Abstract Handover (HO) which can make user equipment (UE) communicate with the eNodeB (evolves NodeB) with the highest signal quality will have bad performance in high-speed railway scenario. In this paper, detailed introduction is made on Layer3 (L3) filtering theory to help solve this problem. HO measurement and HO decision procedure based on L3 filtering are designed and implemented in a dyn...

This study looks at intonational phrasing patterns in read speech produced by third language (L3) learners of German who speak Cantonese as the first language (L1) and English as the second language (L2). Acoustic analyses of recordings from 15 L3 learners and 10 native German speakers revealed that intonational phrasing in L3 German was different from that of natives in that 1) L3 learners pro...

The third-stage larvae (L3) of the parasitic nematode, Anisakis simplex, have been implicated in the induction of hyperimmune allergic reactions in orally infected humans. In this work, we have conducted a review of an investigation into immune reactions occurring in animals experimentally infected with A. simplex L3. The patterns of serum antibody productions in the experimental animals agains...

Aim of this study was to evaluate level of analgesia and hemodynamic response to spinal anesthesia obtained by administering 15 mg 0.5% isobaric bupivacaine at L2-3 vs. L3-4 interspace for inguinal herniorrhaphy, since studies comparing analgesia and hemodynamic response at the L2-3 vs. L3-4 interspaces are lacking. In a prospective, randomized clinical study that encountered 72 patients underg...

Vincent M. Arlet, MD, and Andrew H. Milby, MD: The provided history, examination findings, and imaging studies are all consistent with the diagnosis of acute radiculopathy due to lumbar disk protrusion. Pain localized to the anterior thigh in combination with quadriceps weakness suggests involvement of the ipsilateral L3 or L4 nerve roots. Relief of pain with hyperflexion is a reverse-tension s...

BACKGROUND Existing molecular assays for filarial parasite DNA in mosquitoes cannot distinguish between infected mosquitoes that contain any stage of the parasite and infective mosquitoes that harbor third stage larvae (L3) capable of establishing new infections in humans. We now report development of a molecular L3-detection assay for Brugia malayi in vectors based on RT-PCR detection of an L3...

The infection status of marine fish and cephalopods with Anisakis simplex third stage larva (L3) was studied over a period of 1 year. A total of 2,537 specimens, which consisted of 40 species of fish and 3 species of cephalopods, were purchased from the Cooperative Fish Market in Busan, Korea, from August 2006 to July 2007. They were examined for A. simplex L3 from the whole body cavity, viscer...

OBJECTIVE To determine bone mineral density (BMD) using the posteroanterior L2-L4 (PA) and lateral L3 (LAT-L3) projections of dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and to evaluate the relationship between BMD and the presence of syndesmophytes. METHODS Twenty men with AS were studied. BMD was measured by femoral neck DEXA, PA DEXA, and LAT-L3 DE...
