Abstract We improve results by Frank, Hainzl, Naboko, and Seiringer (J Geom Anal 17(4):559–567, 2007) Hainzl (Math Nachr 283(3):489–499, 2010) on the weak coupling limit of eigenvalues for Schrödinger-type operators whose kinetic energy vanishes a codimension one submanifold. The main technical innovation that allows us to go beyond potentials considered in (2007), (2010) is use Tomas–Stein the...

Despite the US Food and Drug Administration's approval in 1996, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) therapy for acute ischemic stroke remains substantially underused. We reviewed 3 potential reasons for low rates of tPA use: poor patient education, physicians' perceived risk of legal liability from negative patient outcomes, and insufficient reimbursement. The recent addition of diagnosis-relate...

559 Nonetheless, the extent to which gifts of food and other items will actually decrease will not be known for some time. Terms such as “occasional” and “modest” are open to interpretation. And the gifts of food and educational items that are still allowed could influence physicians’ behavior and benefit industry. It is also uncertain whether the provision of fewer gifts will lead to a decreas...

Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 76: 400-402 (1983) ABSTRACT No males were found among 559 specimens of Pityophthorus puberulus (LeConte) from several localities. No sperm was found in the spermatheca of 10 females taken from recently established galleries containing eggs and young larvae. This is the third record of thelytoky in a scolytid. The known distribution and environment of parthenogenetic popul...

In this paper, we consider the robust estimation for a certain class of diffusion processes including the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process based on discrete observations. As a robust estimator, we consider the minimum density power divergence estimator (MDPDE) proposed by Basu et al. (Biometrika 85:549–559, 1998). It is shown that the MDPDE is consistent and asymptotically normal. A simulation study ...
