Programmable metallizaton cell (PMC) memory device has been known as one of the next generation non-volatile memory devices, because it includes non-volatility, high speed and high ON/OFF resistance ratio. This paper reviews the operation principle of the device. Besides, the recent research results of professor Kozicki who firstly invented the device and investigated it for the memory applications, NEC corporation which studied it for the FPGA (field programmable gate array) switch applications, ETRI and chungnam national university which examined Te-based devices are introduced.

Liver transplantation is recommended for patients with liver failure, but liver donors are limited. This necessitates the development of artificial livers, and hepatocytes are necessary to develop such artificial livers. Although induced hepatocyte-like cells are used in artificial livers, the characteristics of mouse induced hepatocyte-like cells (miHeps) reprogrammed with embryonic fibroblasts have not yet been clarified. Therefore, this study investigated the mechanisms underlying the survival, function, and death of miHeps. miHeps showed decreased cell viability, increased cytotoxicity, decreased hepatic function, and albumin and urea secretion at passage 14. Addition of necrostatin-1 (NEC-1) to miHeps inhibited necrosome formation and reactive oxygen species generation and increased cell survival. However, NEC-1 did not affect the hepatic function of miHeps. These results provide a basis for development of artificial livers using hepatocytes.

In this paper shows the Designed active antenna for wireless LAN that is consisted of 5.5GHz band local LNA and Microstrip Patch Antenna. LNA improved noise special quality using NEC company's NE3210S01 and Microstrip Patch Antenna designed to have omnidirectional characteristic. Designed Microstrip Patch Antenna expressed omnidirectional characteristic special quality having gains of about 8.3dBi. LNA gains 15dB, noise index showed special quality under 1 dB.

"KAGUYA"(SELENE) is a Japanese Lunar Explorer launched by H-IIA rocket from Tanegashima Space Center on 14 September 2007. The dual-mode bipropellant propulsion subsystem of KAGUYA includes two fuel tanks, an oxidizer tank, propellant and pressurant control components, twelve monopropellant 20N thrusters, eight monopropellant 1N thrusters, and a bipropellant 500N Orbit Maneuver Engine(OME). Once the KAGUYA separated from the rocket, it circled the Earth twice and traveled to the Moon, where it entered lunar orbit. All maneuvers were performed through multiple 500N OME/20N thruster firings. This paper describes the in-space performance of KAGUYA Lunar Explorer bipropellant propulsion subsystem.

Purpose : With improved survival of extremely low birth weight infants (ELBWI), there is an increase in the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) requiring laparotomy, and the risk of morbidity and mortality in these ELBWI is increased. Thus, we determined the prognostic factors in ELBWI who underwent laparotomy for NEC. Methods : We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 35 ELBWI who underwent laparotomy for NEC from January 2001 to December 2008 at Samsung Medical Center. Results : Of 480 ELBWI, 35 required laparotomy for NEC; the mortality rate was 20% (Alive group n=28, Dead group n=7). The values of preoperative score for neonatal acute physiology-II (P =0.022) and fraction of inspired oxygen (P <0.001) were significantly higher in the dead group and values of base excess (P =0.004) were significantly lower in the dead group. Values of preoperative heart rate, respiration rate, mean blood pressure, pH, $CO_2$, and potassium ion were not significantly different between the study groups. Intraoperative fluid volume was significantly higher in the alive group than in the dead group (P =0.045). Postoperative infusion rate was significantly lower in the alive group than in the dead group (P =0.022). Conclusion : Good preoperative condition, more intraoperative fluid infusion, and stable postoperative hemodynamic condition were factors associated with favorable prognosis of laparotomy for NEC in ELBWI.

In this paper, we propose a 4-step inference method needed for constructing a natural language communication system. The method is used to obtain fuzzy quantifier Q′when QA is Fisr τ⇔ Q′(m′A) is mF is m"is τ is inferred (Q, Q′: quantifiers, A: fuzzy subject, m′, m": modifiers, y: fuzzy predicate, τ: truth qualifier). We show that Q′is resolved step by step for two types of Q, including a non-increasing type (few,...) and a non-decreasing type(most,...).

For given discrete derivative data in a rectangular re-gion we propose a method to generate an approximated surface which fits the given derivative data in the region and extends smoothly to a sufficiently large rectangular region. Such an extension in nec-essary in the generation of the surface in NC(numerical control) ma-chine.

In this paper, the implementation of the real time LPC synthesizer using NEC 77p20, the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) chip which facilitates and simplifies the digital hardware, is considered. This method shows the good quality with the low bit rate below 9.6kbps and has the advantage of the flexibility and the simplicity.

Development of an automobile antenna printed on-glass for FM radio receptions was discussed in this study. NEC-2 code was used as the design tool in this research. An omnidirectional radiation pattern and reception power level of the newly designed antenna were compared with those of the conventional pole antenna for the evaluation of its performance. The test sites for the reception power level measurement were chosen by their signal enbironmental condition, such as multipath fading, and strong field effect area.

The method for evaluating AF's quality and calculating of AF checking time is proposed in this paper. For the purpose, the fuzzy control method is used. To show the effectiveness, the technique is implemented and the performance is verified on a NEC's 16 bit-general purpose micro-controller. The result shows that although the number of AF checking times is reduced, the receiver can find the best frequency faster.
