In the Concert multilanguage distributed programming system, interface speciication is the responsibility of programming languages, not a separate IDL. However, an IDL is still necessary in order to deene equivalence between declarations in diierent languages. A single representation is also desirable internally to economize on aspects of the implementation. Consequently, Concert has an IDL as ...

In this work we further investigate the relation, first found by Truszczyński, between modal logic S4F and Default Logic (DL), analyzing some interesting properties and showing its application to other general non-monotonic formalisms. For comparison purposes, we start defining a subset of S4F we called Intuitionistic Default Logic (IDL), which consists in incorporating an additional set of pro...

We briefly discuss the state of the art of the research in information visualization. Then, we describe a technique for visualizing meta-information about the content of a networked information system in the context of a digital library, which is being developed at the University of Bari.

Our aim was to identify and quantify the major in vivo pathways of lipoprotein cholesteryl ester transport in humans. Normal (n = 7), bile fistula (n = 5), and familial hypercholesterolemia (FH; n = 1) subjects were studied. Each received isotopic free cholesterol in HDL, LDL, or particulate form, along with another isotope of free or esterified cholesterol or mevalonic acid. VLDL, intermediate...

Abstract Introduction Workforce pressures in general practice have led to Scottish Government initiatives integrate pharmacy teams into practice. The focus is completion of prescribing management-related activities releasing practitioner time for patient-focused workload.1 Activities include medicines reconciliation from immediate discharge letters (IDL), processing outpatient prescription requ...

AIM Evaluation of serum lipoprotein profiles including triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoprotein, that is, intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), and chylomicron (CM) remnant is important to manage coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. The purpose of this study was to investigate CHD or cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk scores with cholesterol levels of six fractiona...

BACKGROUND Existing studies have demonstrated the clinical significance of triglyceride content in VLDL (VLDL-TG) and intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL-TG). We developed a homogeneous assay protocol to directly measure VLDL-TG. METHODS Possible reagents and conditions for measuring VLDL-TG were comprehensively tested, and the "best" combination was determined. Healthy persons were instruc...

Previous studies using classical cytogenetics have demonstrated the presence of the t(11;14) (q13;q32) chromosomal translocation in some cases of lymphocytic lymphoma of intermediate differentiation (IDL), a distinct type of low grade B-cell lymphoma. This finding suggested that the bcl-1 region (located at band q13 of chromosome 11) might be involved in this neoplasm. Using a genomic probe fro...

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-activated protein kinase (PKR) is an important component of the innate immune system that presents a crucial first line of defense against viral infection. PKR has a modular architecture comprising a regulatory N-terminal dsRNA binding domain and a C-terminal kinase domain interposed by an unstructured ∼80-residue interdomain linker (IDL). Guided by sequence alignmen...
