Finding Short Paths On Polytopes By The Shadow Vertex Algorithm
We show that the shadow vertex algorithm can be used to compute a short path between a given pair of vertices of a polytope $P = \left\{ x \in \mathbb{R}^n \,\colon\, Ax \leq b \right\}$ along the edges of P, where A∈ℝm ×n. Both, the length of the path and the running time of the algorithm, are polynomial in m, n, and ...

Follow the PAIN: Novel Somatotopically-Based Integrative Approach to Study Mechanisms of Detection, Transmission and Perpetuation of Nociceptive, Inflammatory and Neuropathic Pain
The worst of evils - pain is one of the main reasons for seeking medical help. Chronic pain affects almost one fifth of the population of Europe and leads to exorbitant medical expenses as well as extreme suffering. Despite extensive efforts, effective pain treatment has remained elusive. Inadequate understanding of t...

Strongly anisotropic spin relaxation in graphene-transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures at room temperature
A large enhancement in the spin-orbit coupling of graphene has been predicted when interfacing it with semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides. Signatures of such an enhancement have been reported, but the nature of the spin relaxation in these systems remains unknown. Here, we unambiguously demonstrate anisotr...

High Familial Risk In Nodular Lymphocyte Predominant Hodgkin Lymphoma
Purpose Nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) is one of the two established Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) subtypes. The risk factors of NLPHL are largely unknown. In general, genetic factors are known to have a modest effect on the risk of HL; however, familial risk in NLPHL has not been previously examined. ...

When readers believe journalists: Effects of adjudication in varied dispute contexts
Journalists are often criticized for passive reporting of factual disputes in politics, but researchers have only recently begun exploring conditions in which they may successfully influence readers’ beliefs—scenarios less likely to produce partisan bias. Intraparty disputes and those which are polarized, but not conte...

Faster degradation of herbicidally-active enantiomer of imidazolinones in soils
Imidazolinones are chiral herbicides, comprised of two enantiomers with differential herbicidal activity. In this study, the selective degradation of enantiomers of the three imidazolinone herbicides, imazapyr, imazethapyr and imazaquin, was determined in a variety of soils selected to cover a broad range of physico-ch...

Integrating Safety and Cybersecurity through Stochastic Model Checking
Emerging technologies, like self-driving cars, drones, and the Internet-of-Things must not impose threats to people, neither due to accidental failures (safety), nor due to malicious attacks (security). As historically separated fields, safety and security are often analyzed in isolation. They are, however, heavily int...
