Adiponectin as an active ingredient is eventually revealed to show prevention or therapeutic efficacies for eye diseases such as dry eye (syndrome), inflammatory eye disease and side effects due to the use of contact lenses by promoting tear secretion, alleviating ocular surface irregularities, decreasing inflammatory cytokines on the ocular surface and lacrimal gland, and increasing conjunctival goblet cell density. In addition, the composition having eye contact lubrication effects may be used as cleaners or lubricants for preventing non-bacterial inflammation due to wearing contact lenses.

Abstract: Disclosed is a character recognition preprocessing method and apparatus for correcting a nonlinear character string into a linear character string. A binarized character string region is divided into character regions on a character-by-character basis. Upper and lower feature points of each character region are derived, and an upper boundary line, which is a curve connecting the upper feature points of the character regions, and a lower boundary line, which is a curve connecting the lower feature points of the character regions, are generated by applying cubic spline interpolation. Nonlinearity is corrected through adaptive region enlargement by using the maximum horizontal length and the maximum height of the divided character regions.

Abstract: A method for tracking multiple image objects, includes resampling particles from each of the image objects tracked in a previous image, calculating respective weights of the resampled particles, and predicting and tracking locations of the image objects in a current image based on values obtained by multiplying the locations of the particles by corresponding weights, wherein when an image object of the previous image has a neighboring image object located within a threshold distance, weights of the particles sampled from the image object are calculated by multiplying image values of the current image by penalties, which are values of distances between the corresponding particles and the neighboring image object. The method is capable of avoiding a hijacking problem in which identifiers of nearby objects are confused with each other or disappear during the tracking of multiple objects.

Abstract: Disclosed are three-dimensional porous light-weight structures composed of helical wires and the manufacturing method of the same. Continuous helical wire groups in three or six directions having a designated angle (for example, 60 degrees or 90 degrees) with respect to one another in a space cross and are then assembled, and thus new truss-shaped three-dimensional lattice truss structures having high strength and stiffness to weight ratio and a large surface area and method of mass-producing the structures at low costs are provided. The three-dimensional porous light-weight structures are manufactured by a method in which helical wires are three-dimensionally assembled through a continuous process rather than a method in which net-shaped wires are simply woven and stacked, and thus have a configuration similar to the ideal hexahedron truss, Octet truss, or truss in which regular octahedrons and cuboctahedrons are combined, thereby having excellent mechanical properties or thermal or aerodynamic properties.

Further, the present invention can be valuably used in the development of a transformed plant, which seeks to produce valuable substances from fruit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining a genotoxicity of a test substance, comprising the steps of: (a) transforming a fish with a nucleotide sequence encoding a non-fluorescent fluorescence protein with a mutation; (b) treating a test substance to the transformed fish; and (c) measuring a fluorescence in the test substance-treated fish, wherein the fluorescence is generated by reversion of the non-fluorescent fluorescence protein to the fluorescence protein due to a back mutation of the nucleotide sequence in the test substance-treated fish. According to the present invention, MutaFish system, Zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) line, in which the fluorescence protein variant, preferably wild type EGFP variant (EGFPmut) is transformed, provides a much excellent animal system for measuring a genotoxicity of a test substance via production of a fluorescent fry larvae generated through reversion of the fluorescent protein variant caused by treatment of the test substance.
