Electronic business : a business model can make the difference (2006)
Journal Article
Owens, J. D. (2006). Electronic business : a business model can make the difference. Management services (Enfield), 50(1), 24-29

Conducting business electronically, electronic commerce has such well-documented advantages that if a business does not engage in doing so one must question the wisdom of management. The major growth in this transition will be from established ‘bric... Read More about Electronic business : a business model can make the difference.

Selective entrance of gold nanoparticles into cancer cells (2006)
Journal Article
Krpetic, Z., Porta, F., & Scarì, G. (2006). Selective entrance of gold nanoparticles into cancer cells. Gold Bulletin, 39(2), 66-68. https://doi.org/10.1007/BF03215278

We report that Au(0) nanoparticles, stabilized by 5-aminovaleric acid, selectively penetrate into K562 cancer cells in a short time. These experiments were carried out in order to verify the specific recognition of gold sol by abnormal cells. The obs... Read More about Selective entrance of gold nanoparticles into cancer cells.

A new discrete particle swarm algorithm applied to attribute selection in a bioinformatics data set (2006)
Book Chapter
Correa, E., Freitas, A., & Johnson, C. (2006). A new discrete particle swarm algorithm applied to attribute selection in a bioinformatics data set. In Proceedings of the 8th annual conference on Genetic and evolutionary computation - GECCO '06 (35). ACM Digital Library. https://doi.org/10.1145/1143997.1144003

Many data mining applications involve the task of building a model for predictive classification. The goal of such a model is to classify examples (records or data instances) into classes or categories of the same type. The use of variables (attribut...
