Functional brain networks associated with eating behaviors in obesity

Obesity causes critical health problems including diabetes and hypertension that affect billions of people worldwide. Obesity and eating behaviors are believed to be closely linked but their relationship through brain networks has not been fully explored. We identified functional brain networks associated with obesity and examined how the networks were related to eating behaviors. Resting state...

An Analysis of Hardware/Software Co-Design Architectures Using SAAM

This paper presents a brief analysis of some approaches in the eld of Hardware/Software (HW/SW) Co-Design. The main eeorts in the design of these systems are focused on the HW/SW partitioning process, and little work is devoted to providing a modern system development environment in this eld. In the design process, some changes to the architectures of the systems are needed to adopt these enhan...

Characterization of functional domains of the su(Hw) protein that mediate the silencing effect of mod(mdg4) mutations.

The suppressor of Hairy-wing [su(Hw)] protein represses enhancer function in a unidirectional fashion: enhancers segregated from the promoter by the su(Hw) binding region are rendered inactive. whereas those in the same domain are unaffected. In the case of the gypsy-induced y2 allele, the repressive effect of su(Hw) is rendered bidirectional in mod(mdg4) mutant flies, and all enhancers of the ...

Drosophila Su(Hw) insulator can stimulate transcription of a weakened yellow promoter over a distance.

The insulator element from the gypsy transposon is a DNA sequence that blocks activation of a promoter by a transcriptional enhancer when placed between them. The insulator contains reiterated binding sites for the Suppressor of Hairy-wing [Su(Hw)] zinc-finger protein. A protein encoded by another gene, modifier of mdg4 [mod(mdg4)], is also required for the enhancer-blocking activity of the Su(...
