Rectal bleeding is a common and worrisome problem in pediatric practice. The condition is usually alarming to patient and children. Although most cases are benign and self-limited, sometimes serious pathology also present in this manner. And severe rectal bleeding necessitates prompt diagnostic notice and appropriate treatment. The etiologies of rectal bleeding are somewhat specific to certain age group in children. Accurate history and through physical examination are paramount importance to help differentiate of the diverse etiologies causing rectal bleeding in children. This review describes patterns of rectal bleeding, historical and physical aspect, differentiation of clinical characteristics of rectal bleeding according to etiology, and diagnostic investigations.

It cannot be argued that speech is the most natural interfacing tool between men and machines. In order to realize acceptable speech interfaces, highly advanced speech recognizers and synthesizers are inevitable. Text-to-Speech(TTS) technology has been attracting a lot of interest among speech engineers because of its own benefits. Namely, the possible application areas of talking computers, emergency alarming systems in speech, speech output devices fur speech-impaired, and so on. Hence, many researchers have made significant progresses in the speech synthesis techniques in the sense of their own languages and as a result, the quality of currently available speech synthesizers are believed to be acceptable to normal users. These are partly why the MPEG group had decided to include the TTS technology as one of its MPEG-4 functionalities. ETRI has made major contributions to the current MPEG-4 TTS among various MPEG-4 functionalities. They are; 1) use of original prosody for synthesized speech output, 2) trick mode functions fer general users without breaking synthesized speech prosody, 3) interoperability with Facial Animation(FA) tools, and 4) dubbing a moving/animated picture with lib-shape pattern information.

Milling fixture is one kind of machining device according to the industrial demands for multi manufacturing products on the growing at alarming rate. In the field of design and making for machine tool working, welding, assembling with fixture for mass production is a specific division. In order to prevent the production defects, occurring, the optimum design of product, fixture putting in the field is very significant manufacturing method. They require analysis of many kinds of important factors, theory and practice of machine tool operating process and its situations, fixture and its structure, machining condition for tool making tool materials, heat treatment of fixture components, know-how and so on. In this study we designed and constructed a milling fixture of mass production and performed tryout under the AUTO CAD, database, I-DEAS and WINDOW environment. Especially part 1 of this study is reveals with the analysis of part drawing, fixture planning, fixture design etc.

The explosive growth of the Internet brought serious problems to the Internet routing infrastructure. Especially scaling problems is recognized more seriously. The ever increasing user population, as well as multiple other factors including multi-homing, traffic engineering, and policy routing, have been driving the growth of Default Free Zone (DFZ) routing table size at an alarming rate. While it has been long recognized that the existing routing architecture may have serious scalability problems, effective solutions have yet to be identified, developed, and deployed. Recently, several attempts for finding the concrete problems are made. Especially the report of the routing and addressing workshop which the IAB (Internet Architecture Board) held on 2006 is described the problems of the current internet in detail. This document describes those problems and introduces the related activity to solve the problems.

Recently, there has been active research conducted on the intelligent agent in various fields. The results have been widely applied to intelligent user-friendly interfaces. In this system, we modeled, designed, and implemented an intelligent agent system that can be applied to stock and news. Some procedures such as login sequence to the web site, process to get stock information, setting stock in concern, intelligent news system module, news analysis module, and news learning module are modeled in detail and described in block diagram level. In our experiment on stock system, it showed quite a useful alarming screen avatar result and also on news system. it successfully rearranged the order of the news according to the user's preferences.

Respiration monitoring is important in many clinical situations due to its relationship to vitality. But present commercial monitoring systems are bulky and expensive, so they are inadequate to be used for long term recording or out-patients application. We have developed a low cost, low power, handhold respiration monitoring system based on airflow measurement. Respiration flow is indirectly detected using a thermister or a themocouple sensor. Real time recording of respiration rate, abnormality detection and apnea alarming are available.

Globally, civil infrastructures are deteriorating at an alarming rate caused by overuse, overloading, aging, damage or failure due to natural or man-made hazards. With such a vast network of deteriorating infrastructure, there is a growing interest in continuous monitoring technologies. In order to provide a true distributed sensor and control system for civil structures, we are developing a Structural Nervous System that mimics key attributes of a human nervous system. This nervous system is made up of building blocks that are designed based on mechanoreceptors as a fundamentally new approach for the development of a structural health monitoring and diagnostic system that utilizes the recently developed piezo-fibers capable of sensing and actuation. In particular, our research has been focused on producing a sensory nervous system for civil structures by using piezo-fibers as sensory receptors, nerve fibers, neuronal pools, and spinocervical tract to the nodal and central processing units. This paper presents up to date results of our research, including the design and analysis of the structural nervous system.

In this study, an ANN-based damage detection algorithm using acceleration signals is developed for alarming locations of damage in beam-type structures. A new ANN-algorithm using output-only acceleration responses is designed for damage detection in real time. The cross-covariance of two acceleration signals measured at two different locations is selected as the feature representing the structural condition. Neural networks are trained for potential loading patterns and damage scenarios of the target structure for which its actual loadings are unknown. The feasibility and practicality of the proposed method are evaluated from laboratory-model tests on free-free beams for which accelerations were measured before and after several damage cases.

The possible air pollution problems in a proposed underground highway are discussed using carbon monoxide (CO) as an indicator. Carbon monoxide concentrations in the underground highway depend on several factors, including the size of tunnel, the number of automobiles, the CO emission rate, and the tunnel ventilation rate. Using the estimated values, CO concentrations in the underground highway can be predicted. Without proper ventilation system, CO concentration in the underground highway can be dangerous level. However, the cost of operating the mandatory mechanical ventilation system may be tremendouslyy high and may be technically unrealistic to implement. If the underground highway is constructed with proper ventilation system, a continuous air pollution monitoring system with alarming function must be installed to alert personnel of serious air pollution built up in the underground highway. Traffic must be restricted, whenever the inside air pollution levels exceed agreed values. Short distances between evacuation exits are necessary for emergency situations or malfunction of ventilation system.

침입자. 화재. 폭발이나 기계 이상과 같은 인적, 물적 재산에 피해를 입힐 수 있는 대부분의 응급 상황은 시각적으로 인식 가능하다. 따라서 사고가 발생하기 이전에 사고의 발생 가능성을 관계자에게 신속히 전달하여 인적, 물적 피해를 입지 않게 또는 최소화할 수 있게 대처하는 것이 필요하다. 이미지 기반의 지능형 경보/모니터링 시스템을 개발하여 자동적으로 비정상 상태를 인식하고 이를 관계된 사람들에게 인터넷과 전화, PCS, PDA로 신속하게 전달하는 유무선 통신 네트워크에서의 오브젝트 이미지 기반의 지능형 경보/모니터링 시스템을 구현하였다. 이 논문에서는 이미지 기반의 지능형 경보/모니터링 시스템의 구성에 대하여 설명하고 각 구성 요소의 기능에 대해서 설명한다
