This study explores consumer adoption of a fashion lifelogging app (FLA) using the four constructs of the UTAUT2 model. To answer the research questions, empirical data from an online survey was collected, using a sample of participants experienced in using the FLA 'Clothbox', consisting of questions on app usage, UTAUT2 factors, and intentions to use. The study found that utilizing the record feature significantly influenced performance expectancy, effort expectancy, hedonic motivation, and habits. The report feature had a significant effect on performance expectancy. The share feature had a significant effect on social influence. The search feature affected performance expectancy, habits, and social influence. Performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and habits were identified as factors affecting intention to use the FLA. Hedonic motivation and social influence had no significant effect on intention to use the FLA. This research has key significance because it comprises a comprehensive examination of the utility of the UTAUT2 model in determining the influence of UTAUT factors on the adoption of a FLA. The study provides a valuable resource for mobile app developers, planners, and marketers, because it offers insights into how to develop apps that enhance fashion lifelogging experiences for smartphone users.

In this paper we propose a new method to determine the learning rates of fuzzy learning algorithm(FLA) in nonlinear MIMO system. The state feedback gains are used from the linearized system of the nonlinear MIMO system. Through this method, it is easy to determine the learing rates. And it is quarauteed the good convergence and confirmed the performance of FLA is better than that of linear controller(LC) through the simulation. Acrobatic robot system is selected as an example(one-input two-output system), and FLA is implemented through the experiment.

Many researchers have studied flash memory in order to replace hard disk storages. Many FTL algorithms have been proposed to overcome physical constraints of flash memory such as erase-before-write, wear leveling, and poor write performance. Therefore, these constraints should be considered for testing FTL algorithms and the performance evaluation of flash memory. As doing the experiments, we suffer from several problems with costs and settings in experimental configuration. When we, for example, replay the traces of Oracle to evaluate the I/O performance with flash memory, it is hard to extract exact traces of I/O operations in Oracle. Since there are only write operations in the log, it is impossible to gather read operations. In MySQL and SQLite, we can gather the read operations by changing I/O functions in the source codes. But it is not easy to search for the exact points about I/O and even if we can find out the points, we might get wrong results depending on how we modify source codes to get I/O traces. The FlaSim proposed in this paper removes the difficulties when we evaluate the performance of FTL algorithms and flash memory. Our Linux drivers emulate the flash memory as a hard disk. And we can easily obtain the usage statistics of flash memory such as the number of write, read, and erase operations. The FlaSim can be gracefully extended to support the additional modules implemented by novel algorithms and ideas. In this paper, we describe the structure of FTL emulator, development tools and operating methods. We expect this emulator to be helpful for many experiments and research with flash memory.

We prepared silicon on insulator(SOI) wafer pairs of Si/1800${\AA}$ -SiO$_2$ ∥ 1800${\AA}$ -SiO$_2$/Si using water direct bonding method. Wafer pairs bonded at room-temperature were annealed by a normal furnace system or a fast linear annealing(FLA) equipment, and the micro-structure of bonding interfaces for each annealing method was investigated. Upper wafer of bonded pairs was polished to be 50 $\mu\textrm{m}$ by chemical mechanical polishing(CMP) process to confirm the real application. Defects and bonding area of bonded water pairs were observed by optical images. Electrical and mechanical properties were characterized by measuring leakage current for sweeping to 120 V, and by observing the change of wafer curvature with annealing process, respectively. FLA process was superior to normal furnace process in aspects of bonding area, I-V property, and stress generation.

Background: The aim of this study was to assess correlation between pain and degenerative bony changes on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of temporomandibular joints (TMJs). Methods: Two hundred eighty-three temporomandibular joints with degenerative bony changes were evaluated. Pain intensity (numeric rating scale, NRS) and pain duration in patients with degenerative joint disease (DJD) were also analyzed. We classified condylar bony changes on CBCT into five types: osteophyte (Osp), erosion (Ero), flattening (Fla), subchondral sclerosis (Scl), and pseudocyst (Pse). Results: Degenerative bony changes were the most frequent in the age groups of 10~19, 20-29, and 50~59 years. The most frequent pain intensity was "none" (NRS 0, 34.6%) followed by "annoying" (NRS 3-5, 29.7%). The most frequent condylar bony change was Fla (219 joints, 77.4%) followed by Ero (169 joints, 59.7%). "Ero + Fla" was the most common combination of the bony changes (12.7%). The frequency of erosion was directly proportional to NRS, but the frequency of osteophyte was inversely proportional. The prevalence of Ero increased from onset until 2 years and gradually decreased thereafter. The prevalence of Osp, Ero, and Pse increased with age. Conclusions: Osp and Ero can be pain-related variables in degenerative joint disease (DJD) patients. "Six months to 2 years" may be a meaningful time point from the active, unstable phase to the stabilized late phase of DJD.

Background The temporalis muscle flap transfer with fascia lata augmentation (FLA) is a promising method for smile reconstruction after facial palsy. International literature lacks a detailed anatomical analysis of the temporalis muscle (TPM) combined with fascia lata (FL) augmentation. This study aims to describe the muscle's properties and calculate the length of FL needed to perform the temporalis muscle flap transfer with FLA. Methods Twenty nonembalmed male (m) and female (f) hemifacial cadavers were dissected to investigate the temporalis muscle's anatomy. Results The calculated minimum length of FL needed is 7.03cm (f) and 5.99cm (m). The length of the harvested tendon is 3.16cm/± 1.32cm (f) and 3.18/± 0.73cm (m). The length of the anterior part of the temporalis muscle (aTPM) is 4.16/± 0.80cm (f) and 5.30/± 0.85cm (m). The length of the posterior part (pTPM) is 5.24/± 1.51cm (f) and 6.62/± 1.03cm (m). The length from the most anterior to the most posterior point (aTPMpTPM) is 8.60/± 0.98cm (f) and 10.18/± 0.79cm (m). The length from the most cranial point to the distal tendon (cTPMdT) is 7.90/± 0.43cm (f) and 9.79/± 1.11cm (m). Conclusions This study gives basic information about the temporalis muscle and its anatomy to support existing and future surgical procedures in their performance. The recommended minimum length of FL to perform a temporalis muscle transfer with FLA is 7.03cm for female and 5.99cm for male, and minimum width of 3 cm. We recommend harvesting some extra centimeters to allow adjusting afterward.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) establishes infection in the human gastric mucosa for a long time and causes severe gastric diseases such as peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. When H. pylori is exposed to the antibacterial agents or inhibitors, the expression of pathogenic associated genes could be altered. In this study, we analyzed the transcriptional changes of H. pylori genes induced by zerumbone treatment. RNA expression changes were analyzed using next-generation sequencing (NGS), and then reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed to verify the results. As a result of NGS analysis, a total of 23 out of 1,632 genes were differentially expressed by zerumbone treatment. RT-PCR confirmed that zerumbone treatment regulated the expression level of 14 genes. Among the genes associated with DNA replication, transcription, virulence factors and T4SS components, 10 genes (dnaE, dnaQ, rpoA, rpoD, secA, flgE, flhA, virB5, virB8 and virB9) were significantly down-regulated and 4 genes (flaA, flaB, virB4 and virD4) were up-regulated. The results of our current study imply that zerumbone might be a potential therapeutic agent for H. pylori infection by regulating factors related to various H. pylori pathogenicity.
