We present a modified method for the treatment of brain abscess. The double lumen extraventricular drainage (EVD) catheter which was developed for the intracerebral hematoma management, was applied for the treatment of brain abscess drainage. We placed the double lumen EVD catheter into the abscess cavity by free-hand technique and irrigated the abscess cavity continuously with antibiotics solution for 7 days. Simultaneous intravenous antibiotics was administered for 4 weeks. The continuous irrigation with double lumen catheter was found to be safe and effective treatment modality in the brain abscess.

Some characters and construction theorems of Pseudo Jacket Matrix which is generalized from Jacket Matrix introduced by Jacket Matrices: Construction and Its Application for Fast Cooperative Wireless signal Processing[27] was announced. In this paper, we proposed some examples of Pseudo inverse Jacket matrix, such as $2{\times}4$, $3{\times}6$ non-square matrix for the MIMO channel. Furthermore we derived MIMO singular value decomposition (SVD) pseudo inverse channel and developed application to utilize SVD based on channel estimation of partitioned antenna arrays. This can be also used in MIMO channel and eigen value decomposition (EVD).

고해상도 신호처리의 기본적인 문제는, 관찰 데이터의 개수가 작고 신호 대 잡음비(SNR)가 낮아서, 푸리에 분석기법에 의해 주기신호가 분해되지 않는 경우에, 신호의 파라미터를 추정하는 것이라 할 수 있다. 주기신호의 주파수 추정 문제에서는 일반적으로 주기신호의 개수를 알고 있다고 가정하는데, 주기신호의 개수가 사전에 알려져 있지 않은 경우, 주파수 추정은 결국 주기신호의 개수결정문제가 되어, EVD나 SVD를 이용한 개수 결정방법이 활발히 연구되어 왔다. 고해상도 신호처리에서는 EVD나 SVD의 비선형 특성 상임게치 신호 대 잡음비가 존재하며 이 SNR보다 낮은 경우 심각한 왜곡현상을 보이게 되어, 주파수 추정 또는 주기신호의 개수결정에 큰 오차를 보이게 된다. 주기신호의 개수를 사전에 알고 있는 경우, 임게치 SNR를 낮추려는 노력으로는 overdetermined over-ranked structured correlation matrix의 rank reduction과 averaging을 이용한 신호 향상방법(signal enhancement)이 연구되어 왔다. 그러나 사전에 주기신호의 개수를 알아야만 하는 결점이 있고, 잡음이 백색이여야 하는 제약이 있었다. 일반적으로 환경 잡음은 유색이고, 주기신호의 개수를 사전에 모르는 경우이므로, 낮은 SNR에서의 주파수 추정문제는 유색잡음을 고려한 신호향상으로 임게치 SNR을 낮추고 주기신호의 개수를 결정한 후 주파수 추정이 이루어져야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이를 위해 광대협 유색잡음에서의 신호향상과 그 과정 중 중 주기신호의 개수를 결정하는 알고리즘ㅇ르 제시하고자 한다.

Unbonded Post-Tensioned (UPT) precast concrete systems have been shown to provide excellent seismic resistance. In order to improve understanding of the dynamic response of UPT systems, a series of snap back tests on four UPT systems was undertaken consisting of one Single Rocking Wall (SRW) and three Precast Wall with End Columns (PreWEC) systems. The snap back tests provided both a static pushover and a nonlinear free vibration response of a system. As expected the SRW exhibited an approximate bi-linear inertia force-drift response during the free vibration decay and the PreWEC walls showed an inertia force-drift response with increased strength and energy dissipation due to the addition of steel O-connectors. All walls exhibited negligible residual drifts regardless of the number of O-connectors or the post-tensioning force. When PreWEC systems of the same strength were compared the inclusion of further energy dissipating O-connectors was found to decrease the measured peak wall acceleration. Both the local and global wall parameters measured at pseudo-static and dynamic loading rates showed similar behaviour, which demonstrates that the dynamic behaviour of UPT walls is well represented by pseudo-static tests. The SRW was found to have Equivalent Viscous Damping (EVD) between 0.9-3.8% and the three PreWEC walls were found to have maximum EVD of between 14.7-25.8%.

