Sequence of Chemotherapy May Not Impact Survival After Resection of Pancreatic Tail Adenocarcinoma
Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) of the body/tail is notably different than PDAC in the head of the pancreas. Surgery plus chemotherapy is known to improve outcomes for all PDAC. The sequence of this therapy is well studied in head cancers yet has never been evaluated systematically in relation to distal pancreatectomy (DP).

Entropy, Information Matrix and order statistics of Multivariate Pareto, Burr and related distributions [PDF]
arXiv, 2004 In this paper we derive the exact analytical expressions for the information and covariance matrices of the multivariate Burr and related distributions. These distributions arise as tractable parametric models in reliability, actuarial science, economics, finance and telecommunications.

Risk, Hazards &Crisis in Public Policy, EarlyView.Abstract Near‐earth orbits are becoming congested because of a rapid growth in the number of satellites and space debris, which presents a real threat to the sustainable use of space and the safety of the Earth. Despite space scientists and public policymakers having been actively seeking solutions for decades, solving the problem has been put off ...

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.Abstract It is not uncommon that original aspirations of social policy go astray during implementation. Issues that are the focus of social policy are often tied to various competing social, political, and value positions, making them unfailingly ‘wicked’ and rendering the design and implementation of solutions inherently challenging.

The Old Regime (of Mutualisation) and the Revolution (of Big Data)
The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In his classic work L'ancien régime et la révolution, Alexis de Tocqueville proposes a reinterpretation of the French Revolution: behind the spectacular ruptures associated with the event, profound continuities are at play. Beyond the specific case of the French Revolution, Tocqueville calls for vigilance in mobilizing the notion of revolution

An Algorithm for Computing the Distribution Function of the Generalized Poisson-Binomial Distribution [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 The Poisson-binomial distribution is useful in many applied problems in engineering, actuarial science, and data mining. The Poisson-binomial distribution models the distribution of the sum of independent but not identically distributed Bernoulli random variables whose success probabilities vary.
