In this paper, thin film bulk acoustic resonator(TFBAR) lattice and balanced type filter topologies are designed and fabricated. Aluminium nitride and platinum are used for piezoelectric material and top and bottom electrodes, respectively. Air-gap is placed to avoid silicon substrate loading effect and the performance of these lattice and balanced filters is compared with ladder filters. These filters have selectivity over 15 dB for lattice type and 30 dB for balanced type and reveal wider bandwidth of the ladder filters. For balanced type filters, minor tuning procedure is not needed and they are readily available for RF filter in wireless applications.

This study was conducted to find out the effect of follicle size and oocyte type on in vitro maturation of poricine follicular oocytes. TCM-HEPEAS medium was used to basic medium, and the oocyte matured in vitro was stained with the Rapid staining method. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1. The number of follicles an ovary was 20.5. The number of A-and B-typed oocytes an ovary was 2.34. The proportion of A-and b-types oocytes was 40% of the recovery oocytes. 2. Cumulus expanison indexes(CEI) by the follicle size were 1.62∼2.34(<2mm), 1.27∼2.28(2∼5mm) and 1.46∼2.75(>5mm). It was no differ to maturation rate by the follicle size. 3. The degree of oocyte maturation based on oocyte type did not differ for B-and C-typed oocyted but the index of oocyte type A was higher than that of b-and C-typed oocytes. 4. When follicluar oocytes were cultured for 42 hours, the proportion of the Met-II(second metaphase) stage were 22.5% (degree 1), 35.4%(degree 2) and 65.5% (degree 3).

This paper presents the basic design technology on the hybrid type GCB(gas circuit breakers) through the test results. The three type hybrid interrupters according to the arrangement of the thermal expansion chamber and the puffer cylinder(they are called 'serial type', ' parallel/exchanged type ,' and ' parallel/separated type ' respectively in this work) were designed and manufactured and then the tests of operating characteristics and interrupting were performed using a simplified synthetic test facility. The interruption capability with the type and the opening speed and the pressure rise which is required to interrupt were examined. The change of pressure rise with the number of interruption was given quantitatively and therefore the pressure rise can be predicted. Finally, it was shown that the interruption capability tends to increase with the increasing of opening speed in the puffer type; however, the hybrid type interrupter has a different interruption characteristic.

Mucosal tissues are the initial site through which most pathogens invade. As such, vaccines and adjuvants that modulate mucosal immune functions have emerged as important agents for disease prevention. Herein, we investigated the immunomodulatory mechanisms of the B subunit of Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin type IIa ($LT-IIa-B_5$), a potent non-toxic mucosal adjuvant. Alternations in gene expression in response to $LT-IIa-B_5$ were identified using a genome-wide transcriptional microarray that focused on dendritic cells (DC), a type of cell that broadly orchestrates adaptive and innate immune responses. We found that $LT-IIa-B_5$ enhanced the homing capacity of DC into the lymph nodes and selectively regulated transcription of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and cytokine receptors. These data are consistent with a model in which directional activation and differentiation of immune cells by $LT-IIa-B_5$ serve as a critical mechanism whereby this potent adjuvant amplifies mucosal immunity to co-administered antigens.

Obturator nerve block has been commonly used for pain management to prevent involuntary reflex of the adductor thigh muscles. One of several options for this block is chemical neurolysis. Neurolysis is done with chemical agents. Chemical agents used in the neurolysis of the obturator nerve have been alcohol, phenol, and botulinum toxin. In the current case, a patient with spasticity of the adductor thigh muscle due to cervical cord injury had obturator nerve neurolysis done with botulinum toxin type B (BoNT-B). Most of the previous studies have used BoNT-A with only a few reports that have used BoNT-B. BoNT-B has several advantages and disadvantages over BoNT-A. Thus, we report herein a patient who successfully received obturator nerve neurolysis using BoNT-B to treat adductor thigh muscle spasm.

An extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) is the most frequent type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that primarily involves the lung. The radiographical discovery of a pulmonary lesion in an asymptomatic patient is the most common clinical presentation. In general, the prognosis of a localized extranodal pulmonary marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of MALT type is excellent. We report a case of a 61-year-old man who sought evaluation of an incidentally discovered mass in the lung.

For bivariate binomial data with both intra and inter-class correlation, Danaher and Hardie (2005) proposed a bivariate beta-binomial model. However, the model is limited to the situation where the intra-class correlation is strictly positive. Thus it might be seriously inadequate for data with a negative intra-class correlation. Several authors have considered generalized binomial distributions covering a wider range of intra-class correlation which could relax the possible model restrictions imposed. Among others there are the additive/multiplicative and the beta/extended beta binomial model. In this study, bivariate models of the Sarmanov (1966) type are formed by combining each of those univariate models to take care of the inter-class correlation, and are evaluated in terms of the goodness-of-fit. As a result, B-mB and B-ebB are fitted, successfully, to real data and that B-mB, which has a wider permissible range than B-ebB for the intra-class correlation is relatively preferred.

