Abstract: A method of estimating land surface temperature lapse rate using an infrared image is disclosed. In the method of estimating land surface temperature lapse rate using an infrared image, a target area for the estimation of land surface temperature lapse rate is selected. The atmospheric transmittance of the target area is calculated. Reference temperature is estimated at a reference location set in the target area as desired. A temperature difference is calculated from the atmospheric transmittance and the estimated reference temperature, and then a temperature difference image is generated. Land surface temperature lapse rate is estimated from the temperature difference image and a Digital Elevation Map (DEM) in an identical area using an elevation-based temperature difference distribution.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a yarn plying apparatus which is able to ply two or more than two yarns, for example, a natural yarn, a synthetic yarn or a metal filament.

Abstract: Disclosed are nanoparticles that are introduced into cells and express a specific protein and a manufacturing method thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to mRNA nanoparticles, which increase the expression of a specific protein capable of stimulating the cellular immune system to induce cellular immune responses and are thus applicable to treat a variety of diseases, do not require passage across the nuclear envelope because a desired gene is delivered not as plasmid DNA itself but in the form of mRNA, thus improving the efficiency of protein expression, and the nanoparticles are generated through a one-step process with a relatively small amount of plasmid DNA via rolling circle transcription (RCT), thereby providing a simple and economical process for gene delivery. The present invention is also concerned with such mRNA nanoparticles.
