In this paper, we present an eecient Iterative Improvement based Partitioning (IIP) algorithm called LSR/MFFS, that combines signal ow based Maximum Fanout Free Sub-graph (MFFS) clustering algorithm with Loose and Stable net Removal (LSR) partitioning algorithm. The MFFS algorithm generalizes existing MFFC decomposition method from combinational circuits to general sequential circuits in order ...

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a term used to describe the unique properties of central nervous system (CNS) blood vessels. One important BBB property is the formation of a paracellular barrier made by tight junctions (TJs) between CNS endothelial cells (ECs). Here, we show that Lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR), a component of paracellular junctions at points in which three cel...

Abstract. Given a data matrix X ∈ R and a response vector y ∈ R , suppose n > d, it costs O(nd) time and O(nd) space to solve the least squares regression (LSR) problem. When n and d are both large, exactly solving the LSR problem is very expensive. When n ≫ d, one feasible approach to accelerating LSR is to randomly embed y and all columns of X into the subspace R where c ≪ n; the induced LSR ...

UNLABELLED Clostridium difficile is the leading cause of antibiotics-associated diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis. Hypervirulent C. difficile strains produce the binary actin-ADP-ribosylating toxin CDT (C. difficile transferase), in addition to the Rho-glucosylating toxins A and B. We recently identified the lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) as the host receptor that mediates ...

BACKGROUND No randomized controlled trial has compared laparoscopic sigmoid resection (LSR) to open sigmoid resection (OSR) for symptomatic diverticulitis of the sigmoid colon. This study tested the hypothesis that LSR is associated with decreased postoperative complication rates as compared with OSR. METHODS This was a prospective, multicenter, double-blind, parallel-arm, randomized controll...

background :this paper explores the gender-related bilateral differences of extensor and flexor torques of the knee joint at low and high angular velocities in iranian healthy males and females.   methods : 70 healthy subjects (29 males (26.61±4.34 yrs and 41 females with average age of 23.07±3.70 yrs)) were participated in this study. isokinetic peak torque values for knee extensors and flexor...

Background: Blood viscosity and aortic sclerosis (AS) are strong predictors of cardiovascular events. The effects of blood viscosity on AS have not been studied adequately. We aimed to investigate the potential connection between whole blood viscosity (WBV) and AS. Methods: AS was detected by transthoracic echocardiography. The estimation of WBV was carried out at both high shear rate (HSR) (20...

Sparse learning based feature selection has been widely investigated in recent years. In this study, we focus on the l2,0-norm selection, which is effective for exact top-k but challenging to optimize. To solve general constrained problems, novelly develop a parameter-free optimization framework coordinate descend (CD) method, termed CD-LSR. Specifically, devise skillful conversion from origina...
