Apolipoprotein(apo) E deficiency is an inherited disease characterized by type III hyperlipoproteinemia and less than 1% normal plasma apoE concentration. The role of apoE in LDL metabolism was investigated by quantitating the metabolism of radiolabeled normal and apoE-deficient LDL in both normal and apoE-deficient subjects. ApoE deficiency resulted in an accumulation of plasma IDL, and a decr...

OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to characterize the effect of microcoated fenofibrate (160 mg/day for 6 months) on plasma lipoprotein composition and kinetics in 2 patients with complete hepatic lipase (HL) deficiency. METHODS AND RESULTS Fenofibrate treatment normalized the plasma lipoprotein profile of patients with complete HL deficiency, as evidenced by significant reductions in the ...

Nowadays there has been an enormous increase in the amount of available data sets of any kind. As a result, the need of applying techniques to analyze and extract information of those data has become a crucial task. The intelligent analysis of data opens a new way of addressing problems impossible to deal with so far. Intelligent Data Analysis (IDL) is concerned with the application of techniqu...

Photoshop processing of latent fingerprints is the preferred methodology among law enforcement forensic experts, but that appproach is not fully reproducible and may lead to questionable enhancements. Alternative, independent, fully reproducible enhancements, using IDL Histogram Equalization and IDL Adaptive Histogram Equalization, can produce better-defined ridge structures, along with conside...

This report presents Homa, an efficient and scalable CORBA-based code coupling environment. Homa is composed by an IDL compiler and a runtime support. From IDL definitions of CORBA objects, Homa compiler automatically extracts all the informations which allow efficient and scalable composition of method invocations. The compiler and runtime support rely on two functionalities: the automatic ext...

The International Development Research Centre (IDRC) has recently launched the OAI-PMH compliant IDRC Digital Library (IDL), a DSpace institutional repository. The digital library has been developed to enhance the dissemination of research outputs created as a result of Centre-funded research. The repository has a number of unique qualities. It is the public bibliographic database of a Canadian...

The future of distributed client/server computing will consist of the WWW and Corba environments. First, the WWW is the user-friendly uniform interface to access any distributed resource. Second, Corba is a single uniform object-oriented view of distributed and heterogeneous systems integration. Then these two worlds need to merge to make distributed objects user-friendly. This paper rst presen...

Zusammenfassung. Die Prognose des individuellen menschlichen Geburtsverlaufs ermöglicht die Wahl einer geeigneten Geburtsmodalität. Folgeschäden beim Kind und am Beckenboden der Mutter können dadurch vermieden werden. Die hier vorgestellte Software ANAPELVIS ermöglicht auf der Basis der Entwicklungsumgebung IDL (Interactive Data Language) die dreidimensionale Simulation und Visualisierung des m...
