CCN utilizes MHT-based content authentication scheme. Some schemes propose improved MHT scheme to solve the inefficiency of the MHT-based content authentication scheme which is caused by repetitive hash value computation and witness transmission. For using MHT, it is essentially needed to minimize the possibility of error-occurrence as well as to improve the efficiency of the authentication scheme. This paper describes the improved MHT scheme is error-prone. Also, it analyzes the effect of a segment authentication error, especially, the degree of error propagation.

In this paper, we developed a method for predicting the tracking performance of the multiple hypothesis tracking (MHT) algorithm. The MHT algerithm is known to be a measurement-oriented optimal Bayesian approach and is superior to any other tracking filters because it takes into account the events that the measurements can be originated from new targets and false alarms as well as interesting targets. In the MHT algorithm, a number of candidate hypotheses are generated and evaluated later as more data are received. The probability of each candidate hypotheses is approximately evaluated by using the hybrid conditional average approach (HYCA). We performed numerical experiments to show the validity of our performance prediction.

Helianthus tuberosus Linne (Compositae) has been widely used as a folk remedy to treat various ailments including fever, bleeding, fracture and contusion. This study was designed to elucidate the lifespan extending activities MeOH extract of the tubers of Helianthus tuberosus Linne (MHT) using Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) model system. In the current study, we found that the lifespan of worms was significantly extended by MHT supplement, dose-dependently. MHT also provided robust protection against various stress environments such as osmotic, thermal and oxidative condition. In addition, elevated antioxidant enzyme activities by MHT resulted in attenuation of intracellular reactive oxygen spices (ROS) levels, suggesting antioxidant capacity of MHT might be associated with longevity properties. Herein, we showed that altered food intake and growth of worms were also involved in the MHT activity. Furthermore, MHT increased body movement in aged worms, indicating possible role for MHT in healthspan.

The efficacy of a medicinal herb tea (MHT) for assisting smoking cessation and for reducing withdrawal symptoms was evaluated by a placebo controlled subjective test in 100 male smokers. The MHT group experienced less craving for the taste of tobacco, and was more successful at quitting smoking. Among the subjects continuing to the final stage, 23 subjects (38.3 %) who took the MHT and 2 subjects (10.0 %) who took the placebo tea succeeded in quitting smoking. In the group taking MHT, urinary cotinine concentration increased during the first 2 weeks and then greatly decreased from weeks 2 to 4. The urinary cotinine concentration in the MHT group at week 0 was 38.6 mol/L but decreased to 24.5 mol/L by the end of week 4. MHT also reduced withdrawal symptoms, a frequent reason for failure in reducing or quitting smoking. The effects of the herbal tea on smoking cessation and withdrawal symptoms may be attributed to increased metabolism of nicotine and other effects of unidentified components of the herbal ingredients.

Although nanometric dead Lactobacillus plantarum has emerged as a potentially important modulator of immune responses, its underlying mechanism of action has not been fully understood. This study aimed to identify the detailed biochemical mechanism of immune modulation by micronized and heat-treated L. plantarum LM1004 (MHT-LM1004, <$1{\mu}m$ in size). MHT-LM1004 was prepared from L. plantarum LM1004 via culture in a specifically designed membrane bioreactor and heat treatment. MHT-LM1004 was shown to effectively induce the secretion of $TNF-{\alpha}$ and IL-6 and the mRNA expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). MHT-LM1004 enhanced the expression of TLR-2, phosphorylation of MAPKs (ERK), and nuclear translocation of $NF-{\kappa}B$ in a dose-dependent manner. Oral administration of MHT-LM1004 ($4{\times}10^9$ or $4{\times}10^{11}cells/kg$ mouse body weight) increased the splenocyte proliferation and serum cytokine levels. These results suggested that MHT-LM1004 effectively enhances early innate immunity by activating macrophages via the TLR-2/MAPK/$NF-{\kappa}B$ signalling pathway and that this pathway is one of the major routes in immune modulation by the Lactobacillus species.

Over last decade Multiple Target Tracking (MTT) has been the subject of numerous presentations and conferences [1979-1900]. Various approaches have been proposed to solve the problem. Representative works in the problem are Nearest Neighbor (NN) method based on non-probabilistic data association (DA), Multiple Hypothesis Test (MHT) and Joint Probabilistic Data Association (JPDA) as the probabilistic approaches. These techniques have their own advantages and limitations in computational requirements and in the tracking performances. In this paper, the three promising algorithms based on the NN standard filter, MHT and JPDA methods are presented and their performances against simulated multiple maneuvering targets are compared through numerical simulations.

Objective : This study's purpose was to review the clinical studies of Mahwang-tang (MHT). Method : We searched ten clinical studies of MHT using KISS, RISS, NAVER, PUBMED, Science Direct. Ten papers were sorted by 4 topics, as influenza, pediatric febrile symptoms, contact dermatitis, and adjuvant for chronic hepatitis C. At last we analyzed if these papers are consistent with the keywords of Shanghanlun provisions about MHT. Results : When summarizing these papers again by topic, there were 4 studies on influenza, 1 study on pediatric febrile symptoms, 1 study on contact dermatitis and 4 studies as an adjuvant for chronic hepatitis C. Conclusion : These studies were consistent with terms such as fever, headache, aversion to wind, body pain, pain in the lumbar, articular pain written in Shanghanlun provisions. In addition to this, research on anti-depressive effects of MHT is proceeding systematically. However, studies on nosebleeds and pulses are still underdeveloped and further studies are needed.

The development of fast reactors with complex designs and operation status requires more accurate and effective simulation. The Monte-Carlo method can generate multi-group cross-sections in arbitrary geometry without approximation on resonances treatment and leads to good results in combination with diffusion codes. However, in previous studies, the coupling of Monte-Carlo generated multi-group cross-sections (MC-MGXS) and transport solvers has shown relatively large biases in fast reactor problems. In this paper, the main contribution to the biases is proved to be the neglect of the angle-dependence of the total cross-sections. The flux-moment homogenization technique (MHT) is proposed to take into account this dependence. In this method, the angular dependence is attributed to the transfer cross-sections, keeping an independent form for the total sections. For the MET-1000 benchmark, the multi-group transport simulation results with MC-MGXS generated with MHT are improved by 700 pcm and an additional 120 pcm with higher order scattering. The factors that cause the residual bias are discussed. The core power distribution bias is also significantly reduced when MHT is used. It proves that the MCMGXS with MHT can be applicable with transport solvers in fast reactor analysis.

Estrogen is crucial in regulating food intake, energy expenditure, glucose metabolism, and lipid metabolism. During menopause, the decline in estrogen levels predisposes women to weight gain, abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) prevents weight gain, improves lipid metabolism by lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol while raising high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and delays the onset of type 2 diabetes in menopausal women. The effect of MHT on CVD in menopausal women remains controversial. The Women's Health Initiative study was terminated prematurely after it revealed that hormone administration increased the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and thromboembolism. However, some studies have found that MHT had no effect or decreased the risk of CVD. The inconsistent results were likely due to multiple factors, including the timing of hormone therapy initiation, duration of therapy, type and dosage, and presence or absence of CVD risk factors at the start of treatment. Despite its benefits in terms of managing weight gain and reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and CVD associated with obesity, it is not recommended as the primary therapy for weight loss or diabetes prevention. MHT is primarily indicated for postmenopausal women, who are likely to benefit from its potential to prevent weight gain and improve lipid metabolism.
