Forty-five patients with double-outlet right ventricle[DORV] underwent complete intracardiac repair between July, 1983 and June, 1989. Patients with complete atrioventricular canal, atrioventricular discordance and uni-ventricular heart were excluded. The 32 male and 13 female patients ranged in age from 3 months to 15 years[mean 4 years]. Thirty-two patients had pulmonary stenosis. The early mortality was 11.ltd[5 /45] None of 27 died after a completely intraventricular repair. The mortality was 20%[1/5] for repair using transannular patch, 20% [1/5] for REV operation, 33.3%[1/3] for repair including extracardiac valved conduit, and 50% [1/2] for Jatene operation, respectively. Two modified Fontan procedures were performed without mortality. One died after Senning operation. Causes of early deaths included high residual right ventricular pressure[one patient] small left atrial and left ventricular volume[one patient], persisting severe pulmonary hypertension [one patient] and low cardiac output of unknown cause [two patients]. Complete heart block developed in one patient. Two late deaths occurred among the 40 operative survivors [5.0Po] from persisting severe pulmonary hypertension and bleeding at reoperation. Our results indicate that significant defects can be repaired with low mortality and morbidity.

Objective: This study is concerned with the user interface (UI) design of touch screen based on the reaction time of Automated Teller Machine (ATM) user. Background: Adopting the touch screen technology, the ATM service has recently established a new user interface different from the existing button-type interface. Method: Experiments were conducted by simulating ATM touch screen layouts, and layouts were focused on location of menu buttons (left and right, top and bottom), number of menu buttons (8 and 12 buttons). Results: The results show that there are significant differences in correction ratio and reaction time by user groups, types of menu location, and the number of buttons. Conclusion and Applications: The results of this study can be used to provide baseline information for the interface design of ATM touch screen and the age differences in reaction time.

Thc CCD earth image experiment(CEIE) is one of the main payload of the KITSAT-1. Since it was launched on Age. 11, 1992, the CEIE has taken more than 500 images on the earth surface world-wide so far. An image from the space is very different from a feature on the real Earth surface due to various radiometric and geometric distortions. Preprocessing to remove those distortions has to take place before the image data are processed and analyzed further for various applications. This paper summarizes the result of the operation of the CEIE and describes the procedure to perform preprocessing including radiometric and geometric correction.

Living in the age of information people face problems related to information overload. Information is easy to produce, store and distribute through various communication channels, one of which is emails. With the appearance of the mobile devices, such as smart phones and tabs, people can have access to email inbox at any moment of time from everywhere. In this paper we present information extraction system with a specific goal of extracting meeting location from the announcement of seminar or conference. We apply a machine learning method (conditional random fields, CRF), train the system using annotated corpus of seminar and conference announcements and validate results by applying various extracted correction rules and patterns. Furthermore, we normalize extracted location, and reference using geo-coding databases, OpenStreetMap and Wikipedia resources to determine real geographical coordinates.

The main disadvantages of destructive testing methods are the delay in obtaining test results, the relatively high cost of testing, and the lack of reproducibility in the test results. As a result, nondestructive testing methods are generally used. There are three objectives in this paper. The first is to determine the equations of the compressive strength of concrete estimated by Schmidt hammer technique, ultrasonic pulse velocity method and combined method respectively in laboratory. The second is to determine the correction factors according to the concrete age which affects most in evaluating the compressive strength of in-situ concrete. The third is to examine the applicability of the equations to evaluation of the compressive strength of in-situ concrete structures.

The Power measurement that can measure a single quantity does not smooth to install a system, and are not convenient to use. These measuring values are vary difficult for mutual operation and analyzing, and that have too many problems to compile measured databases. If each single measured values are mutual assist, correction and reform, the system will be able to be improved by minimizing differences between measure quantities and as making many different measurement system (Voltage, Current, Power and Resistor) is installed in one system. This study is useful to develope the power measurement system that is easier to analyze and management by database all of the parameter values because the power measurement system is able to be interbased with PC as requirement of industralization and information age.

Considering that the aged population increases and the mobility problem is pointed out as a factor that indisposes the quality of life, cognition, and mood, it is important to understand and evaluate the elderly's mobility. Factors that deteriorate mobility in the elderly include physical senility, various health changes including chronic diseases, polypharmacy as well as anticholinergics. Common mobility problems in old age are reduced gait speed, increased gait variability in walking length, careless walking, and frequent falls. Several studies have reported that decreased mobility and deterioration of gait can predict cognitive decline and emotional problems. Aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, and balance exercise are suggested as therapeutic interventions for mobility problems. Active correction for factors that reduce mobility in the elderly and prescribing physical activity can conserve the elderly's quality of life and help improve cognition and mood. There is a need for related research in the future.

Neo-aortic insufficiency associated with root enlargement following an arterial switch operation is a serious late complication. To achieve successful surgical correction of this condition, multiple factors should be considered, including the individual patient's anatomy, the challenging nature of the redo procedure, and the patient's young age. However, limited publications have described the use of valve-sparing techniques for the treatment of neo-aortic insufficiency associated with root enlargement following an arterial switch operation. Herein, we report our recent experience of a valve-sparing aortic root procedure with ascending aorta and hemiarch replacement despite the presence of a discrepancy in leaflet size and nearby severe adhesions.

Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PAIVS) is a rare congenital heart disease that often needs a critical decision on whether to open the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). Significant morbidity and considerable mortality might preclude the safe use of percutaneous or surgical right ventricular decompression in patients with muscular PAIVS. We report the case of a 21-day-old neonate weighing less than 3 kg who underwent hybrid RVOT stent insertion as initial palliation for muscular PAIVS and subsequent anatomical correction at 5 months of age, with 6 years of follow-up.

Patients over 15 years of age who have undergone a surgical correction of congenital heart disease at Kyungpook University Hospital during the period of January 1990 through October 1994 have been reviewed . One hundred forty three, 22.4 % of 628 operations, which have repaired congenital heart diseases during this period were adult patients. There were 23 patients under 20 years of age, 58 between 20∼29 years, 34 between 30∼39 years, 18 between 40∼49 years, and 10 between 50∼59 years. The most common defects were atrial septal defects which accounted for 73 cases (51.1 %) and other common anomalies were ven- tricular septal defects (57 cases, 39.9 %), tetralogy of Falloffs(4 cases, 2.8%) in order of incidence. There were 10 non-fatal operative complications (6.9 %) but there was no operative mortality. This study shows the incidence of operable congenital heart diseases in adults and the fact that it could be corrected surgically with low mortality and morbidity.
