This document serves as an introduction to the small set of routines which extend IDL's signal processing capabilities that we are making available. The primary focus of these routines are David Thomson's multitaper methods which are described in detail in 1]. Here we will simply provide an introduction to the routines that come with this package with pointers on how to set them up on local les...

The relationship between the concentrations of intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL) and other lipoproteins and the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD) was studied in 182 consecutive patients evaluated by selective coronary cineangiography. On univariate analysis, the extent of CAD correlated significantly and positively with very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, IDL cholesterol...

We isolated and characterized immunoreactive apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing lipoproteins from human atherosclerotic plaque and plasma to determine whether very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) can enter and become incorporated into the atherosclerotic lesion and how plaque apoB-containing lipoproteins differ from apoB-containing lipoproteins isolated from plasma. Atherosclerotic plaques were ...

The reference model of Open Distributed Processing (ODP) prescribes the use of a number of viewpoints (i.e. partial specifications). Specifications written in these viewpoints are likely to use different notations, e.g. the Computational Viewpoint is likely to include descriptions given in CORBA IDL, whilst the Information Viewpoint might well use a schemabased notation such as Z. To support su...

Distributed systems evolution has led telecommunication management network (TMN) systems to use object-oriented middleware paradigm, mainly CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture). CORBA only includes a mechanism for defining object interfaces not for specifying the behaviour of these objects. The behaviour of a TMN system has to follow concrete and restrictive specifications, which a...

OBJECTIVE We investigated the impact of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene mutations on apolipoprotein B (apoB)-100 metabolism. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 3 subjects with familial LPL deficiency; 14 subjects heterozygous for the LPL gene mutations Gly188Glu, Trp64Stop, and Ile194Thr; and 10 control subjects. Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-d...

Intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL) (d = 1.006 to 1.019 g/ml) and low density lipoproteins (LDL) (d = 1.019 to 1.063 g/ml) were isolated from human umbilical cord blood plasma by sequential ultracentrifugation. The concentration, chemical and apolipoprotein composition, size and size distribution of the neonatal IDL and LDL for both sexes were determined. The IDL and LDL from the neonates s...

An Interface Definition Language (IDL) is a language that is used to define the interface between a client and server process in a distributed system. Each interface definition language also has a set of associated IDL compilers, one per supported target language. An IDL compiler compiles the interface specifications, listed in an IDL input file, into source code (e.g., C/C++, Java) that implem...

Interface deenition language (IDL) compilers generate \stub functions" that provide separate communicating processes with the abstraction of local object invocation or procedure call. Unfortunately, these compilers have not kept pace with recent advances in fast network technologies and component-based software design. Typical IDL compilers do little optimization because they assume that interp...

The eld of nonmonotonic logic, sixteen years old now, is devoted to solve the problem of reasoning under incomplete knowledge, whose good understanding is essential to the construction of AI as a science and whose relevance reaches far beyond AI applications. During these years, many insights have been accumulated in the form of desirable properties the proposed formalisms should exhibit and of...
