Objective: Flow diverting stents (FDS) are a validated device in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms, allowing for minimally invasive intervention. However, after its approval for use in the United States in 2011, post-market surveillance of adverse events is limited. This study aims to address this critical knowledge gap by analyzing the FDA Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database for patient and device related (PR and DR) reports of adverse events and malfunctions. Methods: Using post-market surveillance data from the MAUDE database, PR and DR reports from January 2012-December 2021 were extracted, compiled, and analyzed with R-Studio version 2021.09.2. PR and DR reports with insufficient information were excluded. Raw information was organized, and further author generated classifications were created for both PR and DR reports. Results: A total of 2203 PR and 4017 DR events were recorded. The most frequently reported PR adverse event categories were cerebrovascular (60%), death (11%), and neurological (8%). The most frequent PR adverse event reports were death (11%), thrombosis/thrombus (9%) cerebral infarction (8%), decreased therapeutic response (7%), stroke/cerebrovascular accident (6%), intracranial hemorrhage (5%), aneurysm (4%), occlusion (4%), headache (4%), neurological deficit/dysfunction (3%). The most frequent DR reports were activation/positioning/separation problems (52%), break (9%), device operates differently than expected (4%), difficult to open or close (4%), material deformation (3%), migration or expulsion of device (3%), detachment of device or device component (2%). Conclusions: Post-market surveillance is important to guide patient counselling and identify adverse events and device problems that were not identified in initial trials. We present frequent reports of several types of cerebrovascular and neurological adverse events as well as the most common device shortcomings that should be explored by manufacturers and future studies. Although inherent limitations to the MAUDE database are present, our results highlight important PR and DR complications that can help optimize patient counseling and device development.

MANET(Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork), a network characterized that its moving nodes freely constructs Network topology, has other different characteristics. Because Policy based Network Management in MANET guarantees QoS between nodes, it is essential in applied areas like VANET which targets safety and convenience. In this paper, we use COPS-PR which is appropriate Policy Exchange Protocol for MANET, and implement DiffServ-based QoS in the real networks and experiment its capability.

The purpose of this work was to separate Ce, Pr, Nd and Sm from rare-earth oxides by column chromatography. Rare earth solution were adsorbed into the Amberlite IR-120 resin and were eluted by the ammonia alkali solution of the EDTA. As a result of determinating rare earth metals of each fraction, Ce was separated very effectively and Nd and Sm partially separaed but Pr never separated.

ZnO varistor에서 희토류 산화물의 첨가는 비선형계 높게 만든다. 회토류 금속의 첨가로 높아진 비저항을 낮추기 위하여 3족 원소인 Al, Ga을 첨가하여 첨가 함량에 따른 ZnO-$Pr_6O_{11}$ varistor의 비저항을 낮추고자 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Al과 Ga 첨가에 따른 ZnO-$Pr_6O_{11}$을 일반적인 세라믹 공정에 따라 제조하여, Al과 Ga 첨가에 따른 ZnO-$Pr_6O_{11}$ varistor의 특성을 미세구조 조직, 밀도, I-V 특성, 비저항 측정하였다. ZnO의 bulk 및 grain boundary 특성 변화를 각종 유전함수($Z^*$, $Y^*$, $M^*$, $\varepsilon^*$, $tan{\delta}$)를 이용하여 고찰하였다.

SrTiO$_3$에 Pr$^{3+}$ 이온, 또는 Pr$^{3+}$ 이온과 Ga$^{3+}$ 이온을 첨가하여 합성한 형광체와 floating zone method로 성장시킨 단결정의 PL 특성을 조사하였다. 분말 형광체와 단결정에서 모두 Ga$^{3+}$ 이온이 함께 첨가되었을 때 적색 발광 세기가 크게 증가하였다. XRF(X-Ray Fluorescence) 측정결과 Ga$^{3+}$ 이온이 함께 첨가되었을 때 SrTiO$_3$결정 격자내의 Pr$^{3+}$ 이온의 농도가 증가하였다. Ga$^{3+}$ 이온이 함께 첨가되었을 때 적색 발광 세기가 증가하는 것은 첨가된 Ga$^{3+}$ 이온이 결정내 발광 center인 Pt$^{3+}$ 이온의 농도가 증가시켰기 때문이며, 또한 Ga$^{3+}$ 이온이 hole trap center로 작용하기 때문인 것으로 생각된다.

ZnO varistors containing 5.0 at% Co3O4 and Pr6O11, ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 at%, were sintered at 130$0^{\circ}C$ and 135$0^{\circ}C$. The I-V characteristics and nonlinear coefficients of the specimens were investigated with respect to Pr addition and sintering temperature. In general the specimens sintered at 130$0^{\circ}C$ showed better varistor characteristic than those fired at 135$0^{\circ}C$, which seemed to be related with the liquid phase formation during sintering. The barrier heights obtained from C-V relations, 0.29-1.36 eV, were different from those acquired using resistivity-temperature plots measured at low voltage per grain boundary. Therefore the estimation of potential barrier heights using C-V relations is better suited for the specimens prepared in this study. The carrier densities obtained using C-V relations were ~1018 cm-3.

The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission(TRMM) Satellite was launched in November 1997, carrying into orbit the first space-borne Precipitation Radar(PR). The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between TRMM/PR and AWS raingage data, and test the possibility to apply storm runoff prediction. Four TRMM/PR data in 1999 for Yongdam watershed was adopted and made a simple linear regression equation using AWS data. By using the equation, the storm runoff was estimated with the adjusted rainfall. TRMM/PR rainfall and runoff was overall underestimated by the carry-over effect of rainfall error and SCS-CN value selection.
