This study aims at establishing a basic theory for the combination of architecture and movies by comparing the long-take technique of movies and the continuity of space, one of space composition principles, which is important in digital architecture based on Jacques Lacan's visual-art theory and finding common features and differences of them. The following is a summary of the conclusions. First, analyzing the long-take technique on the basis of Lacan's visual-art theory found that the subject of representation is scenes of movies and that staring shows features of narrative. Second, the long-take technique can be thought as a cinematic technique which tries to realize the real order beyond the symbolic order in real life through the process of continuous replication of replication of replication of a scene in one shot. Third, in contemporary architecture, which is compared to the long-take technique in the past, the inclined space of opened gaze is similar to the method which tries to realize architectural space of the reality which belongs to the symbolic order close to the real order which belong to significant in human unconsciousness. Fourth, the freeform continuous space of closed gaze, which can be compared to contemporary long take combined with computer graphic technology, has more difficulty in realizing the real order than the long-take technique in the past and inclined, continuous space as the feature which belongs to $signifi{\acute{e}}$ in human consciousness has been strengthened through the circulation which repeats and expands along an observer's movement. Fifth, when the contemporary long-take technique and freeform continuous space expand gaze which opens from the inside to the outside, it is considered that the space which is closer to the real order than the classic long-take technique and inclined continuous space can be created.

To investigate the regulatory mechanism underlying the contractile response in the intestinal smooth muscle of the nile tilapia (Orechromis niloticus), we used pharmacologic and molecular approaches to identify the muscarinic subreceptors and the intracellular signaling pathways involved in this motility. Myography assays revealed that an M1- and M3-subtype selective antagonist, but not a M2-subtype selective antagonist, inhibited carbachol HCl (CCH)-induced intestinal smooth muscle contraction. In addition, a phospholipase C inhibitor, but not an adenylate cyclase inhibitor, blocked the contractile response to CCH. We also cloned five muscarinic genes (OnM2A, OnM2B, OnM3, OnM5A, and OnM5B) from the nile tilapia. In the phylogenetic analysis and sequence comparison to compare our putative gene products (OnMs) with the sequences obtained from the near complete teleost genomes, we unexpectedly found that the teleost fish have respectively two paralogous genes corresponding to each muscarinic subreceptor, and other teleost fish, except zebrafish, do not possess muscarinic subreceptor M1. In addition, the expression pattern of the nile tilapia muscarinic subreceptor transcripts during CCH-induced intestinal smooth muscle contraction in the proximal intestinal tissue was analyzed by real-time PCR surveys and it was demonstrated that CCH increased the OnMs mRNA expression rapidly and transiently.

Advertisements provide consumers with in-formation and knowledge about products and help a society to sustain homogeneity by actively reflecting important characteristics of mass culture. Yet this reflection is a selective and purposeful representation by the party of the fashion manufactures and carries the intention of stimulating and augmenting desire for commodities aiming to perpetuate capitalism. This study understood this selective reflection of mass culture by advertisements as a feature of hegemonic struggle between/fashion business and consumers and defined the values selected by advertisements as ideologies supporting the consumption ideology of capitalism. The purpose of this study was to examine the contents of the ideologies expressed in the clothing advertisements in women's magazines to persuade consumers into consumption. The method of study was mainly qualitative with subsidiary citations from the results of content analysis. The objects of analysis were clothing advertisements in 1996 issues of CeCi and Woman Sense, which were identified as the two most popular women's monthly magazines. The ideologies identified were ideologies concerning (1) Self Identity, (2) Sensibility, (3) Sex Role, (4) Globalism, (5) Youth, (6) Leas-ure and Pleasure. Repeated and insisted as natural and true, there values were proposed to be believed as common senses and studies re-port that values of advertisements are ac-cepted as more readily as they are more unreasonable, and the acts and behaviors expres-sed within advertisements are often imitated in real life situations. Therefore, it is highly probable that these values emphasized within advertisements are enacted in thoughts and behaviors of consumers' real life. Accordingly the author suggests that critical interpretation of advertisements is seriously required to fully understand the commodity ridden post industrial society of today and to lead a subjective life within it.

Estrogen and its receptors are essential hormones for normal reproductive function in males and females during developmental stage. To better understand the effect of estrogen receptor (ER) gene in yak (Bos grunniens), reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was carried out to clone $ER{\alpha}$ and $ER{\beta}$ genes. Bioinformatics methods were used to analyze the evolutionary relationship between yaks and other species, and real-time PCR was performed to identify the mRNA expression of $ER{\alpha}$ and $ER{\beta}$. Sequence analysis showed that the ER open reading frames (ORFs) encoded 596 and 527 amino acid proteins. The yak $ER{\alpha}$ and $ER{\beta}$ shared 45.3% to 99.5% and 53.9% to 99.1% protein sequence identities with other species homologs, respectively. Real-time PCR analysis revealed that $ER{\alpha}$ and $ER{\beta}$ were expressed in a variety of tissues, but the expression level of $ER{\alpha}$ was higher than that of $ER{\beta}$ in all tissues, except testis. The mRNA expression of $ER{\alpha}$ was highest in the mammary gland, followed by uterus, oviduct, and ovary, and lowest in the liver, kidney, lung, testis, spleen, and heart. The $ER{\beta}$ mRNA level was highest in the ovary; intermediary in the uterus and oviduct; and lowest in the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, mammary gland, and testis. The identification and tissue distribution of ER genes in yaks provides a foundation for the further study on their biological functions.

