  • We have synthesized 4'-nitrobiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid (NBCA) and fabricated the hole-only device consisting of ITO/NBCA SAM/TPD (1500 ${\AA}$)/Al (500 ${\AA}$) and the organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) consisting of ITO/NBCA SAM/TPD (600 ${\AA}$)/Alq3 (600 ${\AA}$)/Al (600 ${\AA}$). The prepared hole-only device with NBCA exhibited lower driving voltage than the device with 4-nitrobenzoic acid (NBA). OLEDs using NBCA also show high external quantum efficiency.

  • In this paper, we propose the image encryption method using complemented MLCA based on 90/150 NBCA(Null Boundary Cellular Automata). The encryption method is processed in the following order. First, complemented MLCA, which is derived from linear LFSR, is used to produce a PN(pseudo noise) sequence, which matches the size of the original image. Then, the created complemented MLCA sequence goes through a XOR operation with the original image to become encrypted. Lastly, an experiment is processed to verify the effectiveness of this method.

  • Expander graphs are useful in the design and analysis of communication networks. Mukhopadhyay et. al introduced a method to generate a family of expander graphs based on nongroup two predecessor single attractor CA(Cellular Automata). In this paper we propose a method to generate a family of expander graphs based on 60/102 Null boundary CA(NBCA) which is a group CA. The spectral gap generated by our method is larger than that of Mukhopadhyay et. al [12]. As an application we give an algorithm which generate one-way functions whose security lies on the combinatorial properties of our expander graphs. the one-way function using d-regular graph generated by the 60/102 NBCA is based on the Goldreich's construction [5].

  • Background: N-Butyl Cyanoacrylate (NBCA) is a liquid embolic material that can be useful for transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) of acute bleeding especially in patients with coagulopathy, because it does not depend on coagulation for its therapeutic effect. The aims of this study were to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of TAE with NBCA in acute bleeding patients. Methods: Between August 2003 and September 2004, TAE using NBCA for acute bleeding was performed in 23 patients (16 men, 7 women; mean age, 56.5years). The causes of bleeding were gastric ulcer (n=5), postoperative bleeding (n=4), post-biopsy bleeding (n=3), postpartum bleeding (n=3), duodenal ulcer (n=2), angiodysplasia (n=2), gastric lymphoma (n=1), iatrogenic injury (n=1), CMV gastritis (n=1), stab injury of the liver (n=1). TAE was performed using 1:3 mixtures of NBCA and iodized oil. The angiographic and clinical success rate, recurrent bleeding rate, procedure-related complication and clinical outcomes were evaluated. Results: The angiographic and clinical success rate was 100% and 91.3% (21/23), respectively. There was no serious ischemic complication. Recurrent bleeding occurred in 2 patients (8.7%) and they were managed with successful second TAE (n=1) and endoscopic treatment (n=1). Nine patients (39.1%) had coagulopathy at the time of TAE and clinical success rate in this group of patients was 88.9% (8/9). Conclusions: TAE with NBCA is highly effective and safe treatment modality for acute bleeding patients, especially when the patient has a coagulopathy.

  • As a result of a taxonomic study on the earthworm material collected from Namat National Biodiversity Conservation Area (NBCA), Hoaphane Province, Laos, a new species, Pithemera viengthongensis sp. novo is described from near Namchong river, Viengthong district. The new species bearing two pairs of spermathecal pores in 7/8, 8/9 is not assignable to any other species of Pithemera as defined by Sims and Easton (1972). In the new species, the male pore region has kidney-shaped pads extending between XVII-19/20, the male pores and spermathecal pores are 0.31 circumference apart, and genital papillae are lacking. The ventral view of anterior body region and the spermathecae are illustrated.

  • In this paper, we propose encryption method to using complemented MLCA(Maximum Length Cellular Automata) based on NBCA(Null Boundary CA) and 2D CAT (Two-Dimensional Cellular Automata Transform) for efficient image encryption. The encryption method is processed in the following order. First, a transition matrix T is created using the Wolfram Rule matrix. Then, the transition matrix T is multiplied to the original image that is intended to be encrypted, which transfers the pixel values of the original image. Furthermore, the converted original image goes through a XOR operation with complemented vector F to convert into a complemented MLCA applied image. Then, the gateway value is set and 2D CAT basis function is created. Also, the 2D CAT is encrypted by multiplying the created basis function to the complemented MLCA applied image. Lastly, the stability analysis verifies that proposed method holds a high encryption quality status.

  • Objective: To assess the safety and efficacy of lymphopseudoaneurysm (LPA) glue (n-butyl cyanoacrylate [NBCA]) embolization in the management of chylous ascites after retroperitoneal surgery. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis from January 2014 to October 2018 was performed in six patients (4 females and 2 males; mean age, 45.3 ± 14.2 years; range, 26-61 years) who underwent LPA embolization for chylous ascites developing after retroperitoneal surgery involving the perirenal space (four donor nephrectomies, one partial nephrectomy, and one retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy). After placing a percutaneous drainage catheter into the LPA or adjacent lymphocele, embolization was performed by filling the LPA itself with a mixture of glue and Lipiodol (Guerbet). Results: Daily drainage from percutaneously placed drains exceeded 300 mL/day despite medical and surgical treatment (volume: mean, 1173 ± 1098 mL; range, 305-2800 mL). Intranodal lymphangiography was performed in four of the six patients and revealed leakage in 2 patients. Percutaneous embolization of the LPA was successful in all patients using an NBCA and Lipiodol mixture in a ratio of 1:1-1:2 (volume: mean, 4.3 ± 1.1 mL; range, 3-6 mL). Chylous ascites was resolved and the drainage catheter was removed in all patients within 4 days after the procedure (mean, 2.0 ± 1.8 days; range, 0-4 days). No procedure-related complications or recurrence of chylous ascites occurred during a mean follow-up period of 37.3 months (range, 21.1-48.4 months). Conclusion: Glue embolization of LPA has the potential to be a feasible and effective treatment method for the management of chylous ascites after retroperitoneal surgery.

  • Method for finding the attractors is the important object to investigate in the linear/additive CA because it is a primary interest in applications like pattern recognition, pattern classification, design of associative memory and query processing etc. But the research has been so far mostly concentrated around linear/additive CA and it is not enough to modelize the complex real life problem. So nonlinear CA is demanded to devise effective models of the problem and solutions around CA model. In this paper we introduce CLT as an upgraded version of RMT and provide the process for finding the attractors and nonreachable states effectively through the CLT.
