In conventional HEVC inverse core transform architectures, extra $n{\times}n$ inverse transform block is added to $2n{\times}2n$ inverse transform block, and it operates as one $2n{\times}2n$ inverse transform block or two $n{\times}n$ inverse transform blocks. Thus, same number of pixels are processed in the same time, but it suffers from increased hardware size due to extra $n{\times}n$ inverse transform block. To avoid this problem, a novel $8{\times}8$ HEVC inverse core transform architecture was proposed to eliminate extra $4{\times}4$ inverse transform block based on multiplier reuse. This paper extends this approach and proposes a novel HEVC $16{\times}16$ inverse core transform architecture. Its frame processing time is same in $4{\times}4$, $8{\times}8$, and $16{\times}16$ inverse core transforms, and reduces gate counts by 13%.

Rice is sensitive to day-length and short-day plants. It has a characteristic that the photosensitivity response required for flower bud differentiation decreases under long-day conditions. To identify critical photoperiod required for flower bud differentiation of major cultivation rice varieties, the average temperature was fixed at 28 ℃, and the day length was set at 12 hours and 10 minutes intervals from 13 hours to 14 hours 30 minutes. The critical photoperiod for each cultivar was set to day-length, where the daily cumulative response [(X_{(Critical Photoperiod)}-Y_{(Set day-length)})/(X_{(Critical Photoperiod)}-12:00_{(Optimal Day-length)}) × (28.0_{(Set Temperature)}-10_{(Minimum Temperature)})/(29.2_{(Maximum Temperature)}-10_{(Minimum Temperature)})] was the same for each day-length conditions. The flower bud differentiation time of all varieties was 32 days before heading at the average temperature of 28 ℃ conditions. The critical photoperiod of the early maturing type, such as Woonkwang, Odae, Koshihikari, Jopyeong, were 19:20, 18:14, 18:58, 17:30, respectively. Medium maturing type, such as Daebo, Haiami, Samdeok, were 16:08, 16:15, 16:55, respectively. Mid-late maturing type, such as Saenuri, Sindongjin, Chucheong, Samkwang, Ilpum, Saeilmi, Hwangkeumnuri, Dongjinchal, Ilmi, Hopum, Yeonghojinmi, were 15:58, 15:56, 16:36, 16:44, 15:35, 16:26, 15:33, 16:20, 16:29, 16:13, 15:41.

Promoter hypermethylation of the $p16^{INK4a}$ gene was investigated in 52 sets of samples of tumor tissue and adjacent normal tissue from Korean patients with colorectal cancer, using the proposed modified the Real-time PCR/SYBR Green detection method presented in this study. In normal tissue, 29 of 52 patients (56%) were methylated and in tumor tissue, 23 of 52 patients (44%) were methylated. The 34 cases (65.4%) showed a concordant DNA methylation pattern in both normal tissue and tumor tissue. Analyzing the association between the clinicopathologic features and DNA methylation status of the $p16^{INK4a}$ gene, the DNA methylation status according to by Duke's stage was different while other clinicopathological characteristics, including the age, sex, tumor stage, and histologic type of the patient were not found to be correlated with $p16^{INK4a}$ methylation. With multivariate logistic regression, it was observed that the DNA methylation status of $p16^{INK4a}$ gene in normal tissue was correlated with the DNA methylation status of the $p16^{INK4a}$ gene in tumor tissue (P=0.026). According to a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, a difference in the survival rate by DNA methylation status was found, but it was not significant.

Both ODC and PRDM16 genes were known to be associated with body weight traits in chicken. These two genes were located on GGA3 and GGA21, respectively, where the QTLs of body weights are located. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to identify the SNPs in these two genes and their associations with body weight traits in Korean native chicken. Fluidigm Dynamic Array integrated fluidic circuits (IFCs) assay was used to genotype 7 SNPs consisting g.-353C>T, g.2136A>G, g.2524T>C, g.3607C>T SNPs of the ODC gene, and g.182216C>T, g.182290A>T, g.182491A>T SNPs of the PRDM16 gene. Statistical analysis showed that g.2136A>G SNP of the ODC was associated with body weight at 20 weeks of age and slaughter weight, and g.3607C>T SNP of the ODC was associated with body weight at 2 weeks of age. Association between g.182216C>T SNP of the PRDM16 and body weight at 12 weeks of age has also been revealed. In addition, g.182491A>T SNP of PRDM16 has significant correlation with body weight (BW) at 8 weeks, BW at 10 weeks and BW at 14 weeks of age. These results suggested that both ODC and PRDM16 could be strong candidate genes for body weight traits in Korean native chicken.

