surrogate-based global optimization method for computationally expensive objective functions that is more effective for larger numbers of processors. To reach this goal, we integrated concepts from multi-objective optimization and tabu search into, single objective, surrogate optimization. Our proposed derivative-free algorithm, called SOP, uses non-dominated sort...

Background: To study the role of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition by Ecadherin and vimentin expression in precancerous and cancerous lesions of oral cavity and oropharynx and to predict invasiveness by the specific pattern of E-cadherin and vimentin expression. Methods: Biopsies/ specimens of oral cavity and oropharynx were evaluated for all premalignant lesions and invasive epithelial squa...

1. Oestradiol-17beta induces livers of Xenopus laevis (South African clawed toad) to synthesize and secrete into the serum large quantities of the egg-yolk-protein precursor, vitellogenin. The peak of this response occurs 9-16 days after hormone treatment [Dolphin, Ansari, Lazier, Munday & Akhtar (1971) Biochem. J.124, 751-758]. It is now shown that 6 days after hormone treatment a 120-160-fold...
