The governing differential equations for free vibration of multi-step orthotropic shear plates with variably distributed mass, stiffness and viscous damping are established. It is shown that a shear plate can be divided into two independent shear bars to determine the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the plate. The jk-th natural frequency of a shear plate is equal to the square root of the square sum of the j-th natural frequency of a shear bar and the k-th natural frequency of another shear bar. The jk-th mode shape of the shear plate is the product of the j-th mode shape of a shear bar and the k-th mode shape of another shear bar. The general solutions of the governing equations of the orthotropic shear plates with various boundary conditions are derived by selecting suitable expressions, such as power functions and exponential functions, for the distributions of stiffness and mass along the height of the plates. A numerical example demonstrates that the present methods are easy to implement and efficient. It is also shown through the numerical example that the selected expressions are suitable for describing the distributions of stiffness and mass of typical multi-storey buildings.

This paper compared the consistency of the Environment Stress(ES) model and the Potential Risk Assessment Model (PARK model, which was developed based on a Korean mariner risk perception) for the Busan adjacent waterway. Evaluation of accuracy and comparison of these two models have been made by Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) officers in the Busan VTS Centre. The assessment results of Busan waterway show that the PARK model is more consistent than the ES model as follows. (1) The difference between assessment results applying ES model and PARK model with risk degree of VTSOs were 34% and 5% respectively in six typical traffic situations. (2) The assessment using PARK model is more suitable and identical with the VTSOs opinion in his or her duty time.

A responsibility center is important for businesses in controlling their business activities. A responsibility center accounting includes a structured system for dividing responsibilities to help assess activities to improve economic efficiency for businesses. The article is based on exploratory factor analysis using the ordinary least squares to test the model of the factors affecting the application of responsibility center accounting in Vietnamese enterprises. The article uses data including 482 samples of 200 Vietnamese enterprises such as CFOs, chief accountants, and accountants. The sample was selected randomly to ensure objectivity in the period 2020-2021. The research results show that there are three factors that have a positive impact on the application of responsibility center accounting of Vietnamese enterprises, including the qualifications and capabilities of managers, decentralization in management, and evaluation tools of the responsibility center accounting. In order to contribute to improving efficiency in the application of the responsibility center accounting for Vietnamese enterprises, leaders of Vietnamese enterprises need to raise awareness and professional qualifications, pay attention to the management level in a transparent and appropriate way to delineate and diversify the tools used to facilitate and achieve business performance.

Fat embolism syndrome is a rare but alarming, life-threatening clinical condition attributed to fat emboli entering the circulation. It usually occurs as a complication of long-bone fractures and joint reconstruction surgery. Neurological manifestations usually occur 12 to 72 hours after the initial insult. These neurological complications include cerebral infarction, spinal cord ischemia, hemorrhagic stroke, seizures, and coma. Other features include an acute confusional state, autonomic dysfunction, and retinal ischemia. In this case series, we describe three patients with fat embolism syndrome who presented with atypical symptoms and signs and with unusual neuroimaging findings. Cerebral fat embolism may occur without any respiratory or dermatological signs. In these cases, diagnosis was established after excluding other differential diagnoses. Neuroimaging using brain magnetic resonance imaging is of paramount importance in establishing a diagnosis. Aggressive hemodynamic and respiratory support from the beginning and consideration of orthopedic surgical intervention within the first 24 hours after trauma are critical to decreased morbidity and mortality.

The rapid evolution of the IoT has paved the way for new opportunities in smart city domains, including e-health, smart homes, and precision agriculture. However, this proliferation of services demands effective SLAs between customers and service providers, especially for critical services. Difficulties arise in maintaining the integrity of such agreements, especially in vulnerable wireless environments. This study proposes a novel SLA management model that uses an SDN-Enabled WSN consisting of wireless nodes to interact with smart contracts in a straightforward manner. The proposed model ensures the persistence of network metrics and SLA provisions through smart contracts, eliminating the need for intermediaries to audit payment and compensation procedures. The reliability and verifiability of the data prevents doubts from the contracting parties. To meet the high-performance requirements of the blockchain in the proposed model, low-cost algorithms have been developed for implementing blockchain technology in wireless sensor networks with low-energy and low-capacity nodes. Furthermore, a cryptographic signature control code is generated by wireless nodes using the in-memory private key and the dynamic random key from the smart contract at runtime to prevent tampering with data transmitted over the network. This control code enables the verification of end-to-end data signatures. The efficient generation of dynamic keys at runtime is ensured by the flexible and high-performance infrastructure of the SDN architecture.

