In Bayesian signal processing, all the information about the unknowns of interest is contained in their posterior distributions. The unknowns can be parameters of a model, or a model and its parameters. In many important problems, these distributions are impossible to obtain in analytical form. An alternative is to generate their approximations by Monte Carlo-based methods like Markov chain Mon...

As a major aim of incarceration is to reduce crime, it is important to understand the extent to which it does so. Isolating the effect of prison on crime can be difficult because of reverse causation: higher crime rates also tend to lead to larger prison populations. This paper utilizes state legislated reductions in the prison population to address this question. These policy changes were adop...

Despite data indicating that child maltreatment (CM) in various forms is associated with adult sexual victimization among community women, few studies have explicitly explored how types of CM might relate to prison sexual victimization. Because little is known about how CM might give rise to prison sexual victimization, the present study also examined emotion dysregulation emanating from early ...

Objective(s): Quince seed mucilage (QSM) serves as a new source of hydrocolloid which extracted from outer pericarp of Cydonia oblonga seeds upon wetting. It has been traditionally used for the treatment of diseases such as pharyngeal disorder, common cold, colic ulcer, and diarrhea. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the physico-mechanical and antimicrobial properties of quince seed ...
