BACKGROUND There is little evidence for the technical feasibility of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) with peripancreatic lymphadenectomy in terms of postoperative complications. To evaluate the technical feasibility of LG with radical lymphadenectomy, we focused on pancreas-related complications in LG and open gastrectomy (OG), and then investigated whether such complications increased in LG. M...

The goal of this work is to construct a perverse t-structure on the ∞-category ℓ-adic LG-equivariant sheaves loop Lie algebra Lg and show that affine Grothendieck–Springer sheaf S perverse. Moreover, an intermediate extension its restriction locus “compact” elements with regular semi-simple reduction. Note classical methods do not apply in our situation because LG are infinite-dimensional ind-s...

We present a succinct representation of a set of n points on an n × n grid using n lg n + o(n lg n) bits to support orthogonal range counting in O(lg n/ lg lg n) time, and range reporting in O(k lg n/ lg lg n) time, where k is the size of the output. This achieves an improvement on query time by a factor of lg lg n upon the previous result of Mäkinen and Navarro [1], while using essentially the...

Rat dams show natural variations in maternal care, licking and grooming (LG), that are associated with distinct behavioral and neural phenotypes in offspring. However, there has been limited research on the effects of differences in LG received by female pups and of variations in maternal care within the litter. Here, we investigated LG received by measuring active maternal care after pup retri...

PURPOSE Lymphangiogenesis (LG) accompanies many corneal diseases after inflammatory, infectious, or chemical insults and is a primary mediator of transplant rejection. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there is a time window for therapeutic intervention of corneal LG and whether a combined blockade of VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 effectively suppresses early-, middle-, or late-stage L...

We consider the problem of supporting several different path queries over a tree on n nodes, each having a weight drawn from a set of σ distinct values, where σ ≤ n. One query we support is the path median query, which asks for the median weight on a path between two given nodes. For this and the more general path selection query, we present a linear space data structure that answers queries in...

We describe a data structure that supports access, rank and select queries, as well as symbol insertions and deletions, on a string S[1, n] over alphabet [1..σ] in time O(lgn/ lg lgn), which is optimal. The time is worst-case for the queries and amortized for the updates. This complexity is better than the best previous ones by a Θ(1 + lg σ/ lg lgn) factor. Our structure uses nH0(S) + O(n + σ(l...

This data article contains complementary results related to the paper "Effect of metal ions on the binding reaction of (-)-epigallocatechin gallate to β-lactoglobulin" (Zhang et al., 2017) [1]. Data was obtained by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy to investigate potential β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) conformational changes with different concentrations of EGCg and Cu2+ or Al3+ added to β-Lg. 500 ...

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.
