Two wideband left-handed (LH) transmission lines are presented. A pure LH transmission line (PLH TL) materialized by a defected ground structure with an inter-digital capacitor on a microstrip line has a wide LH propagation region without a right-handed (RH) branch in the reduced Brillouin zone. Another is a broadband LH rectangular waveguide utilized by a shorted stub and twisted Eplane posts....

The higher-order linear moments (LH-moments) method is one of the most commonly used methods for estimating parameters probability distributions in flood frequency analysis without sample censoring. This article presents relationships necessary to estimate eight analysis. Eight three using first- and second-order LH-moments are presented, namely Pearson V distribution, CHI inverse Wilson–Hilfer...

There is experimental evidence that a portion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion is independent of hypothalamic influences. A 29 year old woman with familial pure gonadal dysgenesis developed myelodysplastic syndrome. Endocrine investigations showed discrepancy between serum FSH and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels. FSH levels remained elevated while LH levels decreased. The FSH to ...

In Drosophila, approximately 50 classes of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) send axons to 50 corresponding glomeruli in the antennal lobe. Uniglomerular projection neurons (PNs) relay olfactory information to the mushroom body (MB) and lateral horn (LH). Here, we combine single-cell labeling and image registration to create high-resolution, quantitative maps of the MB and LH for 35 input PN ch...

Antagonists of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH), unlike the LH-RH agonists, suppress gonadotropins and sex steroid secretion immediately after administration, without initial stimulatory effects. [Ac-D-Nal(2)1,D-Ph(4Cl)2,D-Pal(3)3,D-Cit6,D-Ala10]LH-R H (SB-75; Cetrorelix) is a modern, potent antagonistic analog of LH-RH. In this study, the binding characteristics of receptors for L...

Scalable, distributed data structures can provide fast access to large volumes of data. In this paper, we present a simulation study in which the performance behaviour of one of these data structures, called LH*LH, is evaluated for a multicomputer architecture. Our experimental results demonstrate that the access-time to LH*LH can be very small and does not deteriorate for increasing data struc...

In order to determine the changes in the expression of LH beta messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) during GnRH agonist (GnRHa) treatment (0.94 mg/28 days), the concentration of the mRNA of LH beta was assessed together with the serum LH concentration, pituitary LH content and LH response to GnRH at various times during long-acting GnRHa treatment in immature female rats. The serum LH concentratio...

Testosterone (Te) concentrations fall gradually in healthy aging men. Postulated mechanisms include relative failure of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and/or gonadal Te secretion. Available methods to test Leydig cell Te production include pharmacological stimulation with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). We reasoned that physiological lutropic signaling coul...
