Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) code는 최근 그 우수한 성능으로 인하여 4세대 무선 이동 통신용 채널 코딩으로 주목받고 있다. 또한 유럽 디지털 위성 방송 규격인 DVB-S2는 LDPC 코드를 채널 코딩방식으로 채택하였다. 본 논문에서는 인코더와 디코더 양쪽 모두 효율적으로 하드웨어 구현이 가능한 hybrid H-matrix 구조를 이용한 DVB-S2 LDPC 복호기 구조를 제안한다. Hybrid H-matrix는 semi-random 방식과 partly parallel 방식을 결합하여 부호기와 복호기를 동시에 효율적으로 구현할 수 있다. 제안된 복호기 구조에서는 다양한 코드율에 사용되는 Variable Node processor Unit (VNU)을 재사용하기 위한 새로운 VNU와 최적화된 블록 메모리 배치 방법을 이용하였다. 제안된 구조를 이용하여 코드율 1/2의 DVB-S2 LDPC 복호기를 설계하였고 그 결과를 기존의 복호기와 비교하였다.

Background Closed-suction drains are widely used in expander-based breast reconstruction. These drains are typically removed using a volume-based criterion. The drainage volume affects the hospital stay length and the recovery time. However, few studies have analyzed the factors that influence drainage volume after expander-based breast reconstruction. Methods We retrospectively analyzed data regarding daily drainage from patients who underwent expander-based breast reconstruction between April 2014 and January 2018 (159 patients, 176 expanders). Patient and operative factors were analyzed regarding their influence on total drainage volume and drain placement duration using univariate and multivariate analyses and analysis of variance. Results The mean total drainage volume was 1,210.77±611.44 mL. Univariate analysis showed correlations between total drainage volume and age (B=19.825, P<0.001), body weight (B=17.758, P<0.001), body mass index (B=51.817, P<0.001), and specimen weight (B=1.590, P<0.001). Diabetes history (P<0.001), expander type (P<0.001), and the surgical instrument used (P<0.001) also strongly influenced total drainage. The acellular dermal matrix type used did not affect total drainage (P=0.626). In the multivariate analysis, age (B=11.907, P=0.004), specimen weight (B=0.927, P<0.001), and expander type (B=593.728, P<0.001) were significant predictors of total drainage. Conclusions Our findings suggest that the total drainage and the duration of drain placement needed after expander-based breast reconstruction can be predicted using preoperative and intraoperative data. Patient age, specimen weight, and expander type are important predictors of drainage volume. Older patients, heavier specimens, and use of the Mentor rather than the Allergan expander corresponded to a greater total drainage volume and a longer duration of drain placement.

A 4-month-old female patient admitted because of hydrocephalus. She was premature infant with germinal matrix hemorrhage at gestational period 27 wks. A ventriculoperitoneal shunt with a low-pressure type valve was placed. Follow-up CT scan obtained 3 months after VP shunt placement, revealed a new Lt. middle cranial fossa cyst. The girl was readmitted to hospital at 7 months after VP shunt placement, complaining of lethargy and vomiting. A CT scan was demonstrated a increase in size of a cyst, She subsequently underwent a left-sided pterional craniotomy with partial excision of membrane and cyst fenestration into the basal cisterns. Follow-up CT scan after 18 months revealed reaccumulation of cyst, the girl was reoperated on. After 2 months, the size of cyst was not decreased. Finally, She underwent a cystoperitoneal shunt. Follow-up CT scan after 5 months was demonstrated disappeared cyst and reexpansion of brain parenchyma. We report the development of a symptomatic sylvian fissure arachnoid cyst developed after ventriculoperitoneal shunt.

To detect and prevent structural damage caused by various loads on marine structures and ships, structural health monitoring procedure is essential. Estimating loads acting on the structures which are measured by sensors that are mounted properly are crucial for structural health monitoring. However, attaching an excessive number of sensors to the structure without consideration can be inefficient due to the high costs involved and the potential for inducing structural instability. In this study, we introduce a method to determine the optimal number of sensors and their optimized locations for strain measurement sensors, allowing for accurate load estimation throughout the structure using model expansion method. To estimate the loads exerted on the entire structure with minimal sensors, we construct a strain-load interpolation matrix using the strain mode shapes of the finite element (FE) model and select the optimal sensor locations by applying D-Optimal Design and the row exchange algorithm. Finally, we estimate the loads exerted on the entire structure using the model expansion method. To validate the proposed method, we compare the results obtained by applying the optimal sensor placement and model expansion method to an FE model subjected to arbitrary loads with the loads exerted on the entire FE model, demonstrating efficiency and accuracy.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare changes in soft and hard tissue and the histologic composition following early implant placement in sites with alveolar ridge preservation or spontaneous healing (SH), as well as implant performance up to 1 year after crown insertion. Methods: Thirty-five patients with either intact buccal bone plates or dehiscence of up to 50% following single-tooth extraction of incisors, canines, or premolars were included in the study. They were randomly assigned to undergo one of three procedures: deproteinized bovine bone mineral with 10% collagen (DBBM-C) covered by a collagen matrix (DBBM-C/CM), DBBM-C alone, or SH. At 8 weeks, implant placement was carried out, and cone-beam computed tomography scans and impressions were obtained for profilometric analysis. Patients were followed up after the final crown insertion and again at 1 year post-procedure. Results: Within the first 8 weeks following tooth extraction, the median height of the buccal soft tissue contour changed by -2.11 mm for the DBBM-C/CM group, -1.62 mm for the DBBM-C group, and -1.93 mm for the SH group. The corresponding height of the buccal mineralized tissue changed by -0.27 mm for the DBBM-C/CM group, -2.73 mm for the DBBM-C group, and -1.48 mm for the SH group. The median contour changes between crown insertion and 1 year were -0.19 mm in the DBBM-C/CM group, -0.09 mm in the DBBM-C group, and -0.29 mm in the SH group. Conclusions: Major vertical and horizontal ridge contour changes occurred, irrespective of the treatment modality, up to 8 weeks following tooth extraction. The DBBM-C/CM preserved more mineralized tissue throughout this period, despite a substantial reduction in the overall contour. All 3 protocols led to stable tissues for up to 1 year.

