Apgar score is most widely used evaluating indicator of newborn health, but it is very Subjective. Umbilical cord blood gas analysis is more objective and effective than Apgar score in evaluation of newborn status. Cord blood gas was changed slightly by processing of time after fetal birth. This study was undertaken to observe objectiveness and effectiveness of umbilical arterial blood gas analysis and effects of time interval of cord clamping to newborn health with 122 pregnant women and their babies. We observed following results : 1. There were poor correlation between Apgar score and umbilical cord arterial blood analysis in evaluating of newborn health (P>0.05). 2. There was no clinical significance of Apgar score or umbilical arterial blood gas analysis as single indicator in evaluating of newborn health (P>0.05). 3. Gas analysis and pH of umbilical arterial blood was more helpful in evaluating of newborn health than Apgasr score. 4. There were no significant effects of time interval of umbilical cord clamping to newborn health. 5. If there were no indications of early umbilical cord clamping, cord blood sampling at immediately after birth without cord clamping was more effective to evaluate newborn status.

The purpose of seismic design is to ensure the serviceability of buildings against earthquake, which might be occurred during the service life of buildings, and to minimize the loss of life by preventing their failure under strong earthquake. The lack resistance of walls resulting from a tendency toward high-rise apartment buildings with shear walls and use of piloti would lead to a concentration of inelastic behaviors in their weak story. In this study, the seismic performance of reinforced concrete shear wall buildings haying piloti was analyzed by using the evaluation techniques which was proposed by FEMA 273 and ATC-40. The results from comparison with these two techniques are summarized as follows.; The results of elastic analysis method for seismic performance evaluation show that the effect of piloti and building height decrease performance index. In case of shear wall building, the state of insufficient shear stress governs their overall performance and it becomes evident in the case of the buildings with more than 25 stories. For the buildings of piloti, the change of mass, weak story, as well as insufficient shear stress, decrease the performance index rapidly compared with the performance index of the buildings without piloti. The results, obtained from the nonlinear static analysis using capacity spectrum method, indicate that the performance Point increases for the structure having Piloti and high story. Also, deformation limits of buildings satisfy the allowable criteria at the life safety level, but the immediate occupancy level is exceeded in buildings which have more than 25 stories.

Video on Demand(VOD) services cause high resource consumption in a video seuer, because multimedia are characterized by continuous playback, a high bandwidth requirement, and long playback duration. Patching has been proposed to save the network I/O bandwidth of a video server. To achieve true VOD, patching uses multicasting to share video streams, thereby providing immediate VOD services to users without any service latency. A communication channel is used to either multicast the entire video as a regular channel or multicast only the leading portion of a video as a Patching channel. This paper Proposes a buffering patching technique that divides regular channels, as used in patching, into sub-regular channels and regular channels to shorten the holding time of the channels. In the proposed technique, the last portion of video data, corresponding to the size of the buffering window, is not transferred by sub-regular channels, but rather downloaded and buffered in the user buffer from the latest regular channel. When simulations were performed to compare the performance of the proposed technique with that of conventional patching, the results indicated that the proposed technique was superior in terms of the defection rate, average service latency, and fairness, although the amount of video data buffered at each user station was higher than that with patching.

Reducing power consumption to extend network lifetime is one of the most important challenges in designing wireless sensor networks. One promising approach to conserving system energy is to keep only a minimal number of sensors active and put others into low-powered sleep mode, while the active sensors can maintain a connected covet set for the target area. The problem of computing such minimum working sensor set is NP-hard. In this paper, a centralized Voronoi tessellation (CVT) based approximate algorithm is proposed to construct the near optimal cover set. When sensor's communication radius is at least twice of its sensing radius, the covet set is connected at the same time; In case of sensor's communication radius is smaller than twice of its sensing radius, a connection scheme is proposed to calculate the assistant nodes needed for constructing the connectivity of the cover set. Finally, the performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated through theoretical analysis and extensive numerical experiments. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the greedy algorithm in terms of the runtime and the size of the constructed connected cover set.

