On the Long-Run Behavior of Equation-Based Rate Control

We consider unicast equation based rate control, where a source estimates the loss event ratio p, and, primarily at loss events, adjusts its sending rate to f(p). Function f is assumed to represent the loss-throughput relation that TCP would experience. Wh ...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha regulates lipid homeostasis, but is not associated with obesity: studies with congenic mouse lines

Johan Auwerx

Considerable controversy exists in determining the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARalpha) in obesity. Two purebred congenic strains of PPARalpha-null mice were developed to study the role of this receptor in modulating lipid t ...

Impact of the Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor gamma2 Pro12Ala polymorphism on adiposity, lipids and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus

Johan Auwerx

OBJECTIVE: The Pro12Ala polymorphism of the Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor gamma2 (PPARgamma2) gene has been inconsistently associated with body mass index variations and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). We investigated the impa ...

B-Spline Snakes: A Flexible Tool for Parametric Contour Detection

Michaël Unser

We present a novel formulation for B-spline snakes that can be used as a tool for fast and intuitive contour outlining. We start with a theoretical argument in favor of splines in the traditional formulation by showing that the optimal, curvature-constrain ...

Salt restriction induces pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 in mice expressing low levels of the beta-subunit of the amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel

Qian Wang, Friedrich Beermann

The amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) is a heteromultimer of three homologous subunits (alpha-, beta-, and gamma- subunits). To study the role of the beta-subunit in vivo, we analyzed mice in which the betaENaC gene locus was disrupted. ...

Two polymorphisms in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma gene are associated with severe overweight among obese women

Johan Auwerx

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) is a nuclear receptor that regulates adipocyte differentiation. Variations in the PPARgamma gene may affect the function of the PPARgamma and, therefore, body adipocity. We investigated the frequ ...

Inflammatory alterations in mesenteric adipose tissue in Crohn's disease

Johan Auwerx

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Abnormalities of fat in the mesentery including adipose tissue hypertrophy and fat wrapping have been long recognized on surgical specimens as characteristic features of Crohn's disease. However, the importance, origin, and significance ...

A three channels, low ripple PFC rectifier using a standard power module

Alfred Rufer

PFC rectifiers are more and more used as front end circuits for low and mid sized apparatus. Especially for the high current applications, the size and weight of passive components are an important factor, also for the economic aspect. The number and size ...

A genetic polymorphism of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma gene influences plasma leptin levels in obese humans

Johan Auwerx

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is a transcription factor implicated in adipocyte differentiation, lipid and glucose metabolism. A polymorphism corresponding to a silent C-->T substitution was detected in exon 6 of the PPAR gam ...
