We present our observational attempts to precisely measure the central mass of a proto-brown dwarf candidate, L328-IRS, in order to investigate whether L328-IRS is in the substellar mass regime. Observations were made for the central region of L328-IRS with the dust continuum and CO isotopologue line emission at ALMA band 6, discovering the detailed outflow activities and a deconvolved disk structure of a size of ${\sim}87AU{\times}{\sim}37AU$. We investigated the rotational velocities as a function of the disk radius, finding that its motions between 130 AU and 60 AU are partially fitted with a Keplerian orbit by a stellar object of ${\sim}0.30M_{\odot}$, while the motions within 60 AU do not follow any Keplerian orbit at all. This makes it difficult to lead a reliable estimation of the mass of L328-IRS. Nonetheless, our ALMA observations were useful enough to well constrain the inclination angle of the outflow cavity of L328-IRS as ${\sim}66^{\circ}$ degree, enabling us to better determine the mass accretion rate of ${\sim}8.9{\times}10^{-7}M_{\odot}yr-1$.From assumptions that the internal luminosity of L328-IRS is mostly due to this mass accretion process in the disk, or that L328-IRS has mostly accumulated the mass through this constant accretion rate during its outflow activity, its mass was estimated to be ${\sim}0.012-0.023M_{\odot}$, suggesting L328-IRS to be a substellar object. However, we leave our identification of L328-IRS as a proto-brown dwarf to be tentative because of various uncertainties especially regarding the mass accretion rate.

We model the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the Class 0 protostar L1527 IRS using a dust continuum radiative transfer code RADMC-3D to study the initial condition of gravitational collapse. To constrain the envelope structure, we use the data obtained by Herschel /PACS, which covers the far-infrared regime ($55-190{\mu}m$) where the SED of L1527 IRS peaks. According to our modeling, a more flattened density profile fits the far-infrared SED of L1527 IRS better than the density profile of a rotating and infalling envelope. Thus, we employ the density structure of a Bonnor-Ebert sphere, which consists of the inner flat-topped and the outer power-law regions and is often used for describing the density structure of the youngest sources in the low mass star formation process. A Bonnor-Ebert sphere fits very well the observed SED at ${\lambda}$ > $10{\mu}m$, suggesting that L1527 IRS might collapse from an unstable Bonnor-Ebert sphere rather than a singular isothermal sphere.

In this study, occurrence of canine brucellosis was surveyed in kennels, indoor dogs and stray dogs in Korea, and infrequent restriction site-polymerase chain reaction (IRS-PCR) was applied to analyze DNA polymorphism of Brucella canis (B. canis) isolates. Among a total of 501 dogs tested, B. canis antibodies by both rapid screening agglutination with 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME RSAT) and immunochromatographic assay were detected in only 14.1% of kennel dogs. There were no seropositive cases in indoor dogs and stray dogs. DNA polymorphism was observed in 16 B. canis isolates by the IRS-PCR. Sixteen isolates were tested with primers, PsalA, PsalC, PsalG and PsalT, and different primers produced different DNA patterns. In regard to the IRS-PCR pattern of 16 isolates, 9 (56.3%) belonged to the IRS-PCR type I. The remaining 7 were differentiated as type II, III and IV. An application of the primer PsalC provided discrimination between B. canis isolated in 2005 and others.

Objective: Production of ROS from glucose toxicity results in injury of pancreatic $\beta$-cells in diabetes models. This study was undertaken to examine the influence of Lespedeza Cuneata extract (LCE) on cytoprotective effects on glucose toxicity, insulin secretion and gene expression in RIN-m5F cells. Methods: First, we measured LCE's antioxidant activity by DPPH free radical-scavenging activity and SOD activity. After the various concentrations of LCE were added to the RIN-m5F cells, we measured cell viability with glucose stimulation by MTT assay and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. We analyzed gene expression with Agilent whole mouse genome 44K oligo DNA microarray and searched for related pathways in KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes). Lastly we measured INS-1, INS-2, INS-R, IRS-1, IRS-2, IRS-3, GLP-1R, and GLP-2R mRNA expression by real time RT-PCR. Results: Free radical-scavenging activity, SOD activity and insulin secretion increased dependent on LCE concentration, but LCE did not show considerable cytoprotective effect on RIN-m5F cells. More than twice expressed gene was 6362 in Oligo DNA chip. In KEGG, the most related pathway was the metabolic pathway. In the insulin signaling pathway, up expressed genes were Irs1, Mapk8, Akt1, and Lipe and down expressed genes were Rhoq, Fbp2, Prkar2b, Gck, and Prkag1. In real time RT-PCR, IRS-2, and IRS-3 expression increased significantly compared to the control group on LCE $12{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ concentration and GCK expression decreased significantly compared to the control group. Conclusions: These results show that LCE encourages insulin secretion and insulin metabolism by complicated gene mechanisms. Further mechanism study and clinical study seem to be necessary about Lespedeza Cuneata.

