BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Prediction of intubation difficulty can save patients from major preoperative morbidity or mortality. The purpose of this paper is to assess the correlation between oro-hypo pharynx position, neck size, and length with endotracheal intubation difficulty. The study also explored the diagnostic value of Friedman Staging System in prediction cases with difficult intubation...

In this paper we answer a question of Friedman, providing an ω-separable model M of the λβη-calculus. There therefore exists an α-separable model for any α ≥ 0. The model M permits no non-trivial enrichment as a partial order; neither does it permit an enrichment as a category with an initial object. The open term model embeds in M: by way of contrast we provide a model which cannot embed in an...

t is an honor and a pleasure to have this opportunity, on the anniversary of Milton and Rose Friedman's popular classic, Free to Choose, to speak on Milton Friedman's monetary framework and his contributions to the theory and practice of monetary policy. About a year ago, I also had the honor, at a conference at the University of Chicago in honor of Milton's ninetieth birthday, to discuss the c...

In our first paper on stochastic stability [1] we proved several results which we could not find in the literature. Professor Hasminskh* has kindly pointed out that several of our initial results can be obtained directly from theorems found in his book [2]. In particular, the results of §§1 and 2 of [1] follow directly from results in Chapters 5 and 6 of [2]. Furthermore, the methods of §6.8 of...

In this editorial by Lisa Keay and David S Friedman (BMJ 2011;343:d4793, doi:10.1136/bmj.d4793) the authors mixed up their workplace affiliations. The workplace affiliation for Lisa Keay should have been the one given for David S Friedman, and vice versa.

We propose a new application of the Friedman statistical test of significance to compare multiple retrieval methods. After measuring the average precision at the eleven standard levels of recall, our application of the Friedman test provides a global comparison of the methods. In some experiments this test provides additional and useful information to decide if methods are different.