Lattice structure, hydrogen absorption characteristics, discharge capacity and cycle life of $V_{22}Ti_{16}Zr_{16}Ni_{39}X_7$(X= Cr, Co, Fe, Mn, Al) alloys were investigated. The matrix phases of these alloys were the C14 Laves phase. Chromium-containing alloy had a vanadium-rich phase in addition to the Laves phase. The chromium, maganese, or aluminum-containing alloys had lower hydrogen equilibrium pressure and larger hydrogen absorption content than the cobalt or iron-containing alloys. The discharge capacities of these alloys were 270~330mAh/g. The discharge capacity according to the alloying element X decreased in the order of Mn>Cr>Co, Al)Fe. The charge/discharge cycle lives of the chromium, cobalt or iron-containing alloys were longer than those of maganese or aluminum-containing alloys due to the lower vanadium dissolution rate.

The potentiometric methods have been used to determined the protonation constants (logKiH) for the synthesized 1,7,13-trioxa-4,10,16-triazacyclooctadecane-N,N',N''-tri(methylacetic acid) [N3O3-tri(methylacetic acid)] and the stability constants (logKML) of the complexes of divalent and trivalent metal ions with the ligand N3O3-tri(methylacetic acid). The protonation constants of N3O3-tri(methylacetic acid) were 9.70 for logK1H, 9.18 for logK2H, 7.27 for logK3H, 3.38 for logK4H, and 2.94 for logK5H. The stability constants for the complexes of divalent metal ions with N3O3-tri(methylacetic acid) were 10.39 for Co2+, 10.68 for Ni2+, 13.45 for Cu2+, and 13.00 for Zn2+. The order of the stability constants for the complexes of the divalent metal ions with N3O3-tri(methylacetic acid) was Co2+ < Ni2+ < Zn2+ < Cu2+. The stability constants for the complexes of trivalent metal ions with N3O3-tri(methylacetic acid) were 16.20 for Ce3+, 16.40 for Eu3+, 16.27 for Gd3+, and 15.80 for Yb3+. The results obtained in this study were compared to those obtained for similar ligands, 1,7-dioxa-4,10,13-triazacyclopentadecane-N,N',N"-tri(methylacetic acid) and 1,7,13-trioxa-4,10,16-triazacyclooctadecane-N,N',N"-triacetic acid, which have been previously reported.

Purpose: We investigated the impacts of the methylation states of the P16 and the hMLH1 genes on pathogenesis and genetic expression of stomach cancer and their relationships with Helicobater pylori infection, and with other clinico-pathologic factors. Material and Methods: In our study, to detect protein expression and methylation status of the P16 and the hMLH1 genes in 100 advanced gastric adenocarcinomas, used immunohistochemical staining and methylation-specific PCR (MSP) and direct automatic genetic sequencing analysis. Results: Methylation of the P16 gene was observed in 19 out of 100 cases (19%) and in the 18 of those cases (94.7%) loss of protein expression was seen. We were sble to show that loss of P16 gene expression was related to methylation of the P16 gene (kappa coefficient=0.317, p=0.0011). Methylation of the hMLH1 gene was observed in 27 cases (27%), and in 24 cases of those 27 cases (88.8%), loss of protein expression was seen, which suggested that loss of protein expression in the hMLH1 gene is related to methylation of hMLH1 gene (kappa coefficient=0.675, P<0.0001). Also methylation of the hMLH1 gene was related to age, size of the mass, and lauren's classification. Conclusion: We found that methylation of DNA plays an important role in inactivation of the P16 and the hMLH1 genes. The methylation of the hMLH1 genes is significantly related to age, size of the mass, and lauren's classification.

To evaluate the anti-tumor activity of Flammulina velutipes extract, we used an in vitro wound-healing assay, and an in vivo approach using a mouse melanoma model. Wound-healing activity in B16 cells was affected by the extract in a dose-dependent manner, indicating that the extract had anti-metastatic activity. The extract also exhibited strong anti-tumor activity against lung cancer when B16 cells were injected into mouse veins together with B16 melanoma cells. The results indicatethat the Flammulina velutipes extract decreased B16 cancer cell growth by inhibition of cell migration both in vitro and in vivo.
