Big-bodied males help us recognize that females have big pelves

Can big data help us close an epilepsy care gap?

Epilepsy has been termed an “ambulatory care sensitive condition,” meaning that high-quality outpatient epilepsy care can reduce unnecessary emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations. Using this framework, high ED use is a marker of poor disease control or limited access to care. Do all people with epilepsy (PWE) with poorly controlled disease or limited access frequent the ED? Are ...

STRUCTURAL OPTIMIZATION USING BIG BANG-BIG CRUNCH ALGORITHM: A REVIEW

The big bang-big crunch (BB-BC) algorithm is a popular metaheuristic optimization technique proposed based on one of the theories for the evolution of the universe. The algorithm utilizes a two-phase search mechanism: big-bang phase and big-crunch phase. In the big-bang phase the concept of energy dissipation is considered to produce disorder and randomness in the candidate population while in ...

Estimation of parameters of metal-oxide surge arrester models using Big Bang-Big Crunch and Hybrid Big Bang-Big Crunch algorithms

Metal oxide surge arrester accurate modeling and its parameter identification are very important for insulation coordination studies, arrester allocation and system reliability. Since quality and reliability of lightning performance studies can be improved with the more efficient representation of the arresters´ dynamic behavior. In this paper, Big Bang – Big Crunch and Hybrid Big Bang – Big Cr...

Most Hyperelliptic Curves Have Big Monodromy

ρf,` : Gal(k̄/k)→ Aut(Jf [`](k̄)) ' GL2g(F`) on the `-torsion points of Jf is as big as possible for almost all primes `, if the following two (sufficient) conditions hold: (1) the endomorphism ring of Jf is Z; (2) for some prime ideal p ⊂ Zk, the fiber over p of the Néron model of Cf is a smooth curve except for a single ordinary double point. These conditions can be translated concretely in ter...
