Baker cyst is an enlargement of the gastrocnemius-semimembranosus bursa. Neuropathy can occur due to either direct compression from the cyst itself or indirectly after cyst rupture. We report a unique case of a 49-year-old man with left sole pain and paresthesia who was diagnosed with posterior tibial neuropathy at the lower calf area, which was found to be caused by a ruptured Baker cyst. The ...

Brevipalpus phoenicis sensu stricto (Geijskes) is redescribed and the species diagnosis established. Two former synonyms of B. phoenicis sensu lato, B. yothersi Baker and B. papayensis Baker, are resurrected and redescribed and their species diagnoses established. Brevipalpus hondurani Evans is also redescribed and diagnosed. Four new species, previously misidentified as B. phoenicis sensu lato...

We consider entire transcendental functions f with an invariant (or periodic) Baker domain U. First, we classify these domains into three types (hyperbolic, simply parabolic and doubly parabolic) according to the surface they induce when we quotient by the dynamics. Second, we study the space of quasiconformal deformations of an entire map with such a Baker domain by studying its Teichmüller sp...

We examine the impact on firm cash holdings of uncertainty uncertainty, measured as ex post volatility economic policy uncertainty. Using news-based index developed by Baker et al. (2016) for twenty-two countries, we find that, when there is greater firms hold more cash. Our results are robust to controlling a host firm-level and country-level factors. Consistent with (2016), consider that less...

Cette conjecture fut par la suite prouvée et généralisée par Baker, Birch et Wirsing. Dans leur article conjoint, Baker, Birch et Wirsing affirment que Chowla a aussi résolu le cas particulier que ce dernier a énoncé, mais ne donnent aucune indication sur le genre de démonstration effectuée. En nous basant sur certains articles préalablement écrits par Chowla, nous essayons de reconstruire ce q...

Thomas Nelson Baker Jr. may not be a household name, but he clearly represents the many African Americans that have achieved great success in higher education during a volatile racial period in our history (1). A native of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, Baker began his undergraduate studies at Oberlin College (Oberlin, Ohio) and earned his B.A. and M.A. in chemistry in 1929 and 1930, respectively. ...
