Dental dams in dermatology: An underutilized barrier method of protection [PDF]
International Journal of Women's Dermatology, 2022 Dental dams are a barrier method of protection, which may help prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections during oral-vaginal or oral-anal sex. Despite their relative simplicity of use, data on dental dams are limited and patients infrequently

Barrier subgradient method [PDF]
Mathematical Programming, 2010 In this paper we develop a new primal-dual subgradient method for nonsmooth convex optimization problems. This scheme is based on a self-concordant barrier for the basic feasible set. It is suitable for finding approximate solutions with certain relative

Self-Scaling Variable Metric in Constrained Optimization [PDF]
Al-Rafidain Journal of Computer Sciences and Mathematics, 2020 In this paper, we investigated of a new self-scaling by use quasi-Newton method and conjugate gradient method. The new algorithm satisfies a quasi-newton condition and mutually conjugate, and practically proved its efficiency when compared with the well ...

Barrier methods of contraception
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1985 This general discussion of the value of barrier methods of contraception makes several points in the context of the British health care system. The physician should aid the couple in making an informed decision by listening. He should not let his opinions interfere for example by dissuading a man from using a condom.

New Initial Parameter for the Constrained Optimization Method [PDF]
Al-Rafidain Journal of Computer Sciences and Mathematics, 2006 In this paper, we have investigated a new initial parameter in the nonlinear constrained optimization method. The aim of this new method is to make a balance between interior and exterior method for constrained optimization.
