Optic-flow-based steering and altitude control for ultra-light indoor aircraft
Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey
Our goal is to demonstrate the ability of bio-inspired techniques to solve the problem of piloting an autonomous 40-grams aircraft within textured indoor environments. Because of severe weight and energy constraints, inspiration has been taken from the fly ...
2004SRC-1 and TIF2 control energy balance between white and brown adipose tissues
We have explored the effects of two members of the p160 coregulator family on energy homeostasis. TIF2-/- mice are protected against obesity and display enhanced adaptive thermogenesis, whereas SRC-1-/- mice are prone to obesity due to reduced energy expen ...
2003Homozygosity of the Pro12Ala variant of the peroxisome proliferation-activated receptor-gamma2 (PPAR-gamma2): divergent modulating effects on body mass index in obese and lean Caucasian men
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The objectives of the present investigation were to examine: 1) whether a Pro115Gln variant in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma2 (PPAR-gamma2) is associated with juvenile-onset obesity among Danish Caucasianmen and 2) w ...
1999Salt restriction induces pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 in mice expressing low levels of the beta-subunit of the amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel
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. ...
1999Modulators of ob gene and screening methods therefor
This invention relates to the isolation and cloning of the promoter and other control regions of a human ob gene. It provides a method for identifying and screening for agents useful for the treatment of diseases and pathological conditions affected by the ...
1996Induction of ob gene expression by corticosteroids is accompanied by body weight loss and reduced food intake
Genetic studies in mice have identified the ob gene product as a potential signaling factor regulating body weight homeostasis and energy balance. It is suggested that modulation of ob gene expression results in changes in body weight and food intake. Gluc ...
1995Cavitation erosion, impact intensity and pit size distribution of jet and vortex cavitation
François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat
Three different methods of cavitation erosion measurement are compared and correlated with weight loss rates in two cavitation set-ups: a high-pressure cavitation jet producing a high repetition rate of a wide range of impact intensities and a single vorte ...
ASME1993Effects of chronic lithium treatment on dopamine receptors in the rat corpus striatum. I. Locomotor activity and behavioral supersensitivity
Spontaneous locomotor activity and dopaminergic responsivity were assessed after long-term dietary treatment with the anti-manic drug lithium. Chronic dietary Li administration was not accompanied by the toxicities often reported with other modes of admini ...
