  • Oscillation-based testing of analog-to-digital converters represents a viable option for low-cost built-in self-testing in mixed-signal design. While numerous papers have addressed implementation issues, little attention has been paid to the measurement accuracy. In this letter, we highlight an inherent measurement uncertainty which has to be considered when deriving the parameters from the oscillation frequency.

  • Controlling for the impacts of main strands of debt maturity theories, we highlight the relationship between syndicated loan maturity and ownership structure of Korean borrowers. We find that as the ownership of large shareholders increases, the maturity of syndicated loans also increases. Additionally, we identify a negative relation between foreigners' ownership and loan maturity, indicating that foreign institutional investors serve valuable monitoring functions; as their equity shares increase, they fully take advantage of frequent renewals through the short maturity of syndicated loan. We also show that the predicted value of leverage is more systematically and positively related to the maturity of syndicated loan.

  • The performance of steel MRF with rigid connections, proportioned by adopting different capacity design criteria, is evaluated in order to highlight the effectiveness of static non-linear procedure in predicting the structural seismic behavior. In the framework of the performance-based design, some considerations are made on the basis of the results obtained by both dynamic time histories and push-over analyses, particularly with reference to the damage level and the structure ability to withstand a strong earthquake.

  • 동영상 자동 분석은 비디오 데이터의 내용 기반 색인과 검색을 위한 첫 단계이다. 본 논문에서는 정형적인 구조를 가진 뉴스와는 달리 비정형적인 특성을 가진 축구 동영상에서 사용자의 관심이 되는 하이라이트 장면의 영상 특징을 이용하여 그 구조를 분석하여 하이라이트 장면을 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 이전 연구를 토대로 그라운드영역과 골대 유무에 따라 하이라이트 후보 장면을 찾는 과정에서 경기마다 달라지는 임계값에 영향을 받지 않는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 실험결과 제안된 방법이 여러 종류의 축구 경기 하이라이트 분석에 있어서 그 성능이 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • Mitochondrial integrity is critical for maintaining proper cellular functions. A key aspect of regulating mitochondrial homeostasis is removing damaged mitochondria through autophagy, a process called mitophagy. Autophagy dysfunction in various disease states can inactivate mitophagy and cause cell death, and defects in mitophagy are becoming increasingly recognized in a wide range of diseases from liver injuries to neurodegenerative diseases. Here we highlight our current knowledge on the mechanisms of mitophagy, and discuss how alterations in mitophagy contribute to disease pathogenesis. We also discuss mitochondrial dynamics and potential interactions between mitochondrial fusion, fission and mitophagy.

Transfer RNA-Derived Small Non-Coding RNA: Dual Regulator of Protein Synthesis

  • Transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) play a role in various cellular processes. Accumulating evidence has revealed that tsRNAs are deeply implicated in human diseases, such as various cancers and neurological disorders, suggesting that tsRNAs should be investigated to develop novel therapeutic intervention. tsRNAs provide more complexity to the physiological role of transfer RNAs by repressing or activating protein synthesis with distinct mechanisms. Here, we highlight the detailed mechanism of tsRNA-mediated dual regulation in protein synthesis and discuss the necessity of novel sequencing technology to learn more about tsRNAs.

  • Granular cell tumor (GCT) is a rare, benign neoplasm of Schwann cell origin. GCT is composed of cells with eosinophilic granular cytoplasm. GCT presents as a solitary painless nodule. Because of their subtle clinical presentation, GCTs are often misdiagnosed. This report of a 47-year-old woman with an auricular GCT serves to highlight that complete excision and histopathological evaluation should be attempted even in apparently benign cases, to ensure complete cure.

  • Kinship is a permanent relationship which is likely to impact the regulations adopted by the legislator to deal with crimes involving close relatives. Accordingly, the title "Impact of Kinship on a Criminal Case" is intended to highlight the legal provisions related kinship, regarding such case, and the procedures associated therewith; as the legislator takes kinship into account, particularly with respect to the procedures related to crimes between relatives; and it is the legislator's aim to protect such relation.
