The Modifi ed Hockey - Stick Incision for Neck Dissection
The treatment of cancers of the head and neck often involves removal of selected lymph node groups in the neck. It may also include sacrifi ce of structures within the neck in order to achieve clearance of disease. To make this possible, one must fi rst gain adequate access to the neck. There are many techniques described in the literature to achieve this. This article will describe some common...
متن کاملBehind the hockey stick.
Michael Mann knows his students and his subject. The topic of the graduate seminar: El Niño and radiative forcing. The beer he will be serving: Corona, “because I’m going to be talking about tropical climate.” Not surprisingly, attendance is high. Mann is most famously known for the “hockey stick,” a plot of the past millennium’s temperature that shows the drastic infl uence of humans in the 20...
متن کاملOn Exponential Approximation to the Hockey Stick Function∗
The hockey stick function is a basic function in pricing and risk management of many financial derivatives. This paper considers approximating the hockey stick function by a sum of exponentials. The algorithm proposed by Beylkin and Monzón[1] is used to determine the parameters of an approximation. Theoretical properties of the approximation are studied. Numerical results are presented. This re...
متن کاملAn Exponential Approximation to the Hockey Stick Function∗
The hockey stick (HS) function plays an important role in pricing and risk management of many financial derivatives. This paper considers approximating the HS function by a sum of exponentials. This enables the efficient computation of an approximation to the expected value of the HS function applied to a sum of conditionally independent nonnegative random variables, a task that arises in prici...
متن کاملWhy Do Sleeping Nematodes Adopt a Hockey-Stick-Like Posture?
A characteristic posture is considered one of the behavioral hallmarks of sleep, and typically includes functional features such as support for the limbs and shielding of sensory organs. The nematode C. elegans exhibits a sleep-like state during a stage termed lethargus, which precedes ecdysis at the transition between larval stages. A hockey-stick-like posture is commonly observed during letha...
