A prudent explanation of the clinical effect of dynamic cardiomyoplasty is that a minimal systolic assistance enhances the chronic elastic girdle effect of the transposed Latissimus Dorsi (LD). Slowness of the contraction-relaxation cycle and reduced power output of a fully conditioned LD limit its systolic support. Steady partial transformation of LD could increase power output by taking advan...

Linked (Open) Data (LD) offer the great opportunity to interconnect and share large amounts of data on a global scale, creating added value compared to data published via pure HTML. However, this enormous potential is not completely accessible. In fact, LD datasets are often affected by errors, inconsistencies, missing values and other quality issues that may lower their usage. Users are often ...

This paper describes how ontologies can be used to model, validate and execute IMS Learning Design. Concretely, we propose an IMS LD ontology, which covers both IMS LD level A and level B, and explain how it was developed and then used during the IMS LD document life cycle. The main contribution can be summarized as follows: (1) the formalization of the implicit knowledge found on the IMS LD sp...

A dominating set S of a graph G is called locating-dominating, LD-set for short, if every vertex v not in S is uniquely determined by the set of neighbors of v belonging to S. Locatingdominating sets of minimum cardinality are called LD-codes and the cardinality of an LD-code is the location-domination number λ(G). An LD-set S of a graph G is global if it is an LD-set of both G and its compleme...

The present study investigated the preventive effect of ω-3 fatty acids against cholesterol gallstone (CG) formation. CG formation was induced in C57BL/6J mice using a lithogenic diet (LD). The mice were divided into four treatment groups: i) LD, ii) LD plus eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), iii) LD plus docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and iv) LD plus EPA plus DHA. Subsequent to feeding the mice the LD f...

RATIONALE Fatty acids (FA) are transported across the capillary endothelium to parenchymal tissues. However, it is not known how endothelial cells (EC) from large vessels process a postprandial surge of FA. OBJECTIVE This study was designed to characterize lipid droplet (LD) formation in EC by manipulating pathways leading to the formation and degradation of LD. In addition, several functions...
