It is significant to discover a global optimization in the problems dealing with large dimensional scales to increase the quality of decision-making in the mining operation. It has been broadly confirmed that the long-term production scheduling (LTPS) problem performs a main role in mining projects to develop the performance regarding the obtainability of constraints, while maximizing the whole...

Background: Previous studies have been reported on the toxicity of Microcystin-LR, which is produced by cyanobacterial growth in fish, such as Heteropneustes fossilis (H. fossilis). However, no studies have been conducted on the effects of Microcystin-LR on the prolactin cells of H. fossilis. Methods: H. fossilis fish were intraperitoneally injected with Microcystin-LR (2.5μg/25g) and sacrif...

AIM OF THE STUDY In patients from the Dutch TME trial patterns of local recurrence (LR) in rectal cancer were studied. The purpose was to reconstruct the most likely mechanisms of LR and the effect of preoperative radiotherapy. METHODS 1417 patients were analyzed; 713 were randomized into preoperative radiotherapy and total mesorectal excision (RT + TME), 704 into TME alone. Of the 114 patien...

Bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1) is an important pathogen that can initiate bovine respiratory disease complex. Like other members of the subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae, BHV-1 establishes latency in sensory neurons. The latency-related (LR) gene expresses a family of alternatively spliced transcripts in infected sensory neurons that have the potential to encode several LR proteins. An LR mutant ...

BACKGROUND We found granulosa cells of low responders (LR) expressed more LH receptors, suggesting that follicles were more luteinized than normal responders (NR). The objectives were to test the hypothesis that follicles of LR were more luteinized than follicles of NR, and to determine if LR with (LR+) and without (LR-) ovarian antibodies differed. METHODS Hormone levels and ovarian autoanti...

1 INTRODUCTION This paper discusses the design of an LR parser for a speciic high-coverage English grammar. The design principles, though, are applicable to a large class of uniication-based grammars where the constraints are realized as Prolog terms and applied monotonically through instantiation, where there is no right movement , and where left movement is handled by gap threading. The LR pa...

OBJECTIVE Microminipigs are a novel animal model with extensive applications in laboratory studies owing, in part, to their extremely small body sizes. In this study, the relationship between swine leukocyte antigen (SLA) class II haplotype and body weight was evaluated in the Microminipig population. METHODS A total of 1,900 haplotypes, covering SLA class II haplotypes Lr-0.7, Lr-0.23, Lr-0....

The adipose tissue-derived hormone leptin regulates body weight homeostasis by decreasing food intake and increasing energy expenditure. The weight-reducing action of leptin is thought to be mediated primarily by signal transduction through the leptin receptor (LR) in the hypothalamus. We have used immunohistochemistry to localize LR-immunoreactive (LR-IR) cells in the rat brain using an antise...
