Abstract: A compound of Chemical Formula 1, and an organic photoelectric device, an image sensor, and an electronic device including the same are disclosed: In Chemical Formula 1, the definition of each group and parameter is as described in the detailed description.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a polishing pad, which may maintain polishing performances required for a polishing process, such as a removal rate and a polishing profile, minimize defects that may occur on a wafer during the polishing process, and polish layers of different materials so as to have the same level of flatness even when the layers are polished at the same time, and a method for producing the polishing pad. In addition, according to the present disclosure, it is possible to determine a polishing pad, which shows an optimal removal rate selectivity along with excellent performance in a CMP process, through the physical property values of the polishing pad without a direct polishing test.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition and the like, for preventing, treating or alleviating diabetes, comprising an LGI3-derived peptide as an effective component. The composition comprising, as an active ingredient, an LGI3-derived peptide comprising an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 2 of the present invention exhibits an inhibitory effect on weight gain, elevation of blood glucose levels, pancreas and liver damage, elevation of blood lipid levels, and an increase of insulin resistance indexes accompanied by diabetes and diabetes-associated metabolic disorders associated with diabetes, and thus can prevent, treat, or alleviate diabetes and metabolic disorders associated with diabetes.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to: a marker composition for diagnosing atherosclerosis severity; a composition for diagnosing atherosclerosis severity; an atherosclerosis severity diagnosis kit including the composition; a method for screening substances for preventing or treating atherosclerosis; and a method for providing information about a diagnosis of atherosclerosis severity, wherein LGI3 expression or activity levels are used. According to the present invention, the severity of atherosclerosis can be diagnosed or predicted, and personalized medicine and predictive medicine can be practiced using such information. Moreover, the present invention can treat atherosclerosis without affecting other metabolic phenotypes by administering an LGI3 antagonist.

Abstract: The tree surgery method includes a decayed-tissue removing step of removing a decayed tissue of a cavity and exposing a solid woody tissue; an internal treating step of performing sterilization and insecticidal treatment on the woody tissue and drying the woody tissue; a protective layer forming step of coating the woody tissue with a protective agent to form a protective layer; a cambium exposing step of cutting out an edge of the cavity and exposing a cambium; a cavity filling step of filling the cavity on which the protective layer is formed with a urethane foam, and an artificial-tree-bark forming step of filling and coating an upper surface of the urethane foam with a tree bark material including a mixture of cork powder and silicone sealant to form an artificial tree bark. The tree bark material includes a mixture of colored silicone sealants allowing a color similar to real trees.
