This study assesses sociodemographic characteristics, dietary intake and body image dissatisfaction (BID) among Saudi adolescent girls. A total of 399 girls ages 13-14 were randomly selected from intermediate schools in Arar, Arabia. Data on anthropometric measurements, (BI) collected. Multiple linear regression was used to predict the association between variables. Most adolescents had a norma...

Countries need to be aware of the stage of their current e-Commerce maturity for choosing the right strategy to move forward. For this purpose, we develop a country-level decision support framework to determine maturation stage of e-Commerce in a country. At first, e-Commerce maturity scores of local e-Markets in each regional e-Market are calculated using a fuzzy bi-level Technique for Order P...

Wavelet analysis has been widely applied in many fields such as image processing as well as signal representation and analysis with its unique characteristics of time-frequency localization. To use multi-wavelet in the image compression is an important aspect of the application of wavelet. However, most of the multi-scale function of the existing wavelet can meet the low-pass property and how t...

Exploiting the analogy between exemplar models and population coding schemes, we characterize, by means of information theoretic tools, the efficiency of a large but finite population of cells coding for a discrete set of categories (e.g. vowels). The optimal code is shown to typically allocate more cells to class boundaries than to regions further apart. We then discuss the predicted perceptua...

We consider the problem of designing reliable and confidential lattice codes, known as wiretap lattice codes, for fast fading channels. We identify as code design criterion for finite lattice constellations a finite sum of inverse of algebraic norms, in fact the analogous for finite sums of the known criterion for infinite constellations, which motivates us to study totally real number fields w...

Pregnancy and delivery is one of the main causes in the female body weight alteration, especially with obesity. This alteration in body weight has a significant effect not only for a femine beauty standpoint, but also for more important reproductive functions in postpartum. For the actual condition of the maternal body weight alteration and its clinical significance, we made the various analysi...

Abstract Fuzzy set (FS) theory and rough sets (RSs) are constructed to accommodate the data uncertainty. In contrast, bipolar FS (BFS) can tackle uncertainty bipolarity of in different circumstances. This article aims introduce idea fuzzy ideals semigroup (SG), which is a generalization concept BFSs (RBFSs) an SG. We also investigate roughness subsemigroup (BF-SSG) with help congruence relation...

Recently, Lechner, Hauke and Zoller [1] have proposed a quantum annealing architecture, in which a classical spin glass with all-to-all connectivity is simulated by a spin glass with geometrically local interactions. We interpret this architecture as a classical error-correcting code, which is highly robust against weakly correlated bit-flip noise. Quantum annealing [2] is a method for solving ...

We study the Mathias–Prikry and the Laver type forcings associated with filters and coideals. We isolate a crucial combinatorial property of Mathias reals, and prove that Mathias–Prikry forcings with summable ideals are all mutually bi-embeddable. We show that Mathias forcing associated with the complement of an analytic ideal does add a dominating real. We also characterize filters for which t...

Abstract: Let m, n, a1, a2, . . . , ar, b1, b2, . . . , br be integers with 1 ≤ a1 < · · · < ar ≤ m and 1 ≤ b1 < · · · < br ≤ n. And let x be the universal m× n matrix with the property that i-minors of first ai − 1 rows and first bi − 1 columns are all zero, for i = 1, . . . , r+1 (ar+1 := m+1 and br+1 := n+1). For an integer u with 1 ≤ u ≤ m, we denote by U the u×n matrix consisting of the fi...
