Small-for-size syndrome in LT

Optimal Degree Distributions for LT Codes in Small Cases

On LT Codes with Decreasing Ripple Size

In the orignal work on LT codes by Luby, the ripple size during decoding was designed to be approximately constant. In fact, the Ideal Soliton and the Robust Soliton distributions were designed to yield an approximately unit ripple size and a fixed ripple size greater than one, respectively. In this work, the redundancy within an LT code is characterized, and it is found that a decreasing rippl...

Sexual Medicine PENILE SIZE AND THE SMALL PENIS SYNDROME WYLIE and EARDLEY Penile size and the ‘small penis syndrome’

excessive, might present as the ‘small penis syndrome’, an obsessive rumination with compulsive checking rituals, body dysmorphic disorder, or as part of a psychosis. However, it is often a worry that can be described as within the normal experience of many men. Various potential causal factors are considered. A thorough assessment, normalizing the worry and then exploring the treatment options...

Energy and field size dependence of a silicon diode designed for small-field dosimetry

Purpose: To investigate the energy dependence/spectral sensitivity of silicon diodes designed for small-field dosimetry and obtain response factors (RFs) for arbitrary photon spectra using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations.   Methods: The EGSnrc user-code DOSRZnrc was used to calculate the dose deposition in water and in the active volume of a stereotactic diode f...

Small-for-size graft in liver transplantation.

Controversies on small-for-size (SFS) graft in liver transplantation have evolved in parallel with the history of living donor liver transplantation for adults. It is true that the liver regenerates rapidly within a limited threshold. But 'normal' liver weight itself is variable and the influences of variable liver graft and extrahepatic factors are not negligible in pathological condition. Cli...
