This study was designed to investigate the response of Type III hyperlipoproteinemic subjects to bezafibrate therapy. The metabolism of apolipoprotein B was examined in four lipoprotein subclasses of Sf 60-400 (large very low density lipoprotein (VLDL)), Sf 20-60 (small VLDL), Sf 12-20 (intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL)), and Sf 0-12 (low density lipoprotein (LDL)) before and during bezafi...

Middleware platforms such as CORBA and DCOM provide standard component interfaces, interaction protocols, and communication services to support interoperability of object{oriented applications operating in heterogeneous and distributed environments. General{purpose services and facilities foster re{use and help reduce development costs. Yet the degree of automation of the software development p...

Over the last years, OMG CORBA has been emerging as the ubiquitous technology for building distributed systems. Since the TMN is a distributed system, a lot of research has addressed the issue of using CORBA as its base technology. Most solutions have concentrated mainly on interoperability aspects between OSI-SM and CORBA, assuming that OSI-SM will be used at the TMN element and element manage...

Web services often impose inter-parameter dependencies that restrict the way in which two or more input parameters can be combined to form valid calls service. Unfortunately, current specification languages for web like OpenAPI Specification (OAS) provide no support formal description of such dependencies, makes it hardly possible automatically discover and interact with without human intervent...

In spite of sequent calculus being an appealing tool for describing logical systems, its use along with nonmonotonic logics has been largely neglected. Reasons may be the hardness in implementing a context sensitive mechanism able to detect changes in the theory. This seems to brake the locality of context of sequent rules. Nevertheless, a nonmo-notonic sequent calculus may be helpful if result...

Although low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is widely recognized as the major atherogenic lipoprotein and the primary target of lipid-lowering therapy,1 other lipoprotein species nonetheless appear to be involved in atherogenesis. These include very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoproteins (IDL), and highdensity lipoproteins (HDL). Both VLDL and IDL are triglyceride-rich li...

Synchrotron-radiation computed tomography has been applied in many research fields. Here, PITRE (Phase-sensitive X-ray Image processing and Tomography REconstruction) and PITRE_BM (PITRE Batch Manager) are presented. PITRE supports phase retrieval for propagation-based phase-contrast imaging/tomography (PPCI/PPCT), extracts apparent absorption, refractive and scattering information of diffracti...

This paper designs and develops a tool for detecting HABS from ENVI+IDL+ArcEngine. With a friendly and artistic interface offered by third party control, this tool provides a function of HABs monitoring in East China Sea via Remote Sensing Images inversion. Through rows of buttons on the menu bar, this tool allows calculating spectrum reflectance, browsing field work data, interpolating in situ...
