ABSTRACT Objective Sleep spindles are an electrophysiological fingerprint of the sleeping human brain. They can be described in terms of duration, frequency, amplitude, and density, and vary widely according to age and sex. Spindles play a role in sleep and wake functions and are altered in several neurological and psychiatric disorders.

On the Interrelation between Dependence Coefficients of Extreme Value Copulas [PDF]
For extreme value copulas with a known upper tail dependence coefficient we find pointwise upper and lower bounds, which are used to establish upper and lower bounds of the Spearman and Kendall correlation coefficients. We shown that in all cases the lower bounds are attained on Marshall--Olkin copulas, and the upper ones, on copulas with piecewise ...

Extremal problems for ordered (hyper)graphs: applications of Davenport-Schinzel sequences [PDF]
We introduce a containment relation of hypergraphs which respects linear orderings of vertices and investigate associated extremal functions. We extend, by means of a more generally applicable theorem, the n.log n upper bound on the ordered graph extremal function of F=({1,3}, {1,5}, {2,3}, {2,4}) due to Z.

Upper-Extremity Injuries are the 2nd Most Common Workplace Injuries from 1992 to 2018 [PDF]
Musculoskeletal injuries occur frequently in the workplace, yet it is unclear whether upper-extremity, lower-extremity, or trunk injuries are the most prevalent. We hypothesize that: (1) trunk injuries are the most common in the overall workplace, and (2)
