Abstract. This paper explores the potential benefits brought by integration of lidar-assisted control (LAC) in design a wind turbine. The study identifies which drivers can be relaxed LAC, as well how much these could reduced before other conditions become drivers. A generic LAC load-reduction model is defined and used to redesign rotor tower three representative turbines, differing terms class...

BACKGROUND Single-port laparoscopic surgery is a new technique that leaves no visible scar. This new technique has generated strong interest among surgeons worldwide. However, single-port laparoscopic colon surgery has not yet been standardized. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the feasibility of single-port laparoscopic colectomy compared with conventional laparoscopic colectomy for colon...

We have previously reported that Fab fragments of IgGs modified by lactosamination (lac-Fab) can direct macromolecules, including low density lipoproteins (LDL), to the liver. In the present paper we demonstrate that lac-Fab that is specific for LDL is an effective and selective hypolipoprotein agent. A plasma pool of about 60 mg/dl of apoprotein B (apo B) was induced in rats by bolus injection...

Lung adenocarcinomas (LAC) of smokers and never-smokers differ from one another in epidemiology, and clinical and molecular characteristics. The pathogenetic differences between these tumors are potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Mouse carcinogenesis models of human LAC are proven tools applicable for the identification of these molecular changes. Allelic loss frequency on human chro...

The effects of binding inducer and anti-inducer of the Escherichia coli lac operon to the lac repressor were examined by taking advantage of fluorine-19 NMR. The fluorine nucleus was biosynthetically incorporated into the lac repressor with either 5-fluorotryptophan or 3-fluorotyrosine. It is suggested that these small effector molecules influence the operator-binding properties of the tetramer...

Using an automated cell counting technique developed previously (Case et al., Ecology and Evolution 2014; 4: 3494), we explore the lifespan effects of lac-1, a ceramide synthase gene paralogous to lag-1 in Neurospora crassa in conjunction with the band bd (ras-1) gene. We find that the replicative lifespan of a lac-1KObd double mutants is short, about one race tube cycle, and this double mutant...

Analyses of bunyavirus-infected cell extracts identified at least two virus-induced nonstructural polypeptides. With snowshoe hare (SSH), La Crosse (LAC), and six SSH-LAC reassortant viruses, it was shown that one of these nonstructural polypeptides (NSs, approximate molecular weight, 7.4 X 10(3)) is coded by the SSH small (S)-size viral RNA species. This nonstructural polypeptide was not detec...
