The Markus ionization chamber(R) is a small plane parallel ionization chamber widely used in clinical electron beam dosimetry. Plane parallel chambers were recommended for low energy electron dosimetry with the beam quality at $R_{50}<4.0g/cm^2$ (${\bar{E}}{\approx}10MeV$) according to TRS-398 protocol. However, the quality correction factors ($k_{Q,Q_0}$) of the Markus chamber was not presented in TRS-398 protocol for electron beam quality at $R_{50}<2.0g/cm^2$ (${\bar{E}}{\approx}4MeV$). In this study, the $k_{Q,Q_0}$ factors of the Markus chambers (PTW-34045) for beam qualities at $R_{50}=1.0$, 1.4, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, and $5.0g/cm^2$ were determined by Monte Carlo calculations (DOSRZnrc/EGSnrc) and the dosimetric formalism of quality correction factor. The derived $k_{Q,Q_0}$ values were evaluated using the produced data based on TRS-398 and TG-51 protocols and known values for the Markus chamber.

In this paper, we introduce a fully modified (p, q)-poly tangent polynomials and numbers of the first type. We investigate analytic properties that is related with (p, q)-Gaussian binomial coefficients. We also define (p, q)-Stirling numbers of the second kind and fully modified (p, q)-poly tangent polynomials and numbers of the first type with two variables. Moreover, we derive some identities are concerned with the modified tangent polynomials and the (p, q)-Stirling numbers.

In this paper, we define a new subclass of k-uniformly starlike functions of order γ (0 ≤ γ < 1) by using certain generalized q-integral operator. We explore geometric interpretation of the functions in this class by connecting it with conic domains. We also investigate q-sufficient coefficient condition, q-Fekete-Szegö inequalities, q-Bieberbach-De Branges type coefficient estimates and radius problem for functions in this class. We conclude this paper by introducing an analogous subclass of k-uniformly convex functions of order γ by using the generalized q-integral operator. We omit the results for this new class because they can be directly translated from the corresponding results of our main class.

Let p(z)be a polynomial of degree n. Then Bernstein's inequality [12,18] is $${\max\limits_{{\mid}z{\mid}=1}}\;{\mid}p^{\prime}(z){\mid}\;{\leq}\;n\;{\max_{{\mid}z{\mid}=1}{\mid}(z){\mid}}$$. For q > 0, we denote $${\parallel}p{\parallel}_q=\{{\frac{1}{2{\pi}}}{\normalsize\displaystyle\smashmargin{2}{\int\nolimits_{0}}^{2{\pi}}}\;{\mid}p(e^{i{\theta}}){\mid}^qd{\theta}\}^{\frac{1}{q}}$$, and a well-known fact from analysis [17] gives $${{\lim_{q{\rightarrow}{{\infty}}}}\{{\frac{1}{2{\pi}}}{\normalsize\displaystyle\smashmargin{2}{\int\nolimits_{0}}^{2{\pi}}}\;{\mid}p(e^{i{\theta}}){\mid}^qd{\theta}\}^{\frac{1}{q}}={\max\limits_{{\mid}z{\mid}=1}}\;{\mid}p(z){\mid}$$. Above Bernstein's inequality was extended by Zygmund [19] into L^q norm by proving ║p'║_q ≤ n║p║_q, q ≥ 1. Let p(z) = a₀ + ∑ⁿ_𝜈=𝜇 a_𝜈z^𝜈, 1 ≤ 𝜇 ≤ n, be a polynomial of degree n having no zero in |z| < k, k ≥ 1. Then for 0 < r ≤ R ≤ k, Aziz and Zargar [4] proved $${\max\limits_{{\mid}z{\mid}=R}}\;{\mid}p^{\prime}(z){\mid}\;{\leq}\;{\frac{nR^{{\mu}-1}(R^{\mu}+k^{\mu})^{{\frac{n}{\mu}}-1}}{(r^{\mu}+k^{\mu})^{\frac{n}{\mu}}}\;{\max\limits_{{\mid}z{\mid}=r}}\;{\mid}p(z){\mid}}$$. In this paper, we obtain the L^q version of the above inequality for q > 0. Further, we extend a result of Aziz and Shah [3] into L^q analogue for q > 0. Our results not only extend some known polynomial inequalities, but also reduce to some interesting results as particular cases.

