A Triangulation of the Flow Polytope of the Zigzag Graph

We show that the dual graph of the triangulation of the flow polytope of the zigzag graph adorned with the length-reverse-length framing is a subgraph of a grid graph. Through Mészáros, Morales, and Striker's bijection between simplices of the triangulation, integer flows of a di...

Electric Double Layer Organization of Proton-Transfer Pathways Regulates Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution

Abstract Constructing bifunctional catalysts with synergistic interfaces is a promising strategy to overcome the sluggish kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline media, where interfacial proton transfer plays a critical role in the reaction kinetics. However...

Review Article: Cancer Surveillance for Early Detection of Liver Cancer in Patients with HBV Infection

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although antiviral therapy reduces cirrhosis and liver failure, HCC may still develop in patients with HBV, including in non-cirrhotic livers. This review aimed...

Meromorphic functions whose action on their Julia sets is non-ergodic

Nevanlinna functions are meromorphic functions with a finite number of asymptotic values and no critical values. Keen and Kotus (1995) proved that if the orbits of all the asymptotic values accumulate on a compact set on which the function acts as a repeller, then the function ac...

Preliminary Evidence for the Effects of Bilingual ECoLoGiC Treatment for People With Aphasia

Purpose: The focus of this preliminary study is to report the effects of bilingual Expanding Communication and Language Opportunities Generated in Conversation Treatment (ECoLoGiC-Tx) on formal measures of language, functional communication, and patient/family-reported outcomes (...

“Farming Saved My Life”: Land as Teacher, Healer, and Connector in New York City

In 2015, the United Nations examined barriers to peace, human well-being, and environmental stability among member states, generating 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Gardens and farms in NYC advance the SDGs in the local context by promoting inclusive, resilient communiti...

Optimizing Field-of-View for Type-1 Retinopathy of Prematurity via Multiple Instance Learning

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to cut down on screening time and costs, this study optimizes field-of-view (FOV) combinations for classifying type-1 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) through multiple-instance learning (MIL) that models clinical decision making. Methods: Th...
