BACKGROUND Childhood obesity is associated with early cardiometabolic risk (CMR), increased risk of adulthood obesity, and worse health outcomes. Leg fat mass (LFM) is protective beyond total fat mass (TFM) in adults. However, the limited evidence in children remains controversial. OBJECTIVE We investigated the relationship between LFM and CMR factors in youth. SUBJECTS A total of 203 overw...

Leflunomide (LFM) is a novel anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drug, and inhibits the growth of cytokine-stimulated lymphoid cells in vitro. The effect of LFM on haploid and diploid cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated to elucidate the molecular mechanism of action of the drug. Using a halo assay, LFM was shown to enhance the cell cycle arrest of haploid cells induced by mat...

Live fuel moisture (LFM) is an important fuel property controlling fuel ignition and fire propagation. LFM varies seasonally, and is controlled by precipitation, soil moisture, evapotranspiration, and plant physiology. LFM is typically sampled manually in the field, which leads to sparse measurements in space and time. Use of LFM proxies could reduce the need for field sampling while potentiall...

Linear Frequency Modulation (LFM) waveform becomes widespread in modern pulse compression radar systems in order to improve its target range resolution capability. Conventional LFM based on varying the waveform frequency linearly within the radar pulse width which leads to high Auto Correlation Function (ACF) with limited compression ratio (CR) and side lobe level (SLL). This paper proposed Opt...

LFM signals are widely used in the fields of radar and communication etc., which make signals detection and parameters estimation a very important technology in multicomponent LFM signals. To solve the problems of error detection caused by the cross-terms in WVD-Hough methods and other modified WVD distribution methods, and low parameter estimation precision due to poor timefrequency concentrat...

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of targeting Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) with a specific BTK inhibitor, alpha-cyano-beta-hydroxy-beta-methyl-N-(2,5-dibromophenyl)-propenamide (LFM-A13), for prevention of acute fatal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in a murine model of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Vehicle-treated control C57BL/6 mice receiv...

Compressive Sensing (CS) theory breaks through the limitations of traditional Nyquist sampling theorem, accomplishes the compressive sampling and reconstruction of signals based on sparsity or compressibility. In this paper CS is presented in a Bayesian framework for linear frequency modulated (LFM) cases whose likelihood or priors are usually Gaussian. In order to decrease the sampling pressur...

At present, with the progress and innovation of technology, the radar communication dual function wave has become a hot research at home and abroad. Excellent integrated waveform can make full use resources of combat platform, reduce the size of equipment, and realize the actual functionality of the reality of the battle-field without affecting the radar communication function. The MSK-LFM dual...

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Gastroenterological endoscopists are instructed to bring the target to the 6-o'clock position when they take a biopsy specimen, use a snare, or cut a target organ. This action is performed primarily by rotating the shaft of the endoscopic insertion tube, which can be difficult in some situations when existing endoscopic methods are used. We previously described a metho...

Performance evaluation of high frequency (20-24 kHz) underwater acoustic waveforms such as CW, LFM and HFM was carried out theoretically in the presence of white Gaussian noise, multipath and Doppler. Measured sound speed profiles off Indian coast were used in ray based models Bellhop and VirTEX to mimic the environment with multipath and Doppler. The source signals were convolved with channel ...
