We derive structural parameters and evidence for extended tidal debris from star count and preliminary standard candle analyses of the Large Magellanic Cloud based on Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) data. The full-sky coverage and low extinction in Ks presents an ideal sample for structural analysis of the LMC. The star count surface densities and deprojected inclination for both young and ol...

We examine the gas kinematics of the LMC revealed by the high spatial and velocity resolution H I data cube of the combined ATCA and Parkes telescope surveys. We adopt an approach designed to facilitate comparisons with quasar absorption line observations, in particular restricting our analysis to pointings with H I column density satisfying the damped Lyα (DLA) criterion. We measure velocity w...

Recent observations on structural properties of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) based on the Deep Near-Infrared Southern Sky Survey (DENIS) and Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) have revealed that the LMC has an off-center bar even in the older stellar populations. Previous dynamical models including tidal interaction between the LMC, the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), and the Galaxy, however, ...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the diagnostic and prognostic values of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) CYFRA 21-1 in patients with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LMC). METHODS Concentration of CSF CYFRA 21-1 was detected using electro-chemiluminescent immunoassay. The difference in level of CYFRA 21-1 between 61 patients with LMC and 200 patients with other neurological disease was evaluated, and diagno...

Background: Neuronal topographic map formation requires appropriate selection of axonal trajectories at intermediate choice points prior to target innervation. Axons of neurons in the spinal cord lateral motor column (LMC), as defined by a transcription factor code, are thought to innervate limb target tissues exclusively. Axons of the medial and lateral LMC divisions appear to execute a binary...

We investigate the dynamical and chemical evolution of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) interacting with the Galaxy and the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) based on a series of self-consistent chemodynamical simulations. Our numerical models are aimed at explaining the entire properties of the LMC, i.e., the observed structure and kinematics of its stellar halo and disk components as well as the p...

We construct Boolean-valued term models and describe their universal properties. The underlying set of these models consists of the terms of the underlying language, while formulae are interpreted in the Lindenbaum-Tarski algebra of open formulae. Subspaces of the Stone space of the Lindenbaum-Tarski algebra of open formulae are shown to be homeomorphic to spaces of enumerated models models equ...

We study the concept of finitary formal topology, a point-free version of a topological space with a basis of compact open subsets. The notion of finitary formal topology is defined from the perspective of the Basic Picture (introduced by the second author) and thus it is endowed with a binary positivity relation. As an application, we prove a constructive version of Stone’s representation theo...
