To predict the bud bursting date of 'Campbell Early' grapevines, the bud developmental rate (DVR) models were constructed. The DVRs for bud bursting were calculated from the demanded times at controlled air temperatures. The DVRs were examined on the 'Campbell Early' grapevines incubated in three different temperatures at 4.6, 11.8, and $16.6^{\circ}C$. The DVR increased exponentially or linearly on the air temperature with a slope of about 0.0019. The DVR equations were computed as $DVR=0.0249+0.0020e^{0.1654x}$ or DVR = 0.0019x + 0.0187. These DVR equations offered developmental indices and predicted dates for bud bursting with air temperature data. The DVR equations were validated to the bud bursting data observed in the field. When bud bursting dates were calculated with daily temperature data, the root mean squared error (RMSE) between the observed and the predicted dates was less than 4 days. When those were calculated with hourly temperature data, on the other hand, the RMSE was less than 3 days. These results suggest that the DVR models are useful to predict bud bursting date of 'Campbell Early' grapevines.

We prove that a maximal ideal M of D[x] has two generators and is of the form where p is an irreducible element in a PID D having infinitely many nonassociate irreducible elements and q(x) is an irreducible non-constant polynomial in D[x]. Moreover, we find how minimal generators of maximal ideals of a polynomial ring D[x] over a DVR D consist of and how many generators those maximal ideals have.

Web 3D technology can be used to simulate the experiments of scientific, medical, engineering and multimedia visualization. On the web environment, 3D virtual reality can be accessed well without strictly on operating system, location and time. Virtual Reality (VR) is used to depict a three-dimensional, computer generated realistic images, sound and other sensations to replicated a real environment or an imaginary setting which can be explored and interacted with by a person. That person is immersed within virtual environment and is able to manipulate objects or perform a series of action. Virtual environment can be created with X3D which is the ISO standard for defining 3D interactive, web-based 3D content and integrating with multimedia. In this paper, we discuss about X3D VR stereo rendering scene and propose new X3D nodes for the HMD VR (head mounted display virtual reality). The proposed nodes are visualized by the web browser X3DOM of X3D.

Let D be an integral domain with quotient field K, Pic(D) be the ideal class group of D, and X be an indeterminate. A polynomial overring of D means a subring of K[X] containing D[X]. In this paper, we study almost Dedekind domains which are polynomial overrings of a principal ideal domain D, defined by the intersection of K[X] and rank-one discrete valuation rings with quotient field K(X), and their ideal class groups. Next, let ℤ be the ring of integers, ℚ be the field of rational numbers, and 𝔊f be the set of finitely generated abelian groups (up to isomorphism). As an application, among other things, we show that there exists an overring R of ℤ[X] such that (i) R is a Bezout domain, (ii) R∩ℚ[X] is an almost Dedekind domain, (iii) Pic(R∩ℚ[X]) = $\oplus_{G{\in}G_{f}}$ G, (iv) for each G ∈ 𝔊f, there is a multiplicative subset S of ℤ such that RS ∩ ℚ[X] is a Dedekind domain with Pic(RS ∩ ℚ[X]) = G, and (v) every invertible integral ideal I of R ∩ ℚ[X] can be written uniquely as I = XnQe11···Qekk for some integer n ≥ 0, maximal ideals Qi of R∩ℚ[X], and integers ei ≠ 0. We also completely characterize the almost Dedekind polynomial overrings of ℤ containing Int(ℤ).

