Hospital Pediatrics, 2017 “In God we trust, all others bring data.” This pithy quote from Edwards Deming, 1 of the fathers of quality improvement (QI), speaks to the centrality of data and measurement in QI. Early on hospitalists realized that QI in the hospital setting was key to their value proposition and return on investment strategy.

On the distribution of Atkin and Elkies primes for reductions of elliptic curves on average [PDF]
, 2015 For an elliptic curve E/Q without complex multiplication we study the distribution of Atkin and Elkies primes l, on average, over all good reductions of E modulo primes p.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1996 We use Voiculescu’s free probability theory to prove the existence of prime factors, hence answering a longstanding problem in the theory of von Neumann algebras.

Variants on Andrica’s Conjecture with and without the Riemann Hypothesis
Mathematics, 2018 The gap between what we can explicitly prove regarding the distribution of primes and what we suspect regarding the distribution of primes is enormous. It is (reasonably) well-known that the Riemann hypothesis is not sufficient to prove Andrica’s ...

Characterization of prime and composite numbers using the notion of successive sum of integers and the consequence in primality testing [PDF]
Notes on Number Theory and Discrete MathematicsIn this paper, we give a characterization of primes and composite natural numbers using the notion of the sum of successive natural numbers. We prove essentially that an odd natural number N≥3 is prime if and only if the unique decomposition of N as a ...

Real-life helping behaviours in North America: A genome-wide association approach.
PLoS ONE, 2018 In humans, prosocial behaviour is essential for social functioning. Twin studies suggest this distinct human trait to be partly hardwired. In the last decade research on the genetics of prosocial behaviour focused on neurotransmitters and neuropeptides ...

On the extensions of two arithmetical functions and some of their properties [PDF]
Notes on Number Theory and Discrete MathematicsIn the paper, an extension of the well-known Jordan's totient function and generalized Dedekind psi-function are proposed and some properties of theirs are studied.

New Proof That the Sum of the Reciprocals of Primes Diverges
Mathematics, 2020 In this paper, we give a new proof of the divergence of the sum of the reciprocals of primes using the number of distinct prime divisors of positive integer n, and the placement of lattice points on a hyperbola given by n=pr with prime number p.

Create your own stimulus: Manipulating movements according to social categories. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 People ascribe purposeful behaviour to the movements of artificial objects and social qualities to human body motion. We investigated how people associate simple motion cues with social categories.

Congruences for Taylor expansions of quantum modular forms [PDF]
, 2014 Recently, a beautiful paper of Andrews and Sellers has established linear congruences for the Fishburn numbers modulo an infinite set of primes. Since then, a number of authors have proven refined results, for example, extending all of these congruences ...
