A matrix whose entries consist of the symbols +.- and 0 is called a sign pattern matrix . In 1994 , Eschenbach gave a graph theoretic characterization of irreducible sign idempotent pattern matrices. In this paper, we give a characterization of reducible sign idempotent matrices. We show that reducible sign idempotent matrices, whose digraph is contained in an irreducible sign idempotent matrix, has all nonnegative entries up to equivalences. this extend the previous result.

Ontology is important role in semantic web to construct and query semantic data. Because of dynamic characteristic of ontology, P2P environment is considered for ontology processing in web environment. For efficient processing of ontology in P2P environment, clustering of peers should be considered. When new peer is added to the network, cluster allocation problem of the new peer is important for system efficiency. For clustering of peers with similar chateristics, similarlity measure method of ontology in added peer with ontologies in other clusters is needed. In this paper, we propose similarity measure techniques of ontologies for clustering of peers. Similarity measure method in this paper considered ontology's strucural characteristics like schema, class, property. Results of experiments show that ontologies of similar topics, class, property can be allocated to the same cluster.

Various documents, images, videos and other materials on the web has been increasing rapidly. Efficient search of those things has become an important topic. From keyword-based search, internet search has been transformed to semantic search which finds the implications and the relations between data elements. Many annotation processing systems manipulating the metadata for semantic search have been proposed. However, annotation data generated by different methods and forms are difficult to process integrated search between those systems. In this study, in order to resolve this problem, we categorized levels of many annotation documents, and we proposed the method to measure the similarity between the annotation documents. Similarity measure between annotation documents can be used for searching similar or related documents, images, and videos regardless of the forms of the source data.

The mechanism by which $V_H$ region gene segments is selected in B lymphocyte is not known. Moreover, evidence for both random and nonrandom expression of $V_H$ genes in matured B cells has been presented previously. In this report, the technique of in situ hybridization allowed us to analyze expressed $V_H$ gene families in normal B lymphocyte at the single cell level. The analysis of normal B cells in this study eliminated any posssible bias resulting from transformation protocols used previously and minimized limitation associated with sampling size. Therefore, an accurate measure of the functional and expressed $V_H$ gene repertoire in B lymphocyte could be made. One of the most important controls for the optimization of in situ hybridization is to establish probe concentration and washing stringency due to the degree of nucleotide sequence similarlity between different families which in some cases can be as high as 70%. When the radioactive $C{\mu}$ and $V_{H}J558$ RNA probes are tested on LPS-stimulated adult spleen cells, $2{\sim}4{\times}106cpm$/slide shows low background and reasonable frequency of specific positive cells. For the washing condition. 40~50% formamide at $54^{\circ}C$ is found to be optimum for the $C{\mu}$. $V_{H}S107$ and $V_{H}J558$ probes. The analyzed results clearly demonstrate that the level of each different $V_H$ gene family expression is dependent upon the complexity or size of that family. These findings are also extended to the level of $V_H$ gene family expression in separated bone marrow B cells depend upon the various stage of differentiation and conclude no preferential utilization of specific $V_H$ gene family. Thus, the utilization of VH gene segments in B lymphocyte of adult BALB/c mice is random and is not regulated or changed during the differentiation of B cells.
