Background The indications for surgical airway management in patients with Robin sequence (RS) and severe airway obstruction have not been well defined. While certain patients with RS clearly require surgical airway intervention and other patients just as clearly can be managed with conservative measures alone, a significant proportion of patients with RS present with a more confusing and ambiguous clinical course. The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical features and objective findings of patients with RS whose airways were successfully managed without surgical intervention. Methods The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of infants with RS evaluated for potential surgical airway management between 1994 and 2014. Patients who were successfully managed without surgical intervention were included. Patient demographics, nutritional and respiratory status, laboratory values, and polysomnography (PSG) findings were recorded. Results Thirty-two infants met the inclusion criteria. The average hospital stay was 16.8 days (range, 5-70 days). Oxygen desaturation (<70% by pulse oximetry) occurred in the majority of patients and was managed with temporary oxygen supplementation by nasal cannula (59%) or endotracheal intubation (31%). Seventy-five percent of patients required a temporary nasogastric tube for nutritional support, and a gastrostomy tube placed was placed in 9%. All patients continued to gain weight following the implementation of these conservative measures. PSG data (n=26) demonstrated mild to moderate obstruction, a mean apneahypopnea index (AHI) of $19.2{\pm}5.3events/hour$, and an oxygen saturation level <90% during only 4% of the total sleep time. Conclusions Nonsurgical airway management was successful in patients who demonstrated consistent weight gain and mild to moderate obstruction on PSG, with a mean AHI of <20 events/hour.

This study developed an integrated management framework for KM, consisting of four major management objects and organizational initiatives: managerial and technical initiatives. Based on the developed framework, it proposes a stage model of organizational KM from Initiation, Propagation, Integration to Networking stage with detail explanations focusing on management goals and activities. To validate the proposed stage model, this study conducted a preliminary study with a latent content analysis of 15 KM cases. Form the results, though is could not validate the time sequence of each stage because of the limited information of cases, it shows meaningful findings in that there are a kind of relationship among management goals, activities and characteristics of management object of cases.

We iteratively generate a sequence of measurable mappings and study necessary conditions for its convergence to a random fixed point of random nonexpansive operator. A random fixed point theorem for random nonexpansive operator, relaxing the convexity condition on the underlying space, is also proved. As an application, we obtained random fixed point theorems for Caristi type random operators.

In this paper, we generalize lifted inequalities to a 0-1 mixed-integer bilinear covering set with linear terms. This work is motivated by the observation that Generalized Bilinear Inequality (GBI) occurs in the Branch and Bound process. We find some conditions and prove the subadditivity of lifting functions for lifting to be sequence-independent. Using the theoretical results, we develop facet-defining inequalities for a GBI-defined set through three steps of lifting.

In this paper, we Propose the Job-Pair Comparison (JPC) rule to minimize total tardiness in a single machine. For this purpose we derive conditional expression to choose the desirable job sequence. We also prove the transitivity of JPC rule, to prevent cycle and to decrease the complexity of comparison.

본 논문에서는 비디오 스트림 서버에서 의미 기반 검색을 가능하게 하기 위하여 대용량 스트림 데이터를 효과적으로 표현하고 저장하는 기법을 제시한다. 비디오 스트림 내의 각 프레임을 다차원 공간상의 점으로 사상함으로써 비디오 스트림은 다차원 시퀀스(multidimensional sequence)로 표현되고, 이 시퀀스는 다시 비디오 세그먼트로 분할된다. 분할된 세그먼트로부터 정적인 특성과 연속된 프레임의 움직임을 나타내는 트랜드 벡터(trend vector)등의 의미 정보를 추출하여 모델링 함으로서 스트림 데이터를 효과적으로 표현한다. 또한 제안된 기법은 효율적인 검색을 위하여 비디오 세그먼트를 인덱싱하고 저장하는 방법을 제공함으로써 공간 사용의 효율성을 높이고 신속한 검색을 가능하게 한다.

In planning an assembly system, choosing the proper assembly sequence is one of the most important decisions because it significantly affects the costs associated with the assembly process. This paper deals with the selection of assembly sequences in flexible assembly systems. The selection criterion is the minimization of makespan to complete all assembly products. This problem is formulated as a "modified FAS scheduling problem" (MFASSP) and its scheduling procedure is described. The experimental results show that the procedure is very efficient for both quality of solution and computation time.

This paper considers the problem of testing a one-sided hypothesis under the generalized sampling plan which is defined by a sequence of independent Bernoulli trials. A certain lexicographic order is defined for the boundary points of the sampling plan. It is shown that the family of probability mass function defined on the boundary points has monotone likelihood ratio, and that the test function is uniformly most powerful.

This paper discusses algorithmic properties of a class of complementarity programs involving strictly diagonally isotone and off-diagonally isotone functions, i. e., functions whose Jacobian matrices have positive diagonal elements and nonnegative off-diagonal elements, A typical traffic equilibrium under elastic demands is cast into this class. Algorithmic properties of these complementarity problems, when a Jacobi-type iteration is applied, are investigated. It is shown that with a properly chosen starting point the generated sequence are decomposed into two converging monotonic subsequences. This and related will be useful in developing solution procedures for this class of complementarity problems.

In this study, an efficient algorithm is developed to compute steady state probabilities for the following M$_{x}$G/1 server vacation system under control-operating poligy: At the end of a busy period, the server takes a sequence of vacations, each for a random amount of time. At the end of each vacation, he inspects the length of the queue. If the queue length at this time is equal to or greater than a prespecified threshold value r, he begins to serve the queue until it is empty.y.
