Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the regularity of block triangular fuzzy matrices. This leads to characterization of idem-potency of a class of triangular Toeplitz matrices. As an application, the existence of group inverse of a block triangular fuzzy matrix is discussed. Equivalent conditions for a regular block triangular fuzzy matrix to be expressed as a sum of regular block fuzzy matrices is derived. Further, fuzzy relational equations consistency is studied.

In this paper, block designs for control versus test comparisons among the lines for diallel crosses are proposed. These block designs are constructed by using balanced incomplete block designs. Also, the efficiencies of the diallel crosses block designs obtained through this method are tabulated for number of lines 23 or less.

Psoas compartment block has been used to provide anesthesia for orthopedic surgical procedures and postoperative pain control. Nowadays this block is advocated for the management of pain in the thighs, legs and lumbar area for various reasons. To relieve pain in the thigh and leg, 21 times of block were performed and observed clinically in the 17 patients at our hospital. The results were excellent for the relief of pain in metastatic cancer patients. And this block is satisfactory in the thigh pain but not in the leg pain. So we recommend psoas compartment block as a useful and simple method for the relief of pain in metastatic cancer pain in the thigh.

Modal expansion technique (MET) is a method to estimate the vibration fields of flexible structures by using eigenmodes of the structure and the signals of sensors. It is the useful method to estimate the vibration fields but has the truncation error since it only uses the limit number of the eigenmodes in the frequency of interest. Even though block-wise MET performed frequency block by block with different valid eigenmodes was developed, it still has the truncation error due to the absence of other eigenmodes. Thus, this paper suggested an improved block-wise modal expansion technique. The technique recovers the truncation errors in one frequency block by utilizing other eigenmodes existed in the other frequency blocks. It was applied for estimating the vibration fields of a cylindrical shell. The estimated results were compared to the vibration fields of the forced vibration analysis by using two indices: the root mean square error and parallelism between two vectors. These indices showed that the estimated vibration fields of the improved block-wise MET more accurately than those of the established METs. Especially, this method was outstanding for frequencies near the natural frequency of the highest eigenmode of each block. In other words, the suggested technique can estimate vibration fields more accurately by recovering the truncation errors of the established METs.

자유라디칼 telomerization 반응을 이용하여 스티렌-메타크릴산메틸 block 혼성중합체 (PS-b-PMMA)를 합성하였다. AIBN을 개시제로 사용하여 CCI$_4$로 스티렌을 telomerization시킨 다음 생성된 중합체의 $CCI_3$ 말단기를 macrotelogen으로 사용하여 AIBN 개시에 의해 메타크릴산 메틸을 다시 telomerization하여 스티렌-메타크릴산메틸 block 혼성중합체를 얻었다. Macrotelogen의 농도, 단위체의 농도, macrotelogen의 분자량, 반응온도 및 용매의 농도가 block 혼성중합체생성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 반응조건을 조절하여, PMMA가 약 10무게%까지 포함된 block 혼성중합체를 얻었다.

Background: Chemical lumbar sympathetic ganglion block could potentially be used to treat plantar hyperhidrosis; therefore, we analyzed the outcome of lumbar sympathetic ganglion block using alcohol for the treatment of plantar hyperhidrosis. Methods: Between March 1992 and June 2003, 356 patients with plantar hyperhidrosis underwent lumbar sympathetic ganglion block using alcohol. All 356 patients were followed up for 2 years and the results evaluated. There were 185 and 171 male and female patients, respectively, with a mean age of 25.1 years, ranging from 15.3 to 56.5 years old. Lumbar sympathetic ganglion block using alcohol was performed with fluoroscopic guidance under local anesthesia. Results: The recurrence rate after 2 years was 34%. Compensatory hyperhidrosis, ejaculation failure, lower back pain and genitofemoral neuritis developed as complications in 132, 4, 12 and 2 patients, respectively. Of the 356 patients, 65% were satisfied. Conclusions: Lumbar sympathetic ganglion block using alcohol is an effective and safe method for the treatment of plantar hyperhidrosis, but more information about the complications and relatively high recurrence rates should be provided to the patient.

