A correlation between endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and laxative effects was first reported in a constipation model treated with an aqueous extract of Liriope platyphylla (AEtLP) roots. To investigate the correlation between the laxative effect of uridine (Urd) and ER stress response, alterations in the key parameters for ER stress were measured in loperamide (Lop) induced constipation Spra...

For processing a weak periodic signal in additive white noise, a locally optimal processor (LOP) achieves the maximal output signal to noise ratio (SNR). In general, such a LOP is precisely determined by the noise probability density and also by the noise level. It is shown that the output input SNR gain of a LOP is given by the Fisher information of a standardized noise distribution. Based on ...

The law of one price (LOP) plays an important role as a building block in theories of international trade and exchange rate determination. It also serves as a measure of integration for international commodity markets. The LOP states that in competitive markets after adjustment for transportation costs and trade barriers, identical commodities sold in different countries should sell for the sam...

A 20-item Likert Organizational Profile (LOP) was administered twice to 256 employees in 13 Brazilian development banks. Actual and ideal bank profiles were similar to those found in the U.S. and elsewhere: employees want participative-group management methods but say their organization uses autocratic or consultative methods. Factor analyses did not yield the six dimensions predicted by Likert...

Linear-Optical Passive (LOP) devices and photon counters are sufficient to implement universal quantum computation with single photons, and particular schemes have already been proposed. In this paper we discuss the link between the algebraic structure of LOP transformations and quantum computing. We first show how to decompose the Fock space of N optical modes in finite-dimensional subspaces t...

The levels of processing (LoP) effect was studied in Chinese character completion tasks. The same stem cue, either graphemically or semantically related to the target character, was used to generate either a perceptual or a conceptual test. Participants received either direct or indirect instructions, so that the same stem cue also produced either an explicit or an implicit test of memory. This...

BACKGROUND Tourniquet cuff pressures in pediatric patients are commonly set at standard pressures. Recent evidence on adult subjects has shown that safer and more effective cuff pressures can be achieved by measuring limb occlusion pressure (LOP) and using a wide contour cuff. There is little evidence validating these techniques in children. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate i...

N 1909 CASTLE published some observations on the behavior of ear I length in crosses between lop-eared and ordinary varieties of rabbits, describing the inheritance as blending. Shortly thereafter LANG (191 I) applied to these observations the multiple factor hypothesis which had been formulated by NILSSON-EHLE on the basis of his studies of quantitative characters in oats and wheat. Since then...

At the aggregate level, evidence that deviations from purchasing power parity (PPP) are too persistent to be explained solely by nominal rigidities has long been a puzzle (Rogoff, 1996). Another micro price of law one (LOP), which is basic building block PPP, LOP less than PPP deviations. To reconcile empirical evidence, we adapt model behavioral inattention in Gabaix (2014, 2020) simple two-co...
