Elaborating on the similarity between the entropy power inequality and the Brunn-Minkowski inequality, Costa and Cover conjectured in On the similarity of the entropy power inequality and the BrunnMinkowski inequality (IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory 30 (1984), no. 6, 837-839) the 1 n -concavity of the outer parallel volume of measurable sets as an analogue of the concavity of entropy power. We inve...

A 36−year−old man with organizing right pleural empyema was treated by decortication, however the lung failed to expand. Intraoperative bronchoscopy disclosed foreign body (chicken bone) obstructing the right main bronchus. Extraction of the foreign body was followed by immediate expansion of the lung and uneventful recovery. Pleural empyema may be caused by a foreign body obstructing bronchus....

Abstract The initial conditions found in infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) provide insights on how high-mass stars and stellar clusters form. We have conducted high-angular resolution high-sensitivity observations toward thirty-nine massive IRDC clumps, which been mosaicked using the 12 7 m arrays from Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. targets are 70 μ (220–4900 M ⊙ ), dense (>10 4 cm...
