Background: Although various methods are already used to calculate predicted postoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV₁) based on preoperative FEV₁ in lung surgery, the predicted postoperative FEV₁ is not always the same as the actual postoperative FEV₁. Observed postoperative FEV₁ values are usually the same or higher than the predicted postoperative FEV₁. To overcome this issue, we investigated the relationship between the number of resected lung segments and the discordance of preoperative and postoperative FEV₁ values. Methods: From September 2014 to May 2020, the data of all patients who underwent anatomical lung resection by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) were gathered and analyzed retrospectively. We investigated the association between the number of resected segments and the differential FEV₁ (a measure of the discrepancy between the predicted and observed postoperative FEV₁) using the t-test and linear regression. Results: Information on 238 patients who underwent VATS anatomical lung resection at Kyung Hee University Hospital at Gangdong and by DH. Kim for benign and malignant disease was collected. After applying the exclusion criteria, 114 patients were included in the final analysis. In the multiple linear regression model, the number of resected segments showed a positive correlation with the differential FEV₁ (Pearson r=0.384, p<0.001). After adjusting for multiple covariates, the differential FEV₁ increased by 0.048 (95% confidence interval, 0.023-0.073) with an increasing number of resected lung segments (R²=0.271, p<0.001). Conclusion: In this study, after pulmonary resection, the number of resected segments showed a positive correlation with the differential FEV₁.

The stochastic optimal control for a piezoelectric spherically symmetric shell subjected to stochastic boundary perturbations is constructed, analyzed and evaluated. The stochastic optimal control problem on the boundary stress output reduction of the piezoelectric shell subjected to stochastic boundary displacement perturbations is presented. The electric potential integral as a function of displacement is obtained to convert the differential equations for the piezoelectric shell with electrical and mechanical coupling into the equation only for displacement. The displacement transformation is constructed to convert the stochastic boundary conditions into homogeneous ones, and the transformed displacement is expanded in space to convert further the partial differential equation for displacement into ordinary differential equations by using the Galerkin method. Then the stochastic optimal control problem of the piezoelectric shell in partial differential equations is transformed into that of the multi-degree-of-freedom system. The optimal control law for electric potential is determined according to the stochastic dynamical programming principle. The frequency-response function matrix, power spectral density matrix and correlation function matrix of the controlled system response are derived based on the theory of random vibration. The expressions of mean-square stress, displacement and electric potential of the controlled piezoelectric shell are finally obtained to evaluate the control effectiveness. Numerical results are given to illustrate the high relative reduction in the root-mean-square boundary stress of the piezoelectric shell subjected to stochastic boundary displacement perturbations by the optimal electric potential control.

Optical remote sensing techniques are particularly advantageous over the conventional fixed point methods because with these methods large-area monitoring can be possible and sample preparation difficulties are avoidable. Instruments based on the differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) technique are widely used for monitoring air pollutants in urban areas in recent years. In this study, $O_3$, SO$_2$, NO$_2$, and VOCs (benzene, toluene, xylene, and styrene) are measured continuously at Sihwa industrial area using a DOAS from February to November. 1999. Intercomparison between the DOAS method and the conventional methods (filed point samplers for $O_3$, NO$_2$, and SO$_2$, and adsorbent sampling methods and gas chromatography for VOCs) are performed simultaneously at the same site. The time series of the DOAS data and that of fixed point method show good match at the view point of the tendency, but the absolute concentration values of these two methods differ quite a lot from each other; correlation coefficients shows 0.78 for $O_3$and 0.97 for SO$_2$. However, the results of VOCs measurements are not quite satisfactory ; the spectral interference with $O_2$and $O_3$appears to be the major cause of the errors for VOCs .

