Recent researches have shown that important cellular-based autoprotective mechanisms are mediated by heat-shock proteins(HSPs), also called 'molecular chaperones'. HSPs as molecular chaperones are the primary cellular defense mechanism against damage to the proteome, initiating refolding of denatured proteins and regulating degradation after severe protein damage. HSPs also modulate multiple events within apoptotic pathways to help sustain cell survival following damaging stimuli. HSPs are induced by almost every type of stresses including physical and psychological stresses. Our nervous system in the brain are more vulnerable to stress and damage than any other tissues due to HSPs insufficiency. The normal function of HSPs is a key factor for endogenous stress adaptation of neural tissues. HSPs play an important role in the process of neurodevelopment, neurodegeneration, and neuroendocrine regulation. The altered function of HSPs would be associated with the development of several neuropsychiatric disorders. Therefore, an understanding of HSPs activities could help to improve autoprotective mechanism of our neural system. This paper will review the literature related to the significance of HSPs in neuropsychiatric field.

The widespread use of the Internet and the maturing of digital video technology have led to an increase in various streaming media application. However, new classes of hosts such as mobile devices are gaining popularity, while the transmission became more heterogeneous. Due to the characteristics of mobile networks such as low speed, high error bit rate, etc., the applications over the wireless channel have different needs and limitations from desktop computers. An intermediary between two communicating endpoints to hide the heterogeneous network links is thought as one of the best approaches. In this paper, we adopted the concept of inter-packet gap and the sequence number between continuously received packets as the error discriminator, and designed an adaptive packet sizing mechanism to improve the network efficiency under varying channel conditions. Based on the proposed mechanism, the packetization scheme with error protection is proposed to scalable encoded video delivery. Finally, simulation results reveal that our proposed mechanism can react to the varying BER conditions with better network efficiency and gain the obvious improvement to video quality for stored MPEG-4 FGS video delivery.

본 논문에서는 시변 네트워크 상황에서 끊김 없는 미디어 서비스를 제공 할 수 있는 퍼지 논리 기반 DASH 적응 알고리즘(FDASH)의 수정을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 퍼지 논리 제어부(FLC : Fuzzy Logic Controller)의 수정을 통하여 다음 요청 할 세그먼트의 비트율에 대해 최적의 판단을 하도록 하고, 세그먼트 비트율 필터링 모듈(SBFM : Segment Bit-rate Filtering Module)을 적용하여 비디오 화질의 변화 횟수를 줄인다. 또한, 스트리밍 서비스를 시작 할 때 사용자들이 일정시간 저화질의 비디오를 시청해야 하는 상황을 막는 시작 메커니즘(Start Mechanism)과 버퍼의 오버플로우를 방지하는 대기 메커니즘(Sleeping Mechanism)을 포함한다. 최종적으로 제안된 알고리즘이 FDASH에 비해 좋은 성능을 가짐을 NS-3를 이용한 모의실험을 통해 검증한다. 모의실험 결과, 제안된 방식이 FDASH에 비해 제한된 버퍼크기 상황 하에서도 버퍼 언더플로우/오버플로우가 발생하지 않음을 확인하였다. 또한 점대점(Point-to-Point) 환경과 Wi-Fi환경에서 거의 동일 화질 성능을 보이면서도 비디오 화질 변화 횟수를 50% 이상 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Purpose: This study investigated the degree of acculturation stress among North Korean Defectors and the coping method that they used to deal with it. Methods: Ninety-nine participants of this study were North Korean Defectors in Seoul and Daejeon. The tools of survey for this study were acculturation stress and stress-coping. Results: The score for acculturation stress among North Korean Defectors was $2.97{\pm}0.47$ which was a moderate level of stress. The score of problem-solving coping was $3.10{\pm}0.47$ and emotional coping got $2.85{\pm}0.52$. On acculturation stress, there were higher scores among people who were old-aged, married, low educational levels, dissatisfied with job, low monthly income, and living alone. On problem-solving coping, there were higher score among people who have jobs. Regarding emotional coping, there were higher score in people who have jobs, dissatisfaction with job, and living alone. The higher the problem-solving coping skill, the less the acculturation stress. Conclusion: Reducing of acculturation stress and increasing adaptation mechanism of North Korean Defectors are very important due to the results of this study. Therefore, adaptation programs like psycho-social counseling should be created for North Korean Defectors.

Object: A study on the changes of superficial temperature as the ambient temperature varies. Method: After performing research on the physiologic mechanism of heat loss from skin, heat transfer to skin and heat productions of body, the conclusions would be drawn from experiments on temperature changes in every parts of the body as ambient temperature varies . Result and conclusion: Superficial temperature is in equilibrium with ambient temperature after a certain period. Part of the body with big change in superficial temperature tends to have slower temperature change and longer time for adaptation than the part with small change in superficial temperature. The temperature difference between left and right side of the body needs no attention. If adequate adaptation time, a short-period living supervision prior to measurements and appropriate indoor environment management are provided, meaningful conclusion would be attained for infrared thermal diagnosis.

Transporters are membrane proteins that mediate the transfer of substrate across the cellular membrane. In this overview, the characteristics and the toxicological relevance were discussed for various types of transporters. For drug transporters, the overview focused on ATP-binding cassette transporters and solute carrier family 21A/22A member transporters. Except for OCTN transporters and OATP transporters, drug transporters tend to have broad substrate specificity, suggesting drug-drug interaction at the level of transport processes (e.g., interaction between methotrexate and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents) is likely. For metal transporters, transporters for zinc, copper and multiple metals were discussed in this overview. These metal transporters have comparatively narrow substrate specificity, except for multiple metal transporters, suggesting that inter-substrate interaction at the level of transport is less likely. In contrast, the expressions of the transporters are often regulated by their substrates, suggesting cellular adaptation mechanism exists for these transporters. The drug-drug interactions in drug transporters and the cellular adaptation mechanisms for metal transporters are likely to lead to alterations in pharmacokinetics and cellular metal homeostasis, which may be linked to the development of toxicity. Therefore, the transporter-mediated alterations may have toxicological relevance.

This paper has a control method proposed for the effective self-tuning fuzzy speed control based on neural network of the induction motor indirect vector control. The vector control of an induction motor provides the decoupled control of the rotor flux magnitude and the torque producing current to performance is desirable. But, the drive performance often degrades for the machine parameter variations and its condition give rise to coupling of flux and torque current. The fuzzy speed control of an induction motor has the robustness about machine parameter variations compared with conventional PID speed control in a way. That proved to be some waf from the true. The purpose of this paper is to improve the adaptation by offering self-turning function to fuzzy speed controller. In this paper, the adaptive mechanism of fuzzy speed control in used ANN(Artificial Neural Network) technique is applied in an IFO induction machine drive, such that the machine can follow a reference model (an ideal field oriented machine) to achieve desired speed. In this paper proved the self-turning method of fuzzy controller has the robustness about parameter variation and the wide range of adaptation by simulation.

In this paper, we proposed a biologically inspired light-adaptive edge detection circuit based on the human retina. A saturating resistive network was suggested for light adaptation and simulated by using HSPICE. The light adaptation mechanism of the edge detection circuit was quantitatively analyzed by using a simple model of the saturating resistive element. A light-adaptive capability of the edge detection circuit was confirmed by using the one-dimensional array of the 128 pixels with various levels of input light intensity. Experimental data of the saturating resistive element was compared with the simulated results. The entire capability of the edge detection circuit, implemented with the saturating resistive network, was investigated through the two-dimensional array of the $64{\times}64$ pixels
