OBJECTIVE The literature on later age of onset (LAO) in women with eating disorders is scarce. We compared the severity of eating disorders, eating disorder subtype, and personality profiles in a clinical sample of consecutively assessed women with eating disorders with later age of onset (LAO, > = 25 years) to women with typical age of onset (TAO, <25 years). METHOD All eating disorder patie...

We investigate the energetic stability and dissociation dynamics of water adsorption at the LaAlO3 surface of the n-type LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LAO/STO) interface and its effect on the electronic properties of the interface by carrying out first-principles electronic structure calculations. In an ambient atmosphere at room temperature the configuration of 1 monolayer (ML) of water molecules including 3...

Complex-oxide interfaces host a diversity of phenomena not present in traditional semiconductor heterostructures. Despite intense interest, many basic questions remain about the mechanisms that give rise to interfacial conductivity and the role of surface chemistry in dictating these properties. Here we demonstrate a fully reversible >4 order of magnitude conductance change at LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LA...

SUMMARY The purpose of this study was to establish limits of normal for P wave measurements, and to propose criteria for routine electrocardiographic readings and for multivariate analysis to recognize left atrial overload (LAO) and right atrial overload (RAO) in the orthogonal electrocar-diogram (ECG). Frank ECG's were obtained from 2464 subjects, including 580 normals, 164 patients with mitra...

Wherever there are humans, exploration of the inherent relationship between humans and nature is always examined. Before rational thinking was fully developed, human beings tried to explain natural phenomena and the impact of nature on themselves using myths and primitive religions. The fear of birth and death turned into the fear of ghosts, and the doubt of pain transformed into the pursuit of...

Solar-blind deep-ultraviolet (DUV) photoconductive detectors based on an LaAlO(3) (LAO) single crystal with interdigitated electrodes are reported. The LAO detectors show a high sensitivity to DUV light with wavelengths less than 210 nm, and the DUV/UV (200 versus 290 nm) contrast ratio is more than 2 orders of magnitude. The photocurrent responsivity of LAO detector reaches 71.8 mA/W at 200 nm...

We describe a heuristic search algorithm for Markov decision problems, called LAO*, that is derived from the classic heuristic search algorithm AO*. LAO* shares the advantage heuristic search has over dynamic programming for simpler classes of problems: it can find optimal solutions without evaluating all problem states. The derivation of LAO* from AO* makes it easier to generalize refinements ...

Demonstration of a tunable conductivity of the LaAlO(3)/SrTiO(3) interfaces drew significant attention to the development of oxide electronic structures where electronic confinement can be reduced to the nanometer range. While the mechanisms for the conductivity modulation are quite different and include metal-insulator phase transition and surface charge writing, generally it is implied that t...
