The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of exercise on total leukocyte count and subsets, as well as hormone and cytokine responses in a thermoneutral and cold environment, with and without an individualized pre-cooling protocol inducing low-intensity shivering. Nine healthy young men participated in six experimental trials wearing shorts and t-shirts. Participants exercised for 60 ...

A testicular paracrine factor, P-Mod-S, was purified from conditioned medium obtained from serum-free cultures of peritubular cells. Stimulation of testicular transferrin production by cultured Sertoli cells was utilized as a bio-assay for P-Mod-S. A bioactive protein with an apparent molecular weight of 50,000 under physiological conditions was isolated by high pressure size exclusion chromato...

Input: An integer n > 1. 0: if n is a power then output composite fi; 1: r := 2; 2: while (r < n) do 3: if gcd(r, n) 6= 1 then output composite fi; 4: if r is prime then 5: q := largest prime factor of r − 1; 6: if (q ≥ 4√r log n) and (n(r−1)/q 6≡ 1 mod r) then break fi; 7: fi; 8: r := r + 1; 9: od; 10: for a = 1 to 2 √ r log n do 11: if (x− a)n 6≡ (xn − a) mod (xr − 1, n) then output composite...

The diiculty in solving the discrete logarithm problem is of extreme cryptographic importance since it is widely used in signature schemes, message encryption, key exchange, authentication and so on ((15], 17], 21], 29] etc.). The General Number Field Sieve (GNFS) is the asymptotically fastest known method to compute discrete logs mod p 18]. With the rst implementation of the GNFS for discrete ...

Wolbachia pipientis is a bacterium that induces cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), the phenomenon in which infected males are reproductively incompatible with uninfected females. CI spreads in a population of hosts because it reduces the fitness of uninfected females relative to infected females. CI encompasses two steps: modification (mod) of sperm of infected males and rescuing (resc) of these...

Currently, multi-organ segmentation (MOS) in abdominal CT can fail to handle clinical patient population with missing organs due to surgical resection. In order to enable the state-of-the-art MOS for these clinically important cases, we propose (1) automatic missing organ detection (MOD) by testing abnormality of post-surgical organ motion and organ-specific intensity homogeneity, and (2) atlas...
