BACKGROUND Among patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and preserved ejection fraction, those with low gradient (LG) and reduced stroke volume may have an adverse prognosis. We investigated the prognostic impact of stroke volume using the recently proposed flow-gradient classification. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined 1704 consecutive patients with severe AS (aortic valve area <1.0 cm(2)) ...

Current AA recommendations for sows are to provide a fixed amount of AA intake throughout gestation; however, the demand for nutrients changes from maternal lean tissue in early gestation (EG) to fetal and mammary growth in late gestation (LG). The objective of this study was to determine the Lys requirement in EG (d 24 to 45) and LG (d 86 to 110) using the indicator AA oxidation method with si...

We report on the first experimental demonstration of higher-order Laguerre-Gauss (LG(p)(ℓ)) mode generation and interferometry using a method scalable to the requirements of gravitational wave (GW) detection. GW detectors which use higher-order LG(p)(ℓ) modes will be less susceptible to mirror thermal noise, which is expected to limit the sensitivity of all currently planned terrestrial detecto...

The lateral gastric (LG) motor neuron of the stomatogastric nervous system of the crab Cancer borealis has a large soma in the stomatogastric ganglion (STG). The LG motor neuron makes inhibitory synaptic connections within the neuropil of the STG, and also projects to the periphery, where it innervates a series of muscles that control the movements of the lateral teeth of the gastric mill. The ...

In this paper, it is shown that the diagonal coset vertex operator algebra C(Lg(k+2,0),Lg(k,0)⊗Lg(2,0)) rational and C2-cofinite in case g=so(2n), n≥3 k an admissible number for gˆ. It also C(Lsl2(k+4,0),Lsl2(k,0)⊗Lsl2(4,0)) sl2ˆ. Furthermore, irreducible modules of are classified a positive odd integer.

Variation in postpartum maternal care programs the development of neuroendocrine and mesolimbic dopamine pathways in female offspring Catherine Jensen Peña Variation in adult rat maternal behavior is predicted by the experience of maternal licking and grooming (LG) in infancy, such that females that experience high levels of LG (High LG) during postnatal development typically themselves become ...

(LG) tools, introduced first in 2004. LG is a type of game theory that generates best strategies for all sides in a conflict in real time. The paper describes the main advanced features of the versions (through Version 3.7) of LG-PACKAGE released gradually from 2004 through 2010. These releases converted LG-PACKAGE into the software of industrial strength applicable to the wide scope of defense...

This paper is a sequel to the paper by A. Losev and Yu. Manin [LoMa1], in which new moduli stacks of pointed curves were introduced. In particular, the structure sections are divided into two groups, and the sections of the second group are allowed to intersect. The homology of these stacks form components of extended modular operad which will be further studied in [LoMa2]. In this paper the ba...

A literature search with no date limits in PubMed using the keywords " lymphomatoid granulomatosis " and " larynx " found only two reported cases where LG affects the larynx, but in both of them, laryngeal disease was associated with pulmonary involvement. 2,3 The larynx has its own lymphatic structure called larynx-associated lymphoid tissue (LALT). In the subglottis, LALT is replaced througho...

Main results. A rigorous proof that the number of comparisons of keys performed in the worst case by Heapsort on any array of size N ≥ 2 is equal to: 2(N − 1) ( lg N − 1 2 + ε )− 2s2(N)− e2(N) + min(blg(N − 1)c, 2) + 6 + c, where ε, given by: ε = 1 + dlg (N − 1)e − lg (N − 1)− 2dlg (N−1)e−lg (N−1), is a function of N with the minimum value 0 and and the supremum value δ = 1− lg e+ lg lg e ≈ 0.0...
