Low-Level Laser Therapy Activates NF-kB via Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species in Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts
(Public Library of Science, 2011)Background: Despite over forty years of investigation on low-level light therapy (LLLT), the fundamental mechanisms underlying photobiomodulation at a cellular level remain unclear.Methodology/Principal Findings: In this ... -
Low-Loss Negative Refraction by Laser Induced Magneto-Electric Cross-Coupling
(American Physical Society, 2009)We discuss the feasibility of negative refraction with reduced absorption in coherently driven atomic media. Coherent coupling of an electric and a magnetic dipole transition by laser fields induces magneto-electric ... -
Low-Luminosity Accretion in Black Hole X-Ray Binaries and Active Galactic Nuclei
(Springer Verlag, 2005)At luminosities below a few percent of Eddington, accreting black holes switch to a hard spectral state which is very different from the soft blackbody-like spectral state that is found at higher luminosities. The hard ... -
Low-N Protein Engineering With Data-Efficient Deep Learning
(Nature Publishing Group, 2021-04-07)Protein engineering has enormous academic and industrial potential. However, it is limited by the lack of experimental assays that are consistent with the design goal and sufficiently high-throughput to find rare, enhanced ... -
Low-radiative-efficiency accretion in the nuclei of elliptical galaxies
(Oxford University Press, 2000)The discovery of hard X-ray emission from a sample of six nearby elliptical galaxies, including the dominant galaxies of the Virgo, Fornax and Centaurus clusters (M87, NGC 1399 and NGC 4696, respectively), and NGC 4472, ... -
Low-temperature homoepitaxial growth on Si(111) mediated by thin overlayers of Au
(AIP Publishing, 1994)High quality homoepitaxialgrowth of Si on Si(111) through an overlayer of Au is shown to occur at 450–500 °C, far below the temperature required for growth of Si of similar quality on bare Si(111). Films of unlimited ... -
Low-temperature homoepitaxial growth on Si(111) through a Pb monolayer
(AIP Publishing, 1998)A monolayer of Pb mediates high-quality homoepitaxialgrowth on Si (111) surfaces at temperatures where growth with other overlayer elements or on bare surfaces leads to amorphous or highly defective crystalline films. ... -
Low-Temperature Quasiparticle Transport in a D-Wave Superconductor with Coexisting Charge Order
(American Physical Society, 2009)In light of the evidence that charge order coexists with \(d\)-wave superconductivity in the underdoped cuprate superconductors, we investigate the manner in which such charge order will influence the quasiparticle excitations ... -
Low-temperature synthesis of nanoscale silica multilayers – atomic layer deposition in a test tube
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2010)Herein we demonstrate a simplified, ‘poor-man's’ form of the Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) technique to grow uniform silica multilayers onto hydrophilic surfaces at low temperatures, including room temperature (RT). ... -
Low-Temperature Synthesis of Ultra-High-Temperature Coatings of ZrB 2 Using Reactive Multilayers
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2014)We demonstrate a route to synthesize ultra-high-temperature ceramic coatings of ZrB2 at temperatures below 1300 K using Zr/B reactive multilayers. Highly textured crystalline ZrB2 is formed at modest temperatures because ... -
Low-threshold continuous-wave operation of quantum-cascade lasers grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy
(AIP Publishing, 2004)We report on the realization of InGaAs/InAlAs quantum-cascade lasers grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy operating in continuous wave with low-threshold current densities at temperatures as high as 188 K. Threshold ... -

A Lower Bound on Expected Communication Cost of Quantum State Redistribution
(2015-10-05)We show a lower bound on expected communication cost of interactive entanglement assisted quantum state redistribution protocols and a slightly better lower bound for its special case, quantum state transfer. Our bound ... -
A Lower Bound on List Size for List Decoding
(Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)A q-ary error-correcting code C ⊆ {1,2,...,q}n is said to be list decodable to radius ρ with list size L if every Hamming ball of radius ρ contains at most L codewords of C. We prove that in order for a q -ary code to be ... -
Lower Bound on the Blow-up Rate of the Axisymmetric Navier-Stokes Equations
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2010)Consider axisymmetric strong solutions of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in R 3 with non-trivial swirl. Such solutions are not known to be globally defined, but it is shown in [11, 1] that they could only blow ... -
A lower bound on the crossing number of uniform hypergraphs
(Elsevier BV, 2016-08)In this paper, we consider the embedding of a complete d-uniform geometric hypergraph with n vertices in general position in ℝd, where each hyperedge is represented as a (d−1)-simplex, and a pair of hyperedges is defined ... -
A Lower Bound on the Ground State Energy of Dilute Bose Gas
(American Institute of Physics, 2010)Consider an N-Boson system interacting via a two-body repulsive short-range potential \({V}\) in a three dimensional box \({\Lambda}\) of side length \({L}\). We take the limit \({N}\), \({L}\) \({\rightarrow}\) \({\infty}\) ... -

(Springer, 2014)An oblivious subspace embedding (OSE) for some \(\epsilon\),\(\delta \in (0,1/3)\) and d ≤ m ≤ n is a distribution \(\mathcal{D}\) over \(\mathbb{R}^{m×n}\) such that \(\underset {\Pi \sim \mathcal{D}} {Pr} (\forall x \in ... -
Lower Bounds on the Blow-Up Rate of the Axisymmetric Navier–Stokes Equations II
(Informa UK Limited, 2009)Consider axisymmetric strong solutions of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in ℝ3 with non-trivial swirl. Let z denote the axis of symmetry and r measure the distance to the z-axis. Suppose the solution satisfies, ... -
Lower-Limb Muscle Function Is Influenced by Changing Mechanical Demands in Cycling
(The Company of Biologists, 2020-12-29)Although cycling is often considered a seemingly simple, reciprocal task, muscles must adapt their function to satisfy changes in mechanical demands induced by higher crank torques and faster pedalling cadences. We examined ...
