Are refined carbohydrates worse than saturated fat?

Many Minds are No Worse than One

Poor Estimates of Context are Worse than None

It is difficult to estimate the probability of a word's context because of sparse data problems. If appropriate care is taken, we find that it is possible to make useful estimates of contextual probabilities that improve performance in a spelling correction application. In contrast, less careful estimates are found to be useless. Specifically, we will show that the Good-Turing method makes the ...

Quinidine. Worse than adverse?

Health of elderly male prisoners: worse than the general population, worse than younger prisoners.

BACKGROUND Assessment of the health of men aged 60 and over in English and Welsh prisons. METHODS 203 men were interviewed from 15 prisons, comprising one-fifth of all sentenced men in this age group in England and Wales. Assessment included semi-structured interviews covering chronic and acute health problems, and recording of major illnesses from the medical notes and prison reception healt...

Fat sets and saturated ideals

We strengthen a theorem of Gitik and Shelah [6] by showing that if κ is either weakly inaccessible or the successor of a singular cardinal and S is a stationary subset of κ such that NSκ S is saturated then κ \S is fat. Using this theorem we derive some results about the existence of fat stationary sets. We then strengthen some results due to Baumgartner and Taylor [2], showing in particular th...
