(LG) tools, introduced first in 2004. LG is a type of game theory that generates best strategies for all sides in a conflict in real time. The paper describes the main advanced features of the versions (through Version 3.7) of LG-PACKAGE released gradually from 2004 through 2010. These releases converted LG-PACKAGE into the software of industrial strength applicable to the wide scope of defense...

A literature search with no date limits in PubMed using the keywords " lymphomatoid granulomatosis " and " larynx " found only two reported cases where LG affects the larynx, but in both of them, laryngeal disease was associated with pulmonary involvement. 2,3 The larynx has its own lymphatic structure called larynx-associated lymphoid tissue (LALT). In the subglottis, LALT is replaced througho...

The superficial strata of ground have been perennially exposed to the action of natural agents such as heat, cold and water. However, grazing agent was not different from them when soils were investigated from temperate rangelands of Kashmir and caused the soil compaction, soil structure degradation and loss of soil organic C and C/N ratio. Soils from three grazing intensities were investigated...

We develop partial differential equation (PDE) methods to study the dynamics of pattern formation in partial integro-differential equations (PIDEs) defined on a spatially extended domain. Our primary focus is on scalar equations in two spatial dimensions. These models arise in a variety of neuronal modeling problems and also occur in material science. We first derive a PDE which is equivalent t...

Lactating rats exhibit stable individual differences in pup licking/grooming (LG) over the first week postpartum. Such naturally occurring variations in maternal behavior are associated with differences in estrogen-inducible oxytocin receptors in the medial preoptic area (MPOA) of the hypothalamus. We compared levels of ER alpha and ER beta mRNA in the MPOA of lactating High or Low LG mothers a...

We introduce a new O(lg lgn)-competitive binary search tree data structure called poketree that has the advantage of attaining, under worst-case analysis, O(lg n) cost per operation, including updates. Previous O(lg lgn)-competitive binary search tree data structures have not achieved O(lg n) worst-case cost per operation. A standard data structure such as red-black tree or deterministic skip l...

Maternal licking and grooming (LG) in infancy influences stress responsiveness and cognitive performance in the offspring. We examined the effects of variation in the frequency of pup LG on morphological, electrophysiological, and behavioral aspects of hippocampal synaptic plasticity under basal and stress-like conditions. We found shorter dendritic branch length and lower spine density in CA1 ...

Cross-fostering studies in the rat have illustrated the importance of the postnatal environment in mediating the transmission of maternal licking/grooming (LG) from mother to offspring. The authors addressed the question of how postweaning social conditions can alter the patterns of maternal behavior. Juvenile female offspring of high LG and low LG mothers were placed in either standard, enrich...
