PURPOSE To determine the impact of neuromuscular fatigue (NMF) assessed from variables obtained during a countermovement jump on exercise intensity measured with triaxial accelerometers (load per minute [LPM]) and the association between LPM and measures of running activity in elite Australian Football. METHODS Seventeen elite Australian Football players performed the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recov...

Dysregulation of TNF-α in lamina propria macrophages (LPM) is a feature of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). LPS-Induced-TNF-Alpha-Factor (LITAF) is a transcription factor that mediates TNF-α expression. To determine whether LITAF participates in the mediation of TNF-α expression in acutely inflamed colonic tissues, we first established the TNBS-induced colonic inflammation model in C57BL/6 mi...

This study aimed to investigate the relationships between sodium release, saltiness, and oral parameters during the eating of lipoprotein matrices (LPM). Sodium release and saltiness relative to 10 LPM were recorded during normal mastication by five subjects with differing oral parameters (chewing efficiency and salivary flow rate). The LPM samples varied in composition (dry matter, fat, salt, ...

Based on log-polar mapping and phase correlation, this paper presents a novel digital image watermarking scheme that is invariant to rotation, scaling, and translation (RST). We embed watermark in the log-polar mappings of Fourier magnitude spectrum of original image, and use the phase correlation between the LPM of the original image and the LPM of the watermarked image to calculate the displa...

Substitution at codon Ser315 of katG gene, a reliable marker for isoniazid (INH) resistance and proliferate in spite of the loss of cell wall is called an L- form. Unstable L- forms  can convert to normal cells but stble L-forms can not.cell wall - deffective state may be induced spontaneously or through the action of an appropriate agent such as antibiotic interfering with the synthesis of cel...

Lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) was evaluated in Non TMD subjects(control group) as well as TMD patients(study group).15 controls were used and 20 patients were used. Patients with lateral pterygoid muscle myalgia was the main criteria for selection of patients. Questionnaire was filled up for each patient and lateral pterygoid was evaluated for every patient with help of MRI. In control group, ...

This paper describes a new binocular tracking method using Log Polar Mapping (LPM) which approximately represents the mapping of the retina into the visual cortex in primate vision. Using LPM makes it possible not only to obtain both a high central resolution and a wide eld of view, but also to signi cantly reduce processing image data. In this paper, LPM is performed in software by lookup tabl...

A two-stage latent prosody model-language model (LPM-LM)-based approach is proposed to identify two Mandarin accent types spoken by native speakers in Mainland China and Taiwan. The frontend LPM tokenizes and jointly models the affections of speaker, tone and prosody state of an utterance. The backend LM takes the decoded prosody state sequences and builds n-grams to model the prosodic differen...

In all vertebrates, invariant left/right (L/R) positioning and organization of the internal viscera is controlled by a conserved pathway. Nodal, a member of the TGFbeta superfamily is a critical upstream component responsible for initiating L/R axis determination. Asymmetric Nodal expression in the node preceeds and foreshadows morphological L/R asymmetry. Here we address the mechanism of Nodal...

In a provenance-aware system, mechanisms gather and report metadata that describes the history of each object being processed on the system, allowing users to understand how data objects came to exist in their present state. However, while past work has demonstrated the usefulness of provenance, less attention has been given to securing provenance-aware systems. Provenance itself is a ripe atta...
