Enhancement of neutralization of Sindbis, Venezuelan equine encephalitis, Eastern equine encephalitis, Western equine encephalitis, and St. Louis encephalitis viruses by labile serum factor (LSF) in human serum and plasma was demonstrated. Human serum and plasma could be diluted 1:8 and 1:16 and still retain some LSF activity. Satisfactory storage temperatures for retention of LSF activity were...

The HeLa transcription factor LSF has been purified by heparin-agarose and DNA affinity chromatography, and its DNA binding and transcription properties have been characterized. LSF is a 63-kD polypeptide that binds to two distinct bipartite sites within the SV40 promoter region. One binding site consists of GC motifs 2 and 3 within the 21-bp repeats (LSF-GC site), and the other consists of seq...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly aggressive cancer with no currently available effective treatment. Understanding of the molecular mechanism of HCC development and progression is imperative for developing novel, effective, and targeted therapies for this lethal disease. In this article, we document that the cellular transcription factor Late SV40 Factor (LSF) plays an important role i...

This paper extends our recently developed Life Space Foam (LSF) model of motivated cognitive dynamics [1]. LSF uses adaptive path integrals to generate Lewinian force–fields on smooth manifolds, in order to characterize the dynamics of individual goal–directed action. According to explanatory theories growing in acceptance in cognitive neuroscience, one of the key properties of this dynamics, c...

Light stripe projection (LSP) is one of the most robust 3D recognition methods, and the general method of light stripe feature (LSF) detection is Laplacian of Gaussian (LOG) filtering. If distances to objects are various, as in the case of indoor navigation, LSF width becomes various according to distance. As the window size of spatial filtering influences the performance significantly, various...

Studies have shown that patients with schizophrenia exhibit visual processing impairments, particularly regarding the processing of spatial frequencies. In a previous work, we found that, compared to healthy volunteers, patients were biased toward low spatial frequencies (LSF) to identify facial expression at a glance. Given the ubiquity of faces in visual perception, it remains an open questio...
