Acute toxic methemoglobinemia is an infrequent complication of the use of various drugs. Severe methemoglobinemia is very often fatal. Methylene blue is an effective drug in the treatment of methemoglobinemia patients. However, failure to respond to methylene blue has been described in patients with sulfhemoglobinemia, chlorate poisoning, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. It is even possible that hemolysis may occur due to methylene blue treatment itself. We encountered a case of a 71-year-old woman who developed methemoglobinemia caused by alprazolam intoxication. She presented with hemolytic anemia and did not respond to methylene blue. In spite of concerted N-acetylcysteine therapy, the hemolytic anemia became aggravated and the patient died eleven days after intoxication.

Methylene blue is a basic thiazine dye frequently used for histologic staining. In clinical toxicology settings, it is also used to treat clinically significant methemoglobinemia. It has dose-dependent oxidation or reduction properties, acting as a reducing agent at lower doses and as an oxidizing agent at higher doses. Hemolytic anemia and hyperbilirubinemia are known toxic effects of methylene blue treatment that have been reported clinically. A 42-year-old woman developed significant methemoglobinemia after acute dapsone overdose; she was treated appropriately with intravenous methylene blue in the therapeutic range. The patient's methemoglobin levels returned to normal. However, 2-4 days later she was noted to have rebound methemoglobinemia, hemolytic anemia, and hyperbilirubinemia. A repeat of Coomb's test and other anemia workups were negative. For management of methylene blue-induced hemolytic anemia, she was administered steroid therapy, N-acetylcysteine, and a blood transfusion. She ultimately recovered, and there were no long-term sequelae from the methylene blue poisoning.

최근 온라인 경매나 오픈 마켓 같은 온라인 전자상거래가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 더불어 사용자가 PDA와 같은 단말기를 휴대하고 이동하는 동안 전자상거래가 이루어질 가능성이 높아지고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 온라인 전자상거래의 구매자와 판매자를 대신해서 협상을 수행하고 매매를 성사시키는 에이전트에 대한 연구가 시도되고 있다. 이를 확장하여 지능형 에이전트를 휴대형단말기에 적용함으로써, 모바일 환경에서 구매자와 판매자간의 전자상거래를 대행하는 협상 에이전트의 필요성이 부각되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 모바일 전자상거래환경에서 에이전트가 협상에 대한 합리적인 판단할 수 있도록 게임이론을 사용하여 모델화 하였고, 휴대형단말기가 블루투스를 통해 인근에 있는 상점을 탐색 및 블루투스 네트워크를 구성하도록 하였다. 또한, 사용자가 협상 항목을 단계적으로 변경할 수 있는 전략을 사용할 수 있게 하였으며, 이를 평가함수를 사용하여 협상해서 최종 거래 결정은 자동 또는 수동으로 성사되게 하였다. 기존 협상 모델은 가격과 배송 방법 같은 협상 항목에 대해 가중치만을 변경하여 만족도를 판단함으로써, 실질적인 항목의 변화는 없고 초기에 설정된 협상 항목이 변경되지 않는 문제점이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 다단계 전략을 사용하여 단계마다 사용자의 요구 사항을 변경시킬 수 있기 때문에, 초기에 설정한 협상 항목의 값이 단계별로 변경될 수 있어 사용자의 의도가 협상에 실질적으로 반영되는 효과가 있다. 더불어 오프라인 전자상거래에서는 구매자가 직접 상점을 방문하여 상품을 검색하고 협상하였다. 그러나, 본 연구에서는 이동중인 사용자의 인근에 위치한 상점 에이전트로부터 상품 정보를 받는다. 그 후에 에이전트가 구매 협상을 하기 때문에 사용자가 이동 중에 상가에 직접 들어가지 않고도 상품을 검색 및 협상 할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 모바일 쇼핑 에이전트를 구현하고, 협상 과정과 결과를 비교하여 모델의 타당성과 성능을 평가한다.

The efficiency of coal-based activated carbon in removing methylene blue (MB) and phenol from aqueous solution was investigated in batch experiments. The batch adsorption kinetics were described by applying pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and first order reversible reaction. The results showed that the adsorption of MB and phenol occurs complexed process including external mass transfer and intraparticle diffusion. The maximum adsorption capacity obtained from Langmuir isotherm was 461.0 mg/g for MB and 194.6 mg/g for phenol, respectively. The values of activation parameters such as free energy (${\Delta}G^0$), enthalpy (${\Delta}H^0$), and entropy (${\Delta}S^0$) were also determined as -19.0~-14.9 kJ/mol, 25.4 kJ/mol, and 135.2 J/mol K for MB and 51.8~54.1 kJ/mol, -29.0 kJ/mol, and -76.4 kJ/mol K for phenol, respectively. The MB adsorption was found to be endothermic and spontaneous process. However, the CV adsorption was found to be exothermic and non-spontaneous process.

Recently, as the number of people using Smartphones increased, several researches has been launched basing it's subject on this issue. In this circumstance, the fusion of sensor technologies and Smartphone offers a variety of functions. The system introduced in the current paper uses a controller which extracts information about accelerating movements of an user. This information is then sent to the Smartphone through Bluetooth communication. The input method proposed in this paper differs from the existing methods such as touch typing or button input in Smartphones. It rather uses the 3-D acceleration sensor which enables users to control their Smartphone anywhere and anytime without directly touching the device. Furthermore, because it is developed for various applications, it can be applied in many different fields.

In this paper, we analyze and simulate the capacity of Bluetooth AP (Access Point) for LBS (Location Based Service) with mobile phones and Bluetooth. Based on the modeling of connection setup times and data transmission times, we derive the capacity model of Bluetooth AP. Moreover, we consider content size and the statistics of incoming users for the simulation. From the simulation, we derive the possible number of users with capacity of the given Bluetooth AP in order to utilize the results in the real application environment.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of multilink Bluetooth service and design the multilink application between various Bluetooth devices. There are many restrictions for the Bluetooth based multilink services. Especially, these restrictions occur due to SCO and ACL which construct logical links. In forming ake a scatternet, only one SCO link can be utilized. Also, the number of ACL link depends on the number of RFCOMM channels. High quality audio data streaming cannot be supported by using SCO link. In that case, ACL link should be used for the audio streaming and the data rate of other data links decreases. We implemented the multilink services to verify the considerations for the multilink service.

The Bluetooth wireless technology is the new short-range RF transmission standard for low-power, low-cost, short-range radio links between mobile devices and electric product. The technology can eliminate the confusion of cables, connectors and protocols confounding communications between devices. Mobile phones, pagers, laptops, PDAs, digital cameras and more, all now have a common structure for communicating across their product platforms. In this paper, we present the Bluetooth protocol stack and headset profiles for the communication between mobile phone and headset. And then, we construct application software which is embedded in the device that operates an application over the Bluetooth protocol stack Next we implement wireless headset using MSP430, not real time operating system.
