Abstract: In a method for treating a cancer expressing secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC), a composition including an albumin and at least one cysteine bound thereto is administered to a subject in need thereof. The cancer expressing the SPARC may be at least one selected from the group consisting of a brain tumor, melanoma, breast cancer, rectal cancer and stomach cancer.

Abstract: A cathode for a lithium secondary battery includes a cathode current collector, and a cathode active material layer formed on the cathode current collector. The cathode active material layer includes a cathode active material and a conductive material ID/IG is in a range from 0.5 to 1.25 in a Raman spectrum of the cathode active material layer. The cathode active material includes lithium metal oxide particles containing nickel and manganese and having a content of cobalt of less than 2 mol % among all elements except for lithium and oxygen.

Abstract: An apparatus for predicting a traffic speed and a method thereof are provided. The apparatus includes an input device that receives traffic speed sequences of a plurality of links and a controller that detects a spatio-temporal relationship between traffic speeds of the plurality of links and predicts a future traffic speed of a target link based on the spatio-temporal relationship between the traffic speeds of the plurality of links.

Abstract: An inductor includes a first magnetic body having a toroidal shape and having a ferrite; and a second magnetic body configured to be different from the first magnetic body and including a metal ribbon, wherein the second magnetic body includes an outer magnetic body disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the first magnetic body and an inner magnetic body disposed on an inner circumferential surface of the first magnetic body, and each of the outer magnetic body and inner magnetic body is wound in a plurality of layers in a circumferential direction of the first magnetic body.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a substrate; a bit-line on the substrate and extending in a first direction; first and second channel patterns on the bit-line; the second channel pattern being spaced apart from the first channel pattern in the first direction; a first word-line between the first and second channel patterns and extending in a second direction that intersects the first direction; a second word-line between the first and second channel patterns, extending in the second direction, and being spaced apart from the first word-line in the first direction; capacitors on and connected to the channel patterns; wherein the first and second channel patterns include first and second metal oxide patterns sequentially on the bit-line, each of the first and second metal oxide patterns include an amorphous metal oxide, and a composition of the first metal oxide pattern is different from a composition of the second metal oxide pattern.

Abstract: A fire extinguishing system for an energy storage device having a battery rack for a battery module, the fire extinguishing system including a sensing unit configured to detect when a value of one or more of a temperature of the battery module, a voltage of the battery module, or smoke from the battery module is higher than a preset threshold value; and a fire extinguishing unit configured to provide a fire extinguishing agent to the battery module when the sensing unit detects that the value is higher than the preset threshold value, the fire extinguishing unit including a heat-sensitive member. The heat-sensitive member is positioned at a battery cell vent hole for a battery cell in the battery module. The heat-sensitive member is configured to allow the fire extinguishing agent into the vent hole by being melted when a temperature of the heat-sensitive member is higher than a predetermined temperature.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a transformant which is transformed to express Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase (BVMO), a method for producing C5-C14 medium-chain ?-hydroxy fatty acids, ?,?-dicarboxylic acids, ?-amino fatty acids, or alcohols from C16-C20 long-chain fatty acids by biotransformation using the transformant, a method for producing a fatty acid derivative having an ester group which is introduced into the chain thereof from keto fatty acid using the BVMO, and novel ?-hydroxy fatty acids which are prepared by the method. Degradation products such as C5 to C14 ?-hydroxy fatty acids, ?,?-dicarboxylic acids, ?-amino fatty acids, alcohols can be produced in a large amount from C16 to C20 long-chain fatty acids contained in a medium by biotransformation using a transformant capable of expressing BVMO of the present invention. Therefore, it can be widely used to produce ?-hydroxy fatty acids, ?,?-dicarboxylic acids, ?-amino fatty acids or alcohols in a more safe and economic manner.
