The treatment of undescended testes in infancy and childhood, and the timing of treatment have been reviewed recently by Johnston (1965) and by the Brit. med. J. (1965). From a practical point of view, it is important to know, (1) the incidence of undescended testes in the newbom, and (2) the spontaneous alterations in position of the testes during infancy and childhood. With regard to the firs...

HE development of the testes and associated organs in Drosophiln melanoT g m t m has been studied by many investigators (STERN 1940. 1941a. b; STERN and HADORS 1939; URSPRUNC 1963). A review of the literature has been given by RODI:.NSTIXN (1950). During the larval and early pupal stages. the testes are ellipsoidal in form. Following attachment of the testes to the developing seminal vesicles. ...

We extended a generic whole-body physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for rats and humans for organs of the reproductive and endocrine systems (i.e., the testes and the thyroid gland). An extensive literature search was performed, first, to determine the most generic organ model structures for testes and thyroid across species, and, second, to identify the corresponding anatomic a...

In conventional methods for detecting vanishing points and vanishing lines, the observed feature points are clustered into collections that represent different lines. The multiple lines are then detected and the vanishing points are detected as points of intersection of the lines. The vanishing line is then detected based on the points of intersection. However, for the purpose of optimization, ...

For any complex reductive connected Lie group G, many of the structure constants of the ordinary cohomology ring H(G/B;Z) vanish in the Schubert basis, and the rest are strictly positive. We present a combinatorial game, the “root game”, which provides some criteria for determining which of the Schubert intersection numbers vanish. The definition of the root game is manifestly invariant under a...

In this work we propose a novel interpretation of residual networks showing that they can be seen as a collection of many paths of differing length. Moreover, residual networks seem to enable very deep networks by leveraging only the short paths during training. To support this observation, we rewrite residual networks as an explicit collection of paths. Unlike traditional models, paths through...

We describe how 3D affine measurements may be computed from a single perspective view of a scene given only minimal geometric information determined from the image. This minimal information is typically the vanishing line of a reference plane, and a vanishing point for a direction not parallel to plane. It is shown that affine scene structure may then be determined from the image, without knowl...
