The local model fitting (LMF) method is a useful single-shot surface profiling algorithm that features fast measurement speed and robustness against vibration. However, the measurement range of the LMF method (i.e., measurable height difference between two neighboring pixels) is limited up to a quarter of the light source wavelength. To cope with this problem, the multiwavelength-matched LMF(MM...

The local model fitting (LMF) method is a single-shot interferometric surface profiling algorithm that possesses nondestructive, fast, accurate, and robust measurement capabilities. To extend the measurement range of LMF, extensions based on multiwavelength light sources such as the multiwavelength-matched LMF (MM-LMF) method and the multiwavelength-integrated LMF (MI-LMF) method were proposed ...

In this paper, the interaction of lomefloxacin (LMF) and/or cefazolin (CFZ) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by fluorescence quenching in combination with UV-vis spectroscopic method under simulative physiological conditions. The fluorescence quenching constants, binding distance, and binding constants for BSA–LMX and/or CFZ systems were determined. The fluorescence quenching of BSA ...

The combined effects of low-molecular-weight fucoidan (LMF) and fucoxanthin (Fx) in terms of antihyperglycemic, antihyperlipidemic, and hepatoprotective activities were investigated in a mouse model of type II diabetes. The intake of LMF, Fx, and LMF + Fx lowered the blood sugar and fasting blood sugar levels, and increased serum adiponectin levels. The significant decrease in urinary sugar was...

A new surface profiling algorithm called the local model fitting (LMF) method is proposed. LMF is a single-shot method that employs only a single image, so it is fast and robust against vibration. LMF does not require a conventional assumption of smoothness of the target surface in a band-limit sense, but we instead assume that the target surface is locally constant. This enables us to recover ...

This paper describes the application of the Lexical Markup Framework (LMF) for standardizing lexical-semantic resources in the context of NLP. More specifically, we highlight the question how lexical-semantic resources can be made semantically interoperable by means of LMF and ISOCat. The LMF model UBY-LMF, an instantiation of LMF specifically for NLP, serves as an example to illustrate the pat...

Lexical Markup Framework (LMF, ISO24613) is the ISO standard which provides a common standardized framework for the construction of natural language processing lexicons. LMF facilitates data exchange among computational linguistic resources, and also promises a convenient uniformity for future application. This study describes the design and implementation of the WordNet-LMF used to represent l...

OBJECTIVES To examine the effect of chronic exposure to welding fumes on pulmonary function by a direct estimate of fumes accumulated in the lungs. METHODS The strength of the residual magnetic field of externally magnetised lungs (LMF) was used as an estimate of fumes accumulated in the lungs. The results of forced spirometry manoeuvres obtained in 143 of 153 male welders in the original sam...

For a long time, fucoidan has been well known for its pharmacological activities, and recently low molecular weight fucoidan (LMF) has been used in food supplements and pharmaceutical products. In the present study, LMF was extracted from Laminaria japonica by enzyme hydrolysis. The toxicity of LMF in mouse and rat models was determined by many methods, such as total arsenic content, bacterial ...

The goal of this paper is to introduce the joined LMS and LMF adaptive algorithm (LMFSF) for data echo cancellation. The idea is to use an error estimate as smooth as possible, and after comparison with the selected thresholds to decide whether for the next step we apply LMS or LMF. In order to avoid oscillations from LMS to LMF and back, we use two hysteresis loops. It will be shown through si...
