We present a mechanized proof of the metatheory of LF, i.e. the decidability of typechecking and the existence and uniqueness of canonical forms. We use a syntactic approach in which we define a translation from LF to its canonical forms presentation (in which only beta-short, eta-long terms are well-formed) and prove soundness and completeness of the translation, establishing that definitional...

Recent studies suggest improved outcomes and survival in obese heart failure patients (i.e., the obesity paradox), although obesity and heart failure unfavorably alter cardiac function and metabolism. We investigated the effects of weight loss on cardiac function and metabolism in obese heart failure mice. Obesity and heart failure were induced by feeding mice a high-fat (HF) diet (60% kcal fro...

OBJECTIVE This preliminary study aimed to investigate the effects of long-term frequent ketamine treatment on cognitive function in [AQ-A] CRPS patients. DESIGN A total of 30 CRPS patients were divided into two groups based on both the duration and frequency of ketamine treatment; the long-term frequent ketamine treatment (LF) group (N = 14) and the Non-LF group (N = 16). Participants were as...

The Loewner framework (LF) in combination with Volterra series (VS) offers a non-intrusive approximation method that is capable of identifying bilinear models from time-domain measurements. This uses harmonic inputs which establish natural way for data acquisition. For the general class nonlinear problems VS representation, growing exponential approach allows derivation generalized kernels, nam...

BACKGROUND Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a neglected tropical disease for which more than a billion people in 73 countries are thought to be at-risk. At a global level, the efforts against LF are designed as an elimination program. However, current efforts appear to aim for elimination in some but not all endemic areas. With the 2020 goal of elimination looming, we set out to develop plausible s...

In this paper, let $L$ be a completeresiduated lattice, and let {bf Set} denote the category of setsand mappings, $LF$-{bf Pos} denote the category of $LF$-posets and$LF$-monotone mappings, and $LF$-{bf CSLat}$(sqcup)$, $LF$-{bfCSLat}$(sqcap)$ denote the category of $LF$-completelattices and $LF$-join-preserving mappings and the category of$LF$-complete lattices and $LF$-meet-preserving mapping...

The line field (LF) design choice for the lateral image formation mechanism (lateral format) has historically been a fraction of whole optical coherence tomography (OCT) field. However, as OCT technology develops, parallelised acquisition LF-OCT formats (LF-time domain (TD)-OCT, LF-spectral (SD)-OCT, LF-swept source (SS)-OCT) offers benefits and capabilities, which may mean it is now becoming m...
