The Sieve Re-Imagined: Integer Factorization Methods

In this paper, I explain the Quadratic Sieve, its Multiple Polynomial variation, the Number Field Sieve, and give some worked examples of the afore-mentioned algorithms. Using my own Maple implementation of the Quadratic Sieve, I explore the effect of altering one of the parameters of the Quadratic Sieve algorithm, with respect to both time and success rate.

Ring-tailed lemurs: a species re-imagined.

For over 50 years, ring-tailed lemurs have been studied continuously in the wild. As one of the most long-studied primate species, the length and breadth of their study is comparable to research on Japanese macaques, baboons and chimpanzees. They are also one of the most broadly observed of all primates, with comprehensive research conducted on their behaviour, biology, ecology, genetics, palae...

Treatment of imagined ugliness

Greek dysmorphia, meaning ugliness (expressly of the face) was first coined by Morselli in the late19th century. He described a subjective feeling of a physical defect which the patient feels is noticeable to others, although his appearance is within normal limits. Dysmorphophobia first appeared in the US psychiatric nosology (as an atypical somatoform disorder) in 1980, with the publication of...

The Imagined Moment

Searching Imagined Environments

Subjects read narratives describing directions of objects around a standing or reclimng observer, who was periodically reoriented. RTs were measured to identify which object was currently located beyond the observer's head, feet, front, back, fight, and left. When the observer was standing, head/feet RTs were fastest, followed by front/back and then right/left. For the reclining observer, front...
