Critics of big data are picking holes in its validity as a concept, but there is a problem with their arguments around data volume - it is speed, not size, that defines big data in 2013.
Biological systems are capable of correcting certain disturbances provoked by exposure to chemicals; however, the challenge lies in establishing a relevant effect size that defines the borderline between effect and no effect in a biological or toxicologic sense, and not a statistical sense.
After a statistical survey conducted on a large number of text books and newspapers [63], we found that the most frequent font sizes that define the baseline of the documents are 10, 12, and 14pt.
Quartz exhibits undulatory extinction and occurs as an interpenetrative mosaic of almost equal grains, up to 1 mm in size that defines ribbons parallel to foliation planes.
Although it is well documented that the influence of landscape structure on floods decreases as flood size increases, studies that define a threshold flood-return period, above which landscape features such as topography, land cover and impoundments can curtail floods, are lacking.
The size of the spheres that define the stakeholders is determined by the perception of the founding entrepreneur.
Such methods will be capable of designing not only the constituent materials and their interactions, but also the morphology of the shape, size, surfaces and interfaces that define the heterogeneity and the resulting functional response of the material system.
We have defined and discussed analysis methods that will be capable of designing not only the constituent materials and their interactions, but also the morphology of the shape, size, surfaces and interfaces that define the heterogeneity and the resulting functional response of the functional material system.
In ground-breaking studies by O'Donoghue et al. [ 16] and Nahum [ 17], it was shown that dose, particle range and tumour size are important factors that define the probability of cure with radionuclides.
The TFC contains information about the modulation (QPSK or 16QAM), the number of used codes (from 1 to 15), and the coding rate resulting in a certain transport block size (TBS) that defines the information bits transmitted during a TTI.
