To overcome the drawbacks of conventional load control method and displacement control method, the so-called volume control method was developed by utilizing a pressure node added into a finite shell element. In this study, an improved volume control method which can analyze path-dependant behaviors of RC shell structures subjected to cyclic loading effectively is developed. RC shell structures are discretized with layered shell elements and in-plane two dimensional constitutive equations for concrete and reinforcements are implemented for each layer of the shell elements. Validity of the so-called path dependant volume control method is also verified by comparing analysis results with other data including experimental results.

A low power PRAM using a power-dependant data inversion (PDI) scheme is proposed. The PRAM consumes large write power because large write currents are required during long time. Also, the power consumptions for storing #1# and #0# are different. The PDI circuit compares the power consumptions to store the original data and its inverted data, and then it stores the less power consuming data. Although the PDI scheme needs an additional inversion bit per data, the maximum and average powers of the PDI can be under 50% and 37.5% of the conventional write scheme, respectively. The average power for storing 8bit data is under 41%, due to the inversion bit. The 1K-bit PRAM chip with 128$\times$8bits was implemented with a 0.8${\mu}m$ CMOS technology with a 0.5${\mu}m$ GST cell.

This letter proposes a low-power current-steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The proposed DAC reduces the clock power by cutting the clock signal to the current-source cells in which the data will not be changed. The 10-bit DAC is implemented using a $0.13-{\mu}m$ CMOS process with $V_{DD}$=1.2 V. Its area is $0.21\;mm^2$. It consumes 4.46 mW at a 1-MHz signal frequency and 200-MHz sampling rate. The clock power is reduced to 30.9% and 36.2% of a conventional DAC at 1.25-MHz and 10-MHz signal frequencies, respectively. The measured spurious free dynamic ranges are 72.8 dB and 56.1 dB at 1-MHz and 50-MHz signal frequencies, respectively.

In this paper, we propose a Data Dependant Swarm Intelligence Routing Algorithm(DSRA) based on "ant colony optimization" to improve routing performance in Mobile Ad hoc Network(MANET). DSRA generates a different routing path depending on data's characteristics: Realtime and Non-Realtime. DSRA achieves a reduced delay for Realtime data and an enhanced network lifetime from a decentralized path selection for Non-Realtime data. We demonstrate these results by an experimental study comparing with AODV, DSR and AntHocNet.

Purpose: The focus of this research was a systematic review of published articles and theses for a degree in Korea and foreign countries on rehabilitation therapy for patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: The literature until December in 2011 were searched and the data basis included Medline, CINAHL, KERIS, National Library of Korea, and National Assembly Library web sites. Words for the search were TKA or TKA and rehabilitation. Studies included randomized controlled and non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. 31 studies were analyzed focusing on type, application method, dependant variable and effect using descriptive statistics. Results: Seventeen rehabilitation therapies and forty-nine dependant variables were used. The application methods of rehabilitation therapy were diverse. The most frequently used rehabilitation type was an exercise therapy and a pain/discomfort was the most frequently used dependant variable. The effects of rehabilitation therapy were inconsistent. Conclusion: The individualized rehabilitation therapy must be comprised of type, time, frequency, period and duration. Attention must be made as to the research design, especially the better measurement of the dependent variables. This review may serve as a base for future research.

The electric power industry throughout the world is undergoing considerable changes from the vertically integrated utility structure to the deregulated market. However, the deregulated electricity market is operated with respect to theory of economical efficiency, and therefore, the system operator requires data with fast contingency ranking for security of the bulk power system. This paper compares the weather dependant probabilistic risk index(PRI) with the system performance index for power flow in the IEEE-RTS. The system performance index for power flow presents the power system stability. This paper presents fast calculation method for determining contingency ranking using the weather dependant probabilistic risk index(PRI). The probabilistic risk index can be classified into the case of normal and adverse weather. This paper proposes calculation method using the probabilistic risk index in determining contingency ranking required for security under the deregulated electricity market.

In this study, an improved volume control method is introduced for effective analysis of path-dependant behaviors of RC structures subjected to cyclic loading. RC shell structures including RC hollow columns are anlayized by discretizing the structures with layered shell elements and by applying in-plane two dimensional constitutive equations for concrete layers and reinforcement layers of the shell elements. The so-called path dependant volume control method is verified by comparing analysis results with other data including experimental results.
