 | Bromley, Benjamin C. | Binary disruption by massive black holes: hypervelocity stars, S stars, and tidal disruption events | We examine whether disrupted binary stars can fuel black hole growth. In this mechanism, tidal disruption produces a single hypervelocity star (HVS) ejected at high velocity and a former companion star bound to the black hole. After a cluster of bound stars forms, orbital diffusion allows the black ... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Roy, Nelson | Case-control study of risk factors for spasmodic dysphonia: a comparison with other voice disorders | Objectives: This epidemiology study examined risk factors uniquely associated with spasmodic dysphonia (SD). Study Design: Case-control. Methods: A questionnaire was administered to 150 patients with SD (with and without coexisting vocal tremor) and 136 patients with other structural, neurological, ... | 2012-01-01 | |
