  • Objectives: As the peripheral part of the primo vascular system (PVS) is difficult to visualize, we used a vascular casting material Mercox injected directly into the skin to take advantage of a simple procedure to visualize PVS structures as primo vessels (PVs) and primo nodes (PNs) in the skin. Methods: Two colors of the polymer Mercox were injected into mouse skin. After a partial maceration of the whole body with potassium hydroperoxide solution, we anatomized it under a stereomicroscope to trace the Mercox that had been injected into the PVS. Results: Injection of Mercox directly into the skin allowed the PVs and the PNs to be visualized. This approach can fill the PVS when the material is ejected out of the PVs or PNs. The shapes, sizes, and topographic positions of the nodes and the vessels are the hallmarks used to identify the PVS in skin when Mercox is used as a tracer. Conclusion: The direct injection of the casting material Mercox into skin, with modified partial maceration procedures, is a promising method for visualizing the PVs and the PNs in the peripheral part of the PVS in skin. The polymer Mercox can penetrate through the primo pores of the primo vascular wall and fill the PVs and the PNs. The data prove that PVs and PNs exist on the hypodermal layer of the skin.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the effective cryopreservation condition of Potentilla discolor Bunge, a rare native plant. Seed viability was more than 80% in PVS2 and PVS3 solution treatments. Seed viability was higher in PVS3 than PVS2 treatment. Seed viability was lower than control in spite of sucrose pretreatment. The germination rate was 95% at 60 min of PVS2 treatment and 30 min of PVS3 treatment but the germination rate was low at other treatments. The growth of the seedling wasn't doing that of the control except for treat PVS2 and PVS3 solution for 30 min. There was no statistically significant difference between the encapsulation method and the vitrification method in the seedling growth between the two cryogenic storage methods. This study is expected to be applied to future conservation methods of Potentilla discolor.

  • In this paper, we present an efficient indoor rendering method using BSP(Binary Space Partitioning) and PVS(Potentially Visible Space) algorithms. The proposed method displays efficiently the objects by including the objects in the process of separating the number of BSP area, by jointly using BSP and PVS algorithms. Also, the screen which is checked by PVS from player's location is displayed. From the simulation, we can see that the proposed method improves the rendering speed because of processing the objects with the edges of BSP and PVS.

  • A total of 230 apparently healthy looking potato stocks and 80 potato stocks with symptoms of virus infection were collected from various seed potato farms in Korea and the incidence of potato virus X (PVX), potato virus S (PVS), potato virus M (PVM) and potato virus Y (PVY) was determined by serological microprecipitin tests. Results obtained are as follows. 1. Serological microprecipitin test retreated the presence of PVX, PVS, PVM and PVY in a number of potato stocks grown for the production of seed potatoes in Korea. 2. The occurrence of potato virus M is reported here for the first time in Korea with experimental evidence. 3. Practically $100\%$ (290 stocks, of the apparently healthy looking potato stocks were demonstrated to be infected with both PVX and PVS. The infection percentages of potato stocks with combination of PVX, PVS, PVM and PVY were as follows. PVX+PVS+PVM:$10.3\%$, PVX+PVS+PVY:$4.5\%$, PVX+PVS+PVM+PVY:$1.03\%$ 4. Irish Cobbler and Shimabara, which are the two major potato varieties in Korea, appear to be symptomless carriers of PVX and PVS. However, when these varieties were infected additionally with PVY, usually severe symptoms resulted. 5. Serological microprecipitin technique appears to be highly suitable for early, quick and reliable diagnosis of PVX, PVS PVM and PVY. It is particularly suited for large scale testing of seed potato stocks for the presence of viruses mentioned above.

  • This study aims to analyse changes of inner temperature of PVS(Passive ventilation skin) and heat recovery when it has ventilation of air through PVS using numerical simulation in the winter condition. Results are as follows. 1) In case of the air inflows through PVS, change of inner temperature of PVS is lower than in case of the air flows inner space to out space, by dynamic insulation. 2) It was identified that the temperature gradient of PVS were bigger by increases of ventilation amount. To reduce ventilation load, heat transfer efficiency at the inner side of PVS is important and what performance of insulation at the inner side of PVS secure helps to improve heat performance of all PVS.

