In an ongoing programme to identify a sample of high z DLA galaxies we have found the long sought for case of a Lyα emitter seen in the centre of a broad DLA trough. This is the predicted “textbook case” of an intervening DLA galaxy if DLA galaxies are small, but would not be expected if intervening high redshift DLA galaxies have large gaseous disks. The Lyα flux is 5.4 −0.8 × 10 ergs scm simi...

Background and Purpose Our purpose was to develop a deep learning angiography (DLA) method to generate 3D cerebral angiograms from a single contrast-enhanced acquisition. Material and Methods Under an approved IRB protocol 105 3D-DSA exams were randomly selected from an internal database. All were acquired using a clinical system (Axiom Artis zee; Siemens Healthineers) in conjunction with a sta...

BACKGROUND To investigate the therapeutic effect of far infrared rays and compression bandaging in the treatment of chronic lymphedema with dermatolymphangioadenitis (DLA). METHODS Between 2005 and 2013, 106 patients with chronic lymphedema with DLA treated at the Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. These patients were divided into an infrared and a bandaging group...

The canine major histocompatibility complex contains highly polymorphic genes, many of which are critical in regulating immune response. Since domestic dogs evolved from Gray Wolves (Canis lupus), common DLA class II alleles should exist. Sequencing was used to characterize 175 Gray Wolves for DLA class II alleles, and data from 1856 dogs, covering 85 different breeds of mostly European origin,...

In this proceeding, we show that when the drive laser pulse overlaps the trapped electrons in a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA), those electrons can gain energy from direct laser acceleration (DLA) over extended distances despite the evolution of both the laser and the wake. Through simulations, the evolution of the properties of both the laser and the electron beam is quantified, and then t...

Animals use the temporal information from previously experienced periodic events to instruct their future behaviors. The retina and cortex are involved in such behavior, but it remains largely unknown how the thalamus, transferring visual information from the retina to the cortex, processes the periodic temporal patterns. Here we report that the luminance cells in the nucleus dorsolateralis ant...

Based on our analysis of the behavior of standard UNIX communication software, we propose a new communication mechanism which reduces software overhead. This mechanism is optimized to be used in business applications, such as those of online transaction process ing and da tabase managemen t . These applications are currently designed to operate i n mul t ip le concurrent processes , thus requir...

Diffusion-Limited Aggregation (DLA) is a model of fractal growth. Computer models can simulate the fast aggregation of millions of particles. In this paper, we propose a modified version of DLA, called semantically modified DLA (SM-DLA), for visualizing large-scale networks. SM-DLA introduces similarity measures between particles so that instead of attaching to the nearest particle in the aggre...

We examine the abundance, clustering and metallicity of Damped Lyman-α Absorbers (DLAs) in a suite of hydrodynamic cosmological simulations using the moving mesh code AREPO . We incorporate models of supernova and AGN feedback, as well as molecular hydrogen formation. We compare our simulations to the column density distribution function at z = 3, the total DLA abundance at z = 2 − 4, the measu...

A Nomenclature committee for Factors of the Dog Major Histocompatibility System or Dog Leukocyte Antigen (DLA) has been convened under the auspices of the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG) to define a sequence based nomenclature for the genes of the DLA system. The remit of this committee includes: assignment of gene names rules for naming alleles assignment of names to published...
