Sinclair and Jerrum derived a bound on the mixing rate of time-reversible Markov chains in terms of their conductance. We generalize this result, not assuming time-reversibility and using a weaker notion of conductance. We prove an isoperimetric inequality for subsets of a convex body. These results are combined to simplify an algorithm of Dyer, Frieze and Kannan for approximating the volume of...

We give a new proof of the following interesting fact recently proved by Bower and Michael: if a d-dimensional rectangular box can be tiled using translates of two types of rectangular bricks, then it can also be tiled in the following way. We can cut the box across one of its sides into two boxes, one of which can be tiled with the first brick only and the other one with the second brick. Our ...

Multiple myeloma (MM) progression closely depends on bone marrow (BM) angiogenesis. Several factors sustain angiogenesis, including cytokines, growth factors, and cell-to-cell interactions. Herein, BM thrombopoietin (TPO) was shown to support angiogenesis disease in MM. Patients with MM at different phases had higher levels of circulating TPO than monoclonal gammopathy undetermined significance...
