Born Large for Gestational Age: Bigger Is Not Always Better.
D uring the past 60-90 years, there has been a change in the growth trajectories of large for gestational age (LGA) babies and the associated health effects later in life. Subjects classified as large at birth in the 1920s were found to have reduced morbidity and mortality in their seventh decade compared with those born of lower birth weight. Indeed, across the birth weight range there was a p...
متن کاملIs Bigger Always Better ? The Effect of Size on Defaults
Analyzing a large sample of Italian firms we find that the probability of default increases with size. This contrasts with the common observation, based on measures of exit from business registry data, that firms’ death rate is inversely related to the scale of their operation and suggests a rethinking of the economic role of larger companies. We gratefully acknowledge financial support from MI...
متن کامل802.11 Buffers: When Bigger Is Not Better?
While there have been considerable advances in the modelling of 802.11’s MAC layer in recent years, 802.11 with finite buffer space is considered difficult to analyse. In this paper, we study the impact of finite buffers’ effect on the 802.11 performance, in view of the requirements of interactive applications sensitive to delay and packet loss. Using both state-of-the art and simplified queuei...
متن کاملBody mass and individual fitness in female ungulates: bigger is not always better.
In female vertebrates, differences in fitness often correspond to differences in phenotypic quality, suggesting that larger females have greater fitness. Variation in individual fitness can result from variation in life span and/or variation in yearly reproductive success, but no study has yet assessed the relationships between the components of fitness and phenotypic quality while controlling ...
متن کاملBigger is Not Always Better: on the Quality of Hypotheses in Active Automata Learning
In Angluin’s L∗ algorithm a learner constructs a sequence of hypotheses in order to learn a regular language. Each hypothesis is consistent with a larger set of observations and is described by a bigger model. From a behavioral perspective, however, a hypothesis is not always better than the previous one, in the sense that the minimal length of a counterexample that distinguishes a hypothesis f...
