We prove a continuity inheritance property for super- and sub-additive transformations of non-negative continuous multivariate functions defined on the domain of all non-negative points and vanishing at the origin. As a corollary of this result we obtain that super- and sub-additive transformations of continuous aggregation functions are again continuous aggregation functions.

Suppose q is a prime power and f ∈ Fq[x] is a univariate polynomial with exactly t nonzero terms and degree <q−1. To establish a finite field analogue of Descartes’ Rule, Bi, Cheng and Rojas (2013) proved an upper bound of 2(q − 1) t−2 t−1 on the number of cosets in F∗ q needed to cover the roots of f in F∗ q . Here, we give explicit f with root structure approaching this bound: For q a t power...

Eye movements are crucial in understanding complex scenes. By predicting where humans look in natural scenes, we can understand how they percieve scenes and priotriaze information for further high-level processing. Here, we study the effect of a particular type of scene structural information known as vanishing point and show that human gaze is attracted to vanishing point regions. We then buil...

The complex carbohydrates in the undescended and contralateral scrotal testes of patients with cryptorchidism, were examined by light microscopic histochemical methods, in comparison with those of normal testes. In the undescended testes, histochemical reactions for acidic and neutral complex carbohydrates were apparently weaker than in the normal testes, especially pronounced in the seminifero...

background:   objective: present study was conducted to observe the effects of testosterone, nandrolone, and stanozolol (forms of aas) intake during onset of puberty on the rat testicular histology.   materials and methods: juvenile male sprague-dawley (sd) rats (n=42) were divided into seven groups and were injected subcutaneously with medium dose of polyethylene glycol-200 (peg-200) (control)...

the aim of the present study was to evaluate the antioxidant effects of aqueous fruit extract of ziziphusjujuba on ethanol-induced oxidative stress and to examine its protective effects on sperm motility and plasma membrane integrity of male wistar rats. adult male rats (n = 28) were divided into four equal groups: the first group served as untreated controls, the second group of rats was given...

The study evaluated the role of imaging studies in the diagnosis of impalpable undescended testes. A total of 40 children referred with 45 impalpable undescended testes had an ultrasound scan and clinical examination by a pediatric surgeon. 22 out of these 45 testes were found to be palpable on clinical examination by a pediatric surgeon. Of the remaining 23 boys (23 units of testes), 21 underw...
