  • Background: Incorrect postures of adolescents caused by the use of smart devices have been noted as a factor causing spinal diseases. Objectives: To examine the effect of joint mobilization and stretching on Cobb's angle and respiratory function in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Design: Cluster-randomized controlled trial. Methods: A total of 22 subjects with AIS were enrolled. They were allocated to two groups: the joint mobilization (n=11) and the stretching (n=11). All interventions were conducted for 30 minutes, three times a week for six weeks. Outcome measures were the Cobb's angle and respiratory function. The Cobb's angle and respiratory function measured using the X-ray and Micro-Quark. Results: Joint mobilization group showed significant differences in Cobb's angle and respiratory function, but stretching group showed significant differences Cobb's angle. The differences in peak expiratory flow (PEF) between the two groups were significant. Conclusion: This study proved that joint mobilization is a more effective intervention for AIS to improve Cobb's angle and respiratory function, when compared to stretching.

  • This paper presents implementation of two types of the 802.11 MAC engine for the next generation WLAN, 802.11n. The first version of MAC engine consists of hardwired logic and embedded firmware. Hardwired logic includes Tx block, Rx block, Backoff block, and ChannelManage block. Embedded firmware contains Protocol Control block, MLME block, and MSDU processing block. The first version has a time-critical fault during the atomic transmission caused by software overhead, so it can not be applied to 802.11n MAC. For that reason, the second version has additional blocks with hardwired logic modules to reduce software overhead of the first version. This enhanced version has 73Mbps throughput and it is expected to be further improved up to 129 Mbps with frame aggregation which is one of the key additional features of 802.11n. As a result, the second version of MAC engine can be applied to 802.11n MAC.

  • In this paper, we introduce the concept of fuzzy (r, s)-semi-irresolute mappings on intuitionistic fuzzy topological spaces in Sostak's sense, which is a generalization of the concept of fuzzy semi-irresolute mappings introduced by S. Malakar. The characterizations for the fuzzy (r, s)-semi-irresolute mappings are obtained by terms of semi-interior, semi-${\theta}$-interior, semi-clopen, and regular semi-open.

  • In this paper, we introduce the k-Hankel-Wigner transform on R in some problems of time-frequency analysis. As a first point, we present some harmonic analysis results such as Plancherel's, Parseval's and an inversion formulas for this transform. Next, we prove a Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and a Calderón's reproducing formula for this transform. We conclude this paper by studying an extremal function for this transform.

  • Recent research on mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has shown that cognitive and memory decline in this disease is accompanied by disruptive changes in the brain functional network. However, there have been no graph-theoretical studies using $^{11}C$-PIB PET data of the Alzheimer's Disease or mild cognitive impairment. In this study, we acquired $^{18}F$-FDG PET and $^{11}C$-PIB PET images of twenty-four normal aging control participants and thirty individuals with MCI from ADNI (Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative) database. Brain networks were constructed by thresholding binary correlation matrices using graph theoretical approaches. Both normal control and MCI group showed small-world property in $^{11}C$-PIB PET images as well as $^{18}F$-FDG PET images. $^{11}C$-PIB PET images showed significant difference between NC (normal control) and MCI over large range of sparsity values. This result will enable us to further analyze the brain using established graph-theoretical approaches for $^{11}C$-PIB PET images.

  • IEEE 802.11 규격[1]은 2.4GHz 및 5GHz 대역에서 무선 근거리 접속 통신을 위한 국제 표준이다. 1997 년 2.4GHz 대역에서 1, 2 Mbps 의 속도를 지원하는 최초의 규격이 정의된 이래, 속도 개선을 위한 변복조 방식, 보안, QoS 등 다양한 요구 사항을 만족하기 위하여 표준이 지속적으로 개정되어 왔으며 2012 년 새로 개정된 표준이 발표된 바 있다. 특히, 최근 들어서 스마트폰의 무선랜 사용량이 폭발적으로 증가하고 무선랜 접속을 위한 핫스팟 역시 수가 크게 늘면서, 보안성을 유지하면서도 무선랜의 초기 연결접속 시간을 최소화(FILS; Fast Initial Link Setup)함으로써 무선랜 접속 요청 이용자 수에 확장성을 갖는 무선랜 규격을 제정할 필요성이 생기면서 IEEE 내에 802.11ai Task Group[3]이 승인되어 현재 표준화 작업을 진행중에 있다. IEEE 802.11 무선랜 규격에서 초기 연결접속 시간의 상당 부분을 네트워크 발견, 보안 접속, 인증 등에 소요하게 되어, IEEE 802.11ai에서는 보안성을 떨어뜨리지 않으면서도 빠르게 인증을 하기 위한 매커니즘에 대해 논의 중이다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11ai에서 논의 중인 "FILS를 위한 EAP/EAP-RP 기반의 빠른 인증" 기술에 대해 살펴보고, 이의 장단점을 분석하여 보다 개선된 형태의 빠른 인증 기법을 제안하고자 한다.

  • A bacterial strain, identified as Staphylococcus aureus JJ-11, producing collagenase was isolated out of 40 persons having skin troubles. S. aureus JJ-11 produced collagenase optimally in the media containing 1.5%(w/v) gelatin, 1%(w/v) yeast extract, 0.4%(w/v) $K_2HPO_4$, 0.005%(w/v) $NiSO_4{\cdot}6H_2O$ at $37^{\circ}C$ for 18 hrs. The collagenase produced by Staphylococcus aureus JJ-11 was purified at 6.66-folds purity through application of chromatography with Amberlite IRA-900 and Sephacryl S-300 HR columns. The molecular weight of the partially purified enzyme was estimated to be 62 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The protein exhibited optimum enzymatic activity at pH 7.0, and showed a stable activity at pH 4-8. The optimum temperature for collagenase was at $37^{\circ}C$, and activity was maintained upto $40^{\circ}C$. The enzyme activity was slightly elevated in the presence of divalents such as, $Fe^{2+},\;Co^{2+}\;and\;Ba^{2+}$ However, the activity was inhibited in the presence of $Sr^{2+}\;or\;Hg^{2+}$. The inhibition of activity by O-phenanthroline and EDTA suggested that the enzyme may contain metal which is required for activity. The enzyme showed the highest activity when insoluble collagen (type I) was, used as a substrate.