Inadequate keratinized mucosa around dental implants can lead to more plaque accumulation, tissue inflammation, marginal recession and attachment loss. We evaluated the effects of free gingival and extracellular matrix membrane grafts performed to increase the insufficient width of keratinized tissue around dental implants in the posterior mandible. A 47-year-old female patient presented with discomfort due to swelling of the lower right second premolar area. Due to severe destruction of alveolar bone, the tooth was extracted. After 3 months, a guided bone regeneration (GBR) procedure was performed and then a dental implant was placed 6 months later. During the second-stage implant surgery, free gingival grafting was performed to increase the width of the keratinized tissue. After 12 months, a clinical evaluation was performed. A 64-year-old female patient had a missing tooth area of bilateral lower molar region with narrow zone of keratinized gingiva and horizontal alveolar bone loss. Simultaneous implant placement and GBR were performed. Five months after the first-stage implant surgery, a gingival augmentation procedure was performed with an extracellular matrix membrane graft to improve the width of the keratinized tissue in the second-stage implant surgery. After 12 months, a clinical evaluation was performed. In these two clinical cases, 12 months of follow-up, revealed that the increased width of the keratinized tissue and the deepened oral vestibule was well maintained. A patient showed a good oral hygiene status. In conclusion, increased width of keratinized tissue around dental implants could improve oral hygiene and could have positive effects on the long-term stability and survival rate of dental implants. When planning a keratinized tissue augmentation procedure, clinicians should consider patient-reported outcomes.

This paper proposes a practical gain-scheduling control law considering robust stability and performance of Linear Parameter Varying(LPV) systems in the presence of nonlinearities and uncertainties. The proposed method introduces LMI-based pole placement synthesis and also associates with a recently developed fuzzy control system based on Takagei-Sugenos fuzzy model. The sufficient conditions for robust controller design of linearized local dynamics and robust stabilization of fuzzy control systems are reduced to a finite set of Linear Matrix inequalities(LMIs) and solved by using co-evolutionary algorithms. The proposed method is applied to the longitudinal acceleration control of high performance aircraft with linear and nonlinear simulations.

일반적으로 비선형 시스템은 1차와 2차 시스템의 곱으로 선형화할 수 있기 때문에 시스템은 2차 시스템의 중근, 복소근, 서로 다른 두 실근과 1차 시스템의 근을 극점으로 가진다. 이런 극점의 위치 변경으로 시스템의 안정성과 응답특성을 개선할 수 있어서 다양한 방법으로 극점을 이동시키는 제어기를 설계한다. 여러 방법 중에서 LQ 제어는 이득여유와 위상여유의 안정성을 보장한다. 그런데 시행착오 방법으로 가중행렬을 선택하여 원하는 응답특성을 얻기 때문에 극점의 위치를 임의로 지정하기 어렵다. 이 논문은 조단블록을 가진 다중 중근을 원하는 실근으로 이동시키는 LQ 제어의 가중행렬을 선택하는 방법에 관한 것이다. 대각행렬 형태의 제어가중행렬과 ρ_d와 ϕ_d의 2개 변수 상태가중행렬을 갖는 해밀토니안 시스템의 특성방정식에서 중근과 가중행렬의 관계식을 유도한다. 그리고 상태가중행렬이 양의 준정부호 행렬이 될 조건에서 실근으로 이동할 중근의 이동범위를 구하고, 좌표평면에 표현한다. 이 범위에서 극점을 선택하고, 관계식으로 가중행렬을 계산하는 방법을 제안한다. 그리고 예제를 통해 조단블록을 갖는 4개의 중근을 원하는 서로 다른 실근으로 이동시키는 가중행렬과 제어법칙의 계산과정을 통해 제안한 방법의 유용성을 확인하였다.

Background CGCryoDerm was first introduced in 2010 and offers a different matrix preservation processes for freezing without drying preparation. From a theoretical perspective, CGCryoDerm has a more preserved dermal structure and more abundant growth factors for angiogenesis and recellularization. In the current study, the authors performed a retrospective study to evaluate freezing- and freeze-drying-processed acellular dermal matrix (ADM) to determine whether any differences were present in an early complication profile. Methods Patients who underwent ADM-assisted tissue expander placement for two stage breast reconstruction between January of 2013 and March of 2014 were retrospectively reviewed and divided into two groups based on the types of ADM-assisted expander reconstruction (CGDerm vs. CGCryoDerm). Complications were divided into four main categories and recorded as follows: seroma, hematoma, infection, and mastectomy skin flap necrosis. Results In a total of 82 consecutive patients, the CGCryoDerm group had lower rates of seroma when compared to the CGDerm group without statistical significance (3.0% vs. 10.2%, P=0.221), respectively. Other complications were similar in both groups. Reconstructions with CGCryoDerm were found to have a significantly longer period of drainage when compared to reconstructions with CGDerm (11.91 days vs. 10.41 days, P=0.043). Conclusions Preliminary findings indicate no significant differences in early complications between implant/expander-based reconstructions using CGCryoderm and those using CGDerm.
