Not Just Dead Meat: An Evolutionary Account of Corpse Treatment in Mortuary Rituals

Comparing mortuary rituals across 57 representative cultures extracted from the Human Relations Area Files, this paper demonstrates that kin of the deceased engage in behaviours to prepare the deceased for disposal that entail close and often prolonged contact with the contaminating corpse. At first glance, such practices are costly and lack obvious payoffs. Building on prior functionalist appr...

Unlike printed research papers, references to WWW resources may become invalid after time. The server containing the page may be taken offline, be temporarily unavai...

Dead-block prediction & dead-block correlating prefetchers

Effective data prefetching requires accurate mechanisms to predict both “which” cache blocks to prefetch and “when” to prefetch them. This paper proposes the DeadBlock Predictors (DBPs), trace-based predictors that accurately identify “when” an L1 data cache block becomes evictable or “dead”. Predicting a dead block significantly enhances prefetching lookahead and opportunity, and enables placi...

Sex Determination of Cattle Meat by Polymerase Chain Reaction Amplification of the DEAD Box Protein (DDX3X/DDX3Y) Gene

Determination of sex origin of cattle meat by fast and reliable molecular methods is an important measure to ensure correct allocation of export refunds particularly in European countries and also female cattle (cow) slaughter is legally banned in India because of religious beliefs. Based on the DEAD box protein gene located on the X and Y chromosomes, 2 pair of primers were designed and the sy...
