We investigate the theories LA,LAP,∀LAP of linear algebra, which were originally defined to study the question of whether commutativity of matrix inverses has polysize Frege proofs. We give sentences separating quantified versions of these theories, and define a fragment ∃LA of ∀LAP in which we can interpret a weak theory V 1 of bounded arithmetic and carry out polynomial time reasoning about m...

Characteristic of the LAP approach is that communication is considered as a way of coordinating behavior. However, little has been said so far about how communication supports coordination, and how it relates to other coordination mechanisms. The objective of this paper is to clarify the relationship between coordination and communication. It contains an overview of the literature on coordinati...

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of feeding different levels of luffa aegyptiaca extracts (LAP) on the growth performance of broiler chicken fed corn-soya meal diet. The study was carried out between January to March, 2019. A total of two hundred day old broiler chicks of mixed sex (Ross 308) were allocated into four treatment groups, each group was further divided into...

As a tendency to use new technologies, gadgets such as laptop computers are becoming more popular among students, teachers, businessmen and office workers. Today laptops are a great tool for education and learning, work and personal multimedia. Millions of men, especially those in the reproductive age, are frequently using their laptop computers on the lap (thigh). Over the past several years, ...

The human fungal microbiota known as mycobiota is increasingly recognized as a critical factor in human gut health and disease. Non-pathogenic commensal yeasts such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae promote homeostasis in the gut, whereas dysbiosis of the gut mycobiota is associated with inflammation. Glycan-binding receptors (lectins) are key host factors in host-mycobiota interaction in the gut. Th...

A physical retrieval algorithm has been developed for deriving the legacy atmospheric profile (LAP) product from infrared radiances of the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) on board the next-generation Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-R) series. In this study, the GOES-R ABI LAP retrieval algorithm is applied to the GOES-13 sounder radiance measurements (termed the GOES-13 L...

We identify two vulnerabilities for existing highspeed network-layer anonymity protocols, such as LAP and Dovetail. First, the header formats of LAP and Dovetail leak path information, reducing the anonymity-set size when an adversary launches topological attacks. Second, ASes can launch session hijacking attacks to deanonymize destinations. HORNET addresses these problems but incurs additional...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the cardiovascular risk of non-obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) by the LAP index (lipid accumulation product). SUBJECTS AND METHODS 283 patients (18-34 years) assigned at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Natal-RN, were divided into four groups: 1) lean PCOS (n = 35); 2) healthy lean (n = 162); 3) overweight PCOS (n...

Objective: To study the antihypertensive effects of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory peptide LAP on blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). Methods: A cohort of 12-week-old SHRs was randomly divided into 2 distinct groups, and ACE-inhibitory peptide LAP (experimental group) or physiological saline (controls) were administered. Caudal arterial blood pressure w...
