Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for inhibiting the growth of cancer stem cells and a use thereof. When treated with the EMP3 inhibitor, cancer stem cells expressing ALDH1 decrease in self-renewal potential, invasiveness, and migration ability and thus are restrained from growing, whereby cancer having stemness properties, which are resistant to conventional anticancer therapies, can be effectively treated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of separating tellurium (Te) and selenium (Se) by using a neutral extractant (for example, either one of TBP and TEHP, or in combination thereof) from a dissolved solution of tellurium, such as a waste thermoelectric material. When tellurium and selenium are separated by using the method of this invention from a dissolved solution in which a Bi2Te3-based waste thermoelectric material is dissolved, a recovery rate of 97% or more and a separation factor of 400 or more for tellurium may be achieved, and therefore, tellurium and selenium may be separated in a very effective and economic manner as compared to conventional methods. Further, the present invention is characterized in that environmental pollution issues may be significantly reduced as compared with conventional methods carried out in a strong acidic solution since the present separation and extraction is conducted under a relative weak acid atmosphere in a pH range of 1.0 to 1.5.

Abstract: A method for separating tellurium includes separating and recovering tellurium (Te) from a dissolved solution containing the tellurium using a solvent extraction by an extractant, which contains one selected from a group consisting of tributyl phosphate (TBP), tris(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (TEHP) and a combination thereof. The method may separate and recover the tellurium as a high-priced metallic element from a material, such as a Bi2Te3-based waste thermoelectric material, which contains not only the tellurium but also other metallic elements, simply and economically using a solvent extraction, whereby the tellurium with high yield and high purity can be separated, recovered and recycled.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for processing a signal using a single correlator are provided. The apparatus may include a first storage unit storing satellite signal samples, a correlator receiving the satellite signal samples stored in the first storage unit in units of at least two satellite signal samples and performing correlation, and a controller storing the satellite signal samples received from an RF terminal in the first storage unit and controlling the correlator based on a predetermined control value. Accordingly, it is possible to ensure speed and performance even when tracking a plurality of satellite signals using a single correlator.

Abstract: A correlation method of a code division multiple access receiver using mapping. Digital data with each signal composed of two bits are packed by a predetermined packing unit; blocking the packed data into data blocks according to a size corresponding to the repetition period of a C/A code. The packed data are recognized as an index in a correlation value mapping table having ICV and QCV mapped with each of different indexes and the ICV and the QCV are called from the correlation value mapping table. The called ICV and QCV are integrated according to the data blocks; and calculating a phase error of a carrier wave and a phase error of the C/A code using the ICV and the QCV according to the data blocks. A signal processing method is performed using the correlation method to correct phase errors.
