During discharges in the Large Hetical Device (LHD), the plasma radiated power has been measured by several bolometry systems mounted on different ports of the machine. The spatial structure of the radiation during the period prior to the termination of Neutral Beam Injected (NBD heated plasmas was also investigated using multichannel bolometric diagnostics. During discharges with strongly radi...

BACKGROUND During the 2008-2010 economic recession, Kentucky local health department (LHD) leaders utilized innovative strategies to maintain their programs. A characteristic of innovative strategy is leader openness to change. Leader demographical research in for-profit organizations has yielded valuable insight into leader openness to change. For LHD leaders, the nature of the association bet...

Kazrin is a widely expressed, evolutionarily conserved cytoplasmic protein that binds the cytolinker protein periplakin. Multiple functions of kazrin have been reported, including regulation of desmosome assembly, embryonic tissue morphogenesis and epidermal differentiation. Here, we identify kazrinE as a kazrin isoform that contains a liprin-homology domain (LHD) and forms complexes with kazri...

IntRoductIon Severe acute pancreatitis (AP) remains a challenge in clinical practice, and there are no internationally agreed specific therapies.[1] Severe AP typically presents with epigastric pain, abdominal distention, vomiting, and constipation at the early stage and is similar to the Yangming-Fushi syndrome of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The Chinese herbal ointment Liu-He-Dan (LHD)...

This diagnostic, known as the segmented mask infrared imaging bolometer (SIB), uses state-of-theart infrared (IR) imaging technology to measure the temperature rise of each pixel in a two dimensional array mask sandwiching the metal foil. We have designed, constructed, installed and calibrated a version of the SIB for the Large Helical Device (LHD). This diagnostic has a two dimensional view (t...

We investigated (1) how focal brain-injured patients describe causal events (causal verb like “push” and the instrument of the action like “the stick”) in speech and co-speech gestures and (2) whether gestures compensate for their impaired verbalization. 16 left hemisphere damaged (LHD), 16 right hemisphere damaged (RHD) and 14 controls were asked to describe causal events (22 video clips). The...

Pulmonary hypertension (PH), a common complication of left heart diseases (LHD), negatively impacts symptoms, exercise capacity, and outcome. Although the true prevalence of PH-LHD is unknown, a subset of patients might present significant PH that cannot be explained by a passive increase in left-sided filling pressures. The term "out-of-proportion" PH has been used to identify that population ...

This paper presents a statistical type inference algorithm for ontology alignment, which assigns DBpedia entities with a new type (class). To infer types for a specific entity, the algorithm first identifies types that co-occur with the type the entity already has, and subsequently prunes the set of candidates for the most confident one. The algorithm has one parameter for balancing specificity...

To obtain information on formation mechanisms of dust particles of nm in size in fusion devices, in-situ collection of dust particles produced due to interaction between graphite target as plasma facing materials and the plasmas was carried out in a helicon discharge chamber and in Large Helical Device (LHD). Dust particles produced in the helicon discharges are made of carbon and can be classi...

Abstract Background Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is associated with a poor prognosis in patients left heart disease (LHD). Several hemodynamic variables have been shown to predict outcome, including pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), artery compliance (PAC), and the diastolic pressure gradient (DPG). We sought provide an updated analysis on association of these PH-LHD. Methods performed system...