코드워드의 인자로 M진 위상 편이 방식(M-ary phase shift keying, M-PSK)를 사용하는 차분 코드북은 Long term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) 그리고 WiMax 시스템 등에 제안된다. 인접하는 무선 채널의 시간 상관 특성에 의해 연속된 선부호화 행렬 내 양자화된 채널 정보는 천천히 변화된다. 이는 전체 무선 채널 공간을 양자화 하지 않고, 시간 상관 특성에 따른 채널 공간 내 일부분만을 양자화하여 피드백하기 때문에 기존과 동일한 크기의 코드북을 구성해도 가상적으로 보다 정확한 채널정보를 양자화할 수 있어 채널 용량이 증가하는 효과를 갖는다. 제안하는 코드북은 constant modulus, complexity reduction, 그리고 nested property와 같은 LTE release-8 코드북 특성을 갖는다. 또한 동 이즉 전송 특성을 갖기 때문에 상대적으로 저렴한 비선형 증폭기를 사용할 수 있어 가격의 제한을 받는 단말기 설계에도 이점을 갖는다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 차분 동 이득 전송 기술은 동일한 피드백 비트 수를 갖는 기존의 LTE-8 코드북보다 향상된 성능을 보인다.

수집신호의 통계적 특성을 기반으로 하는 차분전력분석 (Differential Power Analysis, DPA) 방법은 암호시스템의 키를 해독하는 데 아주 효과적인 방법으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 이 방법은 수집신호의 시간적인 동기와 잡음에 따라 공격 성능에 상당한 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 DPA에서 시간적인 동기와 잡음에 의한 영향을 동시에 효과적으로 극복하는 웨이블릿(Wavelet) 기반의 신호처리 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법의 성능은 DES 연산중인 마이크로 컨트롤러 칩의 전력소비 신호를 이용해서 측정한다. 실험을 통해 제안된 웨이블릿 기반의 전처리 시스템의 성능은 키 해독에 필요한 필요 평문의 수가 기존의 방법들이 필요로 하는 25%의 평문의 수로도 충분함을 보여주고 있다.

This study aimed to maximize the potential of fluorescence 3D excitation-emission matrix (EEM) for predicting the trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP) of DOM with various sources. Fluorescence spectroscopy is a useful tool for characterizing dissolved organic matter (DOM). In this study, differential spectroscopy was applied to EEM for the prediction of THMFP, in which the difference between the EEM before and after chlorination was taken into account to obtain the differential EEM (DEEM). For characterization of the original EEM or the DEEM, the maximum intensities of several different fluorescence regions in EEM, fluorescence EEM regional integration (FRI), and humification index (HIX) were calculated and used for the surrogates for THMFP prediction. After chlorination, the fluorescence intensity decreased by 77% to 93%. In leaf-derived and effluent DOM, there was a significant decrease in the protein-like peak, while a more pronounced decrease was observed in the humic-like peak of river DOM. In general, leaf-derived and effluent DOM exhibited a relatively lower THMFP than the river DOM. Our results were consistent with the high correlations between humic-like fluorescence and THMFP previously reported. In this study, HIX (r= 0.815, p<0.001), FRI region V (r=0.727, p<0.001), humic-like peak (r= 0.827, p<0.001) from DEEM presented very high correlations with THMF P. When the humic-like peak intensity was converted to a logarithmic scale, a higher correlation was obtained (r= 0.928, p<0.001). This finding suggests that the humic-like peak in DEEM can serve as a universal predictor for THM formation of DOM with various origins.

In this paper we analyze the effect of nonlinear gain on laser modulation characteristics applying a small-signal analysis to the rate equation which includes a nonlinear gain term. Also we analyze the resonance frequency and the damping factor which determine laser modulation characteristics, define K factor which is the proportionality factor between resonance frequency and damping factor, and conclude that the decrease in K factor is due to increases in differential gain and no correlation between K factor and nonlinear gain is identified.

In this study, microstructure and gel content (C-C) of polybutadiene rubber (PBR) were investigated using various techniques including ASTM D 3616, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (ATR FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The ATR FTIR spectra of the samples were investigated to determine the cis, trans, 1, 2-vinyl and the C-C gel content in PBR. The absorbance ratios of specific peaks in different grades of PBR were correlated with the C-C gel content measured by the ATR FTIR techniques. Physico-mechanical and rheological properties of rubber compounds based on BR with various amounts of gel were determined. The results showed that there is an acceptable correlation between these properties and the C-C gel content of PBR.
