Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure changes in the H-reflex and V wave under loading conditions (e.g. prone and standing position) and to investigate whether postural change would affect the H-reflex and V wave in post stroke hemiplegic patients. Methods: Thirty persons with hemiplegia resulting from stroke (20 males, 10 females) participated in this study. Electromyography (EMG) was used to electrically stimulate and record the soleus H-reflexes and V waves under various loading conditions. The normality of the distribution of each variable (H latency, $H_{max}/M_{max}$ ratio, $V_{max}/M_{max}$ ratio) was tested using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The means of normally distributed continuous data were assessed by independent t-test (${\alpha}$=0.05). Results: There were statistically significant differences in $H_{max}/M_{max}$ ratio (p<0.01), $V_{max}/M_{max}$ ratio (p<0.01), H latency (p<0.01) among the prone and standing position. Conclusion: We found that the H-reflex and V wave in standing position was more active to weight bearing load than prone position.

클러스터링은 상호 의존적 구성에 필요한 구조적인 기술이다. 클러스터링은 가변적 업무부하를 처리하거나, 서비스 연속성을 저해하는 고장 발생 시 운영이 계속되도록 여러대의 컴퓨터시스템 기능을 서로 연결하는 메커니즘이다. 고 가용성 클러스터링 기능은 가능한 오랜시간 서버 시스템이 작동하는데 중점을 둔다. 이 클러스터 는 멀티플 시스템에서 실행되는 노드와 서비스를 중복하여 가지고 있어서 서로가 서로를 추적할 수 있다. Active-Standby 상태의 두 시스템이 있을 경우 활성 서버에 장애가 발생했을 때 모든 서비스가 대기 서버에서 구동돼 서비스가 이루어진다. 이 기능을 절체 또는 스위치오버(switchover)라 한다. 고가용성 클러스터링 기능은 가능한 오랜시간 서버 시스템이 작동하는데 중점을 둔다. 이 클러스터는 멀티플 시스템 에서 실행되는 노드와 서비스를 중복하여 가지고 있어서 서로가 서로를 추적할 수 있다. 한 노드가 장애 발생 시 둘째 노드가 몇초 이내에 고장 난 노드 임무를 수행한다. 고가용성 클러스터링 구조는 효율성 여부가 측정되어야 한다. 시스템 성능은 인프라시스템의 performance, latency, 응답시간(response Time), CPU 부하율(CPU utilization), CPU상의 시스템 프로세스(system process)수로 대표된다.

멀티미디어 스트리밍을 위해 널리 사용되고 있는 스케일러블 비디오 코딩 (Scalable Video Coding: SVC)의 경우 가변적인 네트워크 상황에 적응적으로 대처하기 위해 기본 계층과 향상 계층으로 나누어 데이터를 인코딩하여 전송하게 된다. 특히 향상 계층의 디코딩은 기본 계층의 데이터가 수신되었을 때 가능하다는 특성을 가지고 있다. 이러한 특성에도 불구하고 IEEE 802.11 무선랜에서의 재전송 기법은 기본/향상 계층의 특성을 고려하지 않고 설계되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 스케일러블 비디오 코딩의 특성을 고려한 새로운 재전송 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 재전송 기법은 기본 계층과 향상 계층을 나누어서 채널상태에 따라 디코딩에 필요한 수 만큼의 데이터를 재전송하여 불필요한 재전송을 방지하고 총 전송시간을 감소시킨다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안한 재전송 기법이 기존의 재전송 기법보다 불필요한 데이터 전송을 12.6% 감소시키며 이로 인해 전송 시간도 6.6~19.1% 만큼 감소됨을 보여준다.

