Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) have received a lot of attention as a promising technology for medical and healthcare applications. A WBAN should guarantee energy efficiency, data reliability, and low data latency because it uses tiny sensors that have limited energy and deals with medical data that needs to be timely and correctly transferred. To satisfy this requirement, many multi-radio multi-channel MAC protocols have been proposed, but these cannot be implemented on current off-the-shelf sensor nodes because they do not support multi-radio transceivers. Thus, recently single-radio multi-channel MAC protocols have been proposed; however, these methods are energy inefficient due to data duplication. This paper proposes a TDMA-based single-radio, multi-channel MAC protocol that uses the Unbalanced Star+Mesh topology to satisfy the requirements of WBANs. Our analytical analysis together experiments using real sensor nodes show that the proposed protocol outperforms existing methods in terms of energy efficiency, reliability, and low data latency.

Internet accessibility has been growing due to the diffusion of smartphones in today's society. Therefore, people can generate data anywhere and are confronted with the challenge that they should process a large amount of data. Since the appearance of relational database management system (RDBMS), most of the recent information systems are built by utilizing it. RDBMS uses foreign-keys to avoid data duplication. The transactions in the database use attributes, such as atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability (ACID), which ensures that data integrity and processing results are stably managed. The characteristic of RDBMS is that there is high data reliability. However, this results in performance degradation. Meanwhile, from among these information systems, some systems only require high-performance rather than high reliability. In this case, if we only consider performance, the use of NoSQL provides many advantages. It is possible to reduce the maintenance cost of the information system that continues to increase in the use of open source software based NoSQL. And has a huge advantage that is easy to use NoSQL. Therefore, in this study, we prove that the leverage of NoSQL will ensure high performance than RDBMS by applying NoSQL to database systems that implement RDBMS.

부 스토리지에 민감한 데이터를 저장할 경우 평문상태의 데이터는 기밀성 문제가 발생하기 때문에 중복처리를 통한 스토리지 효율성 제공뿐만 아니라 데이터 암호화를 통한 기밀성 보장이 필요하다. 최근 네트워크 대역폭의 효율적인 사용을 위해 클라이언트측 중복제거 기술이 주목을 받으면서 다양한 클라이언트 측 중복제거 기술들이 제안되었지만 아직까지 안전성에 대한 문제가 남아있다. 본 논문에서는 암호화를 통해 데이터의 기밀성을 보장하고 소유권 증명을 이용해 데이터 접근제어를 제공하여 신뢰할 수 없는 서버와 악의적인 사용자로부터 프라이버시를 보존할 수 있는 안전한 클라이언트 측 소스기반 중복제거 기술을 제안한다.

Drug Utilization Review (DUR) is known to play an important role to improve appropriateness of drug prescriptions. This retrospective, observational study was conducted to compare prescription patterns after installation of Computerized DUR Program (Drug Information Framework-$Korea^{TM}$) (Jan-Mar 2008; After) to before DUR program (Jan-Mar 2007: Before). 8 physicians affiliated in the S University Hospital were enrolled in the study and their 3 months' prescription data were analysed for drug prescription trends and DUR conflict events per 7 DUR screening modules (drugdrug interaction, therapeutic duplication, allergy, dosing, disease contra-indication, geriatric contra-indication, pediatric contra-indication). Average rate of DUR modules usage in 2008 (After) were 0.72. Average number of prescription drug per patient were reduced from 5.6 (Before) to 3.8 (After), and DUR program seemed to effect positively on physician's prescription related decision process. Overall DUR conflict events occurred by 8 physicians for 3 months were 17,923 Before and 20,057 After DUR program, and DUR conflict events per prescription were 2.8 Before and 2.9 After, respectively. Therapeutic duplication (37%), geriatric contra-indication (34%) and dosing (18%) were high ranked DUR conflicts. As the study was not sufficient to show a consistent trend to reduce DUR conflicts After, another study to confirm it's effectiveness would be recommended. This study would be of help to develop awareness of DUR program to healthcare providers.

