Comparación de analizadores estáticos para código java

El objetivo principal de este artículo es la selección y comparación de dos herramientas de análisis estático para java, esta tarea necesita de estudiar previamente el estado del arte de estos analizadores, ver qué características son deseables para este tipo de analizadores y finalmente compararlas en ejecución sobre los dos proyectos de software libre elegidos argoUML y openProj. Se compara FindBugs con PMD, dos analizadores que pueden utilizarse con la versión 1.6. de JDK. Los resultados de la comparación nos permiten deducir que los analizadores se complementan en cuanto a bugs detectados, hay pocos solapamientos. Como conclusiones podemos decir que la búsqueda de bugs necesita de más de una herramienta de análisis estático.

Inverse relation between FASN expression in human adipose tissue and the insulin resistance level.

BACKGROUND Adipose tissue is a key regulator of energy balance playing an active role in lipid storage and may be a dynamic buffer to control fatty acid flux. Just like PPARgamma, fatty acid synthesis enzymes such as FASN have been implicated in almost all aspects of human metabolic alterations such as obesity, insulin resistance or dyslipemia. The aim of this work is to investigate how FASN and PPARgamma expression in human adipose tissue is related to carbohydrate metabolism dysfunction and obesity. METHODS The study included eighty-seven patients which were classified according to their BMI and to their glycaemia levels in order to study FASN and PPARgamma gene expression levels, anthropometric and biochemical variables. RESULTS The main result of this work is the close relation between FASN expression level and the factors that lead to hyperglycemic state (increased values of glucose levels, HOMA-IR, HbA1c, BMI and triglycerides). The correlation of the enzyme with these parameters is inversely proportional. On the other hand, PPARgamma is not related to carbohydrate metabolism. CONCLUSIONS We can demonstrate that FASN expression is a good candidate to study the pathophysiology of type II diabetes and obesity in humans.

Etude de la torpeur chez Suncus etruscus (Savi, 1822) (Soricidae, Insectivora) en captivité

Some aspects of torpor have been studied among captive Suncus etruscus by recording the nest temperature. Torpors show a circadian pattern and occur spontaneously or can be induced by food shortage. Body temperature can be controlled during torpor, remaining relatively high at low ambiant temperatures. At 20° C, spontaneous torpors seem to be less deep than induced tropors, but both show similar patterns at 5-8 ° C. Spontaneous torpors begin between 01°° and 06°°, whereas the onset of diet induced torpors seems to depend also on food exhausting. The rates of activity (A) and of torpor (T) show under constant conditions a daily variability. Increase of T is linked with a decrease of A and the relationship could agree with A(%) = Ao( 1-T/100), where Ao is daily rate of activity when T = 0. Occurence of torpor among other Soricidae, possible occurence among free living Suncus etruscus and energy saving are discussed
