Repeating behaviour of FRB 121102: periodicity, waiting times, and energy distribution [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
Detections from the repeating fast radio burst FRB 121102 are clustered in time, noticeable even in the earliest repeat bursts. Recently, it was argued that the source activity is periodic, suggesting that the clustering reflected a not-yet-identified ...

Dynamic Layout Design Optimization to Improve Patient Flow in Outpatient Clinics Using Genetic Algorithms

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2022
Evolutionary algorithms, such as genetic algorithms have been used in various optimization problems. In this paper, we propose to apply this algorithm to obtain the layout design/redesign in order to improve the patient flow in an outpatient clinic ...

Probabilistic Forecasting of Patient Waiting Times in an Emergency Department [PDF]

open access: yesManufacturing & Service Operations Management, 2020
Problem definition: We study the estimation of the probability distribution of individual patient waiting times in an emergency department (ED). Whereas it is known that waiting-time estimates can help improve patients’ overall satisfaction and prevent ...

Measuring access: how accurate are patient-reported waiting times? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Introduction: A national audit of waiting times in England’s genitourinary medicine clinics measures patient access. Data are collected by patient questionnaires, which rely upon patients’ recollection of first contact with health services, often several

Electron waiting times in coherent conductors are correlated [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We evaluate the joint distributions of electron waiting times in coherent conductors described by scattering theory. Successive electron waiting times in a single-channel conductor are found to be correlated due to the fermionic statistics encoded in the
