The Symmetry Set ( ) is the closure of the locus of centers of spheres tangent to smooth surface patches in two or more loci; such bitangent spheres are called “contact spheres.” The Medial Axis ( ) is the subset of the for which all such spheres are maximal, i.e., such that no other contact spheres are contained in them.2 A classification of points was introduced by Giblin and Kimia [6, 7], wh...

The thyroid hormones act directly on mitochondria, and thereby control the transformation of the energy derived from oxidations into a form utilizable by the cell.

A rationale for the effects of thyroid hormone excess or defi...
