Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Treg Cells in the Cancer Immunological ResponseZhi-Zhang Yang, Stephen M. AnsellProblem statement: T cell-mediated immunosuppression has been observed for decades without clarification as to which factor was responsible for this observation. The identification of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells represents a milestone in the filed of immunology and provides an explanation for T-cell-mediated immunosuppression. Although Treg cells were originally identified for their ability to prevent organ-specific autoimmune disease in mice, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,524 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRule Extraction from Radial Basis Functional Neural Networks by Using Particle Swarm OptimizationM. R. Senapati, I. Vijaya, P. K. DashRadial basis functional neural networks (RBFNN) provide an outstanding possibility for generating rules for solving pattern classification problems. One of the most important factors in RBFNN is finding out the center and spread. This paper examines rules extracted from RBF networks trained by Particle swarm Optimization (PSO). The selection of the RBFNN centers, spreads and the network weights can be … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 6,791 accessesView PDFCite
