PURPOSE The number of patients waiting for kidney transplantation is incessantly increasing, but the number of cadaveric kidney transplantations or ABO-compatible donors is so insufficient that ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation is being performed as an alternative. There are overseas studies and research showing that the 5-year survival rate and 5-year graft survival rate of ABO-incompati...

Recent research indicates that practicing on a joint spatial compatibility task with an incompatible stimulus-response mapping affects subsequent joint Simon task performance, eliminating the social Simon effect. It has been well established that in individual contexts, for transfer of learning to occur, participants need to practice an incompatible association between stimulus and response pos...

This paper addresses the question why standard-compliant IT products often do not interoperate. The findings are based on an institutional analysis, three case studies, and a debate among experts. The paper concludes that some dilemmas cannot be resolved easily. However, many causes can be addressed, in particular those in the area of standard development. Where interoperability is concerned, s...

We consider scheduling problems in a multiprocessor system with incompatible jobs (two incompatible jobs cannot be processed by the same machine). We consider the problem to minimize the maximum job completion time. the makespan. This problem is NP-complete. We present a number of polynomial time approximation algorithms for this problem where the job incompatibilities possess a special structu...

In 3 of 15 consecutive patients receiving a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical but major ABO incompatible bone marrow transplant (BMT), pure red cell aplasia (PRA) lasting 5 to 8 months was observed. Titers of the incompatible anti-A agglutinin before infusion of the red blood cell (RBC)-depleted BMT was very high in one, and in the usual range in two patients. Decrease of agglutinin titer...
