Large-scale monitoring of imidacloprid susceptibility in the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis
(2011-03)Although on-animal topical treatment with compounds such as imidacloprid has revolutionized the control of the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis (Bouche) (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae), the development of insecticide resistance ... -
Large-scale prediction of the parity distribution in the nuclear level density and application to astrophysical reaction rates
(2007-04)A generalized method to calculate the excitation-energy dependent parity ratio in the nuclear level density is presented, using the assumption of Poisson distributed independent quasi particles combined with BCS occupation ... -
Large-Scale Searches for Brown Dwarfs and Free-Floating Planets
(Springer Nature, 2018-04-13)Searches of large-scale surveys have resulted in the discovery of over 1000 brown dwarfs in the Solar neighborhood. In this chapter we review the progress in finding brown dwarfs in large datasets, highlighting the key ... -
A large-scale shock surrounding a powerful radio galaxy?
(2011)We report Chandra evidence for a 200 kpc scale shock in the cluster surrounding the powerful radio galaxy 3C444. Our 20 ks observation allows us to identify a clear surface brightness drop around the outer edge of the radio ... -
The LAS Story : Learning From Failure
(Routledge, 2010) -
Laser diffractometer for single particle scattering measurements
(2002)A laser diffractometer (polar nephelometer) constructed for single-particle studies is described. It takes advantage of an array of optical fibres and a scanning disc to allow the use of a single photomultiplier tube for ... -
Laser guiding of electron beams in the advanced test acceleration
(1986)The recently demonstrated technique of laser guiding has been used to propagate successfully a 10-kA relativistic electron beam 95 m through the Advanced Test Accelerator and postaccelerator beamline. The maximum transverse ... -
Laser powder bed fusion of soda lime silica glass: Optimisation of processing parameters and evaluation of part properties
(2021-03-01)Glass has a number of attractive properties, such as transparency, chemical resistance, good thermal stability and high electrical resistivity, that make it a favourable material for a range of applications, including ... -
The Last Sane Cowboy & Other Stories
(AiT/Planet Lar, 2007)Earth has unfolded. Reality has stretched out into its more true and more terrible shape. Now, an insane cowgirl stalks the prairie in search of her missing brother while a heartbroken lover confronts the creature masquerading ... -
Last Writings on the Philosophy of Psychology
(Blackwell, 1998) -
Late atrial perforation from tunnelled haemodialysis catheter
(2010)Central venous cannulation is a commonly performed procedure in HD patients. One complication associated with such a procedure includes cardiac tamponade, thought to arise from the guidewire, dilator or venous cannula ... -
Late stages of stellar evolution

Late-time observations of GRB 080319B: jet break, host galaxy and accompanying supernova
(2010)The Swift-discovered GRB 080319B was by far the most distant source ever observed at naked-eye brightness, reaching a peak apparent magnitude of 5.3 at a redshift of z = 0.937. We present our late-time optical (Hubble Space ... -
A Lateral Cap model of microtubule dynamic instability
(1989)The co-existence and interconversion of growing and shrinking microtubules have been termed ‘dynamic instability’, and have been directly observed to occur under a variety of conditions in vitro and in vivo. Previous ... -
Lateral inhibitory networks : Synchrony, edge enhancement, and noise reduction
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011)This paper investigates how layers of spiking neurons can be connected using lateral inhibition in different ways to bring about synchrony, reduce noise, and extract or enhance features. To illustrate the effects of the ... -
The latitude distribution of star-spots on He 699
(2002-04-11)In this paper, the latitude distribution of star-spots is analysed for the rapidly rotating G dwarf He 699, An image has been reconstructed from data taken with the William Herschel Telescope on La Palma on 2000 October ... -
Latitude distributions and lifetimes of star-spots on G dwarfs in the alpha Persei cluster
(1998-09-21)We present a set of maximum-entropy reconstructions of the star-spot distributions on two rapidly rotating G dwarfs in the alpha Persei cluster, from spectra taken at the William Herschel Telescope on three nights in 1996 ... -
The lattice and semigroup structure of multipermutations
(2021-11-10)We study the algebraic properties of binary relations whose underlying digraph is smooth, that is, has no source or sink. Such objects have been studied as surjective hyper-operations (shops) on the corresponding vertex ... -
Lattice design and 3D-printing of PEEK with Ca10(OH)(PO4)3 and in-vitro bio-composite for bone implant
(2020-12-15)The addition of biomaterials such as Calcium hydroxyapatite (cHAp) and incorporation of porosity into poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) are effective ways to improve bone-implant interfaces and osseointegration of PEEK ...
