The demand for high quality of multimedia applications, which far surpasses the rapid evolution of transmission and storage technologies, makes better compression coding capabilities ever increasingly more important. In order to provide enhanced video coding performance, this paper proposes an efficient competition-based motion vector coding scheme. The proposed algorithm adaptively forms the motion vector predictors based on the contexts of scene characteristics such as camera motion and nearby motion vectors, providing more efficient candidate predictors than the previous competition-based motion vector coding schemes which resort to the fixed candidates optimized by extensive simulations. Up to 200% of compression gain was observed in the experimental results for the proposed scheme applied to the motion vector selection for skip mode processing.

Employing in-depth interview, this study sought to explore the meaning of game play among those adolescent game addicts. Recent evolution of game text and rapid diffusion of smart media contributed to their addictive game use. Stronger relationship-building with their peer group through game play was also more important for them. In addition, alienation from family, school and society apparently led those adolescents to evaluate the virtual experience to be more valuable and meaningful. Lack of proper parental mediation and intervention from the school authority caused them to spend more time in the virtual world. Without understanding the complex social context surrounding the adolescents, a systematic approach to attenuate the problem of game addiction is hardly attainable.

Bcl-2 interacting cell death suppressor (Bis) has been shown to have anti-apoptotic and anti-stress functions. Recently, increased Bis expression was reported to correlate with glioma aggressiveness. Here, we investigated the effect of Bis knockdown on the acquisition of the invasive phenotype of A172 glioma cells, induced by 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-3-acetate (TPA), using a Transwell assay. Bis knockdown resulted in a significant decrease in the migration and invasion of A172 cells. Furthermore, Bis knockdown notably decreased TPA-induced matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) activity and mRNA expression, as measured by zymography and quantitative real time PCR, respectively. A luciferase reporter assay indicated that Bis suppression significantly down-regulated NF-${\kappa}B$-driven transcription. Finally, we demonstrated that the rapid phosphorylation and subsequent degradation of $I{\kappa}B-{\alpha}$ induced by TPA was remarkably delayed by Bis knockdown. These results suggest that Bis regulates the invasive ability of glioma cells elicited by TPA, by modulating NF-${\kappa}B$ activation, and subsequent induction of MMP-9 mRNA.

Rapid development of life sciences about human cloning in real world is reflected alternately ahead and behind in the movies and it brings up the conversation topics about the scenario of diverse human life in the near future. This study is the consideration of the characteristic of the human cloning motif in movies, focused on the feature film which consider human cloning a philosophical point of view. The emergence and evolution of somatic cell cloning conclude the problem of philosophical anthropology. And identity and un-naturality of human clone boils down to desire and dilemma of character in . The dramatize to the exclusion of genre's attribution and the setting of twofold relationship between original and clone as well as real mother and daughter prove the critical mind of as stated above. This study also reported it reinforces the characteristic of the human cloning motif in movies that plotting with parallel narrative and the consistent attitudes with various cinematic expression and techniques.

The rapid growth of instructional videos repositories and their widespread use as a tool to support education have raised the need of studies to assess the quality of those educational resources and their impact on the quality of learning process that depends on them. Khan Academy (KA) repository is one of the prominent educational videos' repositories. It is famous and widely used by different types of learners, students and teachers. To better understand its characteristics and the impact of such repositories on education, we gathered a huge amount of KA data using its API and different web scraping techniques, then we analyzed them. This paper reports the first quantitative and descriptive analysis of Khan Academy repository (KA repository) of open video lessons. First, we described the structure of repository. Then, we demonstrated some analyses highlighting content-based growth and evolution. Those descriptive analyses spotted the main important findings in KA repository. Finally, we focused on users' interactions with video lessons. Those interactions consisted of questions and answers posted on videos. We developed interaction profiles for those videos based on the number of users' interactions. We conducted regression analysis and statistical tests to mine the relation between those profiles and some quality related proposed metrics. The results of analysis showed that all interaction profiles are highly affected by video length and reuse rate in different subjects. We believe that our study demonstrated in this paper provides valuable information in understanding the logic and the learning mechanism inside learning repositories, which can have major impacts on the education field in general, and particularly on the informal learning process and the instructional design process. This study can be considered as one of the first quantitative studies to shed the light on Khan Academy as an open educational resources (OER) repository. The results presented in this paper are crucial in understanding KA videos repository, its characteristics and its impact on education.

