Phase transition properties of clustered travelling salesman problem instances generated with evolutionary computation. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
van Hemert, J. I., & Urquhart, N. B. (2004). Phase transition properties of clustered travelling salesman problem instances generated with evolutionary computation.

We introduce a generator that creates problem instances for the Euclidean symmetric travelling salesman problem. To fit real world problems, we look at maps consisting of clustered nodes. Uniform random sampling methods do not result in maps where th...

Antiinflammatory Steroid Action in Human Ovarian Surface Epithelial Cells (2004)
Journal Article
Hillier, S. G., Rae, M. T., Niven, D., Critchley, H. O. D., & Harlow, C. R. (2004). Antiinflammatory Steroid Action in Human Ovarian Surface Epithelial Cells. Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 89(9), 4538-4544. https://doi.org/10.1210/jc.2003-032225

The human ovarian surface epithelium (OSE) is subject to
serial injury and repair during ovulation, which is a natural inflammatory event. We asked whether there is a compensatory antiinflammatory component to this process, involving steroid hormone... Read More about Antiinflammatory Steroid Action in Human Ovarian Surface Epithelial Cells.
