Given a tree T with edge lengths and edge weights, and a value B, the length-constrained heaviest path problem is to find a path in T with maximum path weight whose path length is at most B. We present a linear time algorithm for the problem when the edge lengths are uniform, i.e., all one. This algorithm with slight modification can be used to find the heaviest path of length exactly B in T in...

dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is an uncommon malignant mesenchymal tumor of the dermis, which most commonly appears on the body and extremities. a preoperative diagnosis of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is extremely difficult, because it is a very rare entity and its appearance is often similar to that of benign breast lesion. here, we presented a case of breast dermatofibrosarcoma protuber...

From an engineering point of view, the effect of light intensity distribution on the stability of growth rate should be taken into account in designing effective photobioreactors and sustaining stable growth rates. In the experiments described here, in order to keep operational parameters at an almost constant level, a semi-continuous culture method was developed for cultivation of photosynthet...
