Behavioural equivalences of various calculi for modelling distributed systems differ significantly because the properties which can be observed through interaction depend heavily upon their mode of communication. A typical approach to describing the semantics of communicating processes is to provide a labelled transition system (lts) which captures the interaction potential of the individual pr...

The deadliest infectious disease in Indonesia is tuberculosis (TB), and South Sulawesi one of the provinces that contributed most cases 2018 with 84 per 100,000 population. This study aims to identify variables could explain proportion TB Sulawesi. data used has many explanatory variables, there are outliers. Sparse Least Trimmed Squares (LTS) analysis can be handle resulting sparse LTS model s...

Leukotrienes (LTs) are intercellular signaling molecules that evoke a variety of responses. They are best known as potent promoters of inflammation. Normally, LTs are produced primarily by leukocytes. As a result, current models regarding the production of LTs in the context of disease focus on the leukocytes as the site of production. Structural cells, including epithelial cells, are typically...

The effects of serotonin (5-HT) on excitability of two cortical interneuronal subtypes, fast-spiking (FS) and low threshold spike (LTS) cells, and on spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents (sIPSCs) in layer V pyramidal cells were studied in rat visual cortical slices using whole-cell recording techniques. Twenty-two of 28 FS and 26 of 35 LTS interneurons responded to local application of ...

Eicosanoids are inflammatory mediators primarily generated by hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A2 to ω-3 and ω-6 C20 fatty acids that next are converted to leukotrienes (LTs), prostaglandins (PGs), prostacyclins (PCs), and thromboxanes (TXAs). The rate-limiting and tightly regulated lipoxygenases control synthesis of LTs while the equally well-controlled cyclooxygenases 1 a...

Leukotrienes (LTs), including cysteinyl LTs (CysLTs) and LTB(4), are potent lipid mediators that have an important pathophysiological role in asthma and allergic rhinitis. Most of the effects of CysLTs that are relevant to the pathophysiology of asthma are mediated by the activation of the CysLT(1) receptor, one of the receptor subtypes for CysLTs. LTB(4) might be functionally involved in the d...

Process Algebras, PAs, are formalisms able to capture the behaviour of a computing system by, for example, giving the labelled transition system, LTS, where states are nodes and where all possible evolutions of the system are arcs; The drawing of the complete LTS is a NP-complete task, so that, the reaching of a particular ‘desired’ state is a problem which deserves some heuristic for improving...
