Computer software has gradually become an indispensable elements in many aspects of our daily lives and an important factor in numerous systems. In recent years, it is not unusual that the software cost is more than the hardware cost in many situations. In addition to the costs of developing software, the repair cost resulting from the software failures are even more significant. In this paper, a cost model with warranty cost, time to remove each fault detected in the software system, and delivery delay cost is developed. We use a software reliability model based on non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP). We discuss the optimal release policies to minimize the expected total software cost. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the results.

The dynamic nature of opportunistic networks results in long delays, low rates of success for deliveries, etc. As such user experience is limited, and the further development of opportunistic networks is constrained. This paper proposes a prediction-based routing method for opportunistic networks (PB-OppNet). Firstly, using an ARIMA model, PB-OppNet describes the historical contact information between a node pair as a time series to predict the average encounter time interval of the node pair. Secondly, using an optimal stopping rule, PB-OppNet obtains a threshold for encounter time intervals as forwarding utility. Based on this threshold, a node can easily make decisions of stopping observing, or delivering messages when potential forwarding nodes enter its communication range. It can also report different encounter time intervals to the destination node. With the threshold, PB-OppNet can achieve a better compromise of forwarding utility and waiting delay, so that delivery delay is minimized. The simulation experiment result presented here shows that PB-OppNet is better than existing methods in prediction accuracy for links, delivery delays, delivery success rates, etc.

Numerous reports show that alternative project delivery systems (PDSs) such as design-build (DB), construction management at risk (CMR), and design-build-maintain (DBM) are increasingly used in many countries. This study compared characteristics of each PDS (design-bid-build (DBB), DB, CMR, or DBM) by analyzing quantitative data from 9 research articles. In order to compare characteristics between DBB and alternative PDSs, the study is based on principal 3 factors - Time, Cost, and Quality. DB shows the best performance in the time part and also the cost performance depending on facility type and project size. The performance of quality has minor difference among different PDSs. These results support the fact that using an appropriate PDS by the characteristic of a project makes high value of efficiency and productivity.

This study was performed to identify the normal anatomic orientation of pulmonary arteries and to obtain the normal baseline parameters and the optimal contrast material delivery methods of computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) on normal beagle dogs. Based on the contrast injection flow rate, the contrast volume, and the administration methods, the experimental groups were divided into 4 groups such as group 1 : 2 ml/s, 3 ml/kg, and monophasic administration; group 2 : 5 ml/s, 3 ml/kg, and monophasic administration; group 3 : 5 ml/s, 4 ml/kg, and monophasic administration; group 4 : 5 ml/s and 2 ml/kg in first phase, 0.3 ml/s and 2 ml/kg in second phase, as biphasic administration. Normal anatomic orientation of pulmonary arteries in CTPA was evaluated through reformatted and 3D images after retro-reconstruction. Normal parameters for great arteries and peripheral pulmonary arteries were obtained on the factor of basement hounsfield unit (HU) values, contrast enhanced HU values, delay time, and peak time. And the optimal contrast delivery methods were evaluated on the factor of contrast enhanced HU values, image quality, and artifact. The monophasic administration with 5 ml/s contrast injection flow rate and 3 ml/kg contrast volume was optimal in canine CTPA.

공급자와 소비자간의 정보공유는 기능 중심에서 프로세스 중심이 되면서, 유연성과 고객 서비스를 극대화하기 위한 새로운 물류 개념을 요구하게 되었다. 다시 말하면 원부자재의 조달에서부터 생산을 거쳐 고객에게 판매되기까지의 전 과정에 걸친 개체간의 수요와 공급의 사슬관계를 의미하는 공급망 내에서 정보, 자금 그리고 물의 흐름을 관리 통제하는 공급사슬경영(SCM)이 사업의 핵심역량으로 인식되고 있다. 또한 국내 기업들의 수 배송 업무의 합리화는 국내 기업 물류관리의 가장 중요한 과제중의 하나로 부각되고 있다. 물류센터로부터 각 거래처로 물품을 배달하는 배송업무의 경우에는 기업의 물류정보시스템이 상류 중심의 데이터 체계로 구축되어왔기 때문에 물류관리 업무의 합리화에 활용할 수 있는 기초 데이터 부재와 현실적인 제약조건들을 고려한 효율적인 자동배차 알고리듬을 적용하지 못했기 때문에 배차담당자들의 수작업 조정시간이 장시간 소요되었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 현실적인 다양한 제약조건을 만족하고, 수작업 조정시간이 대폭 줄이면서, 우편중심 좌표를 이용한 차량별 근거리 그룹핑으로 자동배차 지원시스템의 휴리스틱 알고리듬을 설계하도록 한다.

