The linguistic time-series forecasting model (LTS-FM), which has been recently proposed, uses words of variable domains generated by hedge algebras (HAs) to describe historical numeric data. Then, the LTS-FM was established utilizing real semantics induced fuzziness parameter values (FPVs) HAs. In existing LTS-FMs, just FPVs HAs are optimized, while used word set is still chosen human experts. ...

Low-temperature superplasticity (LTS) is crucial to reduce manufacturing cost and enhance the applications of superplastic forming. It well known that grain refinement key point decrease temperature at which attained. Therefore, ultrafine-grained (UFG) materials have become attractive for achieving LTS. Severe plastic deformation (SPD) techniques provide abnormal refinement, thus they been used...

In 7 long-term survivors (LTS) and 8 progressors, all carrying solely non-syncytium-inducing variants, a possible correlation between in vitro virus replicative capacity, virus load, and clinical course of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection was analyzed. Late in infection, 3 LTS and 7 progressors had a high virus load, which coincided with the presence of rapid-replicating vi...

The reticular thalamic nucleus (RTN) is located between cerebral cortex, motor thalamus and the basal ganglia and thought to be implicated in the inhibitory-mediated regulation of motor control. Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative motor disorder caused by the significant degenerative loss of dopamine neurons from the substantia nigra pars compacta. This loss results in abnormal electroph...

UNLABELLED Low-threshold Ca(2+) spikes (LTS) are an indispensible signaling mechanism for neurons in areas including the cortex, cerebellum, basal ganglia, and thalamus. They have critical physiological roles and have been strongly associated with disorders including epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and schizophrenia. However, although dendritic T-type Ca(2+) channels have been implicated in LTS ...

In the cubic chiral magnet ${\mathrm{Cu}}_{2}{\mathrm{OSeO}}_{3}$ a low-temperature skyrmion state (LTS) and concomitant tilted conical are observed for magnetic fields parallel to $⟨100⟩$. Here, we report on dynamic resonances of these novel states. After promoting nucleation LTS by means field cycling, apply broadband microwave spectroscopy in two experimental geometries that provide either p...

Previous work has introduced the setting of Logic LTS, to-gether with a variant of ready simulation as fully-abstract refinementpreorder, which allows one to compose operational specifications using aCSP-style parallel operator as well as the propositional connectives con-junction and disjunction. In this paper, we show how a temporal logicfor specifying safety properties ma...

In the CNS, endocannabinoids are identified mainly as two endogenous lipids: anandamide, the ethanolamide of arachidonic acid, and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG). Endocannabinoids are known to inhibit transmitter release from presynaptic terminals; however we have recently demonstrated that they are also involved in slow self-inhibition (SSI) of layer V low-threshold spiking (LTS) interneurons i...

INTRODUCTION The lateral tarsal strip procedure (LTS) was first reported by Anderson and Gordy in 1979 for the management of paralytic or senile eyelid laxity. Since its description, the LTS procedure has been subject to several modifications by various authors. In this study, we described the Looi suture technique, a small modification in the technique of suturing the LTS to the lateral orbita...

To set the foundation for developing a centre for airway reconstruction, we performed a retrospective database review of patients operated at a tertiary-care university hospital. Over the past 3-year period from 2004 onwards, five paediatric cases of airway reconstruction procedures were performed. All cases had a two stages laryngotracheal reconstruction (TSLTR) for laryngotracheal stenosis (L...
