Neural networks are known as kinds of intelligent strategies since they have learning capability. There are various their applications from intelligent control fields; however, their applications have limits from the point that the stability of the intelligent control systems is not usually guaranteed. In this paper we propose an adaptive tracking control for robot manipulators using the radial basis function network (RBFN) that is e. kind of neural networks. Adaptation laws for parameters of the RBFN are developed based on the Lyapunov stability theory to guarantee the stability of the overall control scheme. Filtered tracking errors between actual outputs and desired outputs are discussed in the sense of the uniformly ultimately boundedness(UUB). Additionally, it is also shown that parameters of the RBFN are bounded. Experimental results for a SCARA-type robot manipulator show that the proposed adaptive tracking controller is adaptable to the environment changes and is more robust than the conventional PID controller and the neuro-controller based on the multilayer perceptron.

A control application requirements currently used is very low, such as packet loss rate, minimum delay on sensor networks with quality of service (QoS) requirements some packet delivery guarantee. This paper is the sampling period at the end of the actuator and sensor data transfer related to the Miss ratio for each source sensor node, use the controller and the internal ANFIS. The proposed scheme has the advantages of simplicity, scalability, and General. Simulation results of the proposed scheme can provide QoS support in WSANs.

1. The auther studied the interrelationship between the sensibility of heart of fishes to neuro-hormones (epinephrine, norepinephrine and acetylcholinie) and 5-hydroxytryptamine and the differentiation of nervous system in the heart . Attempts were also made to develop the similarity and systematic relationship of inter-genus and inter-species. 2. Judging from the reactions to neurohormones, it is considered that inter-genus of locah (Misgurnus mizolepis GNTHER) and eel (Anguilla japonic TEMMINEK & SCHJEGEL) are more closely related than that of Crucian (Carassius carassius L. ). 3. As the sensibility of locach to 50 jhdroxytryptamine is more sensitive over 10, 000 times than that of a Mollusca, Meretrix lusoria RODING, it is very excellent material for the bioassay of 5-jydroxytryptamine.

The yo-yo system has been introduced as an interesting plant to demonstrate the effectiveness of intelligent controllers. Having nonlinear and asymmetric characteristics, the yo-yo plant requires a controller quite different from conventional controllers such as PID. In this paper is presented an adaptive method of controlling the yo-yo system. Fuzzy logic controller based on human expertise is referred at first. Then, an adaptive fuzzy controller which has adaptation features against the variation of plant parameters is proposed. Finally, experimental results are presented.

Medulloblastoma is a common pediatric tumor typically diagnosed before the age of fifteen. Initial therapy includes surgical resection and radiation of the entire neuro-axis. Recurrence is common and typically occurs within 2 years of initial diagnosis. Those fitting Collin's Law is considered tumor-free. We report a case of single supratentorial recurrence 13 years after initial diagnosis. Here we present a 22 year old male presenting 13 years after initial diagnosis with isolated septum pellucidum recurrence. He underwent complete resection of the tumor. Medulloblastoma is a common in the pediatric population. Late recurrence to the ventricular system is uncommon. Long term follow-up is recommended in these patients.

Trigeminal neuralgia is a unique disease entity to be dealt with at pain clinic due to it's severe pain attack. A 33-year old male patient had severe pain on left cheek area usually initiating from first upper molar tooth area for three years. We successfully treated this patient with maxillary nerve block using pure alcohol by a lateral approach. Three months after maxillary block the patient is still pain free.

We experienced a case of osteoid osteoma in thoracic vertebra accompanied with herniated nucleus pulposus during the management of back pain. A 32 year old male patient with herniated nucleus pulposus complained of back pain and radiation to right leg. Lumbar epidural block with 1% mepivacaine 5 ml was performed for pain control and it relieved the radiating pain. However patient continued to experience severe exacerated back pain at night which responded to aspirin. Therefore we performed further examination for existence of disease of the spine and diagnosed osteoid osteoma in the right pedicle of T12 vertebra. In conclusion, we recommend physicians when evaluating patients with back pain to be congnizant of possible existence of neoplastic disease of the spine and incorporate it in differential diagnosis.

In this paper, a method of improving the learning speed and convergence rate is proposed to exploit the advantages of artificial neural networks and neuro-fuzzy systems. This method is applied to the XOR problem, n bit parity problem, which is used as the benchmark in the field of pattern recognition. The method is also applied to the recognition of digital image for practical image application. As a result of experiment, it does not always guarantee convergence. However, the network showed considerable improvement in learning time and has a high convergence rate. The proposed network can be extended to any number of layers. When we consider only the case of the single layer, the networks had the capability of high speed during the learning process and rapid processing on huge images.

Objective : To evaluate the efficacy of temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy for recurrent anaplastic oligodendroglioma (AO) and anaplastic oligoastrocytoma (AOA). Methods : A multi-center retrospective trial enrolled seventy-two patients with histologically proven AO/AOA who underwent TMZ chemotherapy for their recurrent tumors from 2006 to 2010. TMZ was administered orally (150 to 200 $mg/m^2/day$) for 5 days per 28 days until unacceptable toxicity occurred or tumor progression was observed. Results : TMZ chemotherapy cycles administered was median 5.3 (range, 1-41). The objective response rate was 24% including 8 cases (11%) of complete response and another 23 patients (32%) were remained as stable disease. Severe side effects (${\geq}$grade 3) occurred only in 9 patients (13%). Progression-free survival (PFS) of all patients was a median 8.0 months (95% confidence interval, 6.0-10.0). The time to recurrence of a year or after was a favorable prognostic factor for PFS (p<0.05). Overall survival (OS) was apparently differed by the patient's histology, as AOA patients survived a median OS of 18.0 months while AO patients did not reach median OS at median follow-up of 11.5 months (range 2.7-65 months). Good performance status of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group 0 and 1 showed prolonged OS (p<0.01). Conclusion : For recurrent AO/AOA after surgery followed by radiation therapy, TMZ could be recommended as a salvage therapy at the estimated efficacy equal to procarbazine, lomustine, and vincristine (PCV) chemotherapy at first relapse. For patients previously treated with PCV, TMZ is a favorable therapeutic option as 2nd line salvage chemotherapy with an acceptable toxicity rate.

The animal naming test (ANT) is known to be influenced not only by age, gender, and education but only by ethnicity, culture, and language. Thus, population-specific norm considering these variables needs to be developed for Korean-speaking elderly. We evaluated 185 healthy elderly people with five measures. Education was the single statistically independent correlate of the total number of words ($R^2$ = .312, p = .038). After adjusting for education, there was slightly significant negative correlation (r = -.215, p = .049) between age and total number of words. Mean number of words produced was $13.71{\pm}3.09$. The production frequency was negatively correlated with the typicality rating (r = -0.41, p < .05). The concrete and exact scoring rule could be set up in the comparison of naming performance between a normal and patient with neuro-linguistic disorder and its data could be utilized in a differential diagnosis for patients with neurological disorders.
