  • Intracystic papillary carcinoma(IPC) of the breast is a distinctive and very rare variant of intrductal carcinoma. The cytologic features of IPC have been rarely reported, and there are difficulties in distinguishing between benign and malignant papillary breast lesions. Herein we report a IPC of the breast in a 80 year-old female. Fine needle aspiration cytology revealed monotonous cuboidal epithelial cells in small clusters and individually scattered on bloody background. The tumor cells did not show overt cytologic atypia. With the histologic features of this case and review of the literature, the cytologic differential points are discussed.

  • In this paper, the aim is to solve the neutral delay differential equations in the following form using multiquadric approximation scheme, (1) $$\{_{\;y(t)\;=\;{\phi}(t),\;\;\;\;\;t\;{\leq}\;{t_1},}^{\;y'(t)\;=\;f(t,\;y(t),\;y(t\;-\;{\tau}(t,\;y(t))),\;y'(t\;-\;{\sigma}(t,\;y(t)))),\;{t_1}\;{\leq}\;t\;{\leq}\;{t_f},}$$ where f : $[t_1,\;t_f]\;{\times}\;R\;{\times}\;R\;{\times}\;R\;{\rightarrow}\;R$ is a smooth function, $\tau(t,\;y(t))$ and $\sigma(t,\;y(t))$ are continuous functions on $[t_1,\;t_f]{\times}R$ such that t-$\tau(t,\;y(t))$ < $t_f$ and t - $\sigma(t,\;y(t))$ < $t_f$. Also $\phi(t)$ represents the initial function or the initial data. Hence, we present the advantage of using the multiquadric approximation scheme. In the sequel, presented numerical solutions of some experiments, illustrate the high accuracy and the efficiency of the proposed method even where the data points are scattered.

  • Objectives: Examine the difference of Chosun acupuncture from the acupuncture in Myung, Chung Dynasty Method: This paper examines the acupuncture mentioned in the classic of Introduction to Medicine For this, the special traits of Introduction to Medicine acupuncture was analyzed. Secondly, the research on the contents of Introduction to Medicine acupuncture quoted in the classic of Essential Rhymes of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Treasured Mirror of Eastern Medicine, and Experimental Prescriptions of Acupuncture and Moxibustion was carried out. Result: Introduction to Medicine put much importance on "method of acupuncture following the five circuits and six qi" (子午流注針法) and Song of Acupuncture and Moxibustion through comparing "eight methods of acupuncture following the five circuits and six qi" (子午八法) and "scattered needling method". The doctors in Chosun Dynasty, howevery, did not adopt this theory with their own standards on acupuncture. On the contrary, they put more importance on the inquiry of historical evidence on river point and extraordinary points. Conclusion: The acupuncture studies of Chosun Dynasty had already formed its own standards on the medical theories, and its direction to which it was headed was different from that of the Myung, and Chung Dynasty in China.

  • PURPOSES : The fundamental diagram provides basic information necessary in the analysis of traffic flow and highway operation. When traffic flow is congested, the density-flow points in the fundamental diagram are widely scattered and move in a stochastic manner. This paper investigates the pattern of density-flow point transitions and identifies car-following behaviors underlying the density-flow transitions. METHODS : From a microscopic analysis of 722 fundamental diagrams of NGSIM data, a total of 20 transition patterns of fundamental diagrams are identified. Prominent features of the transition patterns are explained by the behavior of the leader and follower. RESULTS : It is found out that the average speed and the speed difference between the leader and the follower critically determine the density-flow transition pattern. The density-flow path is very sensitive to the values of vehicle speed and spacing especially at low speed and high density such that most fluctuations in the fundamental diagram in the congested regime is due to the noise of speed and spacing variations. CONCLUSIONS : The result of this study suggests that the average speed, the speed difference between the leader and the follower, and the random variations of speed and spacing are dominant factors that explain the transition patterns of a fundamental diagram.

