Obesity and its related metabolic disorders are closely correlated with gut dysbiosis. Montmorillonite is a common medicine used to treat diarrhea. We have previously found that dietary lipid adsorbent-montmorillonite (DLA-M) has an unexpected role in preventing obesity. The aim of this study was to further investigate whether DLA-M regulates intestinal absorption and gut microbiota to prevent ...

In this manuscript, if a reduced divisor D0 of hyperelliptic curve of genus g over an extension field Fqn is written by a linear sum of ng elements of Fqn -rational points of the hyperelliptic curve whose x-coordinates are in the base field Fq, D0 is noted by a decomposed divisor and the set of such Fqn -rational points is noted by the decomposed factor of D0. We propose an algorithm which chec...

Beagles are commonly used in vaccine trials as part of the regulatory approval process. Genetic restriction within this breed and the impact this might have on vaccine responses are rarely considered. This study was designed to characterise diversity of dog leucocyte antigen (DLA) class II genes in a breeding colony of laboratory Beagles, whose offspring are used in vaccine studies. DLA haploty...

Several models based on the diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) model were proposed and their scaling properties explored by computational and theoretical approaches. In this paper, we consider a new extension of the on-lattice DLA model in which the unitary random steps are replaced by random flights of fixed length. This procedure reduces the screening for particle penetration present in the ...

Moments of the measure defined by products of random deviates are considered with the aim of reproducing the multifractal spectrum of the DiffusionLimited Aggregation (DLA) . appeared in: Journal of Technical Physics 37 (1996), pp.441-444 In 1981 Witten and Sander have proposed the Diffusion-Limited Aggregation (DLA) model [1] leading to the formation of fractal patterns. The growth process of ...

We explore the macroscopic consequences of lattice anisotropy for diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) in three dimensions. Simple cubic and bcc lattice growths are shown to approach universal asymptotic states in a coherent fashion, and the approach is accelerated by the use of noise reduction. These states are strikingly anisotropic dendrites with a rich hierarchy of structure. For growth on a...

This paper presents an innovative way of animating actors at a high level based on the concept of synthetic vision. The objective is simple: to create an animation involving a synthetic actor automatically moving in a corridor avoiding objects and other synthetic actors. To simulate this behavior, each synthetic actor uses a synthetic vision as its perception of the world and so as the unique i...
