Few measurements have been made of the frictional forces within living joints. Barnett and Cobbold (1962) recorded that the coefficient of friction at the distal interphalangeal joint of the middle finger in six healthy adults could be as low as 0 0075, a figure of the same order as that in excised joints (Jones, 1936; Charnley, 1959). Rydell (1965) measured, in a patient fitted with a hip pros...

Motivated by the Kyle-Back model of \insider trading", we consider certain classes of linear transformations of two independent Brownian motions and study their canonical decomposition, i.e., their Doob-Meyer decomposition as semimartingales in their own ltration. In particular we characterize those transformations which generate again a Brownian motion. 1 Support of the EU through the TMR cont...
