This study was conducted to investigate the effective cryopreservation condition of Potentilla discolor Bunge, a rare native plant. Seed viability was more than 80% in PVS2 and PVS3 solution treatments. Seed viability was higher in PVS3 than PVS2 treatment. Seed viability was lower than control in spite of sucrose pretreatment. The germination rate was 95% at 60 min of PVS2 treatment and 30 min of PVS3 treatment but the germination rate was low at other treatments. The growth of the seedling wasn't doing that of the control except for treat PVS2 and PVS3 solution for 30 min. There was no statistically significant difference between the encapsulation method and the vitrification method in the seedling growth between the two cryogenic storage methods. This study is expected to be applied to future conservation methods of Potentilla discolor.

Objectives: As the peripheral part of the primo vascular system (PVS) is difficult to visualize, we used a vascular casting material Mercox injected directly into the skin to take advantage of a simple procedure to visualize PVS structures as primo vessels (PVs) and primo nodes (PNs) in the skin. Methods: Two colors of the polymer Mercox were injected into mouse skin. After a partial maceration of the whole body with potassium hydroperoxide solution, we anatomized it under a stereomicroscope to trace the Mercox that had been injected into the PVS. Results: Injection of Mercox directly into the skin allowed the PVs and the PNs to be visualized. This approach can fill the PVS when the material is ejected out of the PVs or PNs. The shapes, sizes, and topographic positions of the nodes and the vessels are the hallmarks used to identify the PVS in skin when Mercox is used as a tracer. Conclusion: The direct injection of the casting material Mercox into skin, with modified partial maceration procedures, is a promising method for visualizing the PVs and the PNs in the peripheral part of the PVS in skin. The polymer Mercox can penetrate through the primo pores of the primo vascular wall and fill the PVs and the PNs. The data prove that PVs and PNs exist on the hypodermal layer of the skin.

In the large scale indoor 3D game scenes, the data amount of potentially visible set (PVS) which pre-computes the information of occlusion culling can be huge. However, the large part of them can be represented as zero. In this paper, the effective hardware structure is designed, which compresses PVS data as the way of zero run length encoding (ZRLE) during building the scene trees of 3D games in mobile environments. The compression ratio of the proposed structure and the rendering speed (frame per second: FPS) according to both PVS culling and frustum culling are analyzed under 3D game simulations.

A total of 230 apparently healthy looking potato stocks and 80 potato stocks with symptoms of virus infection were collected from various seed potato farms in Korea and the incidence of potato virus X (PVX), potato virus S (PVS), potato virus M (PVM) and potato virus Y (PVY) was determined by serological microprecipitin tests. Results obtained are as follows. 1. Serological microprecipitin test retreated the presence of PVX, PVS, PVM and PVY in a number of potato stocks grown for the production of seed potatoes in Korea. 2. The occurrence of potato virus M is reported here for the first time in Korea with experimental evidence. 3. Practically $100\%$ (290 stocks, of the apparently healthy looking potato stocks were demonstrated to be infected with both PVX and PVS. The infection percentages of potato stocks with combination of PVX, PVS, PVM and PVY were as follows. PVX+PVS+PVM:$10.3\%$, PVX+PVS+PVY:$4.5\%$, PVX+PVS+PVM+PVY:$1.03\%$ 4. Irish Cobbler and Shimabara, which are the two major potato varieties in Korea, appear to be symptomless carriers of PVX and PVS. However, when these varieties were infected additionally with PVY, usually severe symptoms resulted. 5. Serological microprecipitin technique appears to be highly suitable for early, quick and reliable diagnosis of PVX, PVS PVM and PVY. It is particularly suited for large scale testing of seed potato stocks for the presence of viruses mentioned above.

PURPOSE. Comparing the accuracy of casts produced from digital workflow to that of casts produced from conventional techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Whole arch alginate (ALG) and polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) impressions were taken with stock trays and custom trays, respectively. The ALG impressions were poured with type III dental stone, while the PVS impressions were poured with type IV dental stone. For the digital workflow, IOS impressions were taken and physical casts were produced by 3D printing. In addition, 3D printed casts were produced from images obtained from a laboratory scanner (LS). For each technique, a total of 10 casts were produced. The accuracies of the whole arch and separated teeth were virtually quantified. RESULTS. Whole arch cast accuracy was more superior for PVS followed by LS, ALG, and IOS. The PVS and ALG groups were inferior in the areas more susceptible to impression material distortion, such as fossae and undercut regions. The LS casts appeared to have generalized errors of minor magnitude influencing primarily the posterior teeth. The IOS casts were considerably more affected at the posterior region. On the contrary, the IOS and LS casts were more superior for single tooth accuracy followed by PVS and ALG. CONCLUSION. For whole arch accuracy, casts produced from IOS were inferior to those produced from PVS and ALG. The inferior outcome of IOS appears to be related to the span of scanning. For single tooth accuracy, IOS showed superior accuracy compared to conventional impressions.

