Abstract: A computer implemented system and method is used to identify groups of entities based on bipartite directed graphs. Each group consists of two sets of entities, which have some association between each other. Two parameters, typicality and coverage, are taken into account in the computation for identifying the groups.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for media access control and rate control to improve data throughput in multihop wireless networks. For controlling media access, an unlocking mechanism is provided that sets the unlocking times at which the scheduling patterns of a MAC protocol is unlocked by requiring all, or a subset of links, to stop transmitting. The unlocking times are set and updated according to quality of service requirements which may change over time. Parameters of the MAC protocol and packet arrivals rates to the links in the network are updated using the parameters of the unlocking mechanism, the queue-sizes, and the utility functions of the links in the network.

Abstract: A method for obtaining at least one binding agent which binds a pharmaceutically active form of the compound with a higher specificity than a pharmaceutically inactive form of the compound is described by using special derivatives of said parent compound. The invention also pertains to the respectively created binding agents and derivatives. Furthermore, drug monitoring assays using said binding agents for monitoring pharmaceutically active forms of said parent compound are provided.

Abstract: A method of ranking and suggesting objects, such as tags, is described in which a group of objects are suggested to a user in relation to a particular information object, such as a web page or file. A user either selects one of the suggestions or enters an alternative object and on receipt of data identifying the particular object selected by the user, the group of suggestions is updated based on whether the object selected by the user was one of the suggestions or not. The updating of the group may also be based on other factors, such as ranking parameters associated with each of the objects.

Abstract: Administration of monoclonal antibodies specific for IL-2R to xenograft recipients, or long-term to immunosuppression-intolerant or non-compliant patients over a period of time beyond the very early phase of organ transplantation, prevents transplant rejection.

Abstract: Scrap cuttings are separated from a panel that was punched or cut from a sheet of material by providing a transport device (22) that attracts a sheet of material (10), supported by a platen (15) of a machining device (16), that was punched or cut via the attractive force of a first attraction surface (28). Subsequently, the transport device (22) is moved toward a second attraction surface (39) of a cutting separator (18) until the sheet of material (10) is lying on top of the second attraction surface (39); and the attractive force exerted in this position by the second attraction surface (39) is greater in the area of the cuttings (14) than the attractive force exerted by the first attraction surface (28), and the attractive force exerted by the second attraction surface (39) in the area of the panel (12) is smaller than the attractive force exerted by the first attraction surface (28).
