Adaptive Markov Chain Monte Carlo Forward Simulation for Statistical Analysis in Epidemic Modelling of Human Papillomavirus [PDF]

arXiv, 2011
We develop a Bayesian statistical model and estimation methodology based on Forward Projection Adaptive Markov chain Monte Carlo in order to perform the calibration of a high-dimensional non-linear system of Ordinary Differential Equations representing an epidemic model for Human Papillomavirus types 6 and 11 (HPV-6, HPV-11). The model is compartmental

Human Sexual Dimorphism of the Relative Cerebral Area Volumes in the Data of the Human Connectome Project [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
The average human brain volume of the males is larger than that of the females. Several MRI voxel-based morphometry studies show that the gray matter/white matter ratio is larger in females. Here we have analyzed the recent public release of the Human Connectome Project, and by using the diffusion MRI data of 511 subjects (209 men and 302 women), we ...

Life Histories of Taboo Knowledge Artifacts [PDF]

Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction 2024
Communicating about some vital topics -- such as sexuality and health -- is treated as taboo and subjected to censorship. How can we construct knowledge about these topics? Wikipedia is home to numerous high-quality knowledge artifacts about taboo topics like sexual organs and human reproduction. How did these artifacts come into being?

Current Trends and Future Directions for Sexual Health Conversational Agents (CAs) for Youth: A Scoping Review [PDF]

arXiv
Conversational Agents (CAs, chatbots) are systems with the ability to interact with users using natural human dialogue. While much of the research on CAs for sexual health has focused on adult populations, the insights from such research may not apply to CAs for youth.

Exploring the Pathways of Adaptation an Avatar 3D Animation Procedures and Virtual Reality Arenas in Research of Human Courtship Behaviour and Sexual Reactivity in Psychological Research [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
There are many reasons for utilising 3D animation and virtual reality in sexuality research. Apart from providing a mean with which to (re)experience certain situations there are four main advantages: a) bespoke animated stimuli can be created and customized, which is especially important when researching paraphilia and sexual preferences, b) stimulus ...

Human Sexual Cycles are Driven by Culture and Match Collective Moods [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
It is a long-standing question whether human sexual and reproductive cycles are affected predominantly by biology or culture. The literature is mixed with respect to whether biological or cultural factors best explain the reproduction cycle phenomenon, with biological explanations dominating the argument.