The study examined the effects of San-Yin-Jiao(SP-6) acupressure treatment on labor pain, length of delivery and anxiety for women in the labor. The effects of using SP-6 acupressure were evaluated by comparing two groups, a SP-6 acupressure group (22) and a control group (17), for a total of 39 women in labor who had a normal vaginal delivery. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire which included general characteristics, a subjective labor pain scale, measurement of duration of delivery time and a subjective anxiety scale. Data were collected before treatment (pre) and after treatment (post). The results of this study are summarized as follows : 1. The post-scores for total labor pain increased over the pre-scores but the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant(p=0.219). Wilcoxon signed rank test of the difference in pre-post labor pain scores for the SP-6 acupressure group was not statistically significant (p=0.081) but the increase for the control group was statistically significant (p=0.001). 2. The length of time for the delivery in the group which had the SP-6 acupressure was shorter (143.91${\pm}$67.77) than the control group (197.94${\pm}$89.64). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p=0.028). 3. The post-scores for anxiety increased over the pre-scores but the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (p=0.426). The scores of SP-6 acupressure group did not show a significant increase by the Wilcoxon signed rank test (p=0.194) but in the control group showed a significant increase (p=0.008).This study showed that SP-6 acupressure was effective in relation to labor pain, length of time for delivery and anxiety for labor women. But it is necessary to replicate the study with a larger number of participants to generalize the results.

Polyethylenimine (PEI) has been widely investigated for delivery of DNA into cells. It was previously reported that there were at least two types of cytotoxicity in PEI-mediated gene delivery, immediate and delayed toxicities. PEI-mediated gene delivery protocols use net cationic complexes with an excess of PEI to maintain equilibrium between the complexed and dissociated forms in solution. In this study, toxicity of free PEI or PEI/ DNA complex was investigated. Human embryonic kidney 293 cells were incubated with free PEI or PEI/DNA complex for 4 hrs. Then, the cells were analyzed at 6, 24, 48, and 96 hrs after the incubation. In MTT assay, the viability of the cells incubated with PEI/DNA complex was continuously decreased with time, while that of the cells incubated with free PEI was not. On the contrary, the expression level of the luciferase gene increased gradually along with time. Release of DNAs from the complexes for transcription produces free PEIs in the cells. This process may proceed slowly due to high charge density of PEI and may be related to delayed toxicity. In addition, apoptotic cells were observed only in the cells incubated with the PEI/DNA complex from 24 hrs after the incubation. The results suggest that PEI/DNA complex contributes to the delayed toxicity by inducing apoptosis and that the delayed toxicity may be related to decomplexation of the complexes in the cells.

The hybrid architecture of content delivery networks (CDN) and peer-to-peer overlay networks (P2P) is a promising technology enables effective real-time streaming services. It complements the advantages of quality control and reliability in a CDN, and the scalability of a P2P system. With real-time streaming services, however, high connection setup and media delivery latency are becoming the critical issues in deploying the CDN-P2P system. These issues result from biased peer selection without location awareness or content awareness, and can lead to significant service disruption. To reduce service disruption latency, we propose a group-based CDN-P2P hybrid architecture (iCDN-P2P) with a location/content-aware selection of peers. Specifically, a SuperPeer network makes a location-aware peer selection by employing a content addressable network (CAN) to distribute channel information. It also manages peers with content awareness, forming a group of peers with the same channel as the sub-overlay. Through a performance evaluation, we show that the proposed architecture outperforms the original CDN-P2P hybrid architecture in terms of connection setup delay and media delivery time.

도시에서 수요지점간을 이동하는데 걸리는 시간은 출퇴근시간 및 낮시간대와 같이 시간대에 따라 차이가 발생한다. 또한 배송 경로 중 특정구간에는 아파트나 학교, 기업 등과 간이 배송점이 밀집되어 있어 차량이 이동속도에 영향을 받지 않는 수요지점들이 포함되어있다. 그러나 기존의 차량경로 문제에서는 이러한 차량의 이동속도에 시간대에 따라 정체현상 등을 감안하거나 밀집되어있는 수요지점의 특성 또한 고려되지 않고 있다. 이 밀집지점들의 특성을 파악하여 한 개의 큰 배송점으로 처리하면 고려해야할 배송지점의 수를 대폭 축소할 수 있다. 이러한 점에 착안하여 본 연구에서는 시간대에 따라 수요지점간 이동속도가 달라지는 동적인 환경을 고려하되, 밀집지역을 고려한 차량경로를 구성하는 효율적인 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 개발된 해법은 최적해와 컴퓨터시뮬레이션 모형을 구축하여 최적해와 비교해 봄으로써 그 수행도를 평가하였다.