The level at which analyses of DNA content might contribute more significantly to the genetic mechanisms of evolution lies in the events of speciation. The object of this study was to investigate the DNA content of abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) and determine the optimal tissue samples for measuring the DNA content of abalone by flowcytometry without fixation. The DNA content (pg/nucleus) of gill tissue (2.5±0.08), which was contaminated with protozoa, was significantly lower than that of muscle tissue (3.2±0.02), mantle tissue (3.2±0.02) (p<0.05), and a standard reference standard, while the DNA contents of muscle tissue and mantle tissue were higher than that of the standard reference. Considering the results of this study, DNA content analysis with flowcytometry is an acute and rapid method by which muscle tissue and mantle tissue are the most appropriate sample for measuring the DNA content of abalone without fixation.

Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is an acute respiratory disease, causing economic losses in poultry production. IBV commonly manifests respiratory disease symptoms and poor egg quality in poultry, affecting overall performance of both broilers and layers. IBV infection further predisposes poultry to secondary opportunistic bacterial infections. IBV undergoes rapid genetic evolution resulting in various new strains. There is no cross protection among IBV serotypes which makes full protection against wild-type IBV virtually impossible. In this study, recently isolated IBVs (K24/18, K29/18, K183/18) from Korean broiler farms were genetically analyzed based on S1 gene. According to the results, IBV isolates showed highest homology with QX-IBV. However, phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that isolates were divided into distinct sub-clusters within QX-IBV. To determine pathogenicity of IBV, day-old chicks were challenged with IBV through ocular route. After challenging the chicks, we executed microscopic examination, virus detection in their organs, and observation of clinical signs and mortality. We found that the K24/18, K29/18, K183/18 challenge groups showed 28%, 57%, and 42% mortality, respectively, with high microscopic trachea lesion scores, indicating that these QX-IBV-like strains are pathogenic to chicks and can therefore be a threat to poultry production.

International trade has been changed from traditional trade to e-trade due to the fast expanding of information technology like e-marketplace, EDI (Electronic data interchange) using Internet since mid of 1990's. e-Trade, as a new trade method, could handle every trade procedure such as market research, contract, customs clearance, logistics and payment using IT like internet without restriction of time and space. The evolution of transaction-based business model is upon us. The business models of many e-Marketplace in their early stages have typically been based on transaction fees. Many e-Marketplaces have even called out transaction revenues as a core element of their business plans. The transaction business represents the most simple of business models, but it does not provide a long-term sustain able advantage. For buyer's convenience, wide selection and test price hold appeal. For suppliers, the extended global market reach and direct access to customers and consortiums of customers is powerful. To maximize leverage of these new e-marketplace, you must from both a buyer perspective as well as a supplier perspective. Also required is a strategy that takes in account all of the various e-Marketplace transaction standards and one that allows the easy accomodation to new e-marketplace as the market change. These new e-marketplace will need to be factored into the sales channel strategies. To be successful, integration with these e-marketplaces should occur at a complete business process level. This study would suggest on the role of buyers and sellers for e-trade which could maximize effect of e-trade in order to cope with rapid changing IT environment and global trade environment. Therefore, this study suggests top priority tasks for implementing on the specialization strategy of e-trade process.

Recently, the recycling with environmentally friendly method has been an issue for various fields. An effective removal method of coating layers from coated copper wires is one critical factor for recycling copper wire. We have adopted a high frequency heating routine for removing the coating layers on the coated copper wires, and attempted to find optimum conditions. The experimental results show that the copper wires should be maintained at or above $950^{\circ}C$ for rapid removal of the polyester. The simulation and experimental results are discussed with respect to the microstrucrual evolution during heating of the copper wires.
