Background: This study is a report on a case of a Wernicke's encephalopathy with quadriplegia, ataxia, and impaired cognition, whose condition was improved by Korean medicine treatment. Case report: A 51-year-old man diagnosed with Wernicke's encephalopathy was treated with acupuncture, Banhabakchulchunma-tang mixed with Ondam-tang-gami (半夏白朮天麻湯合溫膽湯加味), cupping, moxibustion, and rehabilitation. Clinical symptoms were measured with the Manual Muscle Test (MMT), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Korean Mini Mental Status Exam (K-MMSE), Functional Independence Measure (FIM), Modified Barthel Index (MBI), and a numeric rating scale (NRS). After 22 days of treatment, his clinical symptoms showed improvement. The motor function improved (MMT Rt. side Gr. 4+G/4+G, Lt. side Gr. 4G/4+G → Rt. side Gr. 5-N/4+G, Lt. side Gr. 5-N/4+G), Ataxia was relieved (BBS 3→33), cognition improved (K-MMSE 15→27), ADL scores showed improvement (FIM 58→90, MBI 40→75), and the NRS score decreased for headache (3→0). Conclusion: Korean medicine treatment could be effective in the treatment of patients with Wernicke's encephalopathy.

관로 및 맨홀에 퇴적된 유사는 우수관거의 통수능을 감소시키고 전체 우수관거 시스템의 효과를 저하시켜, 저지대 침수 및 맨홀역류의 원인이 되고 있다. 또한 관로의 최소 유속이 유지되지 않으면 오염물이 침전되고, 관로내의 유하시간이 길어져 침전물 부패로 인한 황하물질 및 악취 등이 발생될 수 있다. 따라서 관로의 유사와 관련된 주된 연구는 관로내의 유사거동 특성을 규명하는 것이었다. 그러나 맨홀에서의 유사퇴적 및 배출 등과 관련된 연구는 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서 유입관과 유출관이 일직선상으로 연결된 중간맨홀을 대상으로 수리실험을 실시하고, 맨홀형태(사각형, 원형), 유사유입형태(연속주입, 일정기간주입), 유사유입량 및 맨홀내부 구조변화에 따른 맨홀내 유사퇴적량을 확인하였다. 또한 맨홀내에 퇴적된 유사를 완전히 배출할 수 있는 관거 유속을 측정하였다. 유사퇴적량을 확인한 결과 맨홀내부의 구조변화가 없는 기본형에서는 유사유입형태가 연속주입 또는 일정기간주입인지와는 관계없이 유입유사량이 증가하면 퇴적량 또한 증가하였고, 맨홀형태가 사각형 또는 원형인지와도 관계없이 맨홀내부의 유사퇴적량은 비슷하였다. 기본형과 비교하여 맨홀내부에 벤칭을 설치하였을 경우 유사퇴적량을 50 % 이상 저감시킬 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 사각형과 원형맨홀에서 동일하였으며 유사유입형태가 연속적으로 유입되는지 또는 일정기간동안만 순간적으로 유입되는지와도 관계없이 동일하였다. 그러나 벤칭이 설치된 사각형 맨홀의 경우 맨홀내부에 퇴적된 유사를 완전히 배출시킬 수 있는 유입관거유속이 기본형과 비교하여 30 % 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 원형맨홀에서는 벤칭을 설치함으로써 유사 완전배출을 위한 관거유속 또한 저감시킬 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제안한 개선안의 경우 사각형, 원형, 연속주입, 일정기간주입 등의 조건과 관계없이 퇴적량을 50 % 이상 저감시킬 수 있었고, 유사 완전배출을 위한 관거유속 또한 기본형과 벤칭이 설치된 맨홀과 비교하여 50 % 이상 저감시킬 수 있음을 실험적으로 확인하였다. 원형 맨홀의 경우 완전배출 관거유속은 벤칭설치 시와 같았지만 완전배출까지의 소요시간은 본 연구의 개선안이 현저히 짧았다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 제시안 맨홀내부 구조변화 개선안이 흐름개선과 함께 맨홀내부에 퇴적되는 유사량을 저감시킬 수 있는데 효과가 있다고 판단된다.

It is important to select the most appropriate channel for efficient transmission of massive data in wireless sensor network. In the fixed channel method for wireless sensor node, shortage of frequency may be a major constraint to support a variety of environments. In this paper, the method that seeks common channels between two nodes without common control channels in the existing wireless cognitive radio network is introduced in order to use efficiently the channel of wireless sensor network. The problem of existing method shows the severe degradation of performance that is caused by interference of linkage between selected channels, so that the sequential algorithm is suggested to improve the performance. From the results of computer simulation, the suggested method shows that the link can be set 50% faster than the other methods as the number of links increases because the beacon packet waiting time caused by the interference decreases remarkably.

