Stemming from the work by Marzio Barbagli, present essay aims at investigating Western sexual morality focusing on study of history prostitution in Nineteen and Twentieth centuries. In this sense, it will show how positivist medical anthropological theories, heirs ancient gender prejudices, were able to convey values a that, one hand, legitimated exercise female as phenomenon necessary ward man...

In this paper, symbol-by-symbol maximum likelihood (ML) detection is proposed for a cooperative diffusionbased molecular communication (MC) system. In this system, a fusion center (FC) chooses the transmitter (TX) symbol that is more likely, given the likelihood of its observations from multiple receivers (RXs), where the TX sends a common information symbol to all RXs. The transmission of a se...

The processing complexity of optimal receivers in frequency selective channels grows exponentially with the channel memory length. Linear receivers, alternatively, offer significantly less complexity with the cost of performance degradation. Such degradation can be due to not fully capturing the inherent frequency diversity or degraded coding gain. In this paper we investigate how effectively t...

Symbol-by-symbol maximum a posteriori (MAP) decoding algorithms for linear nonbinary block and convolutional codes over both extension elds GF(q = p a) and integer rings Z q are presented. Equivalent MAP decoding rules employing the dual code are given which are computationally more eecient for high-rate codes. The suitabil-ity of the proposed algorithms is demonstrated by applying them to a pa...

Healthcare facilities are often complex and overwhelming for visitors, and wayfinding in healthcare facilities can be challenging. As there is an increasing number of global citizens who travel to seek medical care in another country, it is critical to make wayfinding easy for visitors who are not familiar with the language in a foreign country. Among many wayfinding aids, symbols are helpful f...

place is a part of geographical space and a base for establishment of social relations. each place is unique according to its specific properties, functions and history. meanwhile, some places find symbol identity due to their especial historical events and properties and this identity would be maintained in the minds and moved to the other generations. for example azadi tower in tehran and sav...

syntax rules Abstract syntax rules from the language definition are directly translated to the ASM notation, using certain conventions that will be explained by examples. Basically, an abstract syntax rule can be understood as declaring one or more (tuple) domains, and defining functions to construct and select values of the component domains. However, syntax nodes have an identity as opposed t...

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSdProspective cohort analysis of data from the ACCORD trial included 2,956 adults aged $55 years with type 2 diabetes and additional cardiovascular risk factors. Cognitive tests (Digit Symbol Substitution Test [DSST], Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test, Stroop Test, and Mini Mental Status Examination) were conducted at baseline and 20 months. Study outcomes were inciden...