For $Q = [0,S] \times [0,T]$ let C(Q) denote Yeh-Wiener space, i.e., the space of all real-valued continuous functions x(s,t) on Q such that x(0,t) = x(s,0) = 0 for every (s,t) in Q. Yeh [10] defined a Gaussian measure $m_y$ on C(Q) (later modified in [13]) such that as a stochastic process ${x(s,t), (s,t) \epsilon Q}$ has mean $E[x(s,t)] = \smallint_{C(Q)} x(s,t)m_y(dx) = 0$ and covariance $E[x(s,t)x(u,\upsilon)] = min{s,u} min{t,\upsilon}$. Let $C_\omega \equiv C[0,T]$ denote the standard Wiener space on [0,T] with Wiener measure $m_\omega$. Yeh [12] introduced the concept of the conditional Wiener integral of F given X, E(F$\mid$X), and for case X(x) = x(T) obtained some very useful results including a Kac-Feynman integral equation.

Typically everyday human life tasks involve at least two people moving objects such as tables and beds, and the balancing of such object changes based on one person's action. However, many studies in previous work performed their tasks solely on robots without factoring human cooperation. Therefore, in this paper, we propose cooperative robot for table balancing using Q-learning that enables cooperative work between human and robot. The human's action is recognized in order to balance the table by the proposed robot whose camera takes the image of the table's state, and it performs the table-balancing action according to the recognized human action without high performance equipment. The classification of human action uses a deep learning technology, specifically AlexNet, and has an accuracy of 96.9% over 10-fold cross-validation. The experiment of Q-learning was carried out over 2,000 episodes with 200 trials. The overall results of the proposed Q-learning show that the Q function stably converged at this number of episodes. This stable convergence determined Q-learning policies for the robot actions. Video of the robotic cooperation with human over the table balancing task using the proposed Q-Learning can be found at http://ibot.knu.ac.kr/videocooperation.html.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of oral supplementation of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) for 4 weeks on the plasma free oxygen radical and total antioxidant capacity at resting and after one bout exercise in healthy old men. Thirty volunteers with an average (+/-SD) age of 62.59+/-5.3 years participated in this study and were divided with three groups; CoQ10 (200 mg daily) group, vitamin C & E (800mg, 400 IU daily) group, and placebo group. A cycle exercise (60% HRR) test was performed at the end of study. Blood samples were taken for the analyses at rest and pre-, post-, 30min after cycle exercise, before and after the 4 weeks of supplementation. After supplementation, there were no significant differences in the plasma free oxygen radical levels and total antioxidant capacity at resting. Plasma free oxygen radical level and total antioxidant capacity in three groups were significantly elevated after exercise, however, it did not vary significantly between groups. CoQ10 supplementation showed significant difference in total antioxidant capacity during recovery phase compared with placebo group. Our results demonstrated that supplementation of CoQ10 in healthy old men improve blood total antioxidant capacity after one bout exercise, despite no alteration of plasma free oxygen radical levels.

This study was conducted to determine the types of nurse's image in nurses and nursing students by using Q-methodology. Total 40 Q-samples were extracted from Q-population consisted of the 385 statements, which were collected from 135 nurses with more than one year clinical experience in H city and 250 nursing students at H university. The Q-sample classification was conducted by 10 nurses and 40 nursing students, and data were analyzed by using PQ method program. As results, the types of nurse's images were derived as 'textbooked', 'realistic' and 'periodic.' This study was meaningful in analyzing the types of nurse image from both nurses and nursing students. In order to improve the image of nurses, we propose not only to develop a systematic nursing curriculum but also to develop health and medical policies reflecting reality of care settings.

In this study, the Q method is used to investigate the types of perceptions of liberal arts education perceived by college students and to investigate the characteristics of each type. 33 Q samples were extracted from the Q population collected through literature research, open questionnaires, and deep interviews. Q classification was conducted for 27 students of A University located in B City. The data was analyzed using the QUANL program. In the research, the types of awareness of liberal arts education were derived as "pursuit of various experiences", "pursuit of practical studies", "pursuit of accident expansion", and "pursuit of social change". The results of this study re-establish the meaning of liberal arts education in university education and suggest that it is necessary to consider various educational contents and teaching learning methods.

The WiMedia Alliance has specified a Distributed Medium Access Control (D-MAC) protocol based on UWB for high speed wireless home networks and Wireless USB. In this paper, firstly, the fair SoQ-based Distributed Reservation Protocol (DRP) for D-MAC is analyzed. And a novel SoQ-based relay transmission protocol is proposed to overcome DRP conflicts fast. In the proposed protocol, each device executes the Satisfaction of QoS (SoQ) time slot allocation algorithm independently. And, in order to give the loser device due to DRP conflicts another chance to maintain QoS resources, the proposed relay transmission protocol helps the device reserve another indirect link maintaining the required QoS resources via a relay node.
