Aluminosis – Detection of an almost forgotten disease with HRCT

The aim of this study was to investigate whether it is possible to detect high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings in aluminium powder workers, which are consistent with early stages of aluminosis.62 male workers from 8 departments of two plants producing aluminium (Al) powder were investigated using a standardized questionnaire, physical examination, lung function analysis, biologic...

Almost forgotten or latest practice? AFLP applications, analyses and advances.

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) DNA fingerprinting is a firmly established molecular marker technique, with broad applications in population genetics, shallow phylogenetics, linkage mapping, parentage analyses, and single-locus PCR marker development. Technical advances have presented new opportunities for data analysis, and recent studies have addressed specific areas of the AFLP...

Settling the Complexity of Local Max-Cut (Almost) Completely

We consider the problem of finding a local optimum for Max-Cut with FLIP-neighborhood, in which exactly one node changes the partition. Schäffer and Yannakakis (SICOMP, 1991) showed PLScompleteness of this problem on graphs with unbounded degree. On the other side, Poljak (SICOMP, 1995) showed that in cubic graphs every FLIP local search takes O(n) steps, where n is the number of nodes. Due to ...
