Background Both aortic aneurysms and coronary artery ectasia (CAE) frequently coexist and are associated with more pronounced inflammation. Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NL ratio) is widely used as a marker of inflammation. However, relation between CAE and NL ratio in patients with aortic aneurysms is not fully understood. This study was undertaken to assess relation between CAE and NL ratio...

26 Nucleus Laminaris (NL) neurons encode interaural time difference (ITD), the cue used to 27 localize low-frequency sounds. A physiologically-based model of NL input suggests that ITD 28 information is contained in narrow frequency bands around harmonics of the sound frequency. 29 This suggested a theory which predicts that, for each tone frequency, there is an optimal time 30 course for synap...

Controlling robots by natural language (NL) is increasingly attracting attention for its versatility, convenience and no need of extensive training for users. Grounding is a crucial challenge of this problem to enable robots to understand NL instructions from humans. This paper mainly explores the object grounding problem and concretely studies how to detect target objects by the NL instruction...

We forecast the ability of bispectrum estimators to constrain primordial non-Gaussianity using future photometric galaxy redshift surveys. A full-sky survey with resolution $\sigma_z/(1+z)=0.05$ in range $0.2<z<2$ can provide constraints $\sigma(f^\mathrm{local}_\mathrm{NL})=3.4$, $\sigma(f^\mathrm{equil}_\mathrm{NL})=15$, and $\sigma(f^\mathrm{orth}_\mathrm{NL})=17$ for local, equilateral, ort...

In this note we show that the volume of axis-parallel boxes in R which do not intersect an admissible lattice L ⊂ R is uniformly bounded. In particular, this implies that the dispersion of the dilated lattices NL restricted to the unit cube is of the (optimal) order N as N goes to infinity. This result was obtained independently by V.N. Temlyakov (arXiv:1709.08158). Let L ⊂ R, d ∈ N, be an admi...

We locate the complexities of evaluating, of inverting, and of testing membership in the image of, morphisms h : !. By and large, we show these problems complete for classes within NL. Then we develop new properties of nite codes and of nite sets of words, which yield image membership subproblems that are closely tied to the unambiguous space classes found between L and NL.

We examine the strong coupling limit of both compact and non-compact quantum electrodynamics (QED) on a lattice with staggered Fermions. We show that every SU(NL) quantum antiferromagnet with spins in a particular fundamental representation of the SU(NL) Lie algebra and with nearest neighbor couplings on a bipartite lattice is exactly equivalent to the infinite coupling limit of lattice QED wit...

Precision of synaptic connections within neural circuits is essential for the accurate processing of sensory information. Specificity is exemplified at cellular and subcellular levels in the chick auditory brainstem, where nucleus magnocellularis (NM) neurons project bilaterally to nucleus laminaris (NL). Dorsal dendrites of NL neurons receive input from ipsilateral, but not contralateral, bran...

The interaction between platelets and tumor cells is important in the formation of pulmonary metastasis. We previously established the 8F11 monoclonal antibody (mAb) by immunizing rats with the NL-17 cell line, a highly metastatic variant of mouse colon adenocarcinoma 26. 8F11 could inhibit the platelet aggregation in vitro and suppress the pulmonary metastasis in vivo by NL-17 cells. 8F11 reco...
