Spine surgeons: spine industry [PDF]
European Spine Journal, 2007 Spine surgeons and the spine industry are intimately related. There has been a significant amount of bad press and some apparent Academic/Medical Society repercussions and/or negative aspersions when research is reported which has been supported from industry grants [7, 8, 10, 11, 14, 16]. My bias is that industry funds are not (or need not) be bad, or

A strong law of large numbers for branching processes: almost sure spine events [PDF]
, 2013 We demonstrate a novel strong law of large numbers for branching processes, with a simple proof via measure-theoretic manipulations and spine theory. Roughly speaking, any sequence of events that eventually occurs almost surely for the spine entails the ...