To improve spectrum and energy efficiency in the fifth generation (5G) wireless channels, intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) transmissions have been envisioned, possibly towards the sixth generation (6G) networks. In this paper, we analyze the bit-error rate (BER) performance of intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) assisted non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems. First, we derive a closed-form expression of the BER in terms of Q functions. Then we analyze the BER improvement of the IRS NOMA system over the conventional NOMA system with respect to the power allocation. Furthermore, we also demonstrate numerically the BER improvement of the IRS NOMA network over the conventional NOMA network in respect of the number of reflecting devices.

We model the Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of Class 0 protostar L1527 IRS using a radiative transfer code RADMC-3D. In addition to the photometry data from literatures, we include the Herschel/PACS data which well covers the far-infrared SED peak of L1527 IRS, providing precise constraints to the density structure and other physical properties of its circumstellar envelope. Previously, Tobin et al. (2013) presented a dust continuum modeling results using a rotating and infalling envelope (Terebey and Shu, & Cassen 1984 ; TSC envelope), which originally describes a power-law density profile (${\rho}{\propto}r-{\alpha}$) with the power-law index (${\alpha}$) of 1.5. However, we find that Herschel/PACS data are better fitted with a shallower power-law density profile. This smaller power-law might be attributed to a inner envelope. Thus, we fit the SED of L1527 IRS with a Bonnor-Ebert sphere, which is a combination of the inner flat-topped and the outer power-law (${\alpha}=2$) density profiles. This Bonnor-Ebert sphere is often used to explain the density profile of prestellar cores, which is considered the earliest stages of star formation. The well-fitted SED with a Bonnor-Ebert sphere suggests that L1527 IRS might have collapsed from a Bonnor-Ebert sphere rather than a singular isothermal sphere.

The insulin-mediated Ras/mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade was examined in SK-N-BE(2) and PC12 cells, which can and cannot produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), respectively. Tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor and insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) was much lower in SK-N-BE(2) cells than in PC12 cells when the cells were treated with insulin. The insulin-mediated interaction of IRS-1 with Grb2 was observed in PC12 but not in SK-N-BE(2) cells. Moreover, the activity of extracellular-signal-related kinase (ERK) was much lower in SK-N-BE(2) than in PC12 cells when the cells were treated with insulin. Application of exogenous $H_2O_2$ caused increased tyrosine phosphorylation and Grb2 binding to IRS-1 in SK-N-BE(2) cells, while exposure to an $H_2O_2$ scavenger (N-acetylcysteine) or to a phophatidylinositol-3 kinase inhibitor (wortmannin), and expression of a dominant negative Rac1, decreased the activation of ERK in insulin-stimulated PC12 cells. These results indicate that the transient increase of ROS is needed to activate ERK in insulin-mediated signaling and that an inability to generate ROS is the reason for the insulin insensitivity of SK-N-BE(2) cells.

This paper considers the jointly active and passive beamforming design in the IRS-aided MISO downlink vehicle communication system where both V2I and V2V communication paradigms coexist. We formulate the problem as an optimization problem aiming to minimize the total transmit power of the base station subject to SINR requirements of both V2I and V2V users, total transmit power of base station and IRS's phase shift constraints. To deal with this non-convex problem, we propose a method which can alternately optimize the active beamforming at the base station and the passive beamforming at the IRS. By using first-order Taylor expansion, matrix analysis theory and penalized convex-concave process method, the non-convex optimization problem with coupled variables is converted into two decoupled convex sub-problems. The simulation results show that the proposed alternate optimization algorithm can significantly decrease the total transmit power of the vehicle base station.
