In cooperative games, the core is one of the most popular solution concept since it ensures coalitional rationality. For non-balanced games however, the core is empty, and other solution concepts have to be found. We propose the use of general solutions, that is, to distribute the total worth of the game among groups rather than among individuals. In particular, the k-additive core proposed by ...

We previously reported the cellular, functional and cytogenetic characterization of immunoresistant (IR) 13-06-IR29 and 13-06-IR30 human glioma cell clones isolated after immunoselection with alloreactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes (aCTL). Relative to the 13-06-MG parental cells, both clones resisted aCTL lysis at multiple effector to target ratios; the resistant phenotype was maintained for 13-41...

A cDNA (pBIFl1) clone corresponding to the complete “10-kD precursor polypeptide associated with the PSII was isolated from the inflorescence cDNA library of Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. spp. pekinesis). The nucleotide sequence was determined using the dideoxynucleotide chain-termination method (Sanger et al., 1977) and the amino acid sequence was deduced (Table I). The cDNA i s comp...

In this morphology “glossary” are found examples of many of the items discussed in the body of this book. The collection was originally assembled for the Interamerican Division Regional Update in Leukemia course in Puebla, Mexico (Dr. G.J. Ruiz-Argüelles and Dr. E. Torré-Lopez). It has subsequently been used in Ankara, Turkey (Dr. E. Kansu) and Cordoba, Argentina (Dr. C. Ponzinibbio). Developme...

BACKGROUND We aimed to evaluate whether area under the curve (AUC) analysis of pharmacodynamic data can be used to compare pharmacokinetic models taken from the literature, during a target controlled infusion (TCI) of rocuronium. METHODS Seventy-two patients scheduled for orthopaedic surgery received a TCI of rocuronium (Stanpump) based on one of four pharmacokinetic models: those described b...

A central question for any model of visual word identification is the representation of the position at which letters are encoded (e.g., calm vs. clam). In this article, we examine whether the orthographic-specific characteristics of a writing system-namely, Thai-shape the process of letter position coding. Thai is an alphabetic script that lacks interword spaces and has an orthographic order t...
