In this paper, we propose a new dynamic spatial index structure, called PR -file, for handling spatial objects and the modified hierarchical variance which measures the degree of spatial locality at each level. Under the assumption that a multidimensional search space has a circular domain, PR-file uses the modified hierarchical variance for clustering spatially adjacent objects. The insertion and splitting algorithms of PR_file preserve and index which has a low hierarchical variance regardless of object distributions. The simulation result shows that PR- file has a high hit ratio during a retrieval of objects by using an index with low hierarchical variance. And it shows a characteristic that the larger the bucket capacity, the higher the bucket utilization.

As the integration in semiconductor display develops, semiconductor process becomes multilayer. In order to form several layer patterns, etching process which uses photoresistor (PR) must be performed in multilayer process. Repeated etching processes which take long time and PR residue cause mortal problems in semiconductor. To overcome such problems, we studied about the solution which eliminates PR effectively by using normal dry and wet etching method using plasma activated PR strip solvent in liquid condition. At first, we simulate the device which activates the plasma and make sure whether gas flow in device is uniform or not. Under activated plasma, etching effect is elevated. This improvement reduces etching time as well as display production time of semiconductor process. Generally, increasing etching process increases environmental hazards. Reducing etching process can save the etchant and protect environment as well.

The purpose of this study is to investigate PR-VEP characteristics on the perception function(S/N) and the judgement function(T/F) of MBTI. The 136 study participants, over 20 years old adults, were examined by PR-VEP and MBTI test for two months in July and August in 2013. PR-VEP was conducted in O1 and O2 by 32 channels EEG system and MBTI test was measured by Form-M online. We found that the time interval(Duration) between N75 and P100 of PR-VEP was 5.49 ms significantly shorter in the group preferring S indicator. And the latency until N75 was 4.83 ms significantly shorter in O1 and 4.27 ms shorter in O2 in the group preferring F indicator. According to these, the characteristics of groups preferring S and F indicator have influence on visual cognitive function, which is meaningful that the interpretation of brain-science can be used with recognition/judgement function of MBTI.

The gene frequencies of Pr1 of Ullung-do and jawall-do were lower than those of Pr1 in Seoul and Onyang, but similar to those of Pr1 in kangnung and Cheju. 8. The gene frequencies of Db- of Ullung-do and Jawall-do were much higher than those of Db+ in Japanese, Chinese and other populations in Korean.

Spatial and temporal expression of pathogenesis-related (PR) gene and proteins has been recognized as inducible defense response in pepper plants. Gene expression and/or protein accumulation of PR-1, $\beta-1,3-glucanase$ and chitinase was predominantly found in pepper plants during the inoculations by Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria, Phytophthora capsici and Colletotrichum coccodes. PR-1 and chitinase genes were also induced in pepper plants in response to environmental stresses, such as high salinity and drought. PR-1 and chitinase gene expressions by biotic and abiotic stresses were regulated by their own promoter regions containing several stress-related cis-acting elements. Overexpression of pepper PR-1 or chitinase genes in heterogeneous transgenic plants showed enhanced disease resistance as well as environmental stress tolerances. In this review, we focused on the putative function of pepper PR-1, $\beta-1,3-glucanase$ and chitinase proteins and/or genes at the biochemical, molecular and cytological aspects.

Numerous studies have investigated the cellular prion protein (PrP^C) since its discovery. These investigations have explained that its structure is predominantly composed of alpha helices and short beta sheet segments, and when its abnormal scrapie isoform (PrPSc) is infected, PrPSc transforms the PrP^C, leading to prion diseases, including Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans and bovine spongiform encephalopathy in cattle. Given its ubiquitous distribution across a variety of cellular types, the PrP^C manifests a diverse range of biological functions, including cell-cell adhesion, neuroprotection, signalings, and oxidative stress response. PrP^C is also expressed in immune tissues, and its functions in these tissues include the activation of immune cells and the formation of secondary lymphoid tissues, such as the spleen and lymph nodes. Moreover, high expression of PrP^C in immune cells plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of prion diseases. In addition, it affects inflammation and the development and progression of cancer via various mechanisms. In this review, we discuss the studies on the role of PrP^C from various immunological perspectives.

현대 사회에서 PR이란 많은 문제에 대처하는 효율적인 방안임에는 틀림없으나 모든 문제를 해결하는 만능의 도구는 결코 아니다. 그러므로 효율적인 PR의 활용방안은 곧 그것이 대처하는 문제의 정확한 인식에 근거하고 있으므로 대학의 책임자들이 자기 조직의 문제점을 정확하게 인식하고 인정하는 것이 바로 건전한 대학 PR 활용의 출발점이 된다. "오늘날 많은 조직들이 어려움을 겪고 있는 이유는 그들이 문제를 해결할 수 없기 때문이 아니라 그들이 문제를 보려(인정)하지 않기 때문이다."라고 말한 가드너의 지적은 오늘날 대학사회에서도 그대로 적용된다.

This study is purposed to compare PR activities among the 5 large hospitals in Seoul and Kyonggido. The research methods are used in interview survey for employees and Questionnaires survey for patients or their relatives. The 427 patients or their relatives(response rate: 85.4%) were surveyed. The hospital which is below, is more active than any others in special PR activities. 1. Distribution of hospital information books: E, P, A 2. Distribution of calendar: P 3. Broadcast in hospital: E 4. Education of employees about PR : E, A 5. Education of employees about service: all hospitals are active. The PR sectors are organized under the Department of planning(S,J,E) or CEO(P,A). And the budget of PR activities is almost a similar level among all. The degree of recognition and utilization for PR activities is not different among hopitals by the sociodemographic variables of patients. And the average of correlation ratio between recognition of each hopital's PR activities and its utilization is 62.01%(range:51.29%-67.98%) average.

Anti-cancer drug resistance is a major problem in colorectal cancer (CRC) research. Although several studies have revealed the mechanism of cancer drug resistance, molecular targets for chemotherapeutic combinations remain elusive. To address this issue, we focused on the expression of cellular prion protein ($PrP^C$) in 5-FU-resistant CRC cells. In 5-FU-resistant CRC cells, $PrP^C$ expression is significantly increased, compared with that in normal CRC cells. In the presence of 5-FU, $PrP^C$ increased CRC cell survival and proliferation by maintaining the activation of the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and the expression of cell cycle-associated proteins, including cyclin E, CDK2, cyclin D1, and CDK4. In addition, $PrP^C$ inhibited the activation of the stress-associated proteins p38, JNK, and p53. Moreover, after treatment of 5-FU-resistant CRC cells with 5-FU, silencing of $PrP^C$ triggered apoptosis via the activation of caspase-3. These results indicate that $PrP^C$ plays a key role in CRC drug resistance. The novel strategy of combining chemotherapy with $PrP^C$ targeting may yield efficacious treatments of colorectal cancer.
