An cvaluation is made of hardware and software rcquircmcnts to support window-, crinkleand pyramid-mapping on a lincar and a squarc proccssor array. The diffcrcnt mapping stratcgics also lcad to diffcrcnt algorithms to solvc imagc proccssing problcms. Thrcc imagc proccssing problems servc as an cxarnplc of thc algorithmic diffcrcnccs causcd by the mapping mcthods. For thc invcstigatcd 2D proccs...

This study examines the ability of dietary lipids to regulate gene expression of mitochondrial and peroxisomal fatty acid β-oxidation enzymes in the kidney cortex and medulla of 3-wk-old rats and evaluates the role of glucagon or of the α-isoform of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPARα) in mediating β-oxidation enzyme gene regulation in the immature kidney. The long-chain (LCAD) an...

Fasting elicits a progressive increase in lipid metabolism within skeletal muscle. To determine the effects of fasting on the transcriptional regulation of genes important for metabolic control in skeletal muscle composed of different fiber types, nuclei from control and fasted (24 and 72 h) rats were subjected to nuclear run-on analysis using an RT-PCR-based technique. Fasting increased (P < 0...

Alterations in mitochondrial function have been implicated in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. However, it is unclear whether the reduced mitochondrial function is a primary or acquired defect in this process. To determine whether primary defects in mitochondrial beta-oxidation can cause insulin resistance, we studied mice with a deficiency of long-chain acyl-CoA dehy...

Ouali, F., F. Djouadi, C. Merlet-Bénichou, and J. Bastin. Dietary lipids regulate b-oxidation enzyme gene expression in the developing rat kidney. Am. J. Physiol. 275 (Renal Physiol. 44): F777–F784, 1998.—This study examines the ability of dietary lipids to regulate gene expression of mitochondrial and peroxisomal fatty acid b-oxidation enzymes in the kidney cortex and medulla of 3-wk-old rats ...

Following Ajtai’s lcad, Ajtai and Dwork have recently introduced a public-key encryption scheme which is secure under the assumption that a certain computational problem on lattices is hard on the worst-case. Their encryption method m a y cause decryption errors, though with small probability (i.e., inversely proportional to the security parameter). In this paper we modify the encryption method...
