All-optical signal processing is expected to offer advantages in speed and power consumption against over electronics signal processing. It has a potential to solve the bottleneck issues of ultra-high speed communication network nodes. All-optical serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-serial data converters would make it possible to easily process the serial data information of a high-speed optical packet without optical-to-electronic-to-optical data conversion. In this paper, we explain the principle of simple and easily expandable all-optical serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-serial data converters based on Mach-Zehnder interferometers. We experimentally demonstrate these data converters at 10Gbit/s serial data rate. They are useful all-optical devices for the all-optical implementations of label decoding, self-routing, control of variable packets, bit-wise logical operation, and data format conversion.

The present study aims at identifying the nature of the organizational patterns for serial management and thus providing an assitance for decision-making in regards to how the serials in an individual library be processed. The premise of the paper is that effective management is ensued from adopting proper organizational arrangement. In the first part. attempts are made to bring to the fore the problems inherent in serial management and the efforts made for possible solutions. The main portion of the paper eximines the two outstanding patterns; namely, the decentralized arrangement patterned after the traditional functions of a library and the centralized one integrating such functions as acquisition, cataloging and information service. Both are examined in light of nature, development, applicability, strengths and weeknesses. Automation is viewed as a strong force for a change in organizing serial work as it has already brought about organizational change in some large libraries. The general conclusion is that a large collection(5,000 active titles or more) has much to benefit from a separate, specialized department. which integrates the related functions; and the smaller collection can be effectively treated like the rest of the library materials, assigning a specific unit responsible for serial work and promoting an informal communication activities which would bring about coordination and coorperation for the free flow of serial work.

Since the beginning of discussions on serial collection management, as budgets have waxed and waned over the ensuing decades, a number of key variables affecting selection/deselection have emerged but without the framework of a coherent and accepted theoretical model. This study is an effort to identify variables which affect the serial collection decision with special attention to selection/deselection in the context of an academic health science library. Based on results from correlation analyses and logistic regression analyses, the serial collection decision can be explained and predicted using various combinations of a reduced set of objective variables. Applications of the results to libraries are discussed, and further research is proposed.

Background Giant congenital melanocytic nevus (GCMN) is a rare disease, for which complete surgical resection is recommended. However, the size of the lesions presents problems for the management of the condition. The most popular approach is to use a tissue expander; however, single-stage expansion in reconstructive surgery for GCMN cannot always address the entire defect. Few reports have compared tissue expansion techniques. The present study compared single and serial expansion to analyze the risk factors for complications and the surgical outcomes of the two techniques. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of patients who underwent tissue expander reconstruction between March 2011 and July 2019. Serial expansion was indicated in cases of anatomically obvious defects after the first expansion, limited skin expansion with two more expander insertions, or capsular contracture after removal of the first expander. Results Fifty-five patients (88 cases) were analyzed, of whom 31 underwent serial expansion. The number of expanders inserted was higher in the serial-expansion group (P<0.001). The back and lower extremities were the most common locations for single and serial expansion, respectively (P =0.043). Multivariate analysis showed that sex (odds ratio [OR], 0.257; P=0.015), expander size (OR, 1.016; P=0.015), and inflation volume (OR, 0.987; P=0.015) were risk factors for complications. Conclusions Serial expansion is a good option for GCMN management. We demonstrated that large-sized expanders and large inflation volumes can lead to complications, and therefore require risk-reducing strategies. Nonetheless, serial expansion with proper management is appropriate for certain patients and can provide aesthetically satisfactory outcomes.

Human-machine serial systems must be normal in both systems. Though the failure of machine is irreducible by itself, the human errors are of recurring type. When the human performance is described quantitatively, non-homogeneous Poisson Process model of human errors can be developed. And the model parameters can be estimated by maximum likelihood estimation and numerical analysis method. System reliability is obtained by multiplying machine reliability by human reliability.

SICI(Serial Item and Contribution Identifier) is intended primarily for use by those involved in the use or management of serial titles and their contributions. And SICI is a standard that is developed for interoperability and electronic data exchange because of increasing need of the unique resource identifier. This paper introduces metadata standard ANSI/NISO Z39.56 that relates serials management. And it examines applications and implementations of Z39.56 toward serials management.

Despite the importance and uses of serials in public libraries, the present condition of serial management is still behind. The purpose of this study is to investigate the problems and proposes the ways of improving serials management. For the purposes, this study conducted a literature review, case study of collection management policies of 8 regional central libraries and 3 public libraries abroad, and online questionnaire survey of 31 public libraries in Gyeong-gi province. Based on the results, this research suggests the need for extending the number and scope of serials subscriptions, improving access points and establishing management guidelines.

The focus of this paper is to develop the optimization procedures and analyze the complexities of the nonserial diverging branch systems in Dynamic Programming. The optimization procedure of the system is developed such that it helps to reduce the computational demands of the system. The complexity of the network is analyzed with the increasing number of nodes, branches and their connectedness to the main serial system. Determination of the optimal set of nodes for the main serial chain is also investigated.

Recently, a considerable number of studies have been conducted on pairing based cryptosystems. The efficiency of pairing based cryptosystems depends on finite fields, similar to existing public key cryptosystems. In general, pairing based ctyptosystems are defined over finite fields of chracteristic three, GF($3^m$), based on trinomials. A multiplication in GF($3^m$) is the most dominant operation. This paper proposes a new most significant digit(MSD)-first digit- serial multiplier. The proposed MSD-first digit-serial multiplier has the same area complexity compared to previous multipliers, since the modular reduction step is performed in parallel. And the critical path delay is reduced from 1MUL+(log ${\lceil}n{\rceil}$+1)ADD to 1MUL+(log ${\lceil}n+1{\rceil}$)ADD. Therefore, when the digit size is not $2^k$, the time delay is reduced by one addition.
