In general, under the concept of unit load, Automated Storage/Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) have the rack of equal sized cells. However, they are inadequate and inefficient meeting the various sizes of customers' demands in today's business environment. Higher utilization and flexibility of warehouse storage can be achieved by using AS/RS with tile rack of modularized cell. In this paper, the model of AS/RS with the rack of modularized cell is proposed, and the effectiveness of proposed model is presented by way of numerical examples. The model developed in this research, as one type of AS/RS that is more flexible to the size and has higher space utilization than those of existing rack structure, could every useful for the storage of heterogeneous unit load sizes.

In the post genome project era, it is well established that the human genome contains a smaller number of genes than expected. The complexity found in higher organisms can be explained if proteins are multifunctional. Indeed, recent studies are continuing to reveal proteins that are capable of a broad repertoire of functions. A good paradigm for multifunctionality can be found in the amino-acyl tRNA synthetases (aaRSs), an ancient conserved family of proteins. This unique family, which is comprised of 20 different enzymes, is well known for its participation in protein synthesis. Several studies have described numerous examples of these "housekeeping" proteins taking part in extensive critical cellular activities. In this review, we focus on a member of that family, lysyl-tRNA synthetase (LysRS), which has been shown to have a dual functionality. In addition to its contribution to the translation process, LysRS also takes part in the regulation of MITF and USF2 target genes. This phenomenon was first described in mast cells.

The role and effect of aluminum tristearate in microencapsulation were investigated based on the dispersion system of ethambutol hydrochloride in acetone-liquid paraffin. Eudragit RS was used as a wall-forming material. Eudragit RS microcapsules prepared using aluminum tristearate were uniform, free-flowing particles. The phase diagram of ethambutol hydrochloride-Eudragit RS-aluminum tristearate indicated that spherical microcapsules ranging from 250 to 1400 ${\mu}m$ in diameter could be prepared only in a very limited region. Instrumental analysis using an energy dispersive-type X-ray microanalyser and a scanning electron microscope showed that aluminum tristearate was localized near the surface of microcapsules. From these results, it was presumed that aluminum tristearate reduced the phase tension between Eudragit microcapsules and liquid paraffin. The dissolution rates of ethambutol hydrochloride from Eudragit RS microcapsules were consideraly lower than those from ethambutol hydrochloride powders and decreased as the amount of aluminum tristearate decreased.

The hepatocyte nuclear factor-$4{\alpha}$ (HNF-$4{\alpha}$), transcription factor involved in the regulation of serum lipid and glucose levels, has recently been reported to be associated with type 2 diabetes. Therefore, we investigated the genotype for the rs1884614 of HNF-$4{\alpha}$ gene in Korean population and compared genotype of patients with control group. 100 patients (Male 63, Female 37), who previously underwent type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and 100 controls (Male 36, Female 64) participated in this study. According to our present study there was no association between rs1884614 polymorphism in HNF-$4{\alpha}$ gene and T2DM in Koreans although other reports showed that HNF-$4{\alpha}$ polymorphisms might be associated with the pathogenesis of T2DM in Pima Indians et al. We assume that this finding should contribute to understanding of type 2 diabetes in Korean population in detail at genetic level.

Meta-analyses have shown that microRNA polymorphisms have variable effects in different population. Yet, no meta-analysis investigated the association of two common polymorphisms of miRNA, mir-499 rs3746444 polymorphism and mir-149 rs2292832 polymorphism, with cancer risk in the Chinese population. We searched the PubMed, Web of Knowledge, MEDLINE, CNKI databases, as well as Cochrane library, updated on December 31, 2012 for assays regarding cancer risk association with these two common polymorphisms in the present meta-analysis. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were used to explore the strength of associations. The results showed that rs3746444 polymorphism was associated with increased cancer risk (dominant model: GG/AG vs. AA: OR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.14-1.80; recessive model: GG vs. AG/AA: OR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.04-2.30; homozygote model: GG vs. AA: OR = 1.69, 95% CI: 1.10-2.60; heterozygote model: AG vs. AA: OR = 1. 35, 95% CI: 1.09-1.67), and rs3746444 was associated with liver cancer in the subgroup of cancer types. For the rs2292832 polymorphism, the results showed no significant risk association in both overall pooled analysis and subgroup of cancer types, smoking status, gender and tea drinking status in the Chinese population. This meta-analysis suggested that the rs3746444 GG genotype is associated with increased cancer risk, especially liver cancer, while the rs2292832 polymorphism showed no association with cancer risk in Chinese.

