Incorporation in vitro of (32)P-labeled lysolecithin (LPC) or lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE) into respectively lecithin (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) of rabbit granulocytes and alveolar macrophages was compared in the absence and in the presence of ingestible particles. Maximal synthesis of PC by intact cells occurred at added LPC concentrations of less than 0.05 mmole/liter, i.e.,...

Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) plays important physiological and pathophysiological roles in the cardiovascular system. Despite this, there is little information about its effects on vasore-activity of resistance vessels. The present study was designed to characterize the effects of LPC in the isolated perfused rat mesenteric arterial bed (MAB) and to investigate the underlying mechanisms of the...

Lemna protein concentrate (LPC; 68.0% CP) is produced by extracting protein from de-oiled and dehydrated biomaterials from plants of the Lemnaceae family and may be used as a protein source for animals. There are, however, no published data on the nutritional value of LPC fed to pigs. Three experiments were, therefore, conducted to determine the concentration of ME, the standardized total tract...

In this paper, improved Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) coefficients of the frame are employed in the feature extraction method. In the proposed speech recognition system, the static LPC coefficients + dynamic LPC coefficients of the frame were employed as a basic feature. The framework of Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is used to derive an efficient and reduced-dimension speech parametric s...

This paper defines a new proofand category-theoretic framework for classical linear logic that separates reasoning into one linear regime and two persistent regimes corresponding to ! and ?. The resulting linear/producer/consumer (LPC) logic puts the three classes of propositions on the same semantic footing, following Benton’s linear/non-linear formulation of intuitionistic linear logic. Seman...

Abstract Staged multicluster fracturing (SMCF) is crucial for the low‐permeability coalbed methane (CBM) reservoirs development. To reveal fracture propagation mechanism and characteristics in SMCF select appropriate hydraulic parameters, this study considers CBM exploitation Shizhuang block, Qinshui Basin China as engineering background. Then, XSite software based on discrete lattice theory sy...

BACKGROUND Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) is generated through the hydrolysis of phospha-tidylcholine (PC) by phospholipase A2 and is converted back to PC by lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1 (LPCAT1). Elevated levels of (LPC) are known to play a pathogenic role in the inflammatory injury of asthma. However, the role of LPCAT1 in asthma has not yet been reported. OBJECTIVE To determine...

PURPOSE To compare neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser posterior capsulotomy (LPC) rates between the Hoya FY60AD, Hoya PY60AD, and Alcon AcrySof SN60WF intraocular lenses (IOLs) after routine cataract surgery. METHODS In this retrospective comparative study, patients undergoing uncomplicated cataract surgery over a 3-year period were included, and those subsequently undergoing LPC w...

Lymphocytic-plasmacytic colitis (LPC) is a common form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affecting the canine large intestine. Cytokines are thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of IBD. However, to date, few studies have investigated cytokine mRNA expression in dogs with LPC. In this study, we investigated mRNA transcription levels of T helper cell cytokines, such as IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-17 ...

In Compressed Sensing (CS) framework, reconstruction of a signal relies on the knowledge of the sparse basis & measurement matrix used for sensing. Most of the studies so far focus on the application of CS in fields of images, radar, astronomy and Speech. This paper introduce new approach called combined basis that is made by separating voiced and unvoiced parts and applying different basis for...
