The multicommodity flow problem is NP-hard already for two commodities over bipartite graphs. Nonetheless, using our recent theory of n-fold integer programming and extensions developed herein, we are able to establish the surprising polynomial time solvability of the problem in two broad situations.

Cerebral fat embolism is an uncommon but serious complication of long-bone fracture. Nonetheless, recognition of this uncommon complication remains difficult. Here we present two cases of cerebral fat embolism syndrome (CFES) and describe a possible association between CFES and high lactate levels.

The multicommodity flow problem is NP-hard already for two commodities over bipartite graphs. Nonetheless, using our recent theory of n-fold integer programming and extensions developed herein, we are able to establish the surprising polynomial time solvability of the problem in two broad situations.

Women's Mental Health in Brazil remains underserved due to the lack of specialized clinical centers and poor research training or productivity. Nonetheless, there have been some promising initiatives over the last two decades to integrate gynecologic and mental health services and provide more multidisciplinary clinical care. This paper reviews such initiatives and discusses their strengths and...

The inherence heuristic is too broad as a theoretical notion. The authors are at risk of applying their own heuristic in supporting itself. Nonetheless the article provides useful insight into the ways in which people overestimate the coherence and completeness of their understanding of the world.

There are five key interrelated dimensions of the agricultural water/poverty reduction relationship: production, income/consumption, employment, vulnerability/food security, and overall welfare. In general, irrigation access allows poor people to increase their production and incomes and enhances income diversification opportunities, reducing vulnerability caused by seasonality and other factor...

We provide a new geometric construction of pre-models (à la Ghys) for Lavaurs maps, from which we deduce that their Siegel disk is a Jordan curve running through a critical point, which was not known before. The construction turns out to work also for a class of entire maps, very specific, nonetheless including cases where no pre-models were known.

A geometric method for the design of a minimal-order dynamic feedforward compensator cancelling the minimum-phase invariant zeros of a linear multivariable system, while preserving the properties of controllability, observability, and right invertibility is discussed. The method is illustrated for continuous-time, non-strictly proper systems. Nonetheless, it also applies to strictly-proper syst...

Over the last decades, health social determinants have improved and access to health and technology has certainly enhanced; nonetheless, a disproportionate distribution of perinatal characteristics in the country can still be observed. Empirical results show a decrease in the child mortality rates and an increase in LBW and premature newborns in all regions, although with lower increase in less...

Most library students will have studied Ranganathan and faceted classification, but unless they live in India, they are unlikely to have read his works in detail or used his Colon Classification scheme. Nonetheless, his groundbreaking work has been influential in traditional library classification schemes. Facets are fundamental to the Bliss Bibliographic Classification, and are important in th...
