Objective(s): The aim of study was to investigate the antinociceptive effect of intracerebroventricular (ICV) microinjection of Origanum vulgare (ORG) extract and possible involvement of opioid receptors.   Materials and Methods: Cannula was inserted into left ventricle of male rats. Five days after surgery Tail Flick Latency (TFL) was measured after ICV microinjection of, ORG (1, 3 and 6 μg ...

This paper summarizes the architecture of Lexical Resource Semantics (LRS). It demonstrates how to encode the language of two-sorted theory (Ty2; Gallin, 1975) in typed feature logic (TFL), and then presents a formal constraint language that can be used to extend conventional description logics for TFL to make direct reference to Ty2 terms. A reduction of this extension to Constraint Handling R...

We present Time-Frequency Logic (TFL), a new specification formalism for real-valued signals that combines temporal logic properties in the time domain with frequency-domain properties. We provide a property checking framework for this formalism and demonstrate its expressive power to the recognition of musical pieces. Like hybrid automata and their analysis techniques, the TFL formalism is a c...

cause hepatocytes synthesize a wide variety of proteins, perform a variety of post-translational modifications, and are involved in numerous diseases. Therefore, hepatocyte-targeted gene transfer would represent an important strategy for expanding treatment options for liver diseases. The successful gene expression in mouse hepatocytes in living animals was recently achieved by a rapid injectio...

Fiber-optic attraction of urinary stones during laser lithotripsy may be exploited to manipulate stone fragments inside the urinary tract without mechanical grasping tools, saving the urologist time and space in the ureteroscope working channel. We compare thulium fiber laser (TFL) high pulse rate/low pulse energy operation to conventional holmium:YAG low pulse rate/high pulse energy operation ...

BACKGROUND Rejuvenation of the aging chest is important to prevent noticeable disparities between the treated skin of the face and that of the untreated chest. OBJECTIVE To compare a high-density thulium fiber laser (TFL)-based protocol for the rejuvenation of the aging chest with intense pulsed light (IPL). METHODS AND MATERIALS We conducted a retrospective chart review comparing patients ...

Nowadays, mobile radio communication systems are mainly affected by frequency and time selective radio channel due to multipath propagation and Doppler shifts. For combating these two effects of radio channels, an OFDM based system that is with fixed and adaptive order QAM schemes and TFL-CDMA technique will be described and studied in this thesis. OFDM technique can remove the inter-symbol-int...

‘‘ I invoke the first law of geography: everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things’’ (Tobler 1970). How could a sentence justifying heuristic calculations in a crude urban growth simulation generate an icon now known as Tobler’s First Law (TFL)? Why has this law resonated so strongly in geography? Waldo Tobler could invoke a first law of geogr...
