  1. Trees under attack: a Ray-Knight representation of Feller's branching diffusion with logistic growth
    Vi Le, Etienne Pardoux, and Anton Wakolbinger

    arXiv:1305.1202 [math.PR] 6 May 2013

    We obtain a representation of Feller's branching diffusion with logistic Growth in terms of the local times of a reflected Brownian motion $H$ with a Drift that is affine linear in the local time accumulated by $H$ at its current Level. As in the classical Ray-Knight representation, the excursions o...

    Quadriceps CSA was 5% smaller on the injured side. There was an indication that the muscles of the right thigh were generally bigger than those of the left thigh. The difference between the injured and the non-injured side was larger for right-sided injuries than for left-sided. There was also a gre...

    Brian D Street and William Gage

    Hum Mov Sci (2013) PMID 23623229

    The external knee adduction moment is an accurate estimation of the load distribution of the knee and is a valid predictor for the presence, severity and progression rate of medial compartment knee osteoarthritis. Gait modification strategies have been shown to be an effective means...
