Apparent life-threatening events (ALTEs) are frightening to caregivers and clinicians alike. This article provides a comprehensive review of the causes, management, and consequences of ALTEs. The information provided was collected from an extensive literature review using the search terms ALTE, sudden infant death syndrome, and apnea. There is a wide array of contributing factors to ALTE syndro...

If bone adapts to maintain constant strains and if on-axis yield strains in trabecular bone are independent of apparent density, adaptive remodeling in trabecular bone should maintain a constant safety factor (yield strain/functional strain) during habitual loading. To test the hypothesis that yield strains are indeed independent of density, compressive (n = 22) and tensile (n = 22) yield strai...

Risk generated by uncertainty about future management policies appears to affect firms’ cost of borrowing. In a sample of S&P 1500 firms between 1987 and 2012, CDS spreads, loan spreads and bond yield spreads all decline over the first three years of CEO tenure, holding other macroeconomic, firm, and security level factors constant. This decline occurs regardless of the reason for the prior CEO...

This article provides a theoretical basis for relating macroscopic electrical signals recorded from biological tissue, such as electroencephalogram (EEG) and local field potential (LFP), to the electrophysiological processes at the cellular level in a manner consistent with Maxwell’s equations. Concepts of the apparent extracellular current density and the apparent extracellular space with appa...

The purpose of this study was to develop a method for directly measuring bone density of femoral neck sections. Three types of density were measured. Real density equals wet weight divided by the actual volume of bone tissue (real volume). Apparent density equals wet weight divided by the total volume occupied by the bone plus the pore spaces (total sample volume). Ash density equals the ash we...

We propose a novel Bayesian method to analytically continue observables real baryochemical potential $\mu_B$ in finite density QCD. Taylor coefficients at $\mu_B=0$ and data imaginary chemical $\mu_B^I$ are treated on equal footing. consider two different constructions for the Pad\'e approximants, classical multipoint approximation mixed that is slight generalization of recent idea theory. Appr...