ErbB3/HER3 is a cell surface receptor which belongs to the ErbB/HER subfamily of receptor protein tyrosine kinases. When expressed in NIH/3T3 cells, ErbB3 can form heterodimeric coreceptor with endogenous ErbB2. Among known intracellular effectors of the ErbB2/ErbB3 are mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase. In the present study, we studied relative contributions of above two distinct signaling pathways to the heregulin-induced mitogenic response via activated ErbB3. For this, clonal NIH-3T3 cell lines expressing wild-type ErbB3 and ErbB3 mutants were stimulated with $heregulin{\beta}_1$. While cyclin D1 level was markedly high and further increased by treatment of heregulin in cells expressing wild-type ErbB3, the elimination of either Shc binding or PI 3-kinase binding lowered both levels. This result was supported by the reduction of cyclin $D_1$ expression by preteatment with MAPK kinase inhibitor or PI 3-kinase inhibitor before stimulation with heregulin. In accordance with the cyclin $D_1$ expression, elimination of either Shc binding or PI 3-kinase binding reduced the heregulin-induced DNA synthesis and cell growth rate. Our results obtained by the comparison of wild-type and ErbB3 mutants indicate that the full induction of the cell cycle progression through $G_1/S$ phase by ErbB3 activation is dependent on both Shc/MAPK and PI 3-kinase signal transduction pathways.

This paper tries to explore the local uniqueness and evolutionary characteristics of the spatial structure of the rural dwelling houses of China's Korean Ethnic. For this purpose, the paper selected 51 typical samples in each district, analyzing their ancestral home, building age, size, construction method, family composition etc. Moreover, the paper classified the pattern of the samples and analyzed the characteristic and evolutionary process of each pattern. Conclusions based on the analysis of the ancestral homes are as follows: 1.The house pattern of these China's Korean ethnics who are originally from the Hamkyung province is mainly jeongji- access type (A-type). A-type is mainly distributed along the Tumen River and Yalu River, in the Sino-Russian borders and the inland areas of Heilongjiang province. With the migration of the China's Korean ethnics, in Sino-Russian borders and the inland areas of Heilongjiang province, A-type with the 'badang' space, vestibule-access type (C-type) and living-centered type (D-type) appeared. 2. House patterns of Korean ethnics who are originally from the Pyongan province include three types: A-type, kitchen type (B-type) and C-type. A-type is mainly distributed along the Yalu River while B-type and C-type are mainly in the inland areas of these three Northeast provinces. With the decrease of population, the merger of rooms happened in A-type; while in the B-type and C-type, bathroom and storage came to exist in the north of the room. 3. The house pattern of Korean ethnics who are originally from the Gyeongsang province is mainly B-type, which is distributed in the inland areas of Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces. Besides, C-type and D-type also exist. They are in Jilin and Liaoning provinces. In the process of evolution, storage was set in the north part of the room or the window was cancelled in order to defend the coldness in Heilongjiang area, while in Jilin and Liaoning provinces, living room came into existence, which is gradually developing to D-type.

This study analyzes the form of sleeve heads, which is an important internal element that affects the appearance of jacket sleeves. It characterized sleeve head forms by investigating angles, materials, and a combination of formations for 50 sleeve heads. It conducted an appearance evaluation by comparing and analyzing the results. This paper develops a sleeve head appropriately for sleeve construction. The study results are as follows. First, the product was divided into three parts: based on, force receiving, and sleeve cap parts. There were four types of man's sleeve head: straight, arc, and curve A and B types. The woman's sleeve head had two types: straight and curve B type. Second, the feature of each type of sleeve head was analyzed. A straight type emphasized the based on part. An arc type highlighted the force receiving part while the based on part decreased. The sleeve cap part, force receiving part, and based on part were emphasized in the arc type sleeve head. Third, as a result of the appearance evaluation, each type was rank as straight type < arc type ${\leq}$ curve A < curve B. The straight type did not get positive results as it had extra ease when the sleeve head was attached to a Jacket Sleeve. The arc type was evaluated poorly due to an inappropriate sleeve cap composition. The curve type received an excellent overall outcome as it fit into the sleeve cap part well and highlighted the force receiving part in order to minimize front and back wrinkles. Therefore, the curve type made the resemblance of the jacket appearance perfect and closest to the sleeve pattern.
