The five sexes, revisited.
نویسنده
چکیده
As if from nowhere, intersexuals are materializing everywhere, and the boundaries separating the masculine and feminine seem harder than ever to define. This change has added another dimension to the debate on how to treat newborns of genital ambiguity. Reprinted from Sciences 40 (Jul/Aug 2000): 18-23. Copyright New York Academy of Sciences

High level Ab inito bench mark computaions on weak interactions (H2)2 dimer revisited
The Potential Energy Surface PES of (H2)2 dimer has been investigated, using five simple rigid rotor models. These models are called: head to head, symmetric side to side, L , steplike and T model. All calculations were done at two levels of ab initio methods: MP2(Full) and QCISD (T,Full) using cc-pVTZ basis set at singlet state of spin multiplicity. The results of scanning PES were then fitte...
متن کاملBertrand’s Paradox Revisited: More Lessons about that Ambiguous Word, Random
The Bertrand paradox question is: “Consider a unit-radius circle for which the length of a side of an inscribed equilateral triangle equals 3 . Determine the probability that the length of a ‘random’ chord of a unit-radius circle has length greater than 3 .” Bertrand derived three different ‘correct’ answers, the correctness depending on interpretation of the word, random. Here we employ geomet...
متن کاملQuantum Battle of the Sexes Revisited
Several quantum versions of the battle of the sexes game are analyzed. Some of them are shown to reproduce the classical game. In some, there are no Nash quantum pure equilibria. In some others, the payoffs are always equal to each other. In others still, all equilibria favor Alice or Bob depending on a phase shift of the initial state of the system. Explicit detailed calculations are for the f...
متن کاملQUICKSELECT Revisited
We give an overview of the running time analysis of the random divide-and-conquer algorithm FIND or QUICKSELECT. The results concern moments, distribution of FIND’s running time, the limiting distribution, a stochastic bound and the key: a stochastic fixed point equation.
متن کاملThe “Man with Serpents” revisited. On a Figurated Pin from the Bronze Age Site of Shahdad (Kerman, Iran)
We discuss a figured pin from Shahdad, previously well known but published with a partial and unsatisfactory drawing. More detailed observations and a new, more realistic recording of this important artifact reconsider its stylistic and iconographic links with the imagery of the Halil Rud civilization and the eastern Iranian Plateau in general, and, at its opposite cultural poles, with Mesopot...
