LPH: As a graduate student at the University of Minnesota, I had the opportunity to take classes from Chris Sims and Tom Sargent. Both emphasized the idea that dynamic econometric models should be viewed as restrictions on stochastic processes. Sims’ classroom development of large sample econometrics broke with the more conventional view of the time of focusing on models with exogenous regresso...

Let T be the quasi-nilpotent DT-operator. By use of Voiculescu’s amalgamated R-transform we compute the momets of (T −λ1)∗(T − λ1) where λ ∈ C, and the Brown-measure of T + √ Y , where Y is a circular element ∗-free from T for > 0. Moreover we give a new proof of Śniady’s formula for the moments τ(((T ∗)kT )) for k, n ∈ N.

Neglected patella tendon ruptures require reconstruction using tendon grafts. The LARS ligament has been successfully used in cruciate and collateral knee ligament reconstruction. We present a technique using LARS ligament for the reconstruction of a chronic patella tendon rupture in a low-demand patient. The result after 1-year follow-up was deemed successful.

Line Associative Registers (LARs) are the basis for a new class of processor architectures in which memory accesses are minimized by explicitly managing wide lines of instructions and data in processor registers. The design of LARs has signi cant commonality with a number of existing technologies which have been more or less widely adopted, however, we rmly believe that LARs-based design, which...

OBJECTIVE Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive technique that allows monitoring of regional hemoglobin oxygen saturation (rSO2) values and might have a role in the diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease. We assessed the reproducibility and inter-subject variability of rSO2 values and rSO2 limb-to-arm ratios (LARs) in lower extremities of healthy subjects. METHODS The rSO2 valu...

Aim Little is known about the pathophysiology of low anterior resection syndrome (LARS), and evidence concerning management patients diagnosed with this condition scarce. The aim LARS Expert Advisory Panel was to develop practical guidance for healthcare professionals dealing LARS. Method ‘Management guidelines syndrome’ (MANUEL) project promoted by a team eight experts in assessment After face...

Most of this article concerns the uses of LARS and the two related methods in the age-old, " somewhat notorious, " problem of " [a]utomatic model-building algorithms.. . " for linear regression. In the following, I will confine my comments to this notorious problem and to the use of LARS and its relatives to solve it. 1. The implicit assumption. Suppose the response is y, and we collect the m p...
