Attempts have been made to assess the degree of mitral obstruction in mitral stenosis by analysing the diastolic part of indirect left atrial pressure tracings (Owen and Wood, 1955). These pressure tracings have been obtained using a cardiac catheter in the pulmonary artery in the " wedge " position, and available evidence suggests that direct left atrial pressure tracings are comparable to ind...
Drawing on insights about the geometric structure of majority rule spatial voting games with Euclidean preferences derived from the Shapley– Owen value (Shapley and Owen, Int J Game Theory 18:339–356, 1989), we seek to explain why the outcomes of experimental committee majority rule spatial voting games are overwhelmingly located within the uncovered set (Bianco et al. We suggest that it is not...
Owen inverted a goodness of fit statistic due to Berk and Jones to obtain confidence bands for a distribution function using Noé’s recursion. As argued by Owen, the resulting bands are narrower in the tails and wider in the center than the classical Kolmogorov-Smirnov bands and have certain advantages related to the optimality theory connected with the test statistic proposed by Berk and Jones....
We show that arbitrary phase space vector fields can be used to generate phase functions whose ensemble averages give the thermodynamic temperature. We describe conditions for the validity of these functions in periodic boundary systems and the Molecular Dynamics (MD) ensemble, and test them with a short-ranged potential MD simulation. 05.20.-y 05.20.Gd Typeset using REVTEX 1
