BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Many pediatric patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) have an apparent increased thickness of the corpus callosum (CC) on sagittal T1-weighted images compared with patients not affected by NF-1. In this study, we compared the surface area of the CC in children with NF-1 with that of healthy pediatric control subjects to determine if this was another common intracra...

This tutorial teaches dynamic multithreaded algorithms using a Cilk-like [11, 8, 10] model. The material was taught in the MIT undergraduate class 6.046 Introduction to Algorithms as two 80-minute lectures. The style of the lecture notes follows that of the textbook by Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest, and Stein [7], but the pseudocode from that textbook has been “Cilkified” to allow it to describe mu...

We're surrounded by inconsistency: in our requirements, in the data that our software processes, and in those software systems themselves. Yet our formal systems can't handle such inconsistency. Most of them lose the ability to form any valid conclusions or analyses in the presence of even a single inconsistency. This forces our programs to operate in terms of an idealized model rather than the...

A three-dimensional grid drawing of a graph is a placement of the vertices at distinct points with integer coordinates, such that the straight line segments representing the edges do not cross. Our aim is to produce three-dimensional grid drawings with small bounding box volume. Our first main result is that every nvertex graph with bounded degeneracy has a three-dimensional grid drawing with O...

Nearly 100 cases of lethal acute hemorrhagic disease in young Asian elephants have been reported worldwide. All tested cases contained high levels of elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV) DNA in pathological blood or tissue samples. Seven known major types of EEHVs have been partially characterized and shown to all belong to the novel Proboscivirus genus. However, the recently determined...
