  • Purpose: Image artifacts caused by patient motion cause problems in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) because they lead to distortion of the 3-dimensional reconstruction. This prospective study was performed to quantify patient movement during CBCT acquisition and its influence on image quality. Materials and Methods: In total, 412 patients receiving CBCT imaging were equipped with a wireless head sensor system that detected inertial, gyroscopic, and magnetometric movements with 6 dimensions of freedom. The type and amplitude of movements during CBCT acquisition were evaluated and image quality was rated in 7 different anatomical regions of interest. For continuous variables, significance was calculated using the Student t-test. A linear regression model was applied to identify associations of the type and extent of motion with image quality scores. Kappa statistics were used to assess intra- and inter-rater agreement. Chi-square testing was used to analyze the impact of age and sex on head movement. Results: All CBCT images were acquired in a 10-month period. In 24% of the investigations, movement was recorded (acceleration: >0.10 [m/s2]; angular velocity: >0.018 [°/s]). In all examined regions of interest, head motion during CBCT acquisition resulted in significant impairment of image quality (P<0.001). Movement in the horizontal and vertical axes was most relevant for image quality (R2>0.7). Conclusion: Relevant head motions during CBCT imaging were frequently detected, leading to image quality loss and potentially impairing diagnosis and therapy planning. The presented data illustrate the need for digital correction algorithms and hardware to minimize motion artefacts in CBCT imaging.

  • Conventional networking and telecommunications infrastructure characterized by wires, fixed location, and inflexibility is giving way to mobile technologies. Numerous research reports point to the ultimate domination of wireless communication. With the increasing prevalence of advanced cell-phones, various mobile data services (hereafter MDS) are gaining popularity. Although cellular networks were originally introduced for voice communications, statistics indicate that data services are replacing the matured voice service as the growth engine for telecom service providers. For example, SK Telecom, the Korea's largest mobile service provider, reported that 25.6% of revenue and 28.5% of profit came from MDS in 2006 and the share is growing. Statistics also indicate that, in 2006, the average revenue per user (ARPU) for voice didn't change but MDS grew seven percents from the previous year, further highlighting its growth potential. MDS is defined "as an assortment of digital data services that can be accessed using a mobile device over a wide geographic area." A variety of MDS have been deployed, with a few reaching the status of killer applications. Many of them need to access the Internet through the cellular-phone infrastructure. In the past, when the cellular network didn't have acceptable bandwidth for data services, SMS (short messaging service) dominated MDS. Now, Internet-ready, next-generation cell-phones are driving rich digital data services into the fabric of everyday life, These include news on various topics, Internet search, mapping and location-based information, mobile banking and gaming, downloading (i.e., screen savers), multimedia streaming, and various communication services (i.e., email, short messaging, messenger, and chaffing). The huge economic stake MDS has on its stakeholders warrants focused research to understand associated dynamics behind its adoption. Lyytinen and Yoo(2002) pointed out the limitation of traditional adoption models in explaining the rapid diffusion of innovations such as P2P or mobile services. Also, despite the increasing popularity of MDS, unexpected drop in its usage is observed among some people. Intrigued by these observations, an exploratory study was conducted to examine decision factors of MDS usage. Data analysis revealed that the increase and decrease of MDS use was influenced by different forces. The findings of the exploratory study triggered our confirmatory research effort to validate the uni-directionality of studied factors in affecting MDS usage. This differs from extant studies of IS/IT adoption that are largely grounded on the assumption of bi-directionality of explanatory variables in determining the level of dependent variables (i.e., user satisfaction, service usage). The research goal is, therefore, to examine if increase and decrease in the usage of MDS are explained by two separate groups of variables pertaining to information quality and system quality. For this, we investigate following research questions: (1) Does the information quality of MDS increase service usage?; (2) Does the system quality of MDS decrease service usage?; and (3) Does user motivation for subscribing MDS moderate the effect information and system quality have on service usage? The research questions and subsequent analysis are grounded on the two factor theory pioneered by Hertzberg et al(1959). To answer the research questions, in the first, an exploratory study based on 378 survey responses was conducted to learn about important decision factors of MDS usage. It revealed discrepancy between the influencing forces of usage increase and those of usage decrease. Based on the findings from the exploratory study and the two-factor theory, we postulated information quality as the motivator and system quality as the de-motivator (or hygiene) of MDS. Then, a confirmative study was undertaken on their respective role in encouraging and discouraging the usage of mobile data service.

