Although much research has explored the adaptive problems of mate selection and mate attraction, little research has investigated the adaptive problem of mate retention. We tested several evolutionary psychological hypotheses about the determinants of mate retention in 214 married people. We assessed the usage of 19 mate retention tactics ranging from vigilance to violence. Key hypothesized fin...

In ninny real-life situations, we have the fi~llowing problen|: we want it) know the vahle ~)f ~)n|e characteristic U that is diffiodt to measure directly (e.g., lifetin|e of a pavement, effidency of an engine, etc.). To esti|mate U, we mug know the relationship between 9 and aane directly measurable physical quamities X h . . . , xn. Fro|n this relationship, we extract an algorithm f that alh|...

We consider the problem of subspace estimation in aBayesian setting. Since we are operating in the Grassmann man-ifold, the usual approach which consists of minimizing the meansquare error (MSE) between the true subspace and its estimatemay not be adequate as the MSE is not the natural metric in theGrassmann manifold , i.e., the set of -dimensional subspacesin . As an al...

Currently the preferred method for implementing H esti mation algorithms is what is called the array form and includes two main families square root array algorithms which are typically more stable than conventional ones and fast array algorithms which when the system is time invariant typically o er an order of magnitude reduction in the com putational e ort Using our recent observation that H...

Three hundred commensal Escherichia coli recovered from healthy herbivorous, carnivorous, and omnivorous mammals from one zoo were characterized for their phylogenetic origin, intestinal virulence gene (VG) prevalence, and genomic diversity. The phylogenetic structure of the E. coli (groups A, B1, B2, and D) from the herbivores was homogenous, with a prevailing representation of group B1. In th...

Although a growing number of empirical studies have revealed that activating mate-related motives might exert a specific set of consequences for human cognition and behaviors, such as attention and memory, little is known about whether mate-related motives affect self-regulated learning. The present study examined the effects of mate-related motives (mate-search and mate-guarding) on study-time...

background regarding the process of increasing the divorce rate in recent years and youth population, the awareness among the youth, especially the university students, about marriage and criteria of choosing a right partner for proper planning to preserve family is of great importance. objectives the aim of this study was to investigate the viewpoint of unmarried students of semnan university ...

483 peripheral microcirculatory blood flow on a large area of the body.1 LSCI is user‐friendly and shows very good reproducibility as well as excellent spa‐ tial and temporal resolutions.2 In clinical studies, LSCI coupled with reactivity tests enable to esti‐ mate the endothelial and neurovascular function. We present the measurements of skin per‐ fusion assessed by LSCI in patients with pri‐ ...

We present novel macromodel ing techniques for estimating the energy dissi pated and peak current drawn in a logic cir cuit for every input vector pair we call this the energy per cycle and peak current per cycle respec tively The macromodels are based on clas sifying the input vector pairs on the basis of their Hamming distances and using a di erent equation based macromodel for every Hamming ...
