능동 위상 배열 레이더(AESA Radar: Active Electronically Scanned Array radar)는 전자적으로 빔을 조향함으로써 빔 조향 시간이 비약적으로 빨라져 기존의 기계식 빔 조향 레이더에 비해 레이더에서 수행할 수 있는 다중 임무 처리 능력이 크게 향상되었다. 이러한 이유로 레이더에 주어진 시간, 에너지, 처리 능력 등의 한정된 자원을 실시간으로 효율적으로 관리, 운용할 수 있는 레이더 자원 관리 기술의 중요성이 크게 대두되었다. 그 중 레이더 빔 스케줄링 기술은 레이더 자원 관리의 핵심적인 요소라 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 simulated annealing을 이용한 추계적 레이더 빔 스케줄링 알고리즘을 제안하고, 이를 기존의 dispatching rule에 기반한 빔 스케줄링 기법과 비교하였다. 빔 처리 지연도(latency)와 주어진 시간 내에서 처리할 수 있는 빔의 개수 측면에서 스케줄링 결과를 비교하여 성능의 우월성을 입증하였으며, 또한 실시간성을 보장하면서도 기존의 규칙 기반 알고리즘보다 성능이 우수함을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 산술 연산을 수행하는 연산자의 수가 많은 펑션유닛의 입력 데이터의 스위칭을 최소화하여 소비 전력을 줄인다. 따라서 회로전체의 전력 소모를 줄이기 위해 연산자가 소모하는 전력을 우선적으로 최소화하는 것은 전력 감소의 큰 효과를 가진다. 본 논문은 VLSI회로에서 전력소비에 가장 영향을 많이 미치는 펑션유닛의 연산과정에서 소비하는 전력을 최소화하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 펑션유닛에서 모든 연산은 전력소비 정보를 가진 전력 라이브러리를 이용하여 피연산자를 스케줄링한다. 전력 라이브러리는 펑션유닛의 모든 입력에 대해 각각의 컨트롤 스텝마다 입력 데이터의 정보를 갱신하고, 그 정보는 스케줄링 과정에서 사용되어진다. 따라서 모든 연산에서 최적화된 데이터를 펑션유닛의 입력으로 하여 전력소비를 최소화 할 수 있다. 본 논문은 상위 레벨 합성 과정에서 펑션유닛에 대한 최소의 전력소비를 위하여 제안하는 알고리즘을 적용하여 실험한 결과 최대 9.4%의 전력 감소효과가 있었다.

Background Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains high concentrations of growth factors involved in wound healing. Hydrogel is a 3-dimensional, hydrophilic, high-molecular, reticular substance generally used as a dressing formulation to accelerate wound healing, and also used as a bio-applicable scaffold or vehicle. This study aimed to investigate the effects of PRP and hydrogel on wound healing, in combination and separately, in an animal wound model. Methods A total of 64 wounds, with 2 wounds on the back of each nude mouse, were classified into 4 groups: a control group, a hydrogel-only group, a PRP-only group, and a combined-treatment group. All mice were assessed for changes in wound size and photographed on scheduled dates. The number of blood vessels was measured in all specimens. Immunohistochemical staining was used for the analysis of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. Results Differences in the decrease and change in wound size in the combined-treatment group were more significant than those in the single-treatment groups on days 3, 5, 7, and 10. Analysis of the number of blood vessels through histological examination showed a pattern of increase over time that occurred in all groups, but the combined-treatment group exhibited the greatest increase on days 7 and 14. Immunohistochemical staining showed that VEGF expression in the combined-treatment group exhibited its highest value on day 7. Conclusions This experiment demonstrated improved wound healing using a PRP-hydrogel combined treatment compared to either treatment individually, resulting in a decrease in wound size and a shortening of the healing period.

The characterization of the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process for undensified phophosilicate glass (PSG) film is reported using design of experiments (DOE). DOE has been used by experimenters to understand the relationship between the input variables and responses of interest in a simple and efficient way, and it typically is beneficial for determining the appropriatesize of experiments with multiple process variables and making statistical inferences for the responses of interest. The equipment controllable parameters used to operate the machine consist of the down force of the wafer carrier, pressure on the back side wafer, table and spindle speeds (SS), slurry flow (SF) rate, pad condition, etc. None of these are independent ofeach other and, thus, the interaction between the parameters also needs to be understoodfor improved process characterization in CMP. In this study, we selected the five controllable equipment parameters the most recommendedby process engineers, viz. the down force (DF), back pressure (BP), table speed (TS), SS, and SF, for the characterization of the CMP process with respect to the material removal rate and film uniformity in percentage terms. The polished material is undensified PSG which is widely used for the plananization of multi-layered metal interconnects. By statistical modeling and the analysis of the metrology data acquired from a series of $2^{5-1}$ fractional factorial designs with two center points, we showed that the DF, BP and TS have the greatest effect on both the removal rate and film uniformity, as expected. It is revealed that the film uniformity of the polished PSG film contains two and three-way interactions. Therefore, one can easily infer that process control based on a better understanding of the process is the key to success in current semiconductor manufacturing, in which the size of the wafer is approaching 300 mm and is scheduled to continuously increase up to 450 mm in or slightly after 2012.