Experience with bileaflet mechanical valve replacement at the Inha Hospital in 192 patients, operated on from June 1986 until April 1993. Two hundred fourty-one prostheses [51 Duromedics, 79 St.Jude Medical, and 111 CafboMedics]were implanted during the total 195 operations. Mitral valve replacment[MVR]was done in 113 cases, aortic valve replacement[AVR]in 34, tricuspid valve replacement[TVR]in 2, and double valve replacement[DVR]in 46 cases.Of the total patients, 63.0% were women and 37.0% were men. The mean age of the patients was 40.8 years, ranged from 14 to 67years. Overall early mortality was 9.2\ulcorner%[18 out of 195]; 9.7%[11 out of 113]for MVR, 14,7% [5 out of 34]for AVR, and 4.3%[2 out of 46]for DVR. All of the operative survors were followed over a period of one to 83 months with a mean of 37 months, for total 543 patient-years. So far, eleven patients[6.7% of the long-term survivors]were lost to follov-up after a mean postoperative follow-up of 22.8 months. There were nine late deaths; three deaths due to prostetic valve endocarditis, two due to persistent heart failure, one due to cerebral hemorrhage, one due to aortic dissection after Bentall oreration, and two sudden deaths. Actuarial survival rate at 6.9 years was 94.8%, There were seventeen valve-related complications; three prosthetic valve thromboses, three thrombembolisms, three instances of prosthetic valve endocarditis, two paravalvular leakages, and six hemorrhagic complications related to anticoagulation. The actuarial rate of freedom from all valve-related complications at 6.9years was 91.3%. There were significant decreases in the heart size postoperatively that can be demonstrated by comparison of cardio-thoracic ratios on simple chest X-ray and left ventricle dimensions on echocardiography. We conclude that this midterm follow-up shows good results in terms of hemodynamics and durability although further long-term evaluations are mandatory.

In this paper, we present the result of an efficient implementation of DirectX-based multichannel visual monitoring system and the performance analysis of it. Our proposed system mainly consists of three subsystems: display, storage, and retrieval/playback. The display subsystem is designed to utilize efficiently H/W acceleration, overlay and flip of DirectX for faster real-time display, display synchronization among channels, and improvement of tearing artifact. For the performance improvement of storage speed, the storage subsystem is designed and implemented in DirectShow Filter-based multithreading architecture so that it can store multichannel video streams efficiently in each channel with minimizing data bottleneck among channels. In the retrieval and playback subsystem, efficient index file architecture and video data storage architecture, efficient playback architecture which can make playback be processed parallel among channels are designed and implemented for faster retrieval and playback,. Through experiments, our proposed system is shown to be maximally 2 times as fast in storaging speed and maximally 3.5 times as fast in retrieval and playback speed as the previous system.

The On-X valve was recently introduced. It was the aim of this study to assess the safety and feasibility from the data derived from 28 patients who underwent aortic and/or mitral valve replacement with this prosthesis in National Medical Center. Material and Method： From May 1999 and May 2003, a series of 28 consecutive patients who had been implanted with 32 On-X prosthesis were reviewed, The operative procedure comprised of 12 MVR, 10 AVR and 6 DVR. The study followed the guidelines of AATS/STS. Mean follow-up was 27 months (total 04 patient-years). Result: Early ($\leq$30 days) mortality was 7.44% (2/28) and no late mortality occurred in the study. Total actuarial freedom from mortality at 2 years was 92.86$\pm$4.87% for all cases, 100% for MVR, 90$\pm$9.49% for AVR, and 83.3$\pm$1.52% for DVR. Thromboembolic event occurred in 2 MVR patients and that was the only complication; therefore, the linearized incidence of valve related complications was 3.17%/ patient-years for all cases and 6.5%/patient-years for MVR and the actuarial freedom from valve related complications at 2 years was 84.85$\pm$10.75%. Preoperatively, 24 (85.71%) patients were in NYHA functional class III or IV but postoperatively, 25 (89,29%) patients were in NYHA functional class I or II. The levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum LDH, reticulocyte rate and indirect bilirubin were all within normal range at postoperative 3 month. In mitral position, the peak gradient was 6.1$\pm$1.8 mmHg and the mean gradient was 3.0$\pm$0.6 mmHg and EOA were 2.54$\pm$0.56 $m^2$, 2.39$\pm$0.73 $m^2$, 2.34$\pm$0.55 $m^2$, 2.40$\pm$0.63 $m^2$ at 27 mm, 29 mm, 31 mm, 33 mm respectively. In aortic postion, the peak gradient was 21.1 $\pm$14.12 mmHg and the mean gradient was 12.3$\pm$6.52 mmHg. Conclusion: Since there was no significant difference in the postoperative mortality, valve related complications and echocardiographic hemodynamic data compared to standard bileaflet design and since there was an improvement in the NYHA functional class and normal values of hemolytic indicators, it can be assumed that On-X valve is safe and feasible. However, accumulation of cases and long-term follow-up of this patient group is needed to establish this result.
