The problem of incomplet state feedback began to appear late in60's and early in 70's. This was motivated by inability to measure all the states of the system in practice. This survey paper traces the early developments in the subject through to the most recent achievement of gain-determining, pole-assignment, stabilization, and low sensitivity system design with output feedback.

The literature suggested that a small reduction in overall blood pressure can have a large effect on overall prevalence of hypertension, and therefore, the affect of taste preferences of the population on salt intake should be considered for long-term blood pressure intervention programs. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of salt taste preference and salt taste sensitivity on salt intake behavior as risk factors for high blood pressure. We collected information on blood pressure, diet and lifestyle behaviors, salt taste preference and salt taste sensitivity from 540 respondents from Suseo-dong, Seoul. Salt taste sensitivity was assessed by administering a 1% NaCl solution to the subject's tongue and measuring the perceived intensity on 10 level scale. Salt intake behavior was classified into 3 categories: frequency of high-sodium foods, practice of salt-reducing behavior and frequency of vegetable and fruit intake. Salt taste preference showed a significant relation to the subjects' blood pressure, i.e. subjects with a higher salt preference had higher blood pressure. Salt taste sensitivity did not show a significant relation to blood pressure. However, there was a positive correlation between salt taste preference and salt taste sensitivity. Among the 3 indicators used to measure salt intake behavior, the practice of salt-reducing behavior remained significantly correlated to blood pressure. Moreover, salt-reducing behavior and salt taste preference showed a significant correlation, i.e. people who do not like salty foods tend to practice more salt-reducing behavior, leading to reduced levels in blood pressure. In a population, a small reduction in overall blood pressure can have large effects in overall prevalence of hypertension, in contrast to clinical studies where achievement of an individual's normal blood pressure is emphasized. Therefore, taste preference of the population should be considered for long-term blood pressure intervention programs.

본 연구의 목적은 필름/증감지 방식에서 사용된 비감도 측정 방식을 이용하여 컴퓨터 방사선영상에서 영상판의 상대적 발광량을 평가하고자 하였다. 비감도 측정을 위한 특성곡선은 균일한 알루미늄으로 구성된 11 계단의 투과도계를 이용하였다. 디지털 방사선영상을 획득하기 위한 X선 조사조건은 50 kVp, 10 mAs로 조절했다. 영상후처리 알고리즘(MUSICA)의 모든 파라메터들은 제로화하여 원본 데이터에 근사화하였고 레이저 조사분류(exposure class)는 200으로 고정하였다. 영상판의 상대적 발광량 모델링은 X선 조사후 0, 4, 8, 12, 24 시간 보관한 영상판을 이용하였다. 그 결과, 컴퓨터 방사선영상시스템의 영상판 비감도 측정에 필요한 감도점 농도는 모든 특성곡선을 상대적으로 측정하기 용이한 2000 픽셀(pixel) 값이 적합하였다. 또한 영상판의 비감도가 저하될 때 영상신호를 생성하기 위한 빛 발광량도 감소하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 비감도 평가방법은 컴퓨터 방사선영상시스템에서 영상판의 상대적 발광량을 평가할 수 있는 기술로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

목적: 칼라 필터렌즈를 사용하여 대비감도의 변화를 알아보고 임상에 필요한 매뉴얼을 제시하고자 하였다. 방법: 정상 시각을 가진 성인 남녀 20명을 대상으로 황색, 오렌지색, 녹색 필터렌즈를 사용하여 대비감도를 측정했다. 다섯 개의 공간주파수 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 cpd를 사용하였으며 표적의 노출시간은 33 ms, 233 ms로 설정했다. 결과: 대비감도는 전체적으로 표적의 노출시간이 짧은 33 nm보다 233 ms에서 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 순간적인 노출(33 ms)에서 대비감도가 가장 높게 나타난 필터렌즈는 2 cpd에서의 황색(1.75 log unit)이었으나 233 ms에서는 8 cpd에서 필터를 삽입하지 않았을 때(1.85 log unit)가 가장 예민한 것으로 나타났지만 황색, 오렌지색 간 차이는 서로 근소하여 통계적 의미는 없었다(p>0.64). 결론: 색수차와 산란현상을 감소시켜 시기능을 개선시키는 황색 계열의 필터렌즈는 시기능 개선을 위한 다양한 목적으로 처방이 되고 있다. 필터렌즈를 처방하기에 앞서 cut off 파장을 고려한 필터렌즈의 특성을 파악하고 사용자의 특성과 필터렌즈의 사용 목적을 분명하게 확인할 것을 제안하는 바이다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to report the effect of Traditional Korean Medicine(TKM) on cold sensitivity of hands and feet. And we wanted that cold sensitivity of hands and feet was measured objectively and diagnosed definitely using Digital Infrared Thermographic Imaging(DITI). Methods: The patient in this case was a 29-year-old female. The chief complaint was cold sensitivity of hands and feet. We treated her by TKM and evaluated the progress of symptoms by DITI. And then we compared DITI before treatment and after treatment. Results: After TKM treatment, the differences of temperature of hands and feet were decreased on DITI, respectively. Conclusion: TKM treatment is effective on cold sensitivity of hands and feet. And DITI would be valid to measure for treatment's effect of cold sensitivity of hands and feet.

An ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) with Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model is applied for Typhoon Wukong (200610) to investigate the performance of ensemble forecasts depending on experimental configurations of the EnKF. In addition, the ensemble sensitivity analysis is applied to the forecast and analysis ensembles generated in EnKF, to investigate the possibility of using the ensemble sensitivity analysis as the adaptive observation guidance. Various experimental configurations are tested by changing model error, ensemble size, assimilation time window, covariance relaxation, and covariance localization in EnKF. First of all, experiments using different physical parameterization scheme for each ensemble member show less root mean square error compared to those using single physics for all the forecast ensemble members, which implies that considering the model error is beneficial to get better forecasts. A larger number of ensembles are also beneficial than a smaller number of ensembles. For the assimilation time window, the experiment using less frequent window shows better results than that using more frequent window, which is associated with the availability of observational data in this study. Therefore, incorporating model error, larger ensemble size, and less frequent assimilation window into the EnKF is beneficial to get better prediction of Typhoon Wukong (200610). The covariance relaxation and localization are relatively less beneficial to the forecasts compared to those factors mentioned above. The ensemble sensitivity analysis shows that the sensitive regions for adaptive observations can be determined by the sensitivity of the forecast measure of interest to the initial ensembles. In addition, the sensitivities calculated by the ensemble sensitivity analysis can be explained by dynamical relationships established among wind, temperature, and pressure.

In this study, we try to compare different intensity measures for evaluating nonlinear response of bridge structure. This paper presents seismic analytic fragility of a three-span concrete girder highway bridge. A complete detail of bridge modeling parameters and also its verification has been presented. Fragility function considers the relationship of intensities of the ground motion and probability of exceeding certain state of damage. Incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) has been subjected to the bridge from medium to strong ground motions. A suite of 20 earthquake ground motions with different range of PGAs are used in nonlinear dynamic analysis of the bridge. Complete sensitive analyses have been done on the response of bridge and also efficiency and practically of them are studied to obtain a proficient intensity measure for these types of structure by considering its sensitivity to the period of the bridge. Three dimensional finite element (FE) model of the bridge is developed and analyzed. The numerical results show that the bridge response is very sensitive to the earthquake ground motions when PGA and Sa (Ti, 5%) are used as intensity measure (IM) and also indicated that the failure probability of the bridge system is dominated by the bridge piers.

Thus far, several in vivo biosensing platforms have been proposed to measure the mechanical contractility of cultured cardiomyocytes. However, the low sensitivity and screening rate of the developed sensors severely limit their practical applications. In addition, intensive research and development in cardiovascular disease demand a high-throughput drug-screening platform based on biomimetic engineering. To overcome the drawbacks of the current state-of-the-art methods, we propose a high-throughput drug-screening platform based on 16 functional high-sensitivity well plates. The proposed system simulates the physiological accuracy of the heart function in an in vitro environment. We fabricated 64 cantilevers using highly flexible and optically transparent silicone rubber and placed in 16 independent wells. Nanogrooves were imprinted on the surface of the cantilever to promote cell alignment and maturation. The adverse effects of the cardiovascular drugs on the cultured cardiomyocytes were systematically investigated. The 64 cantilevers demonstrated a highly reliable and reproducible mechanical contractility of the drug-treated cardiomyocytes. Real-time high-throughput screening and simultaneous evaluation of the cardiomyocyte mechanical contractility under multiple drugs verified that the proposed system could be used as an efficient drugtoxicity test platform.
