The Dawn spacecraft targeted 4 Vesta, believed to be a remnant intact protoplanet from the earliest epoch of solar system formation, based on analyses of howardite-eucrite-diogenite (HED) meteorites that indicate a differentiated parent body. Dawn observations reveal a giant basin at Vesta's south pole, whose excavation was sufficient to produce Vesta-family asteroids (Vestoids) and HED meteori...

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasias (HED) are characterized by abnormal morphogenesis of epidermis and epidermal appendages. They may be inherited in an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive or X-linked recessive manner. The most common type shows Xlinked inheritance, and males.are usually more severely affected than females. In a male infant who was treated in our department, the diagnosis of...

There is a need for longitudinal research to understand how psychopathology relates to the onset and maintenance of substance use from adolescence into young adulthood. Hence, we investigate the longitudinal, reciprocal influences of internalizing (anxiety and depression) and externalizing (oppositional defiance) symptoms on heavy episodic drinking (HED; ≥5 drinks per occasion) and alcohol-rela...

In this paper, we introduce a unified framework based on a canonical decision diagram called Horner Expansion Diagram (HED) [1] for the purpose of equivalence checking of datapath oriented hardware designs in various design stages from an algorithmic description to a gate-level implementation. The HED is not only able to represent and manipulate algorithmic specifications in terms of polynomial...

BACKGROUND Regional cardiac sympathetic hyperactivity predisposes to malignant arrhythmias in nondiabetic cardiac disease. Conversely, however, cardiac sympathetic denervation predicts increased morbidity and mortality in severe diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN). To unite these divergent observations, we propose that in diabetes regional cardiac denervation may elsewhere induce regional sympa...

An experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of different dietary levels of energy on growth performance and meat yields of indigenous (desi) chickens up to the target weight of 950 g in rural condition. One hundred indigenous unsexed chicks aged 4 weeks were considered for the feeding trial until the body weight reached at 950g. Chicks were divided into two dietary treatments havin...

Ectodermal dysplasia is a heterogeneous condition characterized by affected ectodermal structures, among which the teeth and skin with its derivatives (hair sweat glands) are the most frequent. The aim of this work is to present the analysis of dental traits in five families (affected boys and their mothers) with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED), and to evaluate the importance of orofaci...

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is characterized by clinical manifestations of severe hypodontia or anodontia, hypotrichosis, hypohidrosis, and specific facial appearance. Affected males show complete expression of clinical features of this condition. Their mothers, who are gene carriers, express only some signs, which are usually very mild. Currently available clinical methods are not ...

In this work, we present a novel 3D-Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture called I2I-3D that predicts boundary location in volumetric data. Our fine-to-fine, deeply supervised framework addresses three critical issues to 3D boundary detection: (1) e cient, holistic, end-to-end volumetric label training and prediction (2) precise voxel-level prediction to capture fine scale structures ...
