Ch?ng (Chang) and ?n (Eng) Bunker were conjoined twins [2] in the nineteenth century in the United States, the first pair of conjoined twins [2] whose condition was well documented in medical records. Conjoined twins are a rare condition in which two infants are born physically connected to each other. In their youth, the brothers earned money by putting themselves on display as curiosities and...

The road coloring problem is an interesing problem proposed over 40 years ago by Adler, Goodwyn and Weiss. Hundreds of mathematicians worked on this problem and failed to make the conjecture a theorem. Finally, in 2007, it was proved by a 60-year-old Israeli mathematician, Avraham Trahtman. It turns out the prove was quite simple after Trahtman partitioned the graph into cycles and trees. The d...

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a vascular disease characterized by multiple focal telangiectases and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in the pulmonary, hepatic, and cerebral microcirculations. These fragile structures are low-pressure conduits that can affect local tissue blood flow, and their potential rupture in vital organs can lead to internal hemorrhage, anemia, and death...

This paper presents a framework aimed at supporting the decision-making process for the preliminary design of system architectures for the extraction of spatially and temporally distributed resources. The goal of the research is to provide a tool to identify “global best” architectures for resource extraction “systems of systems,” which usually differ from the sum of “local best” systems. The f...
