This begs the question, what can we glean in medical education from this philosophy of jazz mentoring? Despite our training to understand disease and illness in branching logic diagrams, the human experience of illness is still best understood when told a...

Faster Gossiping on Butter ies?

Gossiping has been considered intensively for butterries and \regular" butterries (which have no wrap-around connections). In the telephone communication model, for a butterry of order k, the best previous gossiping algorithms require 2 1 = 2 k and 3 k communication rounds, respectively. By new asymptotic methods we break through these bounds, proving new bounds of 2 1 = 4 k + o(k) and 2 1 = 2 ...

On the Fault Tolerance of the Butter

We study the robustness of the butter y network against random static faults. Suppose that each edge of the butter y is present independently of other edges with probability p. Our main result is that there is a 0-1 law on the existence of a linearsized component. More formally, there is a critical probability p such that for p above p , the faulted butter y almost surely contains a linear-size...
