An efficient mobility management for mobile stations plays an important role in mobile communication network. This paper studios a zone-based registration (ZBR) that is implemented in most of mobile communication systems. We introduce the mobility management scheme that combines a zone-based registration and a selective paging (SP) and analyze its performance. We set up an analytical model based on 2-dimensional random walk mobility model and evaluate the performance of the proposed mobility management scheme using the model to determine the optimal size of location area which will result in the minimum signaling traffic on radio channels. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed mobility management scheme under various circumstances.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to find the limited patterns of middle-aged women in selective functional movement evaluation and analyze the effects of pattern improvement exercises and general control groups on the Health Risk Appraisal (HRA). Design: Randomized controlled trial. Methods: The 31 subjects were physically healthy middle-aged women aged 40-59 living in Seoul, The subjects were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. Forty-three physically healthy women were originally recruited and randomly assigned to either the experimental group (n=22) or the control group (n=21). However, due to lack of participation, a total of seventeen subjects in the exercise group and fourteen subjects in the control group participated in the study. All subjects were tested using Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) and HRA for the baseline measurement and joined an exercise program of their group for one hour per session, twice a week for four weeks. The experimental group was provided with the corrective exercises and the control group was given the general fitness program. A follow-up test was conducted after eight weeks from the baseline measurement. Results: Both experimental and control group showed significant changes in SFMA and HRA scores (p<0.05). In the experimental group and control groups, the SFMA and HRA showed significant improvement from baseline to 4 weeks (p<0.05). Also, in the experimental group, the SFMA was significantly improved from baseline to 8 weeks (p<0.05). For the experimental group, there was a significant improvement in SFMA after 4 weeks compared to the control group (p<0.05). Conclusions: The corrective exercise in the experimental group had a positive effect on the SFMA score as well as the general squat exercise in the control group. The corrective exercise and general control group had the same positive effect on the HRA score.

Selective Optimization with Compensation (SOC), a concept defined by Baltes and Baltes, is known to predict successful aging. This study was conducted to find out which factors affect Korean elderly people SOC The data for this study were obtained from a survey conducted between March and May 2001, on a sample of middle-class male and female participants over 60 years old. Two hundred and fifty four completed questionnaires were used for final analyses. Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Duncan test, Pearson correlations, multiple regressions, multiple response frequencies and sequential threshold methods were used to analyze the data. In order to measure successful aging, the Selective Optimization with Compensation Scale developed by Baltes, Baltes, Freud, and Lang (1996) was used. The SOC scale consists of four subscales, Elective Selection, Loss-based Selection, Optimization, and Compensation. The major findings are summarized in the following. First, the level of SOC by various socio-demographic variables was examined. It tuned out that health status is the most important variable in predicting SOC. Also important was satisfaction with family life. Second, significant correlations were found between SOC and duration of the marriage (negative), practicing a religion, health, and economic stability (all positive). Third, religion and health status affected SOC, but health was a stronger predictor Those who practiced a religion and were healthy had a higher score in SOC as a whole. Fourth, the participants were divided into three groups by their SOC score, and their idea.; of successful aging were compared. The top- and middle-score groups considered satisfaction with family life to be more important, whereas the bottom-score group regarded the social status as more important.

Background: Selective transforaminal epidural block (STEB) has showen effectiveness as a diagnostic and therapeutic option for the management of patients with low back pain or sciatica. This study was carried out in order to determine the short-term effects and prognostic factors associated with STEB in patients with low back pain or sciatica. Methods: Ninety-seven patients were selectedfor participation in this study. Their diagnosis were based werewason the clinical symptoms and MRI findings. We performed STEB under fluoroscopic guidance and injected 3 ml of radio opaque dye in order to confirm the technical success of the procedure. We then injected 20 mg of triamcinolone mixed into 3 ml of 0.5% mepivacaine. One month later, we classified the patient outcomes as excellent, good, moderate or poor, according to the degree of reduction in VAS score from baseline. The independent variables assessed included symptom duration, block level, number of blocks, primary diagnosis, prior caudal block, anterior epidural space filling of dye, medication history, demographic data, radiating pain, back surgery and spondylolisthesis. Results: At a mean follow-up period of 1 month after STEB, excellent results were noted in the patients diagnosed with herniated lumbar disc (70%), non-specific spondylosis (54%), spinal stenosis (44%), and failed back syndrome (28%). The patients with epidural adhesion and combined spondylolisthesis were associated with poorer outcomes. Combined caudal block, symptom duration and the extent of epidural spread of the drug were not related to the effectiveness of the treatment. Conclusions: Selective transforaminal epidural block is effective in treating patients with radiculopathy, such as herniated lumbar disc, but it isrelatively ineffective in treating patients with structural deformities, such as failed back syndrome and spondylolisthesis.

