Abstract In this paper, we study an efficient algorithm for constructing point sets underlying quasi-Monte Carlo integration rules weighted Korobov classes. The presented is a reduced fast component-by-component digit-by-digit (CBC-DBD) algorithm, which useful situations where the weights in function space show sufficiently decay. advantage of here that computational effort can be independent d...

BACKGROUND Ratio of second digit length to fourth digit length (2D:4D) has been extensively used in human and experimental research as a marker of fetal sex steroid exposure. However, very few human studies have measured the direct relationship between fetal androgen or estrogen concentrations and digit ratio. AIMS We investigated the relationships between both androgen and estrogen concentra...

Individuals with MCI declined in performance over 6 months in the Clock-drawing (Clox 1) and the WAIS Digit Span tests, but not in the Dementia Rating Scale (DRS). Individual performance on Clox 1 and Digit Span did not correlate after 6 months. Performance on the Digit Span Test also did not correlate with the DRS, but performance on Clox 1 correlated with the DRS. Performance in Clox 1 was, t...

For assessing simultaneous visual processing in dyslexic and normal readers a multi-element processing task was used which required the report of a single digit of briefly presented multi-digit arrays. Dyslexic readers exhibited higher recognition thresholds on 4- and 6-digit, but not on 2-digit arrays. Individual recognition thresholds on the multi-digit arrays were associated with number of e...

BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease patients are at an elevated risk of developing cognitive impairment. Although cognitive impairment is one of the strongest predictors of quality of life, dopaminergic anti-parkinsonian medications are designed to target motor symptoms. However, there is substantial evidence that dopamine also impacts cognition, in particular working memory. It is therefore critica...

Digit length ratios, especially the second-to-fourth digit ratio (2D : 4D), are associated with various pathological and behavioural conditions in many species including humans and are dependent upon prenatal androgen to oestrogen balance. It is unknown whether digit ratios are modified by environmental exposure to ubiquitous endocrine disruptors. We studied the effect on adult male Wistar rat ...

The right-most digit of N is 5. Thus, N is composite, and if we replace any digit of N , other than the right-most digit, with a different digit, then the new number obtained will be divisible by 5 and, hence, be composite. On the other hand, if we replace the right-most digit of N by a different digit, then we obtain one of N ± j where j ∈ {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and each of these is easily seen to be...

Reed-Solomon (RS) codecs are used for error control coding in many applications such as digital audio, digital TV, software radio, CD players, and wireless and satellite communications. This paper considers software-based implementation of RS codecs where special instructions are assumed to be used to program finite field multiplication datapaths inside a domain-specific programmable digital-si...