The localization of sources has a numerous number of applications. To estimate the position of sources, the relative delay between two or more received signals for the direct signal must be determined. Although the generalized cross-correlation method is the most popular technique, an approach based on eigenvalue decomposition (EVD) is also popular one, which utilizes an eigenvector of the minimum eigenvalue. The performance of the eigenvalue decomposition (EVD) based method degrades in the low SNR and the correlated environments, because it is difficult to select a single eigenvector for the minimum eigenvalue. In this paper, we propose a new adaptive algorithm based on Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) in order to extend the operation range to the lower SNR and the correlation environments. The proposed algorithm uses the eigenvector corresponding to the maximum eigenvalue in the generalized eigenvalue decomposition (GEVD). The estimated eigenvector contains all the information that we need for time delay estimation. We have performed simulations with uncorrelated and correlated noise for several SNRs, showing that the CCA based algorithm can estimate the time delays more accurately than the adaptive EVD algorithm.

The authors present a case of multiple intracranial calcifications after the procedure of external ventricular drain placement in a 50-year-old man with pericallosal artery aneurysm. We believe that calcifications formed dust that had fallen into the track during the external ventricular drain procedure. The clinical features and radiological findings are presented with review of literature.

Jacket matrices which are defined to be $m{\times}m$ matrices $J^{\dagger}=[J_{ik}^{-1}]^T$ over a Galois field F with the property $JJ^{\dagger}=mI_m$, $J^{\dagger}$ is the transpose matrix of element-wise inverse of J, i.e., $J^{\dagger}=[J_{ik}^{-1}]^T$, were introduced by Lee in 1984 and are used for Digital Signal Processing and Coding theory. This paper presents some square matrices $A_2$ which can be eigenvalue decomposed by Jacket matrices. Specially, $A_2$ and its extension $A_3$ can be used for modifying the properties of hyperbola and hyperboloid, respectively. Specially, when the hyperbola has n times transformation, the final matrices $A_2^n$ can be easily calculated by employing the EVD[7] of matrices $A_2$. The ideas that we will develop here have applications in computer graphics and used in many important numerical algorithms.

Weak target detection and localization in the presence of loud surface ship noise is a critical problem for matched field processing (MFP) in shallow water. For stationary sources, each signal component of received signal can be separated and interference can be suppressed using eigen space analysis schemes. However, source motion, in realistic cases, causes spreading of signal energies in their subspace. In this case, eigenvalues of target and interfere signal components are mixed and hard to be separated with usual phone space eigenvector decomposition (EVD) approaches. Our technique is based on mode space and utilizes the difference in their physical characteristics of surface and submerged sources. Performing EVD for modal cross spectral density matrix, interference components in the mode amplitude subspace can be classified and eliminated. This technique is demonstrated with synthetic data, and results are discussed.

We investigated the energy levels of valence region at the planar junction of poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and C61-butyric acid methylester (PCBM) using ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS) with ultra high vacuum. These are the most widely used materials for bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells due to their high efficiency. In order to make the planar junction, we carried out the electrospray vacuum deposition (EVD) of PCBM onto spin-coated P3HT in high vacuum conditions (${\sim}10^{-5}-10^{-6}$). The planar junction interface exhibited 0.71 eV for the offset between P3HT HOMO and PCBM LUMO, which is different from the gap (0.85 eV) of individual values and is closer to the open circuit voltage of solar cells fabricated with the same material combination.

Ventriculoperitoneal [VP] shunt is a common treatment for hydrocephalic patients. However, complications, such as shunt tube occlusion, infection, intracranial hemorrhage, seizure can occur. Of these, intracranial hemorrhage may occur due to intracranial vascular injury or a rapid decrease of intracranial pressure [ICP]. Most of these hemorrhages are subdural hematomas [SDH] while a few are epidural hematomas [EDH]. It is extremely rare for an intracranial hemorrhage to occur due to an extension of the bleeding from an injured extracranial vessel. We report two cases of EDH due to occipital artery injury following VP shunt and extraventricular drainage [EVD].
