A biclique is a complete bipartite graph. Given a (L,R)-bipartite graph G = (V,E) and a positive integer k, the maximum edge biclique packing (mebp) problem consists in finding a set of at most k bicliques, subgraphs of G, such that the bicliques are vertex disjoint with respect to a subset S ⊆ V and the number of edges inside the bicliques is maximized. The maximum edge biclique (meb) problem ...

Muscle-eye-brain disease (MEB) is an autosomal recessive disease of unknown etiology characterized by severe mental retardation, ocular abnormalities, congenital muscular dystrophy, and a polymicrogyria-pachygyria-type neuronal migration disorder of the brain. A similar combination of muscle and brain involvement is also seen in Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS) and Fukuyama congenital muscular dys...

Mixed-population (heterogeneous) enterococcal bacteremia (MEB) is rarely reported. Based on one occasion in which Vitek2 missed a vancomycin-resistant subpopulation isolated from a patient, we developed a simple method to detect this subpopulation and determined MEB frequency. The four patients presented here had either Enterococcus faecium or Enterococcus faecalis bacteremia caused by both van...

In the course of Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission calibration and validation activities, a ground based L-band radiometer ELBARA II was situated at the test site Puch in Southern Germany in the Upper Danube Catchment. The experiment is described and the different data sets acquired are presented. The L-band microwave emission of the biosphere (L-MEB) model that is also used in th...

The Gutman index (also known as Schultz index of the second kind) of a graph G is defined as Gut(G) = ∑ u,v∈V (G) d(u)d(v)d(u, v). We show that among all graphs on n vertices, the star graph Sn has minimal Gutman index. In addition, we present upper and lower bounds on Gutman index for graphs with minimal and graphs with maximal Gutman index. Corresponding author Supported by project 1M0545 of ...

We address the problem of Minimum Enclosing Ball (MEB) and its generalization to Minimum Enclosing Convex Polytope (MECP). Given n points in a d dimensional Euclidean space, we give a O(nd/ √ ) algorithm for producing an enclosing ball whose radius is at most away from the optimum. In the case of MECP our algorithm takes O(1/ ) iterations to converge. In both cases we improve the existing resul...

A sterically demanding iminophosphonamine ligand [(2,6-iPr2C6H3N)P(Ph2)(NtBu)]H (LH) and its lithium derivative [(2,6-iPr2C6H3N)P(Ph2)(NtBu)](Li·2THF) (1) were used to prepare complexes of group 13 elements. The reaction of LH with AlH3·NMe2Et and AlMe3 respectively, affords [LAlH2]2 (2) and LAlMe2 (3). The lithium derivative 1 when treated with the MCl3 compound of group 13 yields [(2,6-iPr2C6...

Spironolactone and potassium canrenoate are diuretics that are used widely for management of cirrhotic ascites. The administration of spironolactone frequently leads to feminization, which has been noted less frequently with the use of potassium canrenoate, a salt of the active metabolite of spironolactone. The use of these two drugs has been associated with decreases in serum testosterone leve...