Background: Preemptive analgesia may decrease postoperative pain by preventing nociceptive inputs generated during surgery. The preemptive effect of intravenous nalbuphine was examined in gynecological surgery. Methods: Forty female patients scheduled for gynecological surgery were randomly allocated into two groups. Each patient received 10 mg of intravenous nalbuphine as a bolus dose at the closure of peritoneum in group I (n=20) and before the skin incision in group II (n=20). After the bolus dose, the intravenous patient controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) which contained 50 mg of nalbuphine, 120 mg of ketorolac, 0.25 mg of droperidol and 90 ml of 5% dextrose water was given continuously at the rate of 2 ml/min. The postoperative visual analogue scale pain score (VAS), the total amount of the analgesics used, the degree of satisfaction of the patients and the developement of side effects were examined for 2 days. Results: VAS were significantly lower in group II than in group I after 9 and 12 hours. The cumulative consumption of analgesics in group II was significantly less than in group I. Most patients were satisfied with this regimen. There were no remarkable side effects. Conclusions: Preemptive analgesia with intravenous nalbuphine decreased postoperative pain and analgesic requirement. The analgesic effect of IV-PCA with nalbuphine-ketorolac was effective in control of postoperative pain in gynecologic surgery.

Background: Evidence has accumulated that opioids can produce potent antinociceptive effects by interacting with opioid receptors in peripheral tissues. Bupivacaine has a potent analgesic effect with early peak onset in the postoperative period. The combination of intrapelvic bupivacaine and morphine has been suggested as an ideal analgesic after endoscopic pelvic surgery. Methods: Sixty patients scheduled for endoscopic pelvic surgery under general anesthesia were allocated randomly to three groups. Group 1 received normal saline 20 ml, group 2 received morphine 5 mg in normal saline 20 ml, and group 3 received morphine 5 mg in 0.25% bupivacaine 20 ml into the pelvic cavity. Postoperative pain was assessed using the visual analogue scale at 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours after the intrapelvic instillation. Supplemental analgesic requirements, vital signs, and side effects were recorded for 24 hours. Results: Intrapelvic morphine and bupivacaine produced significant analgesia after endoscopic pelvic surgery. The patients in group 3 had lower pain scores than those in the group 1 and 2 at 1, 2 and 4th hours. There were no significant differences in the pain scores at 8 hours and 24 hours postoperatively between group 2 and 3. Supplemental analgesic requirements were significantly greater in the groups 1 and 2 than the group 3 for 24 hours. No significant side effects occurred. Conclusion: The intrapelvic instillation of morphine and bupivacaine is effective for the postoperative pain control in patients undergoing endoscopic pelvic surgery.

The effect of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on cerebral physiology during heart surgery remains incompletely understood. This study was carried out to investigate changes of cerebral metabolism and the association between the changes and clinical factors during heart surgery. Seventy adult patients (n=70) scheduled for elective cardiac surgery were participated in the present study. Middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity (V$_{MCA}$), cerebral arteriovenous oxygen content difference (C(a-v)O$_2$), cerebral oxygen extraction (COE), and modified cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen (MCMRO$_2$) were measured during six phases of the operation; Pre-CPB, CPB-10 min, Rewarm-1 (nasopharyngeal temperature 34$^{\circ}C$), Rewarm-2 (nasopharyngeal temperature 37$^{\circ}C$), CPB-off, and Post-OP (at skin closure after CPB-off). Each relationship of age, arterial blood gas parameters, or other variables to V$_{MCA}2$, C(a-v)O$_2$, COE, or MCMRO$_2$ was evaluated. V$_{MCA}$ increased (P<0.0001) whereas C(a-v)O$_2$ decreased (P<0.01) throughout the five phases of the operation compared to Pre-CPB value (control). COE diminished at CPB-10, Rewarm-1, and CPB-off (P<0.05) while MCMRO$_2$ reduced at CPB-10 and Rewarm-1 (P<0.05) compared to Pre-CPB value. Positive correlation was found between age and cerebral metabolic parameters (V$_{MCA}$, C(a-v)O$_2$, COE, or MCMRO$_2$) during CPB (range r=0.24 to 0.38, p<0.05). Four cerebral metabolic parameters had partially negative or positive correlation with arterial blood gas parameters and other variables (arterial blood pH, $O_2$ tension, $O_2$ content, $CO_2$ tension, blood pressure, blood flow, temperature, or hematocrit) during the operation. In conclusion, CPB led to marked alterations of cerebral metabolism and age, pH, and $CO_2$ tension profoundly influenced the changes during cardiac surgery.

Background: Nefopam is a centrally acting analgesic that is used to control pain. The aim of this study was to find an appropriate dose of nefopam that demonstrates an analgesic effect when administered in continuous infusion with fentanyl at the end of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: Ninety patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly assigned to receive analgesia with fentanyl alone (50 ${\mu}g$, Group 1, n = 30), or with fentanyl in combination with nefopam 20 mg (Group 2, n = 30) or in combination with nefopam 40 mg (Group 3, n = 30) at the end of surgery. Pain and side effects were evaluated at 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 6 hours, and 12 hours after arrival in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). Results: Pain was statistically significantly lower in Groups 2 and 3 than in Group 1 at 10 minutes, 2 hours, and 6 hours after arrival in the PACU. Nausea was statistically significantly lower in Group 2 than in Groups 1 and 3 at 10 minutes after arrival in the PACU. Shivering was statistically significantly lower in Groups 2 and 3 than in Group 1 at 10 minutes after arrival in the PACU. Conclusions: Nefopam is a drug that can be safely used as an analgesic after surgery, and its side effects can be reduced when fentanyl 50 ${\mu}g$ is injected with nefopam 20 mg.
