For years, mammography has served as the gold standard for diagnosis of breast cancer, which is the second leading cause of cancer-related death among women. Nevertheless, as a major indicator of breast cancer, mammographic masses are very difficult to diagnose due to their large variance in shape, margin, size and their obscure boundaries. To facilitate the interpretation of mammographic masse...

We use two types of cross-country growth regression models to revisit explanations of slow growth in Africa looking at growth rate variation among African countries only. Both sets of models produce results that are surprising given conclusions based on global sample: within Africa, we …nd greater coastal population negatively and greater ethnic heterogeneity positively associated with growth, ...

We have been considering the problem of designing a non-blocking network, i.e. a network in which we can simultaneously connect every input i to an output (i) where can be any permutation. We considered two candidates for this: the Butter y and the Benes. On the Butter y we saw that for some permutations it was indeed possible to make all N connections, where N is the number of inputs, but for ...
