Suicide among New York City police officers, 1977-1996.

OBJECTIVE The authors assessed the suicide rates of New York City police officers during a recent period. METHOD The authors reviewed death certificates of active New York City police officers who died from 1977 through 1996 (N=668); age-, gender-, and race-specific suicide rates among New York City police officers and the city's residents were determined. RESULTS The police suicide rate wa...

Risk for rabies transmission from encounters with bats, Colorado, 1977-1996.

To assess the risk for rabies transmission to humans by bats, we analyzed the prevalence of rabies in bats that encountered humans from 1977 to 1996 and characterized the bat-human encounters. Rabies was diagnosed in 685 (15%) of 4,470 bats tested. The prevalence of rabies in bats that bit humans was 2.1 times higher than in bats that did not bite humans. At least a third of the encounters were...

- SISTA / TR 1996 - 20 Prediction of dynamical systems with compositionnetworks 1

In this paper we study the problem of predicting dynamical systems from discrete-time measurements of the state variables. Our approach is based on the theory of Lie algebras and the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorr formula. We present the composition network which is a multi-layer architecture which can use the a priori knowledge we have about the system. We also introduce the "MLP in dynamics space" w...
