Clearly, financial literacy is a problem for most Americans, as evidenced by the recent financial crisis. Immigrants are especially vulnerable to negative externalities of the financial system, as they often do not speak English or have relevant financial...

Accelerated Bend Minimization

We present an O(n) algorithm for minimizing the number of bends in an orthogonal drawing of a plane graph. It has been posed as a long standing open problem at Graph Drawing 2003, whether the bound of O(n7/4√logn) shown by Garg and Tamassia in 1996 could be improved. To answer this question, we show how to solve the uncapacitated min-cost flow problem on a planar bidirected graph with bounded c...

Bend into shape

Bacteria come in a variety of shapes, as most species elaborate on the ‘default’ sphere to resemble ovoids, rods, bend rods, spirals, branched filaments or other more complicated forms. How cells that are under considerable turgor pressure maintain a nonspherical shape is unclear, though it is known to depend on structural elements on either side of the cytoplasmic membrane: the murein (peptido...
