Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition contains Nkx3.2 and a fragment thereof as an active ingredient. The Nkx3.2 and/or the fragment thereof inhibit(s) retinal degeneration caused by oxidative stress and preserve(s) visual function. In addition, the Nkx3.2 and/or the fragment thereof inhibit(s) cell death due to the oxidative stress of retinal pigment epithelial cells and inhibit(s) choroidal neovascularization and retinal edema. Therefore, a composition containing the Nkx3.2 and/or the fragment thereof as active ingredient(s) can be effectively used for preventing or treating retinal dystrophies or macular degeneration.

Abstract: Disclosed is a composition comprising iron oxide magnetic particles. The composition is delivered to a liver in a hepatocyte-specific manner to minimize damage to other organs, and is safely excreted from a body within a few weeks. Further, the particles have excellent hepatocyte targeting ability, and thus are used as a liver cancer treatment agent and a hepatocyte targeting carrier.

Abstract: Disclosed is a heap memory manager that manages an entry and a removal of data from a single allocated block of memory. The heap memory manager may receive a set of nodes from a tree-based representation of a point cloud or another image, may allocate a single block of memory for processing and/or rendering the set of nodes, may assign each node of the set of nodes to an exclusive range of addresses within the single block of memory, and may upload data of each of the set of nodes to the single block of memory in the exclusive range of addresses assigned to each node. A controller may then invoke a compute kernel with one or more compute kernel instances processing an address range that is different than the exclusive range of addresses assigned to each node of the set of nodes.
