Objectives: One way to prevent deaths due to rabies is the timely utilization of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). Therefore, in addition to an understanding of the epidemiological distribution of animal bites, it is necessary to explore the factors leading to delays in PEP initiation. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Iran in 2011, and included 7097 cases of animal bites recorded at the Rabies Treatment Center of the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences using the census method. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with delays in PEP. Results: Among the patients studied, 5387 (75.9%) were males. The prevalence of animal bites in Fars province was 154.4 per 100 000 people. Dogs were the most frequent source of exposure (67.1%), and the most common bitten part of the body was the hands (45.5%). A delay in the initiation of PEP was found among 6.8% of the studied subjects. This delay was more likely in housewives (odds ratio [OR], 4.66; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.12 to 10.23) and less likely in people with deep wounds (OR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.43 to 0.97). Conclusions: Although all animal bite victims received complete PEP, in some cases, there were delays. Further, the type of animal involved, the depth of the bite, and the patient's occupation were the major factors associated with a delay in the initiation of PEP for rabies prevention.

본 논문에서는 새로운 locking 알고리즘을 사용하여 저전력의 특정을 가지면서 locking 속도가 빠른 Register Controlled DLL(Delay-Locked Loop)을 설계하였다. Locking 속도의 향상을 위해 제안한 알고리즘은 coarse와 fine controller를 각각 동작시키는 것으로, phase detector에서 출력되는 up/down 신호를 먼저 coarse controller에 인가하여 외부 클럭과 내부 클럭의 큰 위상차를 줄이고, coarse controller를 고정시킨 상태에서 up/down 신호를 fine controller에 인가하여 미세 지연 시간을 조정하도록 하는 것이다. 또한 제안한 DLL은 dual controller를 사용하지만 locking 동작시 한 개의 controller만 동작하므로 소비 전력을 줄일 수 있었으며 lock indicator를 사용하여 좋은 지터 특성을 보였다. 제안한 DLL은 0.6 $\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS 공정 파라메타를 이용하여 설계하였고, SPICE 모의실험결과 50 MHz에서 200MHz가지 동작하였다. 200MHz 동작시 소비되는 전류는 15mA이며 모든 주파수에서 7 주기 이내에 locking 되었다.

A stochastic modeling of combat that takes more realistic situations into account has been studied with deep concern. Either the firing strategies or network formations are very important elements in the analysis of combat. The first objective of this study is to evaluate how the different strategies affect the outcomes of combat. An analytical approach has been used in an attempt to understand a small-sized battle. The results are validated and compared with existing simulation models. Extending to the moderate size of battle may be achieved with ease. Secondly, an attempt has been made to study and investigate a way to solve combat in a different fashion. We divided a two-on-two battle into two separate one-on-one battles and connected them into a network. New elements considered such as delay time of starting a firefight on a particular node or search time for the next target when a kill occurs are defined and used as the input parameters. The discussions are made to validate the hypothesized model and ask if the results are meaningful and useful in the analysis of combat operations or not.

RSFQ (Rapid Single Flux Quantum) circuits are used in many practical applications. RSFQ DFFC (Delay Flip-Flop with complementary outputs) circuits can be used in a RAM, an ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit), a microprocessor, and many communication devices. A DFFC circuit has one input, one switch input, and two outputs (output l and output 2). DFFC circuit functions in such way that output 1 follows the input and output 2 is the complement of the input when the switch input is "0." However, when there is a switch input "1."the opposite output signals are generated. In this work, we have designed an RSFQ DFFC circuit based on 1 ㎄/$\textrm{cm}^2$ niobium trilayer technology. As circuit design tools, we used Xic, WRspice, and Lmeter After circuit optimization, we could obtain the bias current margins of the DFFC circuit to be above 32％.

The series-connected semiconductor devices structure is one way to achieve a high voltage rating. However, a problem with voltage imbalance exists in which different voltages are applied to the series-connected switches. This paper proposed a new voltage balancing technique that controls the turn-off delay time of the switch by adding one bipolar junction transistor to the gate turn-off path. The validity of the proposed method is proved through simulation and experiment. The proposed active gate driver not only enables voltage balancing across a variety of current ranges but also has a greater voltage balancing performance compared with conventional RC snubber methods.

Tree routing is one of appropriate routing schemes in wireless sensor network because the complexity of this approach is relatively low. But, congestion at a specific node may happen because a parent node toward a sink node is usually selected in one hop way, specially where large number of node are deployed. As feasible solution for this problem, multiple paths and sinks schemes can be applied. However, the performance of these schemes are not proved and analyzed yet. In this paper, we conduct diverse simulaton scenarios performance evaluation for these cases to identify the improvement and analyze the impact of schemes. The performance is measured in the aspects of packet transmission rate, throughput, and end-to-end delay as a function of amount of network traffic.

