Horseshoes play a central role in dynamical systems and are observed in many chaotic systems. However most points in a neighborhood of the horseshoe escape after finite iterations. In this work we construct a model that possesses an attracting set that contains a cuspidal horseshoe with positive entropy. This model is obtained by reinjecting the points that escape the horseshoe and can be reali...

Horseshoe kidney is a relatively common renal anomaly with which many structural and developmental anomalies have been shown to be associated. However, there are only a few case reports regarding the association of membranous glomerulonephritis and focal sclerosing glomerulonephritis in patients with horseshoe kidneys. We report a girl who was evaluated for hematuria and proteinuria, and found ...

Experience with horseshoe kidney transplantation is limited. Horseshoe kidney may be underutilized for transplantation because of the greater incidence of vascular and other associated urological anomalies. Nowadays, owing to a greater number of patients waiting for a kidney donation and to a shortage of organs donated, more suitable organ acceptance criteria have been formulated. The aim of th...

There are few reports describing the structure and function of the whale placenta with the advance of pregnancy. In this study, therefore, the placenta and nonpregnant uterus of the Antarctic minke whale were observed morphologically and immunohistochemically. Placentas and nonpregnant uteri were collected from the 15th, 16th and 18th Japanese Whale Research Programme with Special Permit in the...

Duplication anomalies are quite common with ureteral duplication anomalies being the most frequent. Despite the relatively frequent incidence of a horseshoe kidney and duplication anomalies in any individual patient, the combination of horseshoe kidney and bilateral ureteric duplication is a very rare entity and very few cases have been reported to date. We present a case of a patient with nove...

Unlike Trojans, horseshoe co-orbitals are not generally considered to be long-term stable. As the lifetime of Earth’s and Venus’s horseshoe co-orbitals is expected to be about a Gyr, we investigated the possible contribution of late-escaping inner planet co-orbitals to the lunar Late Heavy Bombardment. Contrary to analytical estimates, we do not find many horseshoe objects escaping after the fi...

In vertebrates, the heart is the first organ to develop and takes shape during the third week of embryogenesis. The earliest evidence of a heart structure can be identified beginning from day 15 of pregnancy. Stem cells in the anterior–lateral mesoderm become specific cardiac precursor cells and align in a horseshoe shape. In the third week of pregnancy these heart precursor cells that are prev...

The structure of truncated human apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I), the major protein component of high density lipoprotein, has been determined at 4-A resolution. The crystals comprise residues 44-243 (exon 4) of apo A-I, a fragment that binds to lipid similarly to intact apo A-I and that retains the lipid-bound conformation even in the absence of lipid. The molecule consists almost entirely of a p...

The authors present a detailed analysis of the asymptotic frequentist properties of credible sets derived from posteriors with normal-linear measurement models and horseshoe priors. Although we disagree with the claim that “In Bayesian practice credible balls are nevertheless used as if they were confidence sets”, the results in the paper are important for identifying where the horseshoe priors...