Since 2009, stars produced through audition programs have appeared through the process of establishing familiar ties with viewers, unlike stars created by entertainment agencies. This study is a case study that examines the characteristics, roles, and identity of internet live broadcasts (Labang) of vocalists Kang Dong-hoon and his fan cafe(fan community) who appeared in JTBC Phantom Singer 3 in 2020. As a result of the study, fans gathered around SNS even before the fan cafe was created, at their request, 'Labang' began. "Labang" is a "freely participating talk show" in which fans actively participate. This brought about the bond of fans, a sense of belonging, and the activation of fandom. Both stars and fans recognized "Live Broadcast" as "a window of communication to get to know each other," and expressed satisfaction that they could see the sincerity of familiar and unpretentious stars, not unrealistic images reproduced on TV through "immediate comment communication." "Labang" consists of a variety of contents, including stars' daily lives, music activities, broadcast appearances, and hobbies, and is showing "aesthetic differentiation" from those who do not watch "Labang" while sharing the daily lives of stars and fans with active participation.

탁수는 유기물 또는 무기물이 유입되면서 빛의 투과성이 낮아진 수체를 의미한다. 탁수가 발생하게 되면 어류의 폐사, 정수처리 비용의 증가 및 경관의 변화로 인한 피해가 발생하게 된다. 국내에서는 홍수기 또는 태풍 시 유역의 토사가 저수지 상류에서 유입하여 호내의 탁수를 발생시키는 경우가 있는데, 특히 낙동강 유역의 임하호에서 빈번하게 고탁수가 발생하여 왔다. 본 연구에서는 임하호에서 탁수 발생 시 신속 배제를 위한 수치적인 예측 시스템을 소개하고자 한다. 저수지 탁수관리의 기본개념은 용수공급능력을 고려한 고탁수의 신속한 배제이다. 이는 선제적 의사결정을 요구하므로, 지류에서 탁수가 발생한 즉시 향후 상황에 대한 예측이 필요하다. 이러한 예측을 위해 유역관리처는 3단계의 수치해석을 수행한다. 첫 번째는 유역 상류에서 탁수가 감지되었을 때, 호 내 탁수의 분포를 예측하는 것이다. 수심 및 수평방향의 탁수 분포에 대한 상세한 결과가 도출되어야 하기에, 3차원 수치해석 프로그램인 AEM3D를 이용한다. 이때, 과거 고탁수 유입에 대한 자료를 기반으로 산정된 매개변수가 적용된다. 두 번째는 예측된 호내 분포를 초기조건으로 댐 방류량 및 취수탑 위치(선택배제)에 따른 탁수 배제 수치해석을 수행하게 된다. 다양하고 많은 case에 대한 신속한 모의 및 3달 이상의 장기간 예측을 요구하므로, 2차원 수치모델인 CE-QUAL-W2를 활용한다. 이 단계에서 수자원의 안정적 공급이 가능한 범위 내에서 효과적인 탁수 배제 방류 방법 등이 결정되며, 방류 탁도가 예측된다. 세 번째 단계는 방류탁도를 경계조건으로 하여 하류 하천(반변천~내성천 합류 전)의 탁도를 예측하는 것이다. 하천의 탁도 예측은 국내뿐만 아니라 국외에서도 그 사례를 찾아보기가 쉽지 않은데, 이는 중소형의 지류에 대한 입력자료가 충분하지 않고 불확실성이 높기 때문이다. 이에 과거 10여 년의 data를 이용한 회귀분석을 통해 탁수 발생물질(SS)-부유사-유량과의 관계를 도출하고, 2차원 하천모델(EFDC)을 이용하여 수심 평균 탁도를 예측하게 된다. 이러한 세 단계의 예측은 탁수가 호내로 유입됨에 따라 반복되고, 점차 예측 정확도가 향상되게 된다. 세 단계의 과정을 통한 임하호 탁수의 조기 배제는 현재 적지 않은 효과를 거두고 있다고 판단된다. 그러나 탁수를 발생시키는 현탁물질의 종류는 매번 일정하지 않기 때문에, 이러한 예측 시스템에 정확도에 영향을 줄 수 있으므로, 여러 상황을 고려한 딥러닝을 도입하여 탁수 물질에 대한 정보를 예측한다면 보다 합리적인 의사결정 지원 도구가 될 수 있을 것이다.

