The story of patient self-determination cannot be told without the Nuremberg trials. Patient autonomy was the first criterion enunciated by the Nuremberg judges and has served as a touchstone for human subject research and patient care ever since. Yet this ideal was in an important sense irrelevant at the moment it was originally proclaimed.

I present evidence of inefficient information processing in equity markets by documenting that negative information withheld by securities analysts is incorporated in stock prices with a significant delay. I estimate the extent of the withheld negative information based on the proportion of analysts who stop revising their annual earnings forecasts. This measure predicts negative earnings surpr...

The low energy radiative capture process np → dγ provides a sensitive probe of the two-nucleon system. The cross section for this process is dominated by the isovector M1 amplitude for capture from the S0 channel via the isovector magnetic moment of the nucleon. In this work we use effective field theory to compute the isoscalar M1, isoscalar E2 and isovector E1 amplitudes that are strongly sup...

This paper deals with adaptive control of linear time-invariant systems with unknown parameters and with two sampling rates: a slower one for the output and a faster one for the input. It is known that intersample ripples often arise in the outputs of the closed-loop multirate systems although multirate control has interesting advantages. In this paper, a ripple-suppressed multirate adaptive co...
