As Flat Panel Display become large in format, the data and gate lines turn into longer, parasitic capacitance and resistance increase, and the display signal is delayed. Three dimensional architecture of multiplexing data registration integrated circuit method is used that divides the data line into several blocks and provides the advantages of high accuracy, rapid selection, and reasonable switching speed.

A refined version of automatic micro-organism recognition and identification method, 'O.I.S.M.2' is proposed in this paper, using image processing based on an expert system. This proposed method is based on the segmentation of the organism image, characterizing segment features, which are independent of individual size and length. Complicated shapes of organisms are divided into basic shape segments defined in this paper such as lines, circles, ovals etc. Organisms can then be expressed simply in a set of segments, regardless their individual differences.

Recently UV laser is widely used to process micro parts using various materials such as polymers, metals and ceramics because it has a very high intensity at the focused spot area. It is generally known that there are still some difficulties for alumina($Al_2O_3$) ceramics to directly make micro patterns like holes and lines on the surface of working material using 355nm UV laser because the alumina has a very low absorption coefficient at that wavelength. But nowadays new alumna with nano-porous holes is developed and applied to advanced micro functional parts of IT, BT and BT industries. In this paper, we are going to show the mechanism of photo-thermal ablation for nano-porous ceramics. Inside hole there is a lot of multiple reflections along the depth of hole. Experimentally we can find the micro hole drilling and micro grooving on the surface of nano-porous alumina.

The capacity constraints of tie-lines in production cost analysis are very important issues in the operation and planning of MicroGrid power systems. This paper presents the Harmony Search(HS) algorithm to solve the Economic Dispatch (ED) problem with tie-line capacity limits in MicroGrid system. The applied HS algorithm has achieved efficient and accurate solutions for three-area MicroGrid systems with renewable power units.

Background: There is an increasing concern in the role of microRNA (miRNA) in the pathogenesis of bone metastasis (BM) secondary to prostate cancer (CaP). In this exploratory study, we hypothesized that the expression of vinculin (VCL) and chemokine X3C ligand 1 (CX3CL1) might be down-regulated in clinical samples, most likely due to the post-transcriptional modification by microRNAs. Targeted genes would be up-regulated upon transfection of the bone metastatic prostate cancer cell line, PC3, with specific microRNA inhibitors. Materials and Methods: MicroRNA software predicted that miR-21 targets VCL while miR-29a targets CX3CL1. Twenty benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and 16 high grade CaP formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) specimens were analysed. From the bone scan results, high grade CaP samples were further classified into CaP with no BM and CaP with BM. Transient transfection with respective microRNA inhibitors was done in both RWPE-1 (normal) and PC3 cell lines. QPCR was performed in all FFPE samples and transfected cell lines to measure VCL and CX3CL1 levels. Results: QPCR confirmed that VCL messenger RNA (mRNA) was significantly down-regulated while CX3CL1 was up-regulated in all FFPE specimens. Transient transfection with microRNA inhibitors in PC3 cells followed by qPCR of the targeted genes showed that VCL mRNA was significantly upregulated while CX3CL1 mRNA was significantly down-regulated compared to the RWPE-1 case. Conclusions: The down-regulation of VCL in FFPE specimens is most likely regulated by miR-21 based on the in vitro evidence but the exact mechanism of how miR-21 can regulate VCL is unclear. Up-regulated in CaP, CX3CL1 was found not regulated by miR-29a. More microRNA screening is required to understand the regulation of this chemokine in CaP with bone metastasis. Understanding miRNA-mRNA interactions may provide additional knowledge for individualized study of cancers.

This study aims to investigate the fabrication process of nano silicon mold using electron beam lithography (EBL) to generate the nanometer level patterns by nano-imprinting technology. the nano-patterned mold including 100mm pattern size has been fabricated by EBL with different doses ranged from 22 to 38 ${\mu}C/cm^2$ on silicon using the conventional polymethylmetharcylate(PMMA) resist. The silicon mold is fabricated with various patterns such as circles, rectangles, crosses, oblique lines and mixed forms, The effect of dosage on pattern density in EBL is discussed based on SEM (Scannning Electron Microscopy) analysis of fabricated molds. The mold surface is modified by hydrophobic fluorocarbon (FC) thin films to avoid the stiction during nano-imprinting process.

The most troublesome artifacts in micro computed tomography (micro-CT) are ring artifacts. The ring artifacts are caused by non-uniform sensitivity and defective pixels of the x-ray detector. These ring artifacts seriously degrade the quality of CT images. In flat-panel detector based micro-CT systems, the ring artifacts are hardly removed by conventional correction methods of digital radiography, because very small difference of detector pixel signals may make severe ring artifacts. This paper presents a novel method to remove ring artifacts in flat-panel detector based micro-CT systems. First, the bad lines of a sinogram which are caused by defective pixels of the detector are identified, and then, they are corrected using a cubic spline interpolation technique. Finally, a ring artifacts free image is reconstructed from the corrected projections. We applied the method to various kinds of objects and found that the image qualities were much improved.

A significant new technique in the dsvelopment of micro-wave circuits is the process of untilization of coupled lines in the transverse electro-magnetic field. The bases for this technique are the application of even-and odd-mode characteristic impedances of the transmission line. This article describes the properties of directional couplers and explains a prccfdure usrd to design micro-strip directional couplers with the aid of the computer. The article also describes the experimental results obtained from seven microstrip couplers, which were built to verify the computer program and the approximate solutions. It can be seen that in cases at X-band where couplings of 10 to 20dB are required, the computer program and approximate solutions will produce good results.

Herbicide tolerant rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Ilpumbyeo) cell lines were selected from $\gamma$-ray-irradiated anther-derived cell cultures. The anther-derived cell clusters were small (300 to 400 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in diameter) and uniform ones that were screened by miracloth filtering. The cell suspensions were very efficient to plate one layer onto agar medium and to screen target cell lines. Herbicide tolerant cell lines were selected by 5 mg/L cyhalofop butyl (CHB) treatment by using the small cell suspensions on agar N6 medium containing 1 mg/L 2,4-D and 0.2 mg/L kinetin. Of the cell lines, one line (CHB-1) showed stable tolerance at 10 mg/L concentration after 6-month culture without herbicide suspension. Growth stability of CHB-1 was similar to that of control cell line on 10 mg/L CHB containing medium. In this experiment we established herbicide tolerant cell line selection system by using anther-derived uniform-cell suspensions with $\gamma$-ray-irradiation.
