Abstract: A siloxane-based resin having a novel structure and a semiconductor interlayer insulating film using the same. The siloxane-based resins have a low dielectric constant in addition to excellent mechanical properties and are useful materials in an insulating film between interconnect layers of a semiconductor device.

Abstract: Disclosed is an alignment layer rubbing apparatus including a table for seating a glass substrate and a rubbing roller movably positioned on top of the table so as to rub an alignment layer of the glass substrate seated on the table. The table and the rubbing roller are tilted at a predetermined angle, and the rubbing roller is adapted to move at an angle of 0° on the table. Therefore, the damage inflicted on the alignment layer due to poor aligning of rubbing fabric attached to the rubbing roller or due to the existence of an alien substance on a surface of the rubbing roller is not concentrated, but rather spans across a region. This reduces the occurrence of rubbing stains and the visibility of damaged parts.

Abstract: Provided are a compound having an activity for inhibiting dioxin toxicity, a pharmaceutical composition including the compound and a method of treating disease resulting from dioxin toxicity using the compound. More particularly, the compound is represented by formula 1: where, R1 may be a hydrogen atom, a C1-C5 alkyl group or an alkylketone group; and R2 may be a hydrogen atom, a C1-C10 alkyl group or —COR3, wherein R3 may be a C1-C5 alkyl group, a C1-C5 alkylamide group, a C3-C12 aryl group or a heteroaryl group. A compound having an activity for inhibiting dioxin toxicity by directly antagonizing a dioxin receptor and specifically lessening dioxin-associated toxicity without an adverse effect resulting from an overdose of the compound or an outbreak of another disease can be obtained.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of protecting cells against damage caused at least in part by apoptosis, comprising administering to subjects a therapeutic dose of leumorphin having cytoprotective activity, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of leumorphin having a cytoprotective activity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing dielectric ceramic powder and a multilayer ceramic capacitor using the ceramic powder. According to the invention, BaCO3 powder is dispersed into a solution of solvent and dispersant to prepare BaCO3 slurry and then the resultant BaCO3 slurry is wet-milled. Also, TiO2 powder slurry is mixed into the wet-milled BaCO3 slurry to form mixed slurry and then the mixed slurry is dried into mixed powder. Finally, the dried mixed powder is calcined to produce BaTiO3 powder.

Abstract: A siloxane-based resin having a novel structure and a semiconductor interlayer insulating film using the same. The siloxane-based resins have a low dielectric constant in addition to excellent mechanical properties and are useful materials in an insulating film between interconnecting layers of a semiconductor device.

Abstract: The present invention provides peptide complexes comprising phospholipase D and one or morephospholipase D-interacting peptides. The peptide complexes are useful in screening assays foridentifying compounds effective in modulating the peptide complexes and in treating and/or preventing diseases associated with phospholipase D and it's interacting partners. In addition, methods for screening modulators of the peptide complexes or interacting members thereof are provided.
