In this dissertation, we present a number of new techniques and tools for proving lower bounds on the operational time of data structures. These techniques provide new lines of attack for proving lower bounds in both the cell probe model, the group model, the pointer machine model and the I/O-model. In all cases, we push the frontiers further by proving lower bounds higher than what could possi...

Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) studies were performed to investigate the genetic differences which separate low-grade (LG), high-grade (HG), and borderline epithelial ovarian carcinomas. Fresh tumor samples and blood were obtained from 58 patients (20 LG, 34 HG, and 4 borderline tumor specimens) undergoing surgery for ovarian carcinoma at Mayo Clinic. Tumors were graded using a modified Broder's ...

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) emissions from bioenergy crops may differ from those of conventional crops. We compared emission rates of isoprene and a number of monoterpenes from the lignocellulosic bioenergy crops short-rotation coppice (SRC) willow and Miscanthus, with the conventional crops wheat and oilseed rape. BVOC emission rates were measured via dynamic vegetation enclosur...

The lateral giant (LG) escape circuit of crayfish mediates a coordinated escape triggered by strong attack to the abdomen. The LG circuit is one of the best understood of small systems, but models of the circuit have mostly been limited to simple ball-and-stick representations, which ignore anatomical details of contacts between circuit elements. Many of the these contacts are electrical; here ...

PURPOSE Hormone diseases induce changes in the lacrimal gland (LG) and ocular surface (OS). Thyroid hormone (TH) induces cell proliferation and lipid metabolism through the activation of TH receptors. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the location and comparative expression of TH receptor beta-1 (Thrb) in LG of rats with hypothyroidism and in controls and to evaluate the impact of th...

Protocols were developed to automate image analysis and to track the movement of thousands of vesicular compartments in live cells. Algorithms were used to discriminate among different types of movement (e.g. random, caged, and directed). We applied these tools to investigate the steady-state distribution and movement of lytic granules (LG) in live natural killer (NK) cells by high-speed 3-dime...

In this paper, we investigate the Lie algebra structures of weight one subspaces C2-cofinite vertex operator superalgebras. We also show that for any positive integer k, superalgebras Lsl(1|n+1)(k,0) and Losp(2|2n)(k,0) have inequivalent infinitely many irreducible admissible modules. As a consequence, give proof fact Lg(k,0) is if only g either simple algebra, or g=osp(1|2n), k nonnegative int...

Background: Clinical trials comparing laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) versus traditional open gastrectomy (OG) have been planned, their surgical outcomes reported but their oncologic outcomes are still pending. Consequently, we have conducted this large-scale historical cohort study to provide relevant information rapidly to guide our current practice. Methods: Through a consensus meeting involvi...