각기 암염(rocksalt: RS) 구조와 zinc-blende(ZB) 구조를 가지면서 덩치상태에서 반쪽금속성을 나타내는 NaN 화합물에서 표면의 전자구조를 계산하고 반쪽금속성이 표면에서도 유지되는지를 제일원리 전자구조 계산을 통해 검토하였다. 이를 위해 두 가지 원소를 모두 가진 표면, 즉 RS(001) 표면과 ZB(110) 표면을 고려하였다. 각각의 판에 대해 계산된 자기모멘트는 정수로서 이는 표면에서도 반쪽금속성이 유지됨을 나타낸다. 이러한 사실은 각 원자에 대한 상태밀도를 통해서도 확인할 수 있었다. 각각의 계에서 자기모멘트 값에 대해 N 원자들이 주된 기여를 하였고, 두 계 모두에서 표면 N 원자의 자기모멘트는 덩치 값에 비해 증가 하여 각기 $0.75{\mu}_B$를 가졌다. Na 원자가 자성에 기여하는 바는 미미하였으며 표면으로 갈수록 그 자기모멘트가 줄어들어 자성을 거의 나타내지 않았다. 반쪽금속성을 나타내는 띠간격의 크기는 가운데 층이나 표면층이나 큰 차이가 없었다.

The growing problem of obesity is associated with numerous medical conditions. Several studies have reported that activation of thyroid hormone receptor beta $(THR{\beta})$ is involved in lipid metabolism and thermogenesis. To identify the relationship between the $THR{\beta}$ gene and obesity, we genotyped eighty two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene using the Affymetrix array chip in 209 overweight/obese and 155 normal subjects in Korean population. Of the eighty two polymorphisms, the seven SNPs exhibited a significant association with overweight/obesity in three alternative models (codominant, dominant, and recessive models; P<0.05 after adjusting for age and sex) were rs826221 (+267878 T>C), rs4858604 (+186399 A>G), rs1158265 (+200152 T>C), rs1868575 (+206031 G>A), rs1700939 (+238467 T>A), rs1505301 (+241933 T>C), and rs1924768 (+126491 T>C). During haplotype analysis using HapAnalyzer software, 2 haplotypes (block 13: TTAT; block 15: CTGC) containing significant polymorphisms (rs1700939 +238467 T>A and rs4858604 +186399 A>G) were detected to be significantly different. The results suggest that the $THR{\beta}$ gene may be associated with overweight/obesity in Korean population.

Aims: A case-control study of 300 gastric cancer patients and 300 controls was conducted to investigate whether the polymorphisms rs2294008 in PSCA and rs2070803 in MUC1 might be associated with risk of gastric cancer in a Chinese population. Methods: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped using the Sequenom MassARRAY platform. Results: The data showed that the rs2294008 TT genotype increased gastric cancer risk to an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 2.26 (95%CI 1.25-4.07), TC to 1.72 (95%CI 1.23-2.42) and TC/TT to 1.81 (95% CI 1.31-2.50), while the rs2070803 GA genotype was associated with a decrease in risk to an adjusted OR of 0.42 (95% CI 0.28-0.62) and rs2070803 GA / AA to 0.46 (95% CI 0.32-0.67). Further stratification analysis revealed that rs2294008 in PSCA consistently increased risk of both intestinal and diffuse-type gastric cancers. The effect of rs2070803 in MUC1 was noteworthily also consistent with both subtypes. Conclusions: Our study suggested rs2294008 in the PSCA gene to be associated with increased risk of gastric cancer and rs2070803 in MUC1 to play a protective role in a Chinese population.

The PIK3CA gene, oncogenic gene located on human chromosome 3q26.3, is an important regulator of cell proliferation, death, motility and invasion. To evaluate the role of PIK3CA gene in the risk of Korean lung cancer, genotypes of the PIK3CA polymorphisms (rs11709323, rs2699895, rs3729679, rs17849074 and rs1356413) were determined in 423 lung cancer patients and 443 normal controls. Statistical analyses revealed that the genotypes and haplotypes in the PIK3CA gene were not significantly associated with the risk of lung cancer in the Korean population, suggesting that these PIK3CA polymorphisms do not contribute to the genetic susceptibility to lung cancer in the Korean population.
