The characteristic features of the abnormality are the bilateral perineal protrusions and the distended seminal vesicles which, together perhaps with parts of the coagulating glands, form their sole contents. In mouse 1 (Table 1) the bladder, ureters, and renal pelves were distended. This complication was attributed to intrapelvic compression of the proximal part of the urethra by the distended seminal vesicles. No obstruction of the urinary passages existed in the other four examples of perineal hernia. In every case the muchenlarged seminal vesicles have been occupied, as they are in normal mice, by an opaque white amorphous fluid which is stained a bright pink by eosin; this fluid is free from leukocytes or cellular debris. The coagulation glands and the epithelium of the seminal vesicles

Familial Danish Dementia (FDD) is an autosomal disease, which is distinguished by gradual loss of vision, deafness, progressive ataxia and dementia. Cataract is the first manifestation of the disease. In this article, we demonstrate a specific correlation between the poisoning of the chaperone activity of the rat eye lens a-crystallins, loss of lens transparency in organ culture by the pathogenic form of the Danish dementia peptide, i.e. the reduced Danish dementia peptide (redADan peptide), by a combination of ex vivo, in vitro, biophysical and biochemical techniques. The interaction of redADan peptide and lens crystallins are very specific when compared with another chaperone, HSP-70, underscoring the specificity of the

T H E purpose of this paper is to report the results of a statistical evalua-tion of different methods for the detection of arteriosclerosis in diabetes mellitus. This investigation was prompted by the high and increasing incidence of vascular disease among diabetics and its influence upon mor-tality. In spite of control of coma and of tuberculosis—the two major causes of death among diabetics in the past—the death rate from diabetes mellitus in large populations is still high; and mortality and morbidity data clearly indicate that cardio-vascular disease is one of the most important con-tributing factors. In table 1, are recorded cardiovascular conditions and their incidences among 1500 diabetics in the Clinic for Diabetes at The

ADOPTING an approach suggested by Richard Nelson (1964), the paper reports a model which both identifies the (proximate) determinants of the average age of the capital stock and which may be used to obtain an index number series for the average age from readily available data. The method

of teacher recruitment, salary costs and costs associated with retraining older teachers. The evidence shows that the situation since then has not improved, in fact quite the contrary. As Figure 1 shows, in 2000 the average age of a male primary school teacher across OECD countries was 42.9; in 2011

Learning of continuous valued functions using neural network en-sembles (committees) can give improved accuracy, reliable estima-tion of the generalization error, and active learning. The ambiguity is defined as the variation of the output of ensemble members aver-aged over unlabeled data, so

-sirable properties: the set is closed under 1. continuous (and thus projective) transformation of image coordinates and 2. monotonic transformation of im-age intensities. An efficient (near linear complexity) and practically fast de-tection algorithm (near frame rate) is presented for an affinely-invariant stable

Abstract: We use the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) data collected in Indian states in 1992 and 1993 to estimate the relationship between household wealth and the probability a child (aged 6 to 14) is enrolled in school. A methodological difficulty to overcome is that the NFHS, modeled

Is the average age of a United States homeless person nine? No, as the majority of homeless are adults. Yet despite available facts, the claim persists. Evaluating sources related to this claim can form a strong exercise in statistical literacy at college and secondary school levels. This article

. In the traditional model, consumption growth is determined solely by tastes; in contrast, buffer-stock consumers set average consumption growth equal to average labor income growth, regardless of tastes. The model can explain three empirical puzzles: the “consumption/income parallel ” of Carroll and Summers [1991
