Abstract Background Epilepsy is a serious chronic brain disease. However, limited study is focused on the association between dietary pattern and epilepsy management. Hence, we aim to investigate the association between the Healthy Eating Index (HEI‐2020) and epilepsy odds.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to investigate the association between methylmalonic acid (MMA) and epilepsy prevalence and to explore potential inflammatory and nutritional pathways underlying this association. Methods This study included adults aged ≥ 20 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011–2014.

Does age influence diagnostic outcomes in an adult cohort referred to a first‐seizure clinic?
Abstract Objective The aging Danish population is associated with increasing morbidity and healthcare utilization. This study examines age‐related differences in resource utilization and diagnostic outcomes between older (65–95 years) and younger adults (18–64 years) evaluated for suspected epilepsy, including clinical management, diagnostic yield, and

Complex Versus Parsimonious Site‐Based Stochastic Ground Motion Models: Which One Is Better?
ABSTRACT Stochastic ground motion models (GMMs) provide a probabilistic representation of seismic input and are increasingly important for uncertainty quantification (UQ) in earthquake engineering. This study focuses on site‐based stochastic GMMs, which learn the statistical features of selected datasets of seismic records and generate statistically ...

Cubic spline functions revisited
In this paper a fourth order asymptotically optimal error bound for a new cubic interpolating spline function, denoted by Q-spline, is derived for the case that only function values at given points are used but not any derivative information. The bound seems to be stronger than earlier error bounds for cubic spline interpolation in such setting such as

Variance‐Empirical Mode Decomposition Method for Fault Detection in MMC‐HVDC Transmission Lines
A variance‐embedded empirical mode decomposition (VEMD) method is proposed for fast and accurate fault detection in MMC‐HVDC transmission lines. By combining variance analysis with EMD, the method reliably detects various faults without communication links and remains robust to noise and non‐fault transients.
