We show how to recover Euler's formula for $\zeta(2n)$, as well as $L_{\chi_4}(2n+1)$, for any integer $n$, from the knowledge of the density of the product $\mathbb{C}_1,\mathbb{C}_2\ldots,\mathbb{C}_k$, for any $k\geq 1$, where the $\mathbb{C}_i$'s are independent standard Cauchy variables.

Some probabilistic aspects of the number variance statistic are investigated. Infinite systems of independent Brownian motions and symmetric alpha-stable processes are used to construct explicit new examples of processes which exhibit both divergent and saturating number variance behaviour. We derive…

This paper offers an explanation of rationally contracts where incompeteness refers to unforeseen contingencies. Agents enter a relationship with two-sided moral hazard in which a commitment to discard parts of the joint resources may be ex ante efficient.

Clinicians, researchers, public health officials, infection control officers, travel medicine practitioners and many other medical professionals are constantly being bombarded with information about new journals and web sites. The array of new information is overwhelming. The National Library of Medicine…

BACKGROUND:Global health research is essential for development. A major issue is the inequitable distribution of research efforts and funds directed towards populations suffering the world's greatest health problems. This imbalance is fostering major attempts at redirecting research to the health…

This paper uses longitudinal data from a survey of youth in three areas (Hamilton, Halifax and rural Nova Scotia) to examine the factors that affect young adults' participation in postsecondary education, applying Bourdieu's notions of capital and habitus. Data were…
