Minimal Flat Knotted Ribbons

This paper gives mathematical models for flat knotted ribbons, and makes specific conjectures for the least length of ribbon (for a given width)) needed to tie the trefoil knot and the figure eight knot. The first conjecture states that (for width one) the least length of ribbon needed to tie an open-ended trefoil knot is

A Knotted Minimal Tree

There is a finite set of points on the boundary of the three-dimensional unit ball whose minimal tree is knotted. This example answers a problem posed by Michael Freedman.

Emerging intravesical therapies for management of nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer

Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) is the second most common urologic malignancy, and 70% of patients present with superficial or nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is the most effective agent for preventing disease recurrence, and the only therapy able to inhibit disease progression. However, recurrence rates as high as 30% and significant loc...

Auto Diagnostics of Lung Nodules Using Minimal Characteristics Extraction Technique.

Computer-aided detection (CAD) systems provide useful tools and an advantageous process to physicians aiming to detect lung nodules. This paper develops a method composed of four processes for lung nodule detection. The first step employs image acquisition and pre-processing techniques to isolate the lungs from the rest of the body. The second stage involves the segmentation process using a 2D ...
