The fact that Markov's Theorem holds for determinate measures is often overlooked and the theorem is stated for measures with compact support as did Markov. We give a brief survey of the history of the theorem as well as a proof in the determinate case. We also prove a version of Markov's theorem in

✦ Synopsis
Yan's contribution [J. Yan, Oscillation theorems for second order linear differential equations with damping, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 98 (1986) 276-282] was an important breakthrough in the development of the Theory of Oscillation. This frequently cited paper has stimulated extensive investigations in the field. During the last decade, an integral oscillation technique has been developed to such an extent as to allow us to revisit Yan's fundamental oscillation theorem and remove one of the conditions, leaving the other assumptions and the conclusion intact, thus enhancing this keystone result.

We give a new bijective proof of Stanley's Shuffling Theorem using a more elementary approach, mapping a shuffling of two permutations to a pair of stars and bars arrangements. We conclude with a few remarks about consequences of the shuffling theorem.
