Application of Transdermal Testosterone in Treatment of Male Hypogonadism
Testosterone is one of the most important male steroid hormones that plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues. The secretion of this hormone decreases rapidly after age 50. Hypogonadism in men is a clinical syndrome that is caused

Good Similar Patches for Image Denoising [PDF]
Patch-based denoising algorithms like BM3D have achieved outstanding performance. An important idea for the success of these methods is to exploit the recurrence of similar patches in an input image to estimate the underlying image structures. However, in these algorithms, the similar patches used for denoising are obtained via Nearest Neighbour Search

Statistical Methods for cis-Mendelian Randomization with Two-sample Summary-level Data [PDF]
Mendelian randomization is the use of genetic variants to assess the existence of a causal relationship between a risk factor and an outcome of interest. Here, we focus on two-sample summary-data Mendelian randomization analyses with many correlated variants from a single gene region, and particularly on cis-Mendelian randomization studies which use ...

Local and global analysis of endocrine regulation as a non-cyclic feedback system [PDF]
To understand the sophisticated control mechanisms of the human's endocrine system is a challenging task that is a crucial step towards precise medical treatment of many disfunctions and diseases. Although mathematical models describing the endocrine system as a whole are still elusive, recently some substantial progress has been made in analyzing ...

On the stability of Murray's testosterone model [PDF]
We prove the global asymptotic stability of a well-known delayed negative-feedback model of testosterone dynamics, which has been proposed as a model of oscillatory behavior. We establish stability (and hence the impossibility of oscillations) even in the presence of delays of arbitrary length.

Segment and Complete: Defending Object Detectors against Adversarial Patch Attacks with Robust Patch Detection [PDF]
Object detection plays a key role in many security-critical systems. Adversarial patch attacks, which are easy to implement in the physical world, pose a serious threat to state-of-the-art object detectors. Developing reliable defenses for object detectors against patch attacks is critical but severely understudied.

Theoretical frameworks for neuroeconomics of intertemporal choice [PDF]
Intertemporal choice has drawn attention in behavioral economics, econophysics, and neuroeconomics. Recent studies in mainstream economics have mainly focused on inconsistency in intertemporal choice (dynamic inconsistency); while impulsivity/impatience in intertemporal choice has been extensively studied in behavioral economics of addiction.
