The Carnegie classification system has served as a framework for research on colleges and universities for more than 30 years. Today, the system’s developers are exploring criteria that more effectively differentiate among institutions. One approach being considered is classifying institutions based on students’ educational experiences. This study explored whether it is possible to create a typ...

We discuss the problem of global invertibility of nonlinear maps defined on the finite dimensional Euclidean space via differential tests. We provide a generalization of the Fujisawa-Kuh global inversion theorem and introduce a generalized ratio condition which detects when the pre-image of a certain class of linear manifolds is non-empty and connected. In particular, we provide conditions that...

Shah-Waardenburg syndrome (SWS) is a neurocristopathy and is characterized by Hirschsprung's disease (HD), deafness, and depigmentation of hairs, skin, and iris. Is a very rare congenital disorder with variable clinical expression. This report describes a 4-day-old male newborn with Waardenburg's syndrome associated with aganglionosis of the colon and terminal ileum, and review the relevant lit...

The Mumford-Shah functional for image segmentation is an original approach of the image segmentation problem, based on a minimal energy criterion. Its minimization can be seen as a free discontinuity problem and is based on Γ-convergence and bounded variation functions theories. Some new regularization results, make possible to imagine a finite element resolution method. In a first time, the Mu...

In this paper, we consider minimizing the Mumford-Shah functional over two-valued functions in the plane. Existence of minimizers is straightforward and we show that the edge set of any zninimizer is a finite union of C curves.
