We describe a woman with flank pain and hydronephrosis.Computed tomography (CT) urography and maximum intensity projection (MIP) reformatted images clearly showed that a long finger-like intraluminal filling defects mass in the left middle ureter.The pathologic biopsy by ureteroscopy revealed that the lesion mainly consists of benign Frontloader Do
Bayesian estimates of genetic parameters of non-return rate and success in first insemination in Japanese Black cattle
Objective The objective of present study was to estimate heritability of non-return rate (NRR) and success of first insemination (SFI) by using the Bayesian approach with Gibbs sampling.Methods Heifer Traits were denoted as NRR-h and SFI-h, and cow traits as NRR-c Divan Cover and SFI-c.The variance covariance components were estimated using thresho
Vignettes to Support Theory Refinement: Methodological Insights From a Realist Evaluation
Realist evaluation methodology aims to understand social programmes by revealing what works, for whom, in what circumstances, and how and why.Realist evaluation starts with generating initial programme theories (IPTs), which are subsequently tested and refined systematically using a multi-methods approach.This article describes a case study of the
Development of a Privacy-Preserving UAV System With Deep Learning-Based Face Anonymization
In this paper, we develop a privacy-preserving UAV system that does not infringe on the privacy of people in the videos taken by UAVs.Instead of blurring or masking the face parts of the videos, we want to exquisitely modify only the face parts so that the people in the modified videos still KOMBU look like humans, but they become anonymous.Doing s
