We will not prove the theorem here, but we should step back and take a minute to think about the meaning of this theorem. A naive NL algorithm for Conn is to take the same NTM for Conn but flip its answers. Thus, we will accept, if there exists a wrong guess connecting s to t. However, for any (s, t), there exists a wrong guess, and we will end up accepting everything! Essentially, if (G, s, t)...

We report a case of primary aldosteronism caused by bilateral solitary aldosteronomas occurring 6 months apart, the diagnosis being confirmed by clinical features. Multiple aldosterone-producing adenomas can be unilateral or bilateral. If bilateral, most of them are found simultaneously. Bilateral solitary aldosteronomas occurring at separate times are rarely reported and the pathogenesis is st...

Update of geographic information systems (GIS) is very important. So far it is done mainly manually. In this paper we propose an approach for the automatic veriication of roads. It is a rst step towards a more automatic update procedure. The approach is based on up-to-date aerial images as well as GIS data. In the surroundings of GIS road-axes candidates for roadsides are searched for in the im...

A nostalgia theme was fully explored by Eastern Connecticut Health Network (ECHN), Manchester, Conn., in its celebration of Cancer Survivors Day, June 6. The observance is sponsored by the national Cancer Survivors Day organization. This year more than 700 facilities across the country observed the occasion.

Motivated by applications of large-scale graph clustering, we study random-walk-based local algorithms whose running times depend only on the size of the output cluster, rather than the entire graph. All previously known such algorithms guarantee an output conductance of Õ( √ φ(A)) when the target set A has conductance φ(A) ∈ [0, 1]. In this paper, we improve it to Õ ( min {√ φ(A), φ(A) √ Conn(...

BACKGROUND Age-dependent trabecular changes of the humeral head might weaken the fixation of suture anchors used for rotator cuff (RC) repair. This might lead to suture anchor loosening and thus compromise the integrity of the repair. The aim of this study was to analyze whether the trabecular microstructure within the RC footprint is influenced by age, gender or handedness. METHODS Axial HR-...
