Enhancement of neutralization of Sindbis, Venezuelan equine encephalitis, Eastern equine encephalitis, Western equine encephalitis, and St. Louis encephalitis viruses by labile serum factor (LSF) in human serum and plasma was demonstrated. Human serum and plasma could be diluted 1:8 and 1:16 and still retain some LSF activity. Satisfactory storage temperatures for retention of LSF activity were...

The HeLa transcription factor LSF has been purified by heparin-agarose and DNA affinity chromatography, and its DNA binding and transcription properties have been characterized. LSF is a 63-kD polypeptide that binds to two distinct bipartite sites within the SV40 promoter region. One binding site consists of GC motifs 2 and 3 within the 21-bp repeats (LSF-GC site), and the other consists of seq...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly aggressive cancer with no currently available effective treatment. Understanding of the molecular mechanism of HCC development and progression is imperative for developing novel, effective, and targeted therapies for this lethal disease. In this article, we document that the cellular transcription factor Late SV40 Factor (LSF) plays an important role i...

This paper extends our recently developed Life Space Foam (LSF) model of motivated cognitive dynamics [1]. LSF uses adaptive path integrals to generate Lewinian force–fields on smooth manifolds, in order to characterize the dynamics of individual goal–directed action. According to explanatory theories growing in acceptance in cognitive neuroscience, one of the key properties of this dynamics, c...

Light stripe projection (LSP) is one of the most robust 3D recognition methods, and the general method of light stripe feature (LSF) detection is Laplacian of Gaussian (LOG) filtering. If distances to objects are various, as in the case of indoor navigation, LSF width becomes various according to distance. As the window size of spatial filtering influences the performance significantly, various...

Studies have shown that patients with schizophrenia exhibit visual processing impairments, particularly regarding the processing of spatial frequencies. In a previous work, we found that, compared to healthy volunteers, patients were biased toward low spatial frequencies (LSF) to identify facial expression at a glance. Given the ubiquity of faces in visual perception, it remains an open questio...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide and the fourth most common cause of cancer death. Therapy failure was the first cause of death. LSF is a transcription factor regulating gene expression of angiogenesis, tumor invasion and proliferation, and is identified as a chemoresistant gene. Real-time PCR and Western blot to analyze mRNA and protein expression of LSF in 23 ...

Discuss challenges in designing post-surgical lumbar spine rehab program for home health patients. Describe common post-surgical lumbar spine fusion (LSF) functional precautions and activities prescribed by the surgeon. Identify the most common approaches to the LSF procedures and main types of lumbar fusions. Identify surgical LSF risk factors related to increased risk of non-union of the fusi...

The Lebesgue spectrum filter (LSF), a finite impulse response (FIR) filter whose coefficients decay exponentially with a negative factor r := √3 − 2, is shown to be effective preprocessing for spreading code in asynchronous code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems. The LSF has only been studied independently from the well-known minimum mean-square error (MMSE) filter, an optimal FIR filter ...
