The Large-Scale Concept Ontology for Multimedia project was a series of workshops held from April 2004 to September 2006 [ 1 ] for the purpose of defining a standard formal vocabulary for the annotation and retrieval of video. The Large-Scale Concept Ontology for Multimedia project was sponsored by the Disruptive Tech...

Large dense core vesicle (LDCVs) are lipid vesicles in neurons and secretory cells which may be filled with neurotransmitters , such as catecholamines or neuropeptides . LDVCs release their content through SNARE -mediated exocytosis similar to synaptic vesicles . [ 1 ] One key difference between synaptic vesicles and L...

Large eddy simulation ( LES ) is a mathematical model for turbulence used in computational fluid dynamics . It was initially proposed in 1963 by Joseph Smagorinsky to simulate atmospheric air currents, [ 1 ] and first explored by Deardorff (1970). [ 2 ] LES is currently applied in a wide variety of engineering applicat...

Large numbers , far beyond those encountered in everyday life—such as simple counting or financial transactions—play a crucial role in various domains. These expansive quantities appear prominently in mathematics , cosmology , cryptography , and statistical mechanics . While they often manifest as large positive intege...

In Ramsey theory , a set S of natural numbers is considered to be a large set if and only if Van der Waerden's theorem can be generalized to assert the existence of arithmetic progressions with common difference in S . That is, S is large if and only if every finite partition of the natural numbers has a cell containi...

Large woody debris ( LWD ) are the logs, sticks, branches, and other wood that falls into streams and rivers . This debris can influence the flow and the shape of the stream channel. Large woody debris, grains, and the shape of the bed of the stream are the three main providers of flow resistance, and are thus a majo...

The history of life on Earth seems to show a clear trend; for example, it seems intuitive that there is a trend towards increasing complexity in living organisms. More recently evolved organisms, such as mammals , appear to be much more complex than organisms, such as bacteria , which have existed for a much longer per...

In physics , Larmor precession (named after Joseph Larmor ) is the precession of the magnetic moment of an object about an external magnetic field . The phenomenon is conceptually similar to the precession of a tilted classical gyroscope in an external torque-exerting gravitational field. Objects with a magnetic momen...

The Larock indole synthesis is a hetero annulation reaction that uses palladium as a catalyst to synthesize indoles from an ortho-iodo aniline and a disubstituted alkyne . [ 1 ] It is also known as Larock hetero annulation . The reaction is extremely versatile and can be used to produce varying types of indoles. Larock...