Recently FCC has considered about the unlicensed device operation in licensed bands. However, this operation can give the harmful interference to the existent licensed system while unlicensed devices operate. Therefore, there should be strict requirements to protect licensed system. So in this paper we propose dynamic frequency selection method in the MAC layer, which is based on the cognitive radio technology. The proposed dynamic frequency selection method creates channel lists after sensing the licensed channels. And it helps the CR base station immediately to moves the current channels that are used by the unlicensed system to other available bands dynamically when a licensed system's signal is detected. This method can reduce interference that is caused by unlicensed devices. In addition, it can maximize channel utilization with enabling coexistence of unlicensed system and licensed system.

'Verbal overshadowing' refers to the phenomenon whereby the verbal reporting of a visual memory of a face interferes with subsequent visual recognition of that face. Schooler (2002)[1] suggested that verbalization causes a shift from a holistic/global processing orientation towards a more analytic/local processing orientation that is detrimental to face recognition. The present research investigated whether this processing shift occurs or not by assessing performance of Navon task following face recognition task, interposing verbalization between encoding stage and retrieval stage. The face recognition task showed the verbal overshadowing effect. In the Navon task, while non-verbalization group showed global precedence, verbalization group showed local precedence. This results imply that the cause of verbal overshadowing effect is a processing shift induced by verbalization.

Six reagents (water, citric acid, phosphoric acid, oxalic acid, acetic anhydride and maleic anhydride) were evaluated for their effectiveness is degumming rice bran oil. All chemical reagents tested were found to be significantly more effective than water in removing phosphatides from crude rice bran oil. Especially acetic anhydride and phosphoric acid were effective in reducing phosphorous levels (92.5% and 93.3% removeal, respectively). Nonhydratable phospholipids, lysophosphatidyl choline, were removed more effectively by the chemical reagents than by the water degumming. The major phospholipid(PL) components were phophatidyl choline. Oleic, linolieic and palmitic acids were the major fatty acids of PL in rice bran acetone insolubles(AI). The AI recovered by acetic anhydride degumming produced the most stable emulsions. However, the AI obtained from phophoric acid or oxalic acid treatments had very poor emulsifying properties.

Alzheimer's disease is the most common degenerative brain diseases that causes dementia. ${\beta}$-amyloid neuritic plaque density that accumulates in the brain is difficult to perform daily living, such as memory loss, language ability deterioration. It is used to estimate ${\beta}$-amyloid neuritic plaque density in adult patients with cognitive impairment who are being evaluated for Alzheimer's disease and other causes of cognitive impairment. Using the $^{18}F$-Florbetaben with high sensitivity and specificity for the ${\beta}$-amyloid neuritic plaque density to evaluate the usefulness for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. In $^{18}F$-FDG Brain imaging shows no specific findings. And it appeared on the MR-Brain imaging without atrophy of the hippocampus. However, the intake of ${\beta}$-amyloid neuritic plaque density in $^{18}F$-Florbetaben informs that it is the progress of Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, $^{18}F$-Florobetaben is very useful for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

Today's microprocessor designs are not free from temperature as well as power consumption. As processor technology scales down, an on-chip circuitry increases power density, which incurs excessive temperature (hotspot) problem. To tackle thermal problems cost-effectively, Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM) has been suggested: DTM techniques have benefits of thermal reliability and cooling cost. However, they require trade-off between thermal control and performance loss. This paper proposes a dual integer register file structure to minimize the performance degradation due to DTM invocations. In on-chip thermal control, the most important functional unit is an integer register file. It is the hotspot unit because of frequent read and write data accesses. The proposed dual integer register file migrates read data accesses by adding an extra register file, thus reduces per-unit dynamic power dissipation. As a result, the proposed structure completely eliminates localized hotspots in the integer register file, resulting in much less performance degradation by average 13.35% (maximum 18%) improvement compared to the conventional DTM architecture.

Information filtering systems, which are designed fur users' needs, do not satisfy user's diverse requests as their filtering accuracy is unstable sometimes. This study suggests an information filtering system based on cognitive brain mapping by simulating the processes of information in human brain. Compared to traditional filtering systems, which use specific words or pattern in their filtering systems, the method suggested in this article uses both key words and relationships among these words. The significance of this study is on simulating information storing processes in human brain by mapping both key words and their relationships among them together. To combine these two methods, this study finds balances in representing two methods by searching optimal weights of each of them.

Lately, spectrum sensing performance has been improved by using cooperate spectrum sensing which each results of sensing of several secondary users are reported to the fusion center. Using Cognitive Radio, secondary user is able to share a bandwidth allocated to primary user. In this paper, we propose a new decentralized cooperative spectrum sensing scheme which compensates the performance degradation of existing decentralized cooperative spectrum sensing considering the error probability of the channel which sensed result of the secondary user is delivered to the fusion center in decentralized cooperative spectrum sensing. In addition, a sensing threshold optimization of minimizing the error probability of decentralized cooperative spectrum sensing is introduced by deriving the equation and the optimal sensing threshold has been confirmed to maximize the decentralized cooperative spectrum sensing performance.