The FLT3-ITD mutation is one of the most frequent genetic abnormalities in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) where it is associated with a poor prognosis. The FLT3-ITD mutation could, therefore, be a potential molecular prognostic marker important for risk-stratified treatment options. We amplified the FLT3 gene at exon 14 and 15 in 52 AML patients (aged between 2 months and 74 years) from 4 referral centers (a university hospital and 3 regional hospitals in Northeast Thailand), using a simple PCR method. FLT3-ITD mutations were found in 10 patients (19.2%), being more common in adults than in children (21.1% vs. 14.3%) and more prevalent in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (AML-M3) than AML-non M3 (4 of 10 AML-M3 vs. 6 of 42 AML-non M3 patients). Duplication sequences varied in size-between 27 and 171 nucleotides (median=63.5) and in their location. FLT3-ITD mutations with common duplication sequences accounted for a significant percentage in AML patients in northeastern Thailand. This simple PCR method is feasible for routine laboratory practice and these data could help tailor use of the national protocol for AML.

This study investigates the nature and patterns of interrelation between the emerging information and communication technology(ICT) and the organization of corporate space, both theoretically and empirically. In this work, ICT is conceptualized not so much a space-adjusting technology as an organizational technology. ICT is considered as a governance technology which is related to coordination function within a firm. Therefore, it is supposed to have a great relevance to the spatial reorganization of functions within a firm. Both questionnaire and case study method are used to gather necessary data from Korean electronics manufactures. The results of this study can be summarized as follow. First, the spatial structure of a firm, which is operationalised as the number and type of spatially separated establishments, is turned out to have a great explanatory power to its adoption of computer networks. Computer networks in muli-locational companies are introduced to overcome the limits of its spatial structure, such as duplication of functions, such as duplication of functions, loss of time spent in proceeding a job between different functional units, and unresponsiveness to the change of market demand. Second, new spatial division of labor and function could be possible through a series of business process reengineering, not through the mere adoption of ICT. Case studies reveal that computer network could help a firm to realize new forms of spatial division of labor, especially in those functions which is mainly based on the flow of information. Such function as ICT management, sales logistics and after-sales service are major parts where a new operational unit has appeared with the help of ICT. From above results, it can be concluded that the interrelations between ICT and organizational space should be approached intimately integrated with the change of industrial structure and it's organizational implications.

무선 센서 네트워크는 특정지역에서 데이터를 수집하여 처리는 작은 센서 노드들로 구성된다. 이러한 센서들은 최초로 설치된 이후에는 배터리로 동작되며, 동작기간이 수개월에서 수년까지 지속되어야 함으로 제한된 자원을 효율적으로 활용할 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 데이터 중심개념을 적용한 Directed Diffusion의 기본동작구조에 RHC(rounting history cache)를 적용하여, 데이터 전송경로 설정에 신뢰성과 효율성을 높인다. 제안하는 RHC 알고리즘은 각 센서 노드가 자신의 RHC를 주기적으로 업데이트 하여 최적화경로를 저장하고 있기 때문에, 이벤트 발생시마다 경로를 재설정하여 에너지가 낭비되는 것을 최소화하였고, 중복메시지의 최소화로 신뢰성을 향상시켰다.

웹 상의 출판이 보편화 될수록 많은 데이터의 내용물들이 압축, 포맷, 편집 등 변형된 상태로 중복해서 존재하게 된다. 이러한 유사한 데이터들은 검색 시 속도나 검색률 등에 문제를 야기 시킬 수도 있으며, 반면에 특정 사이트에 문제가 발생할 경우 다른 사이트의 중복된 데이터를 제공해 줄 수도 있게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 대규모 데이터베이스 상에 존재하는 비디오들 중에서 유사한 데이터들에 대한 정보를 사전에 감지할 수 있는 효율적인 방법을 제안한다. 본 연구에서는 비디오들을 직접 비교하는 대신 비디오를 대표하는 요약 비디오 영상을 만들고, 주성분 분석(PCA-principle component analysis) 기법을 적용하여 저차원 특징벡터 상에 군집화를 통해 유사 비디오들을 검출하였다. 실험을 통하여 제안하는 방법의 효율성과 정확성이 우수함을 보였다.
