The purpose of this paper is to draw main characteristics of local climate change plans of 8 pilot cities through a serious of comparative analyses. The results of the analyses on the mitigation plans and the adaptation plans are the followings; Firstly, climate change plans have two types of distinctive frameworks. Secondly, vision, objectives, and main strategies are composed of main key words. The key words of mitigation plans are low carbon, GHG, green city, energy, and green growth. Adaptation, ecosystem, healthy, safe, disaster, water are the key words that frequently shown in adaptation plan. Thirdly, the mitigation plans tend to place emphasis on transportation and common area. The adaptation plans tend to weigh on water control and forestry. The main characteristics of both mitigation plans and adaptation plans of 8 pilot cities are summarized and policy implications are suggested.

The aim of palliative radiotherapy (RT) is to control cancer-related local symptoms with minimal radiation reaction. About one third of all radiation treatments are given with palliative intent. Indications for RT in symptom palliation are as follows: Pain from bone metastasis, pressure symptom from brain and spinal cord, obstruction of bronchus, esophagus, superior vena cava and malignant cancer bleeding from bronchus, urinary tract, uterine cervix and rectum. In hospice palliative care, RT is very effective for symptom palliation and improvement of quality of life without influence on survival.

본 논문에서는 공간 영역의 제약 정보를 이용한 적응 영상 복원 방식을 제안한다. 공간 영역의 제약 정보로는 국부 정보의 평균, 분산 및 최대 값을 이용하였다. 반복 기법을 이용하여 매 반복 해에서 얻어진 복원 영상으로부터 상기 제약 정보를 설정하게 되고, 위의 제약 정보는 임의의 입력 값에 의해 정의되는 매개 변수와 더불어 복원 영상의 국부 완화 정도를 결정하게 된다. 제안된 방식을 이용하여 복원 영상을 얻기 위해 비적응 복원 방식보다 빠른 수렴 속도를 갖게 됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 국부적으로 제어된 완화 정도를 지닌 복원 영상을 얻을 수 있었다.

This study investigates how green infrastructure, including natural and open space such as forests, rivers, parks, and streets, could effectively counteract climate change in terms of mitigation and adaption, respectively. As a result, green infrastructure, such as forests, parks, vegetable gardens, roof gardens, pedestrian walkways, bike lanes, etc, could effectively mitigate climate change: 1) Carbon storage and sequestration; 2) Fossil fuel substitution; 3) Material substitution; 4) Food production 5) Reducing the need to travel by car. Secondly, green infrastructure, such as rivers, tree-lined streets, farmland, wetlands, dunes, wind ways, etc, could adapt to climate change: 1) Managing high temperatures; 2) Managing water supply; 3) Managing ravine flooding; 4) Managing costal flooding; 5) Managing surface water; 6) Reducing soil erosion; 7) Helping other species to adapt.

In designing the adaptive recursive filter using the MRAS hyperstable output-error identifier, the most crucial point is the design of the error-smoothing filter In this paper, it is shown that by modifyins the HARF algorithm properly, we can obtain an algorithm which requires no error-smoothing filter and has relatively high convergence rate.

In this paper, we propose a spatially adaptive image restoration algorithm using local and statistics and estimated noise. The ratio of local mean, variance, and maximum values with different window size is used to constrain the solution space, and these parameters are computed at each iteration step using partially restored image. In addition, the additive noise estimated from partially restored image and the local constraints are used to determine a parameter for controlling the degree of local smoothness on the solution. The resulting iterative algorithm exhibits increased convergence speed when compared to the non-adaptive algorithm. In addition, a smooth solution with a controlled degree of smoothness is obtained without a prior knowledge about the noise. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm requires the similar iteration number to converge, but there is the improvement of SNR more than 0.2 dB comparing to the previous approach.

In this paper, we propose a spatially adaptive image restoration algorithm using local statistics. The local mean, variance, and maximum values are utilized to constrain the solution space, and these parameters are computed at each iteration step using partially restored image. A parameter defined by the user determines the degree of local smoothness imposed on the solution. The resulting iterative algorithm exhibits increased convergence speed when compared to the non-adaptive algorithm. In addition, a smooth solution with a controlled degree of smoothness is obtained. Experimental results demonstrate the capability of the proposed algorithm.

Palliative sedation has been used in patients who undergo intractable suffering at the end of life. Its implementation, however, may be complicated due to resistance of clinicians and barrier of bioethical issues. Here, we present 50-year-old man with stomach cancer and multiple bone metastasis who was treated with palliative chemotherapy and radiotherapy. He suffered from refractory pain on the whole body even after standard analgesics and multidisplinary effort to relieve. Upon shared decision for sedation, he was given midazolam until discharge. Literature reviews reveal cases similar to the present case.

In this paper, we presents a spatially adaptive noise detection and removal algorithm. Under the assumption that an observed image and the additive noise have Gaussian distribution, the noise parameters are estimated with local statistics, and the parameters are used to define the constraints on the noise detection process, where the first order Markov Random Field (MRF) is used. In addition, an adaptive low-pass filter having a variable window sizes defined by the constraints on noise detection is used to control the degree of smoothness of the reconstructed image. Experimental results demonstrate the capability of the proposed algorithm.
