Isolation and characterisation of exosomes from human cancer cell lines and patient material. by Wang, Xiaohui.

“…Exosomes isolated from plasma of cancer patients also contained more exosomal proteins and showed elevated amounts of MHC class I, MHC class II, CD86, CD9 and CD81 when compared to healthy donors. Taken together, these results demonstrate that HS CEX and cancer PEX may have better immunostimulating abilities, thus highlighting their possible applications in cancer treatment by cross presenting exosomes carrying tumour peptide antigens to CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs).…”

An experimental investigation into inventory management policies at a service centre by Koh, Sze Yong.

“…However, this is a big challenge for the companies to come out with an effective inventory policy so that it can satisfy different customer classes with the minimum inventory cost. When the inventory reaches below critical level (rationing), the demand from lower priority customer classes is rejected (or to be backordered) as the inventory will be reserved to satisfy the demand from high priority customer classes. …”

Self-configurable memetic algorithm by Le, Minh Nghia

“…However, with so many population-based and individual-based procedures available for hybridizing, it is a tedious task, if not impossible, to design in advance an effective memetic algorithm for a given problem at hand. Furthermore, when high-fidelity analysis codes are used for evaluating design solutions in the optimization process, it is not uncommon for the single simulation process to take minutes, hours to days of supercomputer time to compute. …”