The objective on this project is to develop a cooperative Field Robot (FR), by using a customize Open Control Platform (OCP) as design and development process. An OCP is a CORBA-based solution for networked control system, which facilitates the transitioning of control designs to embedded targets. In order to achieve the cooperation surveillance system, two FRs are distributed by navigation messages (GPS and sensor data) using CORBA event-channel communication, while graphical information from IR night vision camera is distributed using CORBA Asynchronous Method Invocation (AMI). The QoS features of AMI in the network are to provide the additional delivery method for distributing an IR camera Images will be evaluate in this experiment. In this paper also presents an empirical performance evaluation from the variable chunk sizes were compared with the number of clients and message latency, some of the measurement data's are summarized in the following paragraph. In the AMI buffers size measurement, when the chuck sizes were change, the message latency is significantly change according to it frame size. The smaller frame size between 256 bytes to 512 bytes is more efficient fur the message size below 2Mbytes, but it average performance in the large of message size a bigger frame size is more efficient. For the several destination, the same experiment using 512 bytes to 2 Mbytes frame with 2 to 5 destinations are presented. For the message size bigger than 2Mbytes, the AMI are still able to meet requirement far more than 5 clients simultaneously.

Background: Postoperative analgesia (POA) is an important determinant of successful treatment. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) has recently gained attention as a promising adjuvant to local anesthetics (LA). The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of levobupivacaine (LB) as an adjuvant during inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) in the extraction of lower impacted third molars (LITM). Methods: A prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, triple-blind, parallel-arm, and clinical study was performed on 50 systemically healthy participants who required removal of an asymptomatic LITM. Using a 1:1 distribution, the participants were randomized into two groups (n = 25). Group L (control group) received 1.8 mL of 0.5% LB and 0.2 mL normal saline (placebo) and Group D (study group) received a blend of 1.8 mL of 0.5% LB and 0.2 mL (20 ㎍) DEX. The primary outcome variable was the duration of POA and hemodynamic stability, and the secondary variable was the total number of analgesics required postoperatively for up to 72 h. The participants were requested to record the time of rescue analgesic use and the total number of rescue analgesics taken. The area under the curve was plotted for the total number of analgesics administered. The pain was evaluated using the visual analog scale. Data analysis was performed using paired students and unpaired t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-square test, and receiver operating characteristic analysis. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. Results: The latency, profoundness of anesthesia, and duration of POA were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The differences between mean pain scores at 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h were found to be significant (each P = 0.0001). Fewer analgesics were required by participants in group D (2.12 ± 0.33) than in L (4.04 ± 0.67), with a significant difference (P = 0.0001). Conclusion: Perineurally administered LA with DEX is a safe, effective, and therapeutic approach for improving latency, providing profound POA, and reducing the need for postoperative analgesia.

VLIW 프로세서는 간단한 하드웨어 구조로 인해 저전력 및 고성능을 제공하여 임베디드 시스템에 매우 적합한 프로세서 구조로 인식되고 있다. 그러나 VLIW 프로세서는 동시에 수행 가능한 명령어들의 집합인 명령어 패킷 길이가 일정하지 않기 때문에 메모리 접근 지연 시간이 늘어나는 문제점을 안고 있다. 이는 가변 길이의 명령어 패킷으로 인해 일부 명령어 패킷이 두개의 캐쉬 블록에 걸쳐 있게 되고(스트래들 명령어 패킷), 이러한 명령어 패킷을 읽어 오기 위해 두 번의 캐쉬 접근이 요구되기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 명령어 인출 대역폭을 높여줄 뿐만 아니라 명령어 캐쉬의 전력 소모를 낮춰주는 확장 버퍼 캐쉬를 제안한다. 확장 버퍼 캐쉬는 메인 캐쉬와 함께 스트래들 명령어 패킷의 일부를 저장하기 위한 소량의 확장 버퍼 캐쉬를 갖고 있으며 스트래들 명령어 패킷으로 인해 추가적으로 발생하는 캐쉬 접근을 줄여준다. 실험 결과 스트래들 명령어 패킷으로 인한 캐쉬 접근을 줄여 줌으로써 확장 버퍼 캐쉬는 기존 명령어 캐쉬에 비해 약 $5{\~}9{\%}$의 성능 전력${\cdot}$비용 향상을 가져옴을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper studies a single-user Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) system where mobile device (MD) includes an application consisting of multiple computation components or tasks with dependencies. MD can offload part of each computation-intensive latency-sensitive task to the AP integrated with MEC server. In order to accomplish the application faultlessly, we calculate out the optimal task offloading strategy in a time-division manner for a predetermined execution order under the constraints of limited computation and communication resources. The problem is formulated as an optimization problem that can minimize the energy consumption of mobile device while satisfying the constraints of computation tasks and mobile device resources. The optimization problem is equivalently transformed into solving a nonlinear equation with a linear inequality constraint by leveraging the Lagrange Multiplier method. And the proposed dual Bi-Section Search algorithm Bi-JOTD can efficiently solve the nonlinear equation. In the outer Bi-Section Search, the proposed algorithm searches for the optimal Lagrangian multiplier variable between the lower and upper boundaries. The inner Bi-Section Search achieves the Lagrangian multiplier vector corresponding to a given variable receiving from the outer layer. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has significant performance improvement than other baselines. The novel scheme not only reduces the difficulty of problem solving, but also obtains less energy consumption and better performance.

