Objectives : This study was conducted to examine the clinical effects of thread embedding acupuncture on lumbar herniated intervertebral disc patients. Methods : This is a retrospective study based on clinical charts. Despite the treatments of acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, herbal medicine, and physical therapy during admission period, 10 lumbar herniated intervertebral disc patients who had shown few improvements in their symptoms were selected as subjects. Thread embedding acupuncture was conducted to reduce patient pain. Patient progress was categorized into three periods based on when the embedding procedure performed. Verbal numeric rating scale (VNRS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), and a 5 step evaluation scale for satisfaction were used to analyze the outcome. Results : Regarding comparison of VNRS improvement rate, both 3 and 6 days after embedding progress showed significant difference compared to before embedding progress. ODI improvement rate showed significant difference only 6 days after embedding progress. Patients' satisfaction with treatment had increased by several degrees. Conclusion : Thread embedding acupuncture for lumbar herniated intervertebral disc patients may be effective in reducing pain and improving their quality of life.

무손실 정보은닉은 정보를 삽입하되 추출과정에서 원본 영상으로의 완벽한 복원이 가능하도록 정보를 삽입하는 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 웨이블릿 영역에서 영상에 대한 무손실 정보은닉 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 히스토그램 수정을 웨이블릿 계수에 적용한 방법으로 두 단계의 삽입과정으로 이루어진다. 1차 삽입과정에서 히스토그램을 수정함으로써 웨이블릿 계수에 정보를 은닉한다. 2차 삽입과정은 1차 삽입 과정에서 발생한 영상의 왜곡을 줄이는 동시에 정보를 은닉할 수 있는 방법으로 높은 삽입용량을 얻을 수 있게 한다. 제안 알고리즘은 모의실험을 통해 기존의 방법들보다 삽입용량 대 PSNR 측면에 서 향상된 성능을 보여주었다.

Objectives : This study was to investigate the effectiveness of thread-embedding therapy for the treatment of acute phase of Bell's palsy. Methods : Thread-embedding therapy was performed once a week on 29 patients within 1 weeks after the onset. We investigated the general characters, Yanagihara's score, House-Brackmann scale and FDI were used to evaluate the effectiveness of thread-embedding therapy. Results : Facial muscle recovery began at 13.37th day, that was about 0.36 day earlier than the previous patients who were treated without thread-embedding therapy in 2017 at the same hospital, but there was no statistical significance. In the change of each scale before and after treatment, Yanagihara's score, House-Brackmann scale, physical function and social function of FDI were changed significantly. Compared with the patients treated without thread-embedding therapy in 2017, Yanagihara's score was a little higher and House-Brackmann scale was a little lower. Conclusions : These findings suggested that thread-embedding therapy on acute phase of Bell's palsy was a little more effective than the conventional therapy without thread-embedding therapy.

The applicability and productivity of hydroforming process can be increased by combining pre- and post-forming processes such as the bending, piercing and embedding process. For the fabrication of automotive parts, the hollow bodies with connecting nuts are widely used to connect parts together. Hollow body with connecting nuts has been conventionally fabricated by welding nuts or screwing in autobody screws. It requires multiple steps and devices fur the welding and/or screwing Therefore in this study, hydro-embedding process that combines the hydraulic embedding of connecting element(nut) with hydroforming process is investigated. Studies on the hydro-embedding technology have been performed to optimize the shape of the connecting element by analyzing the deformed mode of the embedded tube The effects of the shape of the screw tip, screw thread and shape of thread on the connection force between the tube and the connecting element have been investigated to optimize the shape of connecting element. Finite element analysis has also been performed to provide deformation behaviors of the tube surrounding a hole produced by hydro-embedding.

