For a compact Hausdorff space X, let J be the ordered set associated with of all finite open covers X such that there exists nJ, where nJ is dimension ∂. Therefore, we have Hˇp(X;Z), 0≤p≤n=nJ. continuous self-map f on α∈J an cover and Lf(α)={Lf(U)|U∈α}. Then, fiber L˙f(α) Xf induced by Lf(α). In this paper, define topological entropy entL(f) as supremum ent(f,L˙f(α)) through Xf={Lf(U);U⊂X}, Lf(...

BACKGROUND Lymphatic filariasis (LF) and leprosy are disabling infectious diseases endemic in Nepal. LF infection can lead to lymphoedema and hydrocoele, while secondary effects of leprosy infection include impairments to hands, eyes and feet. The disabling effects of both conditions can be managed through self-care and the supportive effects of self-help groups (SHGs). A network of SHGs exists...

In order to support the case for a certification of elimination of lymphatic filariasis (LF) in some Caribbean countries, we compared the prevalence of circulating Wuchereria bancrofti antigen in communities in Guyana, Suriname, and Trinidad. For the study, we assayed school children in six communities in Guyana, five communities in Suriname, and three communities in Trinidad for the prevalence...

Lactoferrin (Lf) is a potential-targeting ligand for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells because of its specific binding with asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR). In this present work, a doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded, Lf-modified, polyethylene glycol (PEG)ylated liposome (Lf-PLS) system was developed, and its targeting effect and antitumor efficacy to HCC was also explored. The DOX-loaded Lf-PLS sy...

Liver failure (LF) is a clinical syndrome with complex clinical manifestations. The clinical diagnosis and classification of LF are still considerably different internationally. Based on the pace of the disease progression and its possible reversibility, LF can be divided into two categories: acute and chronic LF. However, a great difference exists in the diagnostic criteria between China, Euro...

This paper discusses the low-frequency (LF) noise in submicron nMOSFETs under controlled transistor aging by hot-carrier stress. Both traditional, steady-state LF noise as well as the LF noise under periodic large-signal excitation were found to increase upon device degradation, for both hydrogen passivated and deuterium passivated Si–SiO2 interfaces. As hot-carrier degradation is slower in deu...
