Lakeland School System
The Lakeland School System (LSS) is a municipal school district serving the city of Lakeland, Tennessee, United States, within Greater Memphis.

Epidemiology Data For Low-linear Energy Transfer Radiation
Epidemiological studies of the health effects of low levels of ionizing radiation, in particular the incidence and mortality from various forms of cancer, have been carried out in different population groups exposed to such radiation. These have included survivors of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, workers at nuclear reactors, and medical patients treated with X-rays. Life span studies of atomic bomb survivors Survivors of the atomic bomb explosions at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan have been the subjects of a Life Span Study (LSS), which has provided valuable epidemiological data. The LSS population went through several changes: * 1945 – There were some 93,000 individuals, either living in Hiroshima or Nagasaki, Japan. * 1950 – An additional 37,000 were registered by this time, for a total of 130,000 LSS members. However, some 44,000 individuals were censured or excluded from the LSS project, so there remained about 86,000 people who were followed ...

Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a medical condition in which the spinal canal narrows and compresses the nerves and blood vessels at the level of the lumbar vertebrae. Spinal stenosis may also affect the cervical or thoracic region, in which case it is known as cervical spinal stenosis or thoracic spinal stenosis. Lumbar spinal stenosis can cause pain in the low back or buttocks, abnormal sensations, and the absence of sensation (numbness) in the legs, thighs, feet, or buttocks, or loss of bladder and bowel control. The precise cause of LSS is unclear. Narrowing of spinal structures in the spinal cord such as the central canal, the lateral recesses, or the intervertebral foramen (the opening where a spinal nerve root passes) must be present, but are not sufficient to cause LSS alone. Many people who undergo MRI imaging are found to have such changes but have no symptoms. These changes are commonly seen in people who have spinal degeneration that occurs with aging (e.g., spinal di ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
LSS Data Systems
LSS Data Systems (LSS) is a medical software and service company based in Minnesota, United States. The company developed products for physicians and was founded in 1982. LSS partnered with Medical Information Technology (MEDITECH) in 1982. Together, they developed physician practice management and ambulatory electronic health record software. In 2000 and 2001, MEDITECH invested in LSS and eventually acquired complete ownership of the company in February 2011. After the acquisition, LSS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MEDITECH, a Massachusetts-based company. The company later announced the completion of the merger on January 1, 2014. History "Lake Superior Software" was founded in 1982 in Duluth, Minnesota by Ken Carlson and Stephanie Petersen to develop and support physician billing and practice management software.

LSS (gene)
Lanosterol synthase () is an oxidosqualene cyclase (OSC) enzyme that converts (S)-2,3-oxidosqualene to a protosterol cation and finally to lanosterol. Lanosterol is a key four-ringed intermediate in cholesterol biosynthesis. In humans, lanosterol synthase is encoded by the LSS gene. In eukaryotes, lanosterol synthase is an integral monotopic protein associated with the cytosolic side of the endoplasmic reticulum. Some evidence suggests that the enzyme is a soluble, non- membrane bound protein in the few prokaryotes that produce it. Due to the enzyme's role in cholesterol biosynthesis, there is interest in lanosterol synthase inhibitors as potential cholesterol-reducing drugs, to complement existing statins. Mechanism Though some data on the mechanism has been obtained by the use of suicide inhibitors, mutagenesis studies, and homology modeling, it is still not fully understood how the enzyme catalyzes the formation of lanosterol. Initial epoxide protonation and ring open ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lone Star Showdown
The Lone Star Showdown is the traditional rivalry for all varsity men's and women's athletics competitions between Texas A&M University and the University of Texas at Austin. The name comes from ''Lone Star State'', which is the nickname of the state of Texas. The "Lone Star Showdown" moniker was trademarked in 1996. Being the two oldest public universities in the State of Texas, the two schools are rivals in most major sports (primarily football). Both universities boast large living alumni bases (over 665,000) and a significant following from supporters throughout the state and nation. The football portion of the Lone Star Showdown ended in 2011 when Texas A&M moved to the Southeastern Conference. Texas and Texas A&M still compete regularly in other sports besides football in non-conference play. The State Farm Lone Star Showdown started in 2004 and was created to bring more attention to the rivalry in non-major sports. The Lone Star Showdown trophy was awarded to the winning ...

Logistics Support System
Logistics Support System (LSS) is a tool created by the Pan American Health Organization and six United Nations agencies for the purpose of facilitating the communication among humanitarian agencies, non-governmental organizations, donors, media or countries and enhancing the coordination of humanitarian supply chain. By creating matching tables to collect information from other tracking systems or by having access to already existing data in the systems' database, logistics support systems have the ability to provide decision supporting reports that show which relief supplies were received or delivered, where they have been stored, which relief supplies are requested and how useful they are at a specific moment. Sorting and classifying incoming supplies are also some functions of a logistics support system. Consequently, the function of the logistics support system enhances the proactivity of a humanitarian organization by improving problem traceability and performance monitoring a ...