Objective : Thread embedding acupuncture has become popular as a minimally invasive treatment for facial wrinkles and laxity. However, there is little published clinical practice guidelines. This study is to developing a specific procedure of thread embedding acupuncture for facial wrinkles and laxity. Method : We reviewed and summarized 6 studies on thread embedding acupuncture for facial wrinkles and laxity. And, four practitioners who have more than four year of clinical experience and one hundred of cases were participated in developing a thread embedding acupuncture procedure for facial wrinkles and laxity. Result and conclusion : We developed a thread embedding acupuncture procedure for facial wrinkles and laxity which consists of correction of lower jaw, facial laxity, nasolabial fold and eye wrinkles.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of needle-embedding therapy to facial paralysis patient after acoustic neuroma surgery. The patient was treated by basic oriental medicine treatment. We evaluated the effect of Needle-Embedding Therapy by using Yanagihara's unweighted grading system and subjective satisfaction score. The final Yanagihara's score was higher than before the treatment. The patient was satisfied after Needle-Embedding Therapy. Needle-Embedding Therapy was effective against facial paralysis after acoustic neuroma surgery. Further studies will be required to identify the beneficial effect of Needle-Embedding Therapy in facial paralysis after acoustic neuroma surgery.

리버서블 워터마킹은 디지털 영상에 정보를 은닉하고 인증된 상대에게만 은닉된 정보를 복호화하고 원래의 상태로 영상을 복구하는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 히스토그램 이동을 이용한 고용량 리버서블 워터마킹을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 높은 삽입량을 위하여 영상을 $2{\times}2$ 블록으로 분할하고, 각 블록에 수평, 수직, 대각에 대한 화소쌍을 이용하여 가장 빈도가 높은 최대 삽입공간을 찾는다. 최대 삽입공간을 포함하는 위치맵을 이용하여 오버플로우와 언더플로우를 제거하여, 반복적인 워터마크 삽입을 통해 삽입량을 증가시킨다. 실험을 통하여 제안한 방법이 기존의 리버서블 워터마킹 방법과 비교하여 좋은 화질과 높은 삽입량을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to report the clinical effects of needle-embedding acupuncture therapy combined with Korean medicine on a lumbar herniated intervertebral disc. Methods : We treated one patient with a lumbar herniated intervertebral disc with needle-embedding acupuncture therapy combined with Korean medical treatment. We checked the numeric rating scale(NRS), oswestry low back pain disability index(ODI) and straight leg raising test(SLRT). Results : In this case, the numeric rating scale decreased, while the straight leg raising test results improved. Conclusion : Needle-embedding acupuncture therapy could be effective for pain-reduction for a lumbar herniated intervertebral disc.

Software-defined networking (SDN) has emerged as a promising technology for network programmability and experiments. In this work, we focus on virtual network embedding in multiple controllers SDN network. In SDN virtualization environment, virtual SDN networks (vSDNs) operate on the shared substrate network and managed by their each controller, the placement and load of controllers affect vSDN embedding process. We consider controller placement, vSDN embedding, controller adjustment as a joint problem, together considering different quality of service (QoS) requirement for users, formulate the problem into mathematical models to minimize the average time delay of control paths, the load imbalance degree of controllers and embedding cost. We propose a heuristic method which places controllers and partitions control domains according to substrate SDN network, embeds different QoS constraint vSDN requests by corresponding algorithms, and migrates switches between control domains to realize load balance of controllers. The simulation results show that the proposed method can satisfy different QoS requirement of tenants, keep load balance between controllers, and work well in the acceptance ratio and revenue to cost ratio for vSDN embedding.

본 논문에서는 완전이진트리의 3차원 메쉬로의 임베딩 문제를 다룬다. 링크 충돌을 2까지 허용하면서 최적크기의 메쉬에 임베딩하는 방법은 [1]에서 다루고 있으며, [2]에서는 최적크기의 1.27배의 메쉬로 임베딩하는 방법을 보여주고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 임베딩 방법은 순위차원 라우팅을 사용하며 링크 충돌이 없는 방법으로, 약 1.125배의 최적확장을 넘지 않는다. 이 임베딩 방법은 링크의 충돌 혹은, 임베딩의 확장을 최소화한다는 기준에서 볼 때 기존의 임베딩 방법에 비해 향상된 결과이다.