An efficient location management for mobile stations plays an important role in mobile communication network. This paper studies a movement-based registration(MBR) method with a selective paging scheme. In the movement-based registration method, a mobile station performs a location registration when the number of cell boundary crossings since the last registration equals to the given movement threshold. In the selective paging scheme, the network first partitions the location area of the called mobile station into a number of subareas and then pages each subarea one after another until the MS is found. To reduce the paging and registration load, we propose a modified MBR(MMBR) method in the aspect of minimization of signaling traffic on radio channels. First, we propose a new establishment of the paging area to reduce the paging load on radio channels and then analyze its effects. Next, we propose the MMBR to reduce the registration load. Numerical results show that our proposed movement-based registration provides the better performance compared with the conventional method.

이 논문은 무선 센서 네트워크에서 최소 파워 구성 방법을 이용하여 에너지를 효율적으로 사용하면서 네트워크의 수명을 늘리고 지연(delay)을 줄이는 방안을 제시한다. 지금까지 에너지를 효율적으로 사용하기 위해 topology control, power-aware routing, sleep management 방법을 각각 독립적으로 연구되었는데 최소파워 구성은 위의 3가지 방법을 통합 최적화하여 에너지 효율적 사용 문제에 접근한다. 이러한 최소파워 구성 방법을 이용하여 선택적 웨이트 컨트롤(Selective weight control) 알고리즘을 제안하여 네트워크 전체 수명을 연장시키고 지연을 줄일 수 있다. 이 알고리즘은 각 노드가 주기적으로 잔류에너지를 인접노드들과 공유하여 에너지 랭크(rank)값을 유지한 상태에서 최소 에너지 경로를 사용하면서 에너지가 주위 노드들보다 작아질 때는 에너지가 많은 노드가 경로에 포함이 되도록 하여 특정 노드가 에너지 고갈되지 않고 네트워크내의 각 노드가 고르게 에너지를 소모하게 한다.

The potential therapeutic benefit of nicotinic ligands in a variety of neurodegenerative pathologies involving the CNS has energized research efforts to develop nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtype-selective ligands. In particular, there has been a concerted effort to develop nicotinic compounds with selectivity for CNS nAChRs as potential pharmacological tools in the management of these disorders. The characterization of other novel nicotinic ligands such as epibatidine. showing a marked increase in potency at nAChRs, has provided additional support for the development of potent, selective ligands at individual nAChR subtypes. We have developed and studied a number of nicotinic compounds to identify potential candidates exhibiting such selectivity. In the present study, we report the synthesis and biological evaluations of some azabicyclic and azatricyclic nicotine analogs to decipher the relationship among steric requirements of the nicotine's pyrrolidine ring system, binding affinity and subtype-selectivity.

Hemodynamically significant preterm patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) affects mortality; comorbidities such as necrotizing enterocolitis, intraventricular hemorrhage, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia; and adverse long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm infants, particularly in very low birth weight infants. However, recent studies have indicated that there is no consensus on the causal relationship between PDA and neonatal outcomes, the benefit of PDA treatment, the factors guiding the need for treatment, and optimal treatment strategies. Such uncertainty has resulted in wide variations in practice for treating preterm PDA between units, regions, and nations. Nowadays, there has been a paradigm shift to more conservative treatment for preterm PDA, and suggestions regarding selective management of preterm PDA considering risk factors and hemodynamic significance are increasing. Neonatologist-performed echocardiography and advances in modalities to assess hemodynamic significance such as biologic markers and near-infrared spectroscopy also help improve the efficacy of selective treatment of preterm PDA.