This paper aims to evaluate performances of ventilation and insulation of 6types PVS(Passive ventilation skin) by numerical simulation. The results are as follows. 1) The result of Performance of ventilation by pressure difference, it was shown that the amount of ventilation changed bigger under 1Pa and amount of ventilation increased according to increase opening area (${\alpha}A$). Although same opening area of PVS, it can predict that pressure differences cause ventilation differences. 2) In case of same opening area of PVS, however, it was changed the amount of ventilation each types of PVS that is distinguished opening area by flow coefficient. 3) Dynamic U-value that represents performance of insulation PVS was similar change upper ${\alpha}A40\;cm^2/m^2$, great change in casse of 0.1 Pa pressure difference. In case of ${\alpha}A10\;cm^2/m^2$, it was changed bigger under 0.3 Pa pressure difference, ${\alpha}A20\;cm^2/m^2$ of PVS was changed under 0.2 Pa pressure difference.

The effect of anionic polyelectrolytes, poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS) and poly(vinylsulfonate) (PVS), on the charge transfer complexing between indole derivatives and methyl viologen($MV^{++}$) cation was investigated. The results were compared with effect of NaCl and an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS). Both PSS and PVS enhanced the complex formation of neutral species (indole and indole acetate at low pH), zwitter ionic tryptophan, and positively charged tryptamine and tryptophan at low pH with $MV^{++}$. This result was attributed to the contribution of hydrophobic interaction, in addition to electrostatic interaction. The enhancing effect of PSS was much higher than that of PVS reflecting the higher hydrophobicity of PSS. The interaction between indole acetate anion and $MV^{++}$ was greatly reduced by addition of PVS and PSS. The higher charge density of PVS was appeared as greater reducing effect indicating the importance of electrostatic force in this case. In all cases, the effect of polyelectrolytes showed maxima, and further addition of PVS and PSS decreased the effect. This behavior was explained in terms of distribution of indole derivatives and $MV^{++}$ in domain of polyanions. The complex formation constants and molar absorptivities of complexes were determined, and the values were compared with those in water and SDS solutions.

The perivascular space (PVS) of the brain, also known as Virchow-Robin space, consists of cerebrospinal fluid and connective tissues bordered by astrocyte endfeet. The PVS, in a word, is the route over the arterioles, capillaries, and venules where the substances can move. Although the PVS was identified and described first in the literature approximately over 150 years ago, its importance has been highlighted recently after the function of the waste clearing system of the interstitial fluid and wastes was revealed. The PVS is known to be a microscopic structure detected using T2-weighted brain MRI as dot-like hyperintensity lesions when enlarged. Although until recently regarded as normal with no clinical consequence and ignored in many circumstances, several studies have argued the association of an enlarged PVS with neurodegenerative or other diseases. Many questions and unknown facts about this structure still exist; we can only assume that the normal PVS functions are crucial in keeping the brain healthy. In this review, we covered the history, anatomy, pathophysiology, and MRI findings of the PVS; finally, we briefly touched upon the recent trials to better visualize the PVS by providing a glimpse of the brain fluid dynamics and clinical importance of the PVS.

The expression profiles of low-temperature-related genes were examined in in vitro potatoes exposed to a cold condition for 1-3 days. The expression levels of PPI1 and CI21B genes were lineraly elevated from day 1 to day 3, while the opposite trend was observed for CBF4 and CI21A. In addition, the expression of the genes CI21A and CI21B varied, along with specific tissues (leaf, stem, and tuber) and the treatment periods. Therefore, potato shoot tips were cryopreserved with LS and PVS2 containing different oncentrations of AFP. It can thus be inferred that the presence of AFP in LS and PVS2 was likely to elevate expression pattern of the genes. Furthermore, the concentration of AFP (1,500 ng/ml for LS and 500 ng/mg for PVS2) was the best for the cryopreservation of potatoes.