  • In this study, the $PPy/CLO_4$ and PPy/PVS composite electrodes were prepared at various polymerization potential by incorporating electrolyte anions of different anion size during constant potential polymerization. The reulting Polypyrrole surfaces were inspected by SEM, and their electrochemical Properties were investigated with CV and ac impedance method. The results of electrochemical analysis were suggested that anion for $PPy/CLO_4$ electrode and cation fir PPy/PVS electrode were transferred during redox reaction. As constant potential of polymerization was increased, the charge transfer resistance of $PPy/CLO_4$ and PPy/PVS was decreased and the electric double layer capacitances of $PPy/CLO_4$ was higher than that of PPy/PVS. The change of PPy/PVS surface was relatively smaller than that of $PPy/CLO_4$ according to electropolymerization potential.

  • The ideal method of safety evaluation is to verify results of execution against all possible operations within operating system, but it is impossible. However, the formal method can theoretically prove the safety on actual logic of operating system. Therefore we explain the contents of the art of the safety verification of security kernel, and make a comparative study of various standardized formal verification tools. And then we assigned PVS(Prototype Verification system) of SRI(Stanford Research Institute) to verify the safety of a modified BLP(Bell & LaPadula) model, the core access control model of multi-lavel based security kernel. Finally, we describe formal specification of the revised BLP model using the PVS, and evaluate the safety of the model by inspecting the specification of the PVS.

  • In the large scale indoor 3D game scenes, the data amount of potentially visible set (PVS) which pre-computes the information of occlusion culling can be huge. However, the large part of them can be represented as zero. In this paper, the effective hardware structure is designed, which compresses PVS data as the way of zero run length encoding (ZRLE) during building the scene trees of 3D games in mobile environments. The compression ratio of the proposed structure and the rendering speed (frame per second: FPS) according to both PVS culling and frustum culling are analyzed under 3D game simulations.

  • The perivascular space (PVS) of the brain, also known as Virchow-Robin space, consists of cerebrospinal fluid and connective tissues bordered by astrocyte endfeet. The PVS, in a word, is the route over the arterioles, capillaries, and venules where the substances can move. Although the PVS was identified and described first in the literature approximately over 150 years ago, its importance has been highlighted recently after the function of the waste clearing system of the interstitial fluid and wastes was revealed. The PVS is known to be a microscopic structure detected using T2-weighted brain MRI as dot-like hyperintensity lesions when enlarged. Although until recently regarded as normal with no clinical consequence and ignored in many circumstances, several studies have argued the association of an enlarged PVS with neurodegenerative or other diseases. Many questions and unknown facts about this structure still exist; we can only assume that the normal PVS functions are crucial in keeping the brain healthy. In this review, we covered the history, anatomy, pathophysiology, and MRI findings of the PVS; finally, we briefly touched upon the recent trials to better visualize the PVS by providing a glimpse of the brain fluid dynamics and clinical importance of the PVS.

  • This paper aims to evaluate performances of ventilation and insulation of 6types PVS(Passive ventilation skin) by numerical simulation. The results are as follows. 1) The result of Performance of ventilation by pressure difference, it was shown that the amount of ventilation changed bigger under 1Pa and amount of ventilation increased according to increase opening area (${\alpha}A$). Although same opening area of PVS, it can predict that pressure differences cause ventilation differences. 2) In case of same opening area of PVS, however, it was changed the amount of ventilation each types of PVS that is distinguished opening area by flow coefficient. 3) Dynamic U-value that represents performance of insulation PVS was similar change upper ${\alpha}A40\;cm^2/m^2$, great change in casse of 0.1 Pa pressure difference. In case of ${\alpha}A10\;cm^2/m^2$, it was changed bigger under 0.3 Pa pressure difference, ${\alpha}A20\;cm^2/m^2$ of PVS was changed under 0.2 Pa pressure difference.
