Abstract: A method of predicting the likelihood of brain amyloid-beta deposition is provided to predict the occurrence of diseases caused by brain amyloid-beta deposition, including Alzheimer's disease, in Koreans. More specifically, a method of providing information is provided for predicting the likelihood of brain amyloid-beta deposition. A composition and a kit is provided for predicting the likelihood of brain amyloid-beta deposition. The method of providing information for predicting the likelihood of brain amyloid-beta deposition may effectively screen individuals with a high likelihood of brain amyloid-beta deposition at an early stage, thereby providing an appropriate method of inhibiting the development of a disease caused by brain amyloid-beta deposition or treating an individual having the disease.

Abstract: An ultrasound image processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes transmitting and receiving an ultrasound signal to and from an object through an array in which a plurality of apertures are arranged along one direction, calculating at least one of a transmission delay and a reception delay of the ultrasound signal, and forming a multi-beam through synthetic focusing by reflecting the calculated delay on the ultrasound signal received by the array, wherein the calculating of the delay is calculated through a propagation shape model in which the ultrasound signal transmitted or received through the array is centered on virtual sources parallel to the array.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a connector for vehicles, which allows easy disconnection between a male housing and a female housing. The connector includes a male housing, a female housing detachably connected to the male housing, a connection lever rotatably mounted on the female housing so as to be latched to the male housing, the connection lever connecting or disconnecting the male housing to or from the female housing through rotation, and a connector location assurance unit provided to the female housing so as to selectively interrupt rotation of the connection lever.

Abstract: Methods and systems for sequestering carbon dioxide and generating hydrogen are disclosed. In some embodiments, the methods include the following: dissolving an iron based material that includes a carbonate-forming element into a solution including the carbonate-forming element and iron; increasing a pH of the solution to cause precipitation of iron oxide from the solution thereby generating a first source of Fe2O3; reacting the carbonate-forming element in the solution with a first source of carbon dioxide to produce a carbonate thereby sequestering the carbon dioxide; oxidizing the first source of Fe2O3 with a carbonaceous fuel thereby generating a second source of carbon dioxide and iron; and oxidizing the iron with steam thereby generating hydrogen and an iron oxide. Some embodiments include producing iron-based catalysts.