  • Second-order rate constants (kN) have been measured spectrophotometrically for reactions of Y-substituted phenyl benzoates (1a-h) with azide ion (N3) in 80 mol % H2O/20 mol % DMSO at 25.0 0.1 oC. The Brnsted-type plot for the azidolysis exhibits a downward curvature, i.e., the slope (b lg) changes from 0.97 to 0.20 as the basicity of the leaving group decreases. The pKao (defined as the pKa at the center of the Brnsted curvature) is 4.8, which is practically identical to the pKa of the conjugate acid of N3 ion (4.73). Hammett plots correlated with s o and s constants exhibit highly scattered points for the azidolysis. On the contrary, the corresponding Yukawa-Tsuno plot results in an excellent linear correlation with r = 2.45 and r = 0.40, indicating that the leaving group departs in the rate-determining step. The curved Brnsted-type plot has been interpreted as a change in the rate-determining step in a stepwise mechanism. The microscopic rate constants (k1 and k2/k1 ratio) have been calculated for the azidolysis and found to be consistent with the proposed mechanism.

  • In this study the contralateral breast skin dose was decreased. It was to apply the results to the clinical study after analysis of different radiation dose amounts to contralateral breast with nonmagnetic bolus and without nonmagnetic bolus. A Rando phantom was computed tomography (CT) simulated, five treatment plans were generated: open tangents, open field in field, wedge 15, wedge 30, and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plan with 50.4 Gy to cover sufficient breast tissue. Contralateral breast skin dose was measured at 8 points using a glass dosimeter. The average contralateral breast dose using nonmagnetic bolus showed better excellence in decreasing the absorbed dose in the order of $168{\pm}11.1$ cGy, $131{\pm}10.2$ cGy (29%), $112{\pm}9.7$ cGy (49%), and $102{\pm}9.5$ cGy (64%) than changing the treatment plan. This study focused on decreasing the effect of scattered dose by use of a nonmagnetic bolus on the contralateral breast during radiotherapy in breast cancer patients and an intriguingly significant decrease was observed parallel to the opposed beam.

  • The numerous applications surface interpolation include the modeling and visualization phenomena. A tetrahedrization is one of pre-processing steps for 4-D space interpolation. The quality of a piecewise linear interpolation 4-D space depends not only on the distribution of the data points in $R^2$, but also on the data values. We show that the quality of approximation can be improved by data dependent tetraheadrization through visualization of 4-D space. This paper discusses Delaunary tetrahedrization method(sphere criterion) and one of the data dependent tetrahedrization methods(least squares fitting criterion). This paper also discusses new data dependent criteria:1) gradient difference, and 2) jump in normal direction derivative.

  • The overall goal of a safety based railroad system is either to eliminate hazards in designing or to minimize the possibility of it. In order to indicate system safety or low risk although it may not be possible to achieve zero risk conditions, first, it shall ensure that any disasters would occur due to system operation because the prescribed specifications are properly fulfilled and there are no failures of any kind. Second, the risk of faults or failures leading to a mishap must be eliminated or minimized by using fault-tolerance or fail-safe procedures. This paper will attempt to summarize the personal and social risk criterion at widely scattered points, presently used as a safety approach in all over EU, in order to establish the step by step procedures of the detailed standard for railway facilities. In addition, we present the new safety analysis method using the SIL-based evaluation standard and the Reachability Graph of the Petri Net.

  • Secondary optical system designed for LED bulb which emits light in all directions was simulated with Energy Star standards. Components of the optical system were LED light source, the cover of the LED bulb and reflector which is to confirm the diffuser plate and LightTools software was used to design the illumination optics. The main points of the secondary optical system design are the location of the LED light source, the shape of the LED bulb cover, the location of the reflection plate, and the scattering properties of the diffusing plate. Mechanism of the LED bulb is that the light emitted from the light source move on to the backward after reflected by the coated light cover from the inside and then the reflected light is scattered by the diffuser plate. The LED bulb was designed to satisfy the standard light distribution and color specifications of the Energy Star(IES LM-79-08).
