CUMULATIVE SMALL EFFECT GENETIC MARKERS AND THE RISK OF COLORECTAL CANCER IN POLAND, ESTONIA, LITHUANIA, AND LATVIA

Cumulative Small Effect Genetic Markers and the Risk of Colorectal Cancer in Poland, Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia

The continued identification of new low-penetrance genetic variants for colorectal cancer (CRC) raises the question of their potential cumulative effect among compound carriers.We focused on 6 SNPs (rs380284, rs4464148, rs4779584, rs4939827, rs6983267, and rs10795668), already described as risk markers, and tested Carvin skimmer their possible inde

A Novel Particle Swarm Optimization Approach to Support Decision-Making in the Multi-Round of an Auction by Game Theory

In this paper, game-theoretic optimization by particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used to determine the Nash equilibrium value, in order to resolve the confusion in choosing appropriate bidders in multi-round procurement.To this end, we introduce an approach that proposes (i) a game-theoretic model of the multi-round procurement problem; (ii) a Na
