T cell mediated combination immunotherapy
… existing immunotherapies, and designing new combinations of immunotherapies is still critical in the fight against cancer. Although there have been ongoing successes of individual immunotherapies in the clinic, the complexity and interdependence of the immune system suggests that any single …

Model combination by decomposition and aggregation
… problem in statistical modeling, namely model combination. It proposes a novel feature-based model combination method to improve model accuracy and reduce model uncertainty. In this method, a set of candidate models are first decomposed into a group of components or features and then components …

Forecast combination in revenue management demand forecasting.
The domain of multi level forecast combination is a challenging new domain containing a large potential for forecast improvements. This thesis presents a theoretical and experimental analysis of different types of forecast diversification on forecast error covariances and resulting combined …

Nelson Oppen combination as a rewrite theory
… typically use refinements of the Nelson-Oppen combination method, an algorithm for producing a solver for the quantifier free fragment of the combination of a number of such theories via cooperation between solvers of those theories, for this case. Here, we present the Nelson-Oppen algorithm …

Mechanism of anaesthetic activation, combination and antagonism
The type A γ-aminobutyric acid receptors (GABAAR) – pentameric ligand gated ion channels (pLGICs) – are the main mediators of fast inhibitory neurotransmission in the human brain. Malfunctions in these receptors are a common cause for neurological disorders such as anxiety, epilepsy, schizophrenia …

A comparative study of children enrolled in combination classes and non-combination classes in Fairfax County, Virginia public schools
… experimental group of 1,068 students enrolled in combination or split/grade classes is compared with a control group of 1,743 students enrolled in regular graded classes. Five research questions were developed, three of which related directly to grade level student scholastic achievement by …

Multiple classifier combination through ensembles and data generation
This thesis introduces new approaches, namely the DataBoost and DataBoost-IM algorithms, to extend Boosting algorithms' predictive performance. The DataBoost algorithm is designed to assist Boosting algorithms to avoid over-emphasizing hard examples. In the DataBoost algorithm, new synthetic data …

A novel nanodelivery system for combination tumor therapy
Anti-angiogenic therapy offers many benefits over traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy including fewer toxic side effects and the reduced development of drug resistance. Anti-angiogenics alone have not proven effective in inducing tumor regression in the clinic due to both the cytostatic nature of …

The Unreasonable Usefulness of Approximation by Linear Combination
Through the exploitation of data-sparsity ---a catch all term for savings gained from a variety of approximations--- it is possible to reduce the computational cost of accurate electronic structure calculations to linear. Meaning, that the total time to solution for the calculation grows at the …

Combination Therapy For the Treatment of Human Malignant Neuroblastoma
… malignant neuroblastoma. The concept of using `combination therapy' for treatment of cancer has gained considerable interest in recent years, where two or more anti-cancer drugs acting with different molecular mechanisms can be employed at suboptimal doses to control the tumor growth. The major …

Multistage neural network ensemble: adaptive combination of ensemble results
… those achieved by any single classifier. Common combination strategies used to combine the results of individual ensemble members are simple averaging, weighted averaging, majorities voting and ranking. These are catalogued as static combination schemes, which require no prior training. One …

Ensemble of binary classifiers: combination techniques and design issues
In this thesis the problem of the combination of binary classifiers ensamble is faced. For each pattern a binary classifier (or binary expert) assigns a similarity score, and according to a decision threshold a class is assigned to the pattern (i.e., if the score is higher than the threshold the …
