The obstructions for toroidal graphs with no 's
Forbidden minors and subdivisions for toroidal graphs are numerous. We
consider the toroidal graphs with no -subdivisions that coincide with
the toroidal graphs with no -minors. These graphs admit a unique
decomposition into planar components and have short lists of obstructions. We
provide the complete lists of four forbidden minors and eleven forbidden
subdivisions for the toroidal graphs with no 's and prove that the
lists are sufficient.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures, revised version with additional detail
Max Flesch (1852–1943): Veterinäranatom, Arzt und NS-Opfer
The Jewish physician Dr. med. Max Flesch, a student of the Würzburger anatomist Albert von Kölliker (1817–1905), was professor of anatomy, histology and embryology at the School of Veterinary Medicine in Bern from 1882–1887. He was the first at that school who unified the three anatomical fields in one hand. From his Institute came Oskar Rubeli (1861–1952) who was also his successor. From 1888 on Max Flesch was engaged as practitioner and later as gynaecologist. During the First World War he proved his worth as a hospital physician. After the war he most likely was working for another decade in his practice in Frankfurt before retiring in Hochwaldhausen at the Hessian Vogelsberg. During his retirement Flesch published his experiences as l nurse and hospital physician, respectively during the wars 1870/71 and 1914–1918. With the assumption of power by the National Socialists the living conditions for Jews in Germany radically changed; also Max Flesch became victim of the Nazi racism. Although very old he was carried off 1942 into the concentration camp Theresienstadt where he lost his life in May 1943. We owe Max Flesch honourable remembranceDer jüdische Arzt Dr. med. Max Flesch, ein Schüler des Würzburger Anatomen Albert von Koelliker (1817–1905), war von 1882–1887 Professor für Anatomie, Histologie und Embryologie an der Tierarzneischule in Bern. Als solcher vereinigte er erstmals an der Schule die drei anatomischen Sparten in einer Hand. Aus seinem Institut ging Oskar Rubeli (1861–1952) hervor, der auch sein Nachfolger wurde. Ab 1888 engagierte sich Max Flesch als praktizierender Arzt und später als Frauenarzt. Im 1. Weltkrieg bewährte er sich als Lazarettarzt. Nach Kriegsende wirkte er vermutlich noch ein Jahrzehnt in seiner Praxis in Frankfurt, bevor er sich auf seinen Altensitz in Hochwaldhausen im hessischen Vogelsberg zurückzog. Flesch publizierte hier seine Erfahrungen als Krankenpfleger bzw. Lazarettarzt aus den Kriegen 1870/71 und 1914–1918. Mit der Machtübernahme durch die Nationalsozialisten änderten sich die Lebensbedingungen für Juden in Deutschland von Grund auf; auch Max Flesch wurde Opfer des Nationalsozialistischen Rassenwahns. Obwohl hoch betagt, wurde er 1942 in das Konzentrationslager Theresienstadt verschleppt und kam dort im Mai 1943 ums Leben. Wir schulden Max Flesch ein ehrendes Gedenken
COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHIC ANATOMY AND CHARACTERISTICS OF RESPIRATORY ASPERGILLOSIS IN JUVENILE WHOOPING CRANES
Respiratory diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in captivity reared, endangered whooping cranes (Grus americana). Objectives of this retrospective, case series, cross‐sectional study were to describe computed tomography (CT) respiratory anatomy in a juvenile whooping crane without respiratory disease, compare CT characteristics with gross pathologic characteristics in a group of juvenile whooping cranes with respiratory aspergillosis, and test associations between the number of CT tracheal bends and bird sex and age. A total of 10 juvenile whooping cranes (one control, nine affected) were included. Seven affected cranes had CT characteristics of unilateral extrapulmonary bronchial occlusion or wall thickening, and seven cranes had luminal occlusion of the intrapulmonary primary or secondary bronchi. Air sac membrane thickening was observed in three cranes in the cranial and caudal thoracic air sacs, and air sac diverticulum opacification was observed in four cranes. Necropsy lesions consisted of severe, subacute to chronic, focally extensive granulomatous pathology of the trachea, primary bronchi, lungs, or air sacs. No false positive CT scan results were documented. Seven instances of false negative CT scan results occurred; six of these consisted of subtle, mild air sacculitis including membrane opacification or thickening, or the presence of small plaques found at necropsy. The number of CT tracheal bends was associated with bird age but not sex. Findings supported the use of CT as a diagnostic test for avian species with respiratory disease and tracheal coiling or elongated tracheae where endoscopic evaluation is impractical
Lymph Drainage from the Ovine Tonsils: An Anatomical Study of the Tonsillar Lymph Vessels
A KURATOWSKI THEOREM FOR ORIENTABLE SURFACES
Let denote a 2-dimensional surface. A graph is irreducible for
provided that does not embed into , but every proper subgraph
of does. Let () denote the set of graphs with vertex degree
at least three that are irreducible for . In this paper we prove that
() is finite for each orientable surface. Together with the result by
D. Archdeacon and Huneke, stating that () is finite for each
non-orientable surface, this settles a conjecture of Erd's from
the 1930s that () is finite for each surface .
Let denote the closed orientable surface of genus . We also
write () to denote the genus of orientable surface .
Let be a finite graph. An embedding of into a surface is a
topological map \o'0 /'.
The orientable genus () of the graph is defined to be the
least value of () for all orientable surfaces into
which can be embedded.
Let be a property of a graph . We say that is -critical
provided that has property but no proper subgraph of has
property . For example, if is the property that ()
, then the -critical graphs are the two Kuratowski graphs
and . In general, if is the property that
() , then a -critical graph can be embedded in
but not in . Such a -critical graph is
also called irreducible for the surface .
For any surface , let () denote the set of graphs that have no
vertices of degree two and are irreducible for .We are currently acquiring citations for the work deposited into this collection.

FUNDAMENTAL THEORECTICAL CONCEPTS, SELECTED FOR THE STARTING COMPUTER SCIENTIST
This is a report on the subjects that I have chosen as material for
an introductory course to the theory of computer science. I have been
teaching such a course for many years and I have tried out many
different approaches - the latest one, described here, seems to be the
most successful one so far.
My main objective has been to introduce the fundamental concepts of
Computability and Specification, Implementation and Verification to
the student in such a way that the essential heuristic ideas, on which
these concepts are based become transparent. It is a nontrivial task to
find a good compromise between the amount of formal detail that is
needed to describe these concepts properly and between the amount of
informal and intuitive argument that is necessary for the student to
clearly see the underlying ideas.We are currently acquiring citations for the work deposited into this collection.
