Agrophotovoltaic (APV) system is an integrated system producing crops as well as solar energy. Because crop production underneath Photovoltaic (PV) modules requires delicate management of crops, smart farming equipment such as real-time remote monitoring sensors (e.g., soil moisture sensors) and micro-climate monitoring sensors (e.g., thermometers and irradiance sensors) is installed in the APV system. This study aims at introducing a decision support system (DSS) for smart farming in an APV system. The proposed DSS is devised to provide a mobile application service, satellite image processing, real-time data monitoring, and performance estimation. Particularly, the real-time monitoring data is used as an input of the DSS system for performance estimation of an APV system in terms of production yields of crops and monetary benefit so that a data-driven function is implemented in the proposed system. The proposed DSS is validated with field data collected from an actual APV system at the Jeollanamdo Agricultural Research and Extension Services in South Korea. As a result, farmers and engineers enable to efficiently produce solar energy without causing harmful impact on regular crop production underneath PV modules. In addition, the proposed system will contribute to enhancement of the smart farming technology in the field of agriculture.

The IISS(Integrated Interface Storage System) software uses communication methods such as DSS(Data Sharing Service), UDP to perform the function of sending all messages from the Combat Management System to the analytical computer. Because IISS software handles all message used in the Combat Management System, the source code is large and has a highly dependent feature on message changes. Modification of software is a task that requires a lot of labor, such as series of software reliability test. so research has been conducted to reduce software development costs, including minimizing software modifications. In this paper, We study the method of messages receiving and architectural structure improvement to minimize reliance on message changes in the Combat Management System and improve the modifiability. Reduced message dependency by changing the way DSS and UDP protocols are communicated to Packet Sniffing. In addition, Factory Method Pattern were applied to improve the software design. Test comparing existing software and development elements have confirmed that the software has improved its modifiability and reuse.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is one of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), characterized by chronic inflammatory response and dysregulation of immune function. The severity of US has been influenced by environmental factors and food habit. The immune modulatory, anti-inflammatory and steroidal medicine have been used for the treatment of UC. However, long-term administration of those medicine is accompanied with side-effect. So, it is necessary to develop the non side-effect medicine using natural product. Prebiotics influences intestinal condition and food consumption. The heredity, immunity and environmental condition are related with occurrence of UC. In recent study, UC patients had lower level of prebiotics such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium compared with healthy people. Also, previous study announced that imbalance of enteric flora aggravates the severity of UC. The effectiveness of probiotics might affect colon ability and viable bacteria also could promote the proliferation of beneficial intestinal bacteria. Prebiotics, such as herbal medicine, could lead to balance of intestinal bacteria or increase beneficial bacteria. So, proper choice of herbal medicine could control the intestinal condition. This study aimed to investigate the effect of mixture of probiotics and prebiotics (synbiotics) on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced UC in vivo. The synbiotics consist of Lactobacillus buchneri, Polymnia sonchifolia and Glycine max Merr. in this study. To evaluate the effect of synbiotics, 3% DSS was administered in BALB/c mice and synbiotics was daily administered for experimental days. The administration of synbiotics regulated colon length shortening, body weight change and disease activity index effectively. Also, extract of synbiotics upregulated survival ability of Lactobacillus buchneri in gut condition. These results suggest that mixture of probiotics and prebiotics, called as synbiotics, could influence intestinal condition also regulate the colon disease. Synbiotics might be a therapeutic agent for treatment of UC.

Using Information systems to process massive data, quickly and exactly, organizations have chances to enhance their performance. The limitations of IS function to support decision-making, however, have been frequently mentioned. In this context, in addition to traditional mathematical model that is a kernel of DSS, the needs for Data Warehouse which is a system supporting business process analysis are emerging. In this study, for those needs, first, we introduce issues of implementation methodology for D/W, especially various models relating development process. Then, we investigate correlation between these models and key factors for success of D/W.

The conducting composites were prepared by emulsion polymerization with poly (acrylonitrile-co-butadiene) (NBR) as a matrix and polypyrrole (PPY) as a conducting polymer. Among several surfactants, the electrical conductivity of the composite which was polymerized by dodecyl sodium sulfate (DSS) was the best. The film of composite was prepared by compression molding. The electrical conductivity was measured by 4 probes method as a function of PPY and temperature. When the content of PPY was 25 wt%, the electrical conductivity of composite was increased up to 1.17 S/cm. The percolation threshold showed at the vicinity of 15 wt% PPY content.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory intestinal disease characterized by an imbalance in immune function and the overexpression of inflammatory cytokines and mediators. Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin (Libof), is an essential water-soluble vitamin with numerous beneficial properties, including antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, and anti-cancer effects. In this study, we aimed to investigate the protective effects of Libof on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced experimental colitis. The C57BL/6 mice were used as the in vivo model of chronic colitis to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of Libof. RAW 264.7 cells were used for the in vitro investigation of the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects. In vivo, Libof alleviated the DSS-induced disease activity index (DAI), colon length shortening, and colonic pathological damage. In vitro, Libof inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interleukin (IL)-6 production in RAW 264.7 cells. Moreover, Libof inhibited LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) production and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in RAW 264.7 cells. In conclusion, these findings indicate that Libof shows potential as an agent for the treatment of UC.

Colorectal cancer is a major health problem in industrialized countries. Ziyuglycoside II ($3{\beta}-3-{\alpha}$-1- arabinopyranosyloxy-19-hydroxyurs-12-en-28-oicacid), a triterpenoid saponin isolated from the roots of Sanguisorba officinalis L., possesses antioxidant, antiangiogenic, and anticancer properties. However, the therapeutic function of ziyuglycoside II in colitis-associated colorectal carcinogenesis is undefined. In the present study, the effect of ziyuglycoside II on colitis-associated colon cancer induced in mice using azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) was explored. The AOM model recapitulates many features of human colon cancer, but it lacks an inflammatory component. DSS induces colitis and promotes AOM-induced colon cancer in mice. BALB/c mice were injected with AOM and administered 2% DSS in drinking water. The mice were given ziyuglycoside II (1 or 5 mg/kg) orally three times per week, and colonic tissue was collected at 64 days. Administration of ziyuglycoside II markedly diminished the formation of colonic tumors. Western blot and immunohistological analyses showed that ziyuglycoside II noticeably decreased nuclear factor kappa-B-positive cells and levels of inflammation-related proteins, such as inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase-2, tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$, and interleukin-6 in colon tissue. It also prompted apoptosis. Ziyuglycoside II treatment augmented cleaved forms of caspase-3, caspase-7, and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase in colonic tissues. In conclusion, ziyuglycoside II could defend against colitis-associated tumorigenesis in mice by inhibiting inflammation and inducing apoptosis. This shows a promising chemopreventive potential for its use in colitis-associated colon cancer.

Thp1/PCID2, PCI domain-containing protein, is a component of the evolutionally conserved TREX-2 complex linking mRNA transcription and export. In fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the pci2 (SPBC1105.07c) gene encodes a PCI domain-containing protein that is predicted as a fission yeast orthologue of Thp1 (in budding yeast)/PCID2 (in human). Repression of pci2 expression inhibited both growth and mRNA export. And over-expression of pci2 also exhibited growth retardation with slight accumulation of $poly(A)^+$ RNA in the nucleus. Moreover, yeast two-hybrid and co-immunoprecipitation analysis showed that the Pci2 protein physically interacted with Sac3 and Dss1, which are members of TREX-2 complex. These observations support that the S. pombe Pci2 protein, as a component of TREX-2 complex, is implicated in mRNA export.