Seaweeds are composed of a variety of bioactive substances, including polysaccharides, pigments, minerals, peptides, and polyphenols. Among these substances, the arsenic content of seaweeds has been a significant cause for concern. The present study evaluated the toxicity of arsenic from three species of seaweed using a zebrafish Danio rerio model. The arsenic-rich extracts were obtained from Ecklonia cava (ECAE), Undaria pinnatifida (UPAE) and Hizikia fusiformis (HFAE) using a solvent of 50% methanol and 1% $HNO_3$. We investigated the toxicity of the arsenic-rich extracts in zebrafish embryos through survival rate, heart rate, yolk sac edema size, cell death, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The hepatotoxicity of arsenic-rich extracts was assessed in the liver of adult zebrafish through real-time PCR and histopathology. The survival rates of embryos and adult zebrafish showed no significant changes at any concentration. At 100 ppm, embryos did not exhibit significant differences in heart rate, yolk sac edema size, cell death or ROS production. In addition, apoptosis-related genes in larvae and liver tissue were unaffected by treatment with arsenic-rich extracts. These data will help clarify that developmental changes, hepatic oxidative stress, and apoptosis are not associated with toxicity from arsenic-rich seaweed extracts in a zebrafish model.

This study analyzes the collision occurring in the daily life of the United States where diverse ethnicities live side by side, as portrayed in the film 'crash'. The analysis is followed by a counseling method necessary for a diverse society. To analyse the essence of conflict in the film, a convergence psychological analysis was conducted based on desire theory. The result was that the desire to survive and innovate always collided with frustration. This is because of the obstacles in real life that suppresses desire. The process of frustrated desires and their distortion was structurized. In the conclusion, a counseling method and theory with 'a recovery model that promotes change' was presented for problematic personalities that are entrenched widely in the United States about pain by conflict.

This study aimed to show the possibility of approaching Steven Holl's Stretto House as a vital space identical to the flow of our consciousness through Bergson's philosophy of life by understanding the expression of Bergsonian duration in the house. For the Purpose of this study, Bergson's concept of aesthetic duration was considered and duration in the Stretto House design process was analyzed, Based on the study's findings, duration according to Bergson's expression of reality in the Stretto House was further analyzed. The results of the analysis of duration in the Stretto House design process showed that duration is expressed as phenomenological time through the continuity and movement of the perceptual phenomena of space, sound, light and material that reflected Merleau-Ponty's anchoring and Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta. The results of the analysis of duration as an expression of reality in the Stretto House showed that duration is expressed as real time, as reality's continuous and diverse movement of vital duration, through the image and rhythm based on the intuitive recollection of the real self, sound, light and pond. Consequently, it was shown that the Stretto House could be understood as a vital space in which a vital movement of duration identical with the flow of our consciousness is expressed through the expression of reality in Bergson's philosophy of life. This study is meaningful as a foundational study of the experiential space of phenomena through Bergson's philosophy of life.

Objective: The Bayesian first-order antedependence models, which specified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) effects as being spatially correlated in the conventional BayesA/B, had more accurate genomic prediction than their corresponding classical counterparts. Given advantages of $BayesC{\pi}$ over BayesA/B, we have developed hyper-$BayesC{\pi}$, ante-$BayesC{\pi}$, and ante-hyper-$BayesC{\pi}$ to evaluate influences of the antedependence model and hyperparameters for $v_g$ and $s_g^2$ on $BayesC{\pi}$.Methods: Three public data (two simulated data and one mouse data) were used to validate our proposed methods. Genomic prediction performance of proposed methods was compared to traditional $BayesC{\pi}$, ante-BayesA and ante-BayesB. Results: Through both simulation and real data analyses, we found that hyper-$BayesC{\pi}$, ante-$BayesC{\pi}$ and ante-hyper-$BayesC{\pi}$ were comparable with $BayesC{\pi}$, ante-BayesB, and ante-BayesA regarding the prediction accuracy and bias, except the situation in which ante-BayesB performed significantly worse when using a few SNPs and ${\pi}=0.95$. Conclusion: Hyper-$BayesC{\pi}$ is recommended because it avoids pre-estimated total genetic variance of a trait compared with $BayesC{\pi}$ and shortens computing time compared with ante-BayesB. Although the antedependence model in $BayesC{\pi}$ did not show the advantages in our study, larger real data with high density chip may be used to validate it again in the future.
