The -level Conditional Tail Expectation (CTE) of a continuous random variable X is defined as its conditional expectation given the event {X q }, where q represents its -level quantile. It is well known that the empirical CTE (the average of the n(1 ) largest order statistics in a sample of size n) is a negatively biased estimator of the CTE. This bias vanishes as the sample size increases but ...

Die weit verbreitete Klassifikationsbaum-Methode [1] erlaubt, unter Verwendung des CTE XL Professional [2] oder des CTE XL [3], die automatische Generierung von Testfallmengen für underschiedliche Testobjekte. Die in der Praxis ebenso wichtige Erstellung von Testsequenzen wird von den genannten Werkzeugen bislang nur manuell unterstützt. Berner & Mattner arbeitet daher an Generierungsmechanisme...

The growing awareness of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) has the potential to change the public perception and on-field rules of the National Football League (NFL). More than 3,000 ex-NFL players or their relatives are engaged in litigation alleging that the NFL failed to acknowledge and address the neuropsychiatric risks associated with brain injuries that result from playing in the NFL...

Objectives: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inborn error of metabolism with significant morbidity and mortality. Its presentation is non-specific leading to delay or missed diagnosis. Low ALP is a diagnostic test. Unlike high ALP, low level is commonly un-flagged by laboratories as abnormal. A new treatment has proved to be effective in HPP. We aim to study frequency of flagging of low ALP level b...

The acute and long-term consequences of traumatic brain injury (TBI) have received increased attention in recent years. In this Review, we discuss the neuropathology and neural mechanisms associated with TBI, drawing on findings from sports-induced TBI in athletes, in whom acute TBI damages axons and elicits both regenerative and degenerative tissue responses in the brain and in whom repeated c...

CoY hexaferrite-filled PEEK (poly ethyl ether ketone) compositeswere synthesized to characterize the effect of hexaferrites on their dielectric, magnetic and thermal properties for wireless sensing and communication applications. Fillers were synthesized from solid-state reaction route and blendedwith the thermoplastic polymermatrix.XRDwas used to study the phase purity of the synthesised fille...
