This article reviews the most significant milestones
in CAD methodologies for intelligent EM-based modeling and
design optimization using artificial neural networks and space
mapping. We consider knowledge-based and automatic neural
network model generation based on advanced data sampling
algorithms. Computationally…

The United States is struggling to provide health care in the face of ever increasing demand. As medical students continue their decades long march toward specialization, questions of how to provide generalist care become quickly intertwined with that of who…

The goal of this project was two-fold: first, to improve the performance of machine learning
algorithms for the diagnosis of pediatric tuberculosis, and second, to use machine learning algorithms
to better understand the problem of diagnosis. We constructed and examined…

Academic-industry partnerships in biomedical research come in many forms, but
those that occur around clinical research are the most prominent. Researchers at academic
medical centers have historically conducted a large proportion of industry-sponsored
clinical trials, as they alone had the…

The contributors to 'Domestic Service And the Formation of European Identity: Understanding the Globalization of Domestic Work, 16th-21st Centuries' analyze the situation of domestic workers in both the past and present, contributing to existing knowledge concerning their individual characteristics, origins,…

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan forced a revolution in military thinking that brought
stability operations to the forefront while coloring the military as one-part warrior, one part reluctant architect of peace. Despite years of experience in stability operations of…

The third generation of hip resurfacing commenced in the U.K. in the 1990’s with the Birmingham
Hip Resurfacing system and is now becoming more commonplace as an attractive alternative for
young and active patients due to premature failure in total…