This paper introduces ONLIS(Overlay Multicast Network for Live IPTV Service), a novel overlay multicast network optimized to deliver live broadcast IPTV stream. We analyzed IPTV reference model of ITU-T IPTV standardization group in terms of network and stream delivery from the source networks to the customer networks. Based on the analysis, we divide IPTV reference model into 3 networks; source network, core network and access network, ION(Infrastructure-based Overlay Multicast Network) is employed for the source and core networks and PON(P2P-based Overlay Multicast Network) is applied to the access networks. ION provides an efficient, reliable and stable stream distribution with very negligible delay while PON provides bandwidth efficient and cost effective streaming with a little tolerable delay. The most important challenge in live P2P streaming is to reduce end-to-end delay without sacrificing stream quality. Actually, there is always a trade-off between delay & stream quality in conventional live P2P streaming system. To solve this problem, we propose two approaches. Firstly, we propose DSPT(Distributed Streaming P2P Tree) which takes advantage of combinational overlay multicasting. In DSPT, a peer doesn't fully rely on SP(Supplying Peer) to get the live stream, but it cooperates with its local ANR(Access Network Relay) to reduce delay and improve stream quality. When RP detects bandwidth drop in SP, it immediately switches the connection from SP to ANR and continues to receive stream without any packet loss. DSPT uses distributed P2P streaming technique to let the peer share the stream to the extent of its available bandwidth. This means, if RP can't receive the whole stream from SP due to lack of SP's uploading bandwidth, then it receives only partial stream from SP and the rest from the ANR. The proposed distributed P2P streaming improves P2P networking efficiency.

The purpose of this study is to examine the mobile phone service usage patterns of Korean teenagers and their motivation to use it, and to explore the relationships between the teenagers' social-psychological characteristics and their trails of mobile phone usage. After reviewing prior theoretical studios, three hypotheses regarding the research questions shown above were generated. Questionnaire study was conducted with 400 high school students in Busan and Ulsan metropolitan areas. They were to answer three categories of questions, such as frequencies of voice calls and text messaging services and the other mobile services, questions asking their social-psychological characteristics, and their motivations for using mobile phone services. Findings show that the teenagers more likely to tend to use voice calls when communicating family members. They tend to avoid those services with high rate of use as multimedia, game, and broadcasting services via mobile phones. The teenagers use mobile phone services for the similar purposes to conventional telephone uses. Therefore, the classical theories showing the alternative purposes or motivations to use conventional telephone usage, which divided the main purposes for phone uses in to two; work/instrumental and socializing/entertaining, proved to be reasonable. The cheap messaging services with texts are popular among the teenagers and are used for socializing/entertaining purposes rather than instrumental/functional purposes. In addition, the teenagers' social-psychological characteristicss are significantly associated with the amount of mobile phone uses. A characteristic of "individual-centeredness" is positively related with non-voice service uses, while "group-centeredness" explains heavy amount of using voice calls and text messaging services. Such characteristics as "immediacy," "directness," "innovativeness," and "other-direction" are positively associated with the frequencies and amounts of mobile phone uses, while "inner-direction" and "tradition-direction" are negatively correlated.

We analysed the surgical outcomes of immediate reoperations after mitral valve repair. Material and Method: Eighteen patients who underwent immediate reoperation for failed mitral valve repair from April 1995 through July 2001 were reviewed retrospectively. There were 13 female patients. The mitral valve disease was regurgitation (MR) in 12 patients, stenosis (MS) in 3, and mixed lesion in 3. The etiologies of the valve disease were rheumatic in 9 patients, degenerative in 8, and endocarditis in 1. The causes of reoperation was residual MR in 13 patients, residual MS in 4, and rupture of left ventricle in 1. Fourteen patients had rerepair for residual mitral lesions (77.8%) and four underwent replacement. Result: There was no early death. After mean follow-vp of 33 months, there was one late death. Echocardiography revealed no or grade 1 of MR (64.3%) in 9 patients and no or mild MS in 11 patients (78,6%). Reoperation was done in one patient. The cumulative survival and freedom from valve-related reoperation at 6 years were 94% and 90%, respectively. The cumulative freedom from recurrent MR and MS at 4 years were 56% and 44%, respectively. Conclusion: This study suggests that immediate reoperation for failed mitral valve repair offers good early and intermediate survival, and mitral valve rerepair can be successfully performed in most of patients. However, because mitral rerepair have high failure rate, especially in rheumatic valve disease, adequate selections of valvuloplasty technique and indication are important to reduce the failure rate of mitral rerepair.
