Among the defined sexual perversions, two emerged from the literary laboratory and bear the names of authors. As is well known, the term sadism refers back to Donatien Alphonse François, the Marquis de Sade (1740–1814). Leaving aside some excesses in the Lacoste ancestral castle and in Paris, Sade’s sadism basically involved a monumental prison-fantasy. For its part, the term masochism has an A...

Adaptation and hybridization typically improve the performances of original algorithm. This paper proposes a novel hybrid self-adaptive cuckoo search algorithm, which extends the original cuckoo search by adding three features, i.e., a balancing the exploration search strategies within the cuckoo search algorithm, a self-adaptation of cuckoo search control parameters and a linear population red...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of the magnetic resonance (MR) conditional pacemaker (PM) system (Evia SR-T and DR-T with Safio S leads) under MR conditions. METHODS Patients with standard PM indications and Evia PM were eligible for enrollment in this single center prospective non-randomized pilot study. Patients underwent MR of the brain and lower lumbar...

widely spread, notably in scholarly publications and in the advertising trades, than would seem likely for a "secret malady". Yet reference to it was far more heavily censured than in the rather sexually free-wheeling late seventeenth century, when the disease had wielded a powerful charge as political metaphor-the gaze on the diseased bodily constitution could subtly shift to meditation on the...

In this paper, an improved DE is proposed to improve optimization performance by involving four searching strategies: current-to-better mutation, real-random-mutation, sharing mutation, and focused search. When evolution speed is standstill, sharing mutation can increase the search depth; in addition, real-random mutation can disturb individuals and can help individuals diverge to local optimum...