We present our experience with the use of nerve block anesthesia in 212 of 484(43.8% ) surgical procedures of the foot and ankle between 1995 and 1997. Nerve block anesthesia was used for surgical procedures of the forefoot, midfoot, hindfoot, and ankle in the setting of elective surgery and trauma. From the viewpoint of the surgeon, nerve block anesthesia was completely successful in 99.5% of the procedures performed. We confirmed that 80% of patients were satisfied with the use of nerve block anesthesia for their operative procedure. There were only one(0.5%) miner complication being toxic neuritis of posterior tibial nerve. With increasing experience, the expanded indications and uses of nerve block anesthesia for foot and ankle surgery are proving to be simple, safe, reliable, and well tolerated by the patient.

In this paper, we present a new blocking artifact reduction algorithm using interpolation and signal adaptive filter (SAF) based on the edge map. Generally, block-based coding, such as JPEG and MPEG, is the most popular image compression method. However, for high compression it produces noticeable blocking and ringing artifacts in the decoded image. In proposed method, all the block is classified into low and high frequency blocks in block classification procedure. And edge map is obtained by using Sobel operator on decoded image. And according to the block property we applied blocking artifacts reduction algorithm. Namely, four neighbor low frequency block is participated in interpolation based on edge map. And ringing artifacts is removed by applying a signal adaptive filter around the edge using edge map in high frequency block. The computer simulation results confirmed a better performance by the proposed method in both the subjective and objective image qualities.

The logistics of entire shipbuilding process are integrated during the block erection process and the schedules for the erection process are made prior to. the schedules of any other processes. Therefore, efficient scheduling of the block erection process are one of most important issues in shipbuilding. There are only a few studies published regarding block erection scheduling methods because of its complexity and variability. This paper proposes an algorithm for diminution of maximum load based on constraint satisfaction technique. it is developed primarily for the efficiency in load leveling and applicability to the actual block erection process. The proposed algorithm is applied to actual block erection process and the results shows improvements in load leveling. It can also be used for the scheduling of fabrication, sub-assembly, and assembly to improve load leveling.

GNUnet은 파일의 익명성 지원을 위해 파일을 1KByte 블록코기로 분리하는 인코딩 방법, 인코딩된 블록을 비구조적 분산기법을 통해 피어들에게 분산시키는 방법, 분산된 블록을 검색하여 원본 데이터로 복구하는 방법을 제안하였다. 하지만 인코딩 및 블록 분산 방안은 약 $600\sim700MB$의 대용량 멀티미디어 파일을 처리할 경우 첫째, 추가적으로 R블럭과 I블럭을 과도하게 요구하게 되어 약 4%의 저장공간을 낭비하는 문제를 지니게 되었다. 둘째, 비구조적 브로드캐스팅 분산방에 의하여 네트워크 부하가 과도한 단점을 내포하였다. 셋째, 이용자의 데이터 검색방법에 있어 파일명을 키워드로 생성하는 방법을 제안했기 때문에 키워드 검색의 한계점이 들어났다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점 해결을 위하여 인코딩 블록의 크기를 가변적으로 결정하는 방법과 구조적 위상을 통해 블록을 분산시키는 방안 그리고 데이터 컨텐츠를 이용한 키워드 생성방안을 제안하였다. 따라서 제안 인코딩 방법은 기존 4%에 해당되는 추가 블록생성을 1% 이내로 최소화하였고, 다면체의 구조적 위상에 인코딩된 블록을 전송하기 때문에 네트워크 부하를 감소시켰다. 그리고, 데이터의 컨텐츠를 키워드로 작성한 컨텐츠 기반 키워드 추출방법을 제안하였다.
