Penetration depth and gap structure in the antiperovskite oxide superconductor Sr$_{3-x}$SnO revealed by $\mu$SR [PDF]
, 2020 We report a $\mu$SR study on the antiperovskite oxide superconductor Sr$_{3-x}$SnO. With transverse-field $\mu$SR, we observed the increase of the muon relaxation rate upon cooling below the superconducting transition temperature $T_{\mathrm{c}}=5.4$ K ...

Attributable Fractions for Sufficient Cause Interactions [PDF]
The International Journal of Biostatistics, 2010 A number of results concerning attributable fractions for sufficient cause interactions are given. Results are given both for etiologic fractions (i.e. the proportion of the disease due to a particular sufficient cause) and for excess fractions (i.e. the proportion of disease that could be eliminated by removing a particular sufficient cause).
