Currently users are tend to use multimedia data types in their applications. Main features of multimedia data types are large amount of data compared to conventional data types. In this reason, it's hard to load data into main memory and to search. That is the cause of occur disk input and output frequently, and decrease the system performance. In this paper, we describe to have fast and efficient access to multimedia data using index technique. Index method presented by paper consists of two parts : one is index file part for keywords and the other is posting file part for the list of file names. Of course, we use keyword. But user is not charge of memory for the keywords. Users just use natural language to insert, delete and search data what he or she wants. Internally, System makes keywords from natural language to get access to multimedia data. It provides convenience to users. Using this study to develop one's application for multimedia, one may have a chance for advanced performance of a system and getting a result speedily.

Background: Singapore has the stable healthcare system with utilizing pharmacist manpower in proper positions by demand of populations' health among Asian countries. Objective: This study aims to systematically review (1) the pharmacists' role and (2) the pharmacy education system of Singapore in comparison with Korea. Method: We searched for information about academic, medical and governmental institutions related to professional pharmacists' practice in Singapore by primarily using database such as DBpia, KISS, Google Scholar and ProQuest and the official website of the Singapore Ministry of Health. We contacted and arranged the visit schedules with National University of Singapore, National Health Group's polyclinics, Agency for Integrated Care, National University Hospital, and community chain pharmacies. During onsite visits, we interviewed pharmacists working in each institution and obtained additional documents and materials relevant to this manuscript work. Results: To become a registered pharmacist in Singapore, the pharmacy curriculum requires four full-time academic years and six additional months allotted for pre-registration training. Pharm.D. course is offered for pharmacy graduate students with additional two full-time years of study. Team teaching and inter professional education program seem the most significant method in pharmacy education. Pharmacists working at hospitals, polyclinics, and community pharmacies in Singapore take broader roles and offer more cognitive services such as smoking cessation program and medication reconciliation. Especially, pharmacists in Agency for Integrated Care fill the role of primary care providers for the continuing care of the community through the governmental support toward the patients-centered integrated care. Conclusion: Singaporean pharmacists take significant and active roles in collaboration with other healthcare providers. Efforts such as interprofessional pharmacy education and governmental endorsement of the systematic and interactive care between pharmacists and other medical providers in Singapore are needed to be urgently applied to Korea healthcare system for the promotion of population health.

In this study, the damage to the bridge structure such as the crack and water leakage was assessed due to the increase of the vehicle load and traffic on the roads. In order to make this into the database, as a part of the automation system development for the bridge maintenance, the students themselves designed and developed their own inspection robotic system based on the idea of robots currently being developed overseas. Its field testing was conducted and its applicability assessed. During the design and fabrication, its connection to the details of the unit course taken in the undergraduate level was focused. In terms of new product development, the field application was possible due to the support of the academic-industrial cooperation firms. Furthermore, through the survey of the students, the improvements in the practical skills of the students who participated in this development process was affirmed.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the impact of advanced maternal and paternal age on perinatal outcome in Korea. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study involving 1,622 Korean women who delivered at M Woman Hospital from January to December 2010 and their spouses were included. We obtained obstetrics database which included demographic characteristics, medical and obstetrics history, course of the current pregnancy and advised perinatal outcome. Multivariable logistic regression was used to adjust for potential confounding variables. Results: Women giving birth age 35 or older were statistically significant in paternal age, gravidity, spontaneous abortion experience, method of conception, method of delivery, and multiple gestation compared to women aged <34 years. After adjusting for the confounding effects of maternal characteristics, women aged 35 or older were at increased risk for cesarean section delivery (adjusted OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.22-2.13) and preterm birth (adjusted OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.03-4.63). Conclusion: In this population of Korean women, advance maternal and paternal age is independently associated with specific adverse perinatal outcome, especially preterm birth and cesarean section delivery.

Short tandem repeats (STRs) loci are the genetic markers used for forensic human identity test. With multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays, STRs are examined and measured PCR product length relative to sequenced allelic ladders. In the repeat region and the flanking region of the commonly-used STR may have DNA sequence variation. A mismatch due to sequence variation in the DNA template may cause allele drop-out (i.e., a "null" or "silent" allele) when it falls within PCR primer binding sites. The STR markers were co-amplified in a single reaction by using commercial PowerPlex$^{(R)}$ 16 system and AmpFlSTR$^{(R)}$ Identifiler$^{(R)}$ PCR amplification kits. Separation of the PCR products and fluorescence detection were performed by ABI PRISM$^{(R)}$ 3100 Genetic Analyzer with capillary electrophoresis. The GeneMapper$^{TM}$ ID software were used for size calling and analysis of STR profiles. Here, this study described a forensic human identity test in which allelic drop-out occurred in the STR system D18S51. During the course of human identity test, two samples with a homozygous (16, 16 and 21, 21) genotype at D18S51 locus were discovered using the PowerPlex$^{(R)}$ 16 system. The loss of alleles was confirmed when the samples were amplified using AmpFlSTR$^{(R)}$ Identifiler$^{(R)}$ PCR amplification kit and resulted in a heterozygous (16, 20 and 20, 21) genotype at this locus each other. This discrepancy results suggest that appropriate measures should be taken for database comparisons and that allele should be further investigated by sequence analysis and be reported to the forensic community.

There are many synthetic chemicals, such as di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP), used in chemical reaction processes in industry. The establishment of toxicity and detection of synthetic chemicals that may pose a genetic hazard in our enviornment is subjects of great concern at present DEHP, a ubiquitous phthalate plasticizer, induces a wide range of developmental and reproductive toxicities in mammals. DEHP belongs to the large diverse class of peroxisome proliferator compounds, which include herbicides, hypolipidemic drugs. DBP is a plasticizer used to products containing nitrocellulose, polyvinyl acetate, and polyvinyl chloride such as food wraps and blood bags. DBP is also used in cosmetics as a solvent and fixative for perfumes, a suspension agent for solids, an antifoamer, a skin emollient, and hair spray The present study was performed to examine patterns of gene expression in MCF-7 cells following DEHP and DBP exposure. Changes in gene expression were determined by microarray analysis using KISTCHIP-400 including 401 endocrine related genes based on public database and research papers. Of the genes analysis, we determined that genes detected by array showed a 2-fold or greater change in their expression level(increase or decrease). The results of this study demonstrate that a number of genes were differentially expressed in MCF-7 cells but these changes were not significant. Therefore, we keep going this study using microarray analysis and future studies will examine changes of gene expression on time-course and does treatment in variable cell lines.

This study explores the possibility of innovative government's administrative services to the public by reflecting the social implications of 'Big Data'. In particular, the idea of OPP (Order Penetration Point) and SOP (Service Offering Point) as a management scheme for the extension of administrative processes into the resident's living space is proposed to overcome the inherent limits of e-government service quality, the root cause of which is believed in the segregation of two spaces - the resident's living space and the government's offices. Furthermore, a discussion is made on how to integrate sensor data from the resident's living space with traditional administrative database, which is a new challenge in the course of synchronizing the two spaces. The implications on the process extension are also provided centering around the shift from reactive to proactive services.