  • Objective: The objective of this study was to measure the upper-limb motions and postures of grapes-harvesting tasks using electrical goniometers and analyze the upper-limb motions in a kinematic way to assess the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Background: Grapes farmers are exposed to various risk factors of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) such as repetitive upper-limb motions, non-neutral postures, and manual handling of heavy items. The farmers have to use scissors repetitively while harvesting grapes with their being arms elevated over the shoulder height, which presumed to increase the physical workload. It has been reported that the grapes farmers feel the harvesting task as the one of the hardest work in cultivating grapes. We tried measure the wrist and elbow angles while the farmers were carrying out harvesting tasks to understand how much workload the work impose on the farmers, which can be helpful in making interventions of preventing musculosksletal disorders among grapes farmers. Method: We measured joint angles at the right wrist and elbow with a wireless measuring system with two electrical goniometers from five grape farmers. The grapes-harvesting task was classified into 6 different subtasks: 1) searching, 2) picking, 3) cleaning, 4) carrying, 6) storing, and 7) miscellaneous tasks. The subtasks were compared by mean angles, 10%, 50%, and 90% APDF values of wrist flexion/extension, ulnar/radial deviation, and elbow flexion. Results: The Kruskal-Wallis tests showed that the 10th percentiles of APDF of ulnar/radial deviation and flexion/extension of the wrist significantly differs among subtasks (p<0.05). It was found that the farmers assumed more deviated wrist postures in the ulnar direction when they picking and adjusting the grapes. The use of scissors seemed to force the farmers to severely bend their wrist in the directions of ulnar deviation and flexion. The grapes-harvesting task showed similar wrist postures and motion with poultry deboning and milking tasks. Conclusion: The grapes harvesting tasks make the farmers take ulnar deviated and extended postures in the wrist. The use of scissors makes them take more severely deviated postures in the wrist. Safety guidelines including use of ergonomic scissors can be provided to the farmers to improve their work conditions. Application: The results of this study can be used as a basic data for the development of safety guidelines for agricultural work.

  • Ad-Hoc 네트워크는 군사적인 목적으로 시작되었으며, 네트워크 인프라 구조가 없거나, 네트워크 인프라의 설치가 용이하지 않거나, 전쟁 및 분쟁지역, 재해나 재난에 의해 통신 시설을 설치하기 어려운 지역에서 비상 통신 수단으로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 Ad-Hoc 네트워크는 기존의 유선망과 비교하여 대역폭이 좁고 신호간의 간섭이 상대적으로 심하여 망 형상이 수시로 변경될 수 있다. 따라서 기존의 라우팅 알고리즘을 적용할 수 없으며, 새로운 라우팅 알고리즘 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 기존에 제안된 라우팅 알고리즘 중 클러스터에 헤더(주헤더)를 두어 관리하는 클러스터 기반의 라우팅 프로토콜(CBRP)에서 클러스터 내의 주헤더 노드를 제외한 모든 노드가 주헤더 통신을 의존함으로써 발생하는 주헤더 이상시의 문제점을 최소화하기 위해 클러스터 내에 보조헤더를 두어 클러스터 및 클러스터내의 모든 노드를 관리하는 방안(ACBRP)을 제안한다. 보조헤더 역할은 주헤더가 비정상적으로 되어 노드들 간의 송수신에 더 이상 참가할 수 없을 경우, 별도의 주헤더 재선출 과정 없이 보조헤더가 즉시 주헤더로 교체되어 기존의 주헤더 역할을 담당한다. 이는 CBRP에서 클러스터 주헤더 노드가 클러스터 밖으로 이동하거나, 비정상적인 상태가 되어 다른 주헤더 노드를 선출해야 하는 부담을 효과적으로 줄이고, 이 때 통신 중인 모든 노드는 통신의 중단 없이 계속적으로 라우팅을 유지할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구가 기존의 CBRP에 비해 효율적인 통신을 할 수 있으며, 모의실험을 통해 ACBRP의 성능 평가를 위한 주헤더 재선출을 위한 비용 계산을 위해 필요한 데이터 값들을 측정하고, 기존의 CBRP와 비교 평가하여, 타당성을 확인하였다.(12.7%), 폐렴 4례 (7.2%), 기관지확장증 4례 (7.2%), 무기폐 4례 (7.2%)의 순으로 많았다.경우보다 높은 2.0 unit/mL의 농도에서 알파-갈 항원결정인자가 제거되는 양상을 보였다. 걸론: 돼지의 대동맥 판막 조직과 심낭 조직의 알파-갈 항원결정인자는 eriffonia simplicifolia의 동종렉틴 B4를 사용한 면역조직형광염색에서 잘 염색되었으며 이를 알파-갈락토시다아제를 사용하여 제거하였을 때 각각 1.0 unit/mL, 2.0 unit/mL 농도의 녹색콩 알파-갈락토시다아제를 $4^{\circ}C$, pH 6.5의 조건에서 24시간 반응시켰을 때 효과적으로 상당량 제거할 수 있었다. 향후 돼지의 판막조직 및 심낭조직으로 만드는 조직판막의 내구성 증대에 대표적인 동물 면역항원인 알파-갈 항원결정인자의 제거가 유용한 도구가 될 수 있을 것이며 앞으로 알파-갈락토시다아제로 처리한 돼지의 조직판막에 대한 인간혈장의 항-갈 항체 및 항-갈 단클론항체를 이용한 직접적인 면역학적 연구가 필요하다.광학거울 (Fine-grade optical mirror)을 이 부위에 넣고 반사시야에서 수술적 처치를 시행할 것을 주장했으나, 수술시의 출혈등에 의한 명료시야의 확보에 문제점이 있어 널리 시행되지 않았다. Saito(1971)등은 Sinus tympani의 접근방법으로서 종래의 중이강내에서 접근방식 (Tympani approach) 보다 유양동을 통한 접근(mastoid approach)이 보다 편리하고 확실한 방법일 것이라는 생각으로 42개의 측두골에 대한 미세해부학적 계측을 실시하였다. 그러나 연구결과에서 그는 Sinus tympani의 상부는 안면신경과 지나치게 가까운 거리에 있어
