This set of notes contains a basic outline of the most relevant aspects of particle velocity distributions in the solar corona, and how they have an impact on the spectral lines that are observed by UVCS/SOHO. It also provides documentation for the CUES numerical code which computes model coronal lines from input velocity distribution parameters. These notes were originally written for undergra...

When one preparing a first draft, concentrating on content creation or summarizing lecture notes, pencil and paper are often favored over the keyboard. Although in some cases (e.g. when copying text into a document or trying to organize written text) keyboard has a significant advantage over handwriting, in others it can cause difficulties, e.g. when writing lecture notes when equations, graphs...

In these notes, we follow the proof in [1] of the main conjecture of Iwasawa theory making heavy use of the Euler system of cyclotomic units. On the one hand, using the local theory of Coleman series and ideas of Iwasawa one obtains a connection with the p-adic zeta function. On the other hand by CFT and Rubin’s refinement of the ideas of Kolyvagin (and the analytic class number formula) one ob...

Preface These lectures were delivered at Saarland University in 2009. They focus on the analysis of stochastic models in systems biology. Knowledge of basic mathematical concepts is a prerequisites for understanding these lecture notes. The necessary background in systems biology and probability theory is part of these notes. We use hyperlinks to Wikipedia pages to encourage students to explore...

Despite efforts to develop models for extracting medical concepts from clinical notes, there are still some challenges in particular be able relate dates. The high number of notes written each single patient, the use negation, speculation, and different date formats cause ambiguity that has solved reconstruct patient’s natural history. In this paper, we concentrate on narratives cancer diagnosi...

This paper examines the role of physicians’ progress notes in the professional socialization of medical residents. As a component of their specialty training, residents are principally responsible for making the physician entries in the medical charts of the patients who are under the joint care of the residents and the hospital’s medical staff. This includes the initial physician chart entry, ...

Introduction. The Royal College of Surgeons in England published guidelines in 2008 outlining the information that should be documented at each surgery. St. James's Hospital uses a standard operation sheet for all surgical procedures and these were examined to assess documentation standards. Objectives. To retrospectively audit the hand written orthopaedic operative notes according to establish...