This study aimed to analyze the correlation between working from home and sleep disorders among domestic workers using data from the 5th Working Environment Survey in 2017. Out of the total 30,108 wage workers, 818 employees work from home and 4,090 work in an office. A random sample of 1:5 pairs, considering gender and occupational group, was selected from these employees as the study subjects. The analysis included personal characteristics, occupational characteristics, work-from-home arrangements, and sleep disorders. Age, education, employment status, years in the workforce, weekly working hours, work-life balance, self-perceived health, depression, and anxiety were all adjusted as potential confounding variables. Conditional logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between working from home (independent variable) and sleep disorder (dependent variable). This analysis aimed to analyze the correlation between working from home and sleep disorder. The analysis revealed that working from home was associated with sleep onset latency disorder OR=3.23 (95% CI=2.67~3.91), sleep maintenance disorder OR=3.67 (95% CI=3.02~4.45), and non-restorative sleep OR=3.01 (95% CI=2.46~3.67), which showed a statistically significant relationship with all three types of sleep disorders. Factors influencing the correlation between working from home and sleep disorders included work-life balance, social isolation, and anxiety.

최근 그래픽 프로세서, 멀티미디어 프로세서, 음성처리 프로세서 등에서 부동소수점이 주로 사용된다. C, Java 등 고급언어에서는 단정도실수와 배정도실수를 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 32 비트 곱셈기를 사용하여 배정도실수의 역수를 계산하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 배정도 실수 가수를 상위 부분과 하위 부분으로 나누고, 상위 부분의 역수를 뉴턴-랍손 알고리즘으로 계산한다. 그리고 이를 초기값으로 하여 배정도실수의 역수를 계산한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 입력값에 따라서 곱셈 횟수가 다르므로, 평균 곱셈 횟수를 계산하는 방식을 유도하고, 여러 크기의 근사 역수 테이블에서 평균 곱셈 횟수를 계산한다.

It has been said that variable anatomical structures and neural circuits are related to the generation of tremor. There are cerebral cortex, thalamus, basal ganglia, inferior olivary nucleus, midbrain tegmentum, stretch reflex, and musculoskeletal structures. The stretch reflex is related with the physiologic tremor and various peripherally originated tremors. We experienced a case with the post-stroke resting tremor which was induced and aggravated by mechanical stretching stimulation. In the present case, stretch reflex has a major role in the generation and exacerbation of tremor. It is presumed that the development of tremor is attributed to the increased rhythmicity of ventral intermedius nucleus of thalamus. The enhancement of thalamic rhythmicity may be due to the increasement of long latency reflex by post-stroke rigidity. This case suggests that stretch reflex may have a major role in the pathophysiologic mechanisms of a certain centrally originated tremor.