본 연구는 수도권 지역에 비해 상대적으로 벤처기업의 자생적 발전기반이 취약한 지방대도시의 벤처생태계 실태를 대구지역을 사례로 분석하고, 이에 대한 정책대안을 모색하고자 한다. 현재 정부는 대구를 비롯한 전국 24개 도시에 벤처기업육성촉진지구를 지정하고 벤처기업의 집적화 및 각종 지원사업을 추진하고 있음에도 불구하고 대구지역 벤처기업들은 이에 전반적으로 만족하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 지역 벤처기업들의 실수요와 촉진지구로 선정된 지역의 산업 및 제도적 특성을 반영한 사업이 아닌 단순한 물리적 환경의 조성에 정책의 초점이 맞추어진 결과이다. 벤처생태계가 제대로 성숙하기 위해서는 물리적 환경 조성 및 관련기업과 지원기관의 집적화도 중요하지만 무엇보다도 중요한 것은 벤처생태계를 구성하는 관련기업과 지원기관, 그리고 매개기관들 간의 신뢰에 기반한 협력적 네트워크 관계를 구축해야 할 것이다. 앞으로 벤처생태계가 제대로 작동할 수 있도록 하기 위해서는 지역의 제도적 주체들간의 관계구조를 명확하게 분석하고 이를 기초로 주체간의 관계구조가 지역에 뿌리내릴 수 있도록 구체적이고 현실적인 사업이 추진되어야 할 것이다.

최근 뉴어바니즘으로 기원된 압축복합도시개발, 대중교통지향개발(TOD)이 국내에서도 역시 트렌드로 자리잡고 있다. 이러한 새로운 도시개발의 패러다임은 기존의 자동차를 이용한 도시공간구조를 대중교통 중심으로 변화시키고 있다. 또한 녹색성장과 에너지절약 등의 친환경효과를 가지는 대중 교통지향형 개발은 지속가능성으로 각광받고 있다. 이렇듯 국내 대표적인 대도시 서울도 역시 대중교통을 중심으로 역세권 개발이 활성화 되고 있으나, 이에 대한 영향요인에 대한 실증연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 대도시의 광범위한 접근성을 고려하여 역세권을 기존보다 광범위하게 1km로 설정하고 토지이용 연면적, 접근성, 복합성, 도시설계요소 등의 세부지표를 요인분석을 통해 7개로 통합 및 유형화 하였다. 또한 다차원척도법을 이용하여 통합 유형화한 요인과 지하철 역세권의 연관성에 근거해 유형을 구분해본 결과 (1)'대중교통의 국지적 접근성', (2)'주변개발 수준','보행친화형 환승시설', (3)'대중교통의 광역적 접근성', (4)'중심지 토지이용용도', '역세권의 복합적 이용', '대중교통의 상호보완'과 같은 구분으로 4가지 차원으로 201개의 지하철역이 각 요인과 연관성을 나타내며 구분되었다.

Background: To investigate the association between preoperative pathological Ki-67 labeling index and serum tumor marker cancer antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3) with clinic-pathological parameters and treatment outcomes in early breast cancer. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study at 4 cancer centers in Saudi Arabia and Egypt was performed. Data were collected for female patients diagnosed with unilateral early breast cancer between March 2010 and October 2013. Cases treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by surgery and radiotherapy were included. NACT included 6-8 cycles of anthracycline and taxane based regimens. Trastuzumab and hormonal treatments were added according to HER2 and hormone receptor status. Baseline serum CA15.3 and pathological Ki67 levels were evaluated and correlated with disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Results: A total of 280 pts was included. The median age was 49 years (38-66 y) and median overall survival was 35 (20-38) months (mo). Estrogen receptors (ER), progesterone receptors (PR) and HER 2 receptors were positive in 233 (83.2%), 198 (70%) and 65 cases (23.2%), respectively. High preoperative Ki67 and CA15.3 were noted in 177 (63.2%) and 131 (46.8%). A total of 45 (16%) patients had distal or local recurrence and 24 (8.6%) died of their disease. Most of the relapsed cases had high preoperative Ki-67 (n=41, 91%) and CA15.3 (n=28, 62%) values. All of the patients who died had a high Ki-67 but CA15.3 was high in 9 (37%) only. Mean DFS/OS in patients with high preoperative Ki-67 was 32 months /32 months as compared to 37 months/35 months in those with normal Ki-67 (p<0.001). Correlation of preoperative CA15.3 and survival was statistically not significant. Conclusions:Preoperative Ki-67 can be a predictive and prognostic marker. Higher levels are associated with poor DFS and OS in patients with early BC.
