Michael Mitton\u27s Merman.
No full textPublished 1994, by the George Cleeve Family Association. Reprinted 1997.
The author relates the tale of Michael Mitton\u27s sighting of a mermaid or triton in Casco Bay in the 1630s, and explores the idea that it could have been a marine mammal such as a manatee that had strayed into northern waters.

Speed effect on cortical bone Speed effects on the mechanical properties of cortical bone. Challenges for fracture risk prediction?
No full text« Open your mind seminar » Biomedical Engineering Master, PARIS, FRANCE, 13-/01/2017 - 13/01/2017David Mitton is interested in fracture risk prediction. He has developed expertise in tissue biomechanics. His current research topic concerns speed effect on cortical bone mechanical properties. The lecture will focus on bone fractures related to falls, representing 90% of the fractures. The influence of the fall loading on the mechanical properties of cortical bone will be assessed according to the anatomical sites. In a near future, this knowledge will be used in biomechanical models to better predict fracture risk in order to bring more discriminant tools to the clinicians for their diagnosis

synthReturn: synthetic matching method for returns
No full textImplements the revised Synthetic Matching Algorithm of Kreitmeir, Lane, and Raschky (2025), building on the original approach of Acemoglu, Johnson, Kermani, Kwak, and Mitton (2016), to estimate the cumulative treatment effect of an event on treated firms’ stock returns
Subject-specific body segment parameters' estimation using biplanar X-rays: a feasibility study
No full textIn order to improve the reliability of children's models, the aim of this study was to determine the subject-specific masses and 3D locations of the centres of mass (CoM) of body segments using biplanar X-rays. Previous methods, validated on upper leg segments, were applied to the whole body. Six children and six adults were studied. The low-dose X-ray system EOS® was used to simultaneously get head-to-foot biplanar X-rays in the upright position. Specific methods were used to get 3D reconstructions of bones and body shape. The densities from the literature were used to define the masses. To assess the accuracy of the reconstructions, a force plate was used to compare the mass and the projection of the CoM. A mean distance of 4.5 mm between the measured and the calculated projections of the CoM was found. The mean error between the estimated and the actual body mass was 2.6%. Such a method will be useful in obtaining the body segment parameters in children, hard to obtain using direct measurement techniques.Baptiste Sandoz, Sébastien Laporte, Wafa Skalli and David Mitto
Ordering the suggestions of a spellchecker without using context.
No full textHaving located a misspelling, a spellchecker generally offers some suggestions for the intended word. Even without using context, a spellchecker can draw on various types of information in ordering its suggestions. A series of experiments is described, beginning with a basic corrector that implements a well-known algorithm for reversing single simple errors, and making successive enhancements to take account of substring matches, pronunciation, known error patterns, syllable structure and word frequency. The improvement in the ordering produced by each enhancement is measured on a large corpus of misspellings. The final version is tested on other corpora against a widely used commercial spellchecker and a research prototype