철골구조의 확산과 보편화에 따른 건설산업의 대형화, 복합화 추세에 따라 건설 프로젝트의 수행 과정 중 수반되는 작업지연과 같은 불확실성 리스크 요소는 프로젝트의 공기증가, 비용상승, 품질저하로 이어지며 프로젝트의 성패에 영향을 미치는 중요한 관리요소로 간주되고 있다. 이에 전체 프로젝트의 완성도에 영향을 미치는 불확실성 요소에 관한 체계적인 관리방안이 요구되고 있으며, 건설 프로젝트 수행시 발생가능한 작업지연요인을 분석하고 이를 관리하는 것은 건설사업의 확실성을 높일 뿐만 아니라 경쟁력을 높이는 방법이라 할 수 있다. 이러한 측면에서 작업지연요인의 효율적인 관리를 위해서는 각 항목간 정량적 분석방법에 의한 우선순위를 산정하여 해당 공정별로 중점 관리하는 노력이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 철골공사를 대상으로 공정별 작업지연요인을 파악하고, FMEA를 활용한 작업지연요인별 중요도의 정량적 수치화를 통하여 작업지연요인을 효과적으로 제거하고 관리할 수 있도록 공정별 코드화한 중점관리항목을 제시함으로써 효과적 관리 및 작업 지연 예방을 위한 기초적 자료를 제공하고자 하였다.

Time comparison is necessary for the verification and synchronization of the clock. Two-way satellite time and frequency (TWSTFT) is a method for time comparison over long distances. This method includes errors such as atmospheric effects, satellite motion, and environmental conditions. Ionospheric delay is one of the significant time comparison error in case of the carrier-phase TWSTFT (TWCP). Global Ionosphere Map (GIM) from Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE) is used to compare with Bernese. Thin shell model of the ionosphere is used for the calculation of the Ionosphere Pierce Point (IPP) between stations and a GEO satellite. Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) and Koganei (KGNI) stations are used, and the analysis is conducted at 29 January 2017. Vertical Total Electron Content (VTEC) which is generated by Bernese at the latitude and longitude of the receiver by processing a Receiver Independent Exchange (RINEX) observation file that is generated from the receiver has demonstrated adequacy by showing similar variation trends with the CODE GIM. Bernese also has showed the capability to produce high resolution IONosphere map EXchange (IONEX) data compared to the CODE GIM. At each station IPP, VTEC difference in two stations showed absolute maximum 3.3 and 2.3 Total Electron Content Unit (TECU) in Bernese and GIM, respectively. The ionospheric delay of the TWCP has showed maximum 5.69 and 2.54 ps from Bernese and CODE GIM, respectively. Bernese could correct up to 6.29 ps in ionospheric delay rather than using CODE GIM. The peak-to-peak value of the ionospheric delay for TWCP in Bernese is about 10 ps, and this has to be eliminated to get high precision TWCP results. The $10^{-16}$ level uncertainty of atomic clock corresponds to 10 ps for 1 day averaging time, so time synchronization performance needs less than 10 ps. Current time synchronization of a satellite and ground station is about 2 ns level, but the smaller required performance, like less than 1 ns, the better. In this perspective, since the ionospheric delay could exceed over 100 ps in a long baseline different from this short baseline case, the elimination of the ionospheric delay is thought to be important for more high precision time synchronization of a satellite and ground station. This paper showed detailed method how to eliminate ionospheric delay for TWCP, and a specific case is applied by using this technique. Anyone could apply this method to establish high precision TWCP capability, and it is possible to use other software such as GIPSYOASIS and GPSTk. This TWCP could be applied in the high precision atomic clocks and used in the ground stations of the future domestic satellite navigation system.

Opportunistic routing was originally introduced in various multihop network environments to reduce the number of hops in such a way that, among the relays that decode the transmitted packet for the current hop, the one that is closest to the destination becomes the transmitter for the next hop. Unlike the conventional opportunistic routing case where there is a single active S-D pair, for an ad hoc network in the presence of fading, we investigate the performance of parallel opportunistic multihop routing that is simultaneously performed by many source-destination (S-D) pairs to maximize the opportunistic gain, thereby enabling us to obtain a logarithmic gain. We first analyze a cut-set upper bound on the throughput scaling law of the network. Second, computer simulations are performed to verify the performance of the existing opportunistic routing for finite network conditions and to show trends consistent with the analytical predictions in the scaling law. More specifically, we evaluate both power and delay with respect to the number of active S-D pairs and then, numerically show a net improvement in terms of the power-delay trade-off over the conventional multihop routing that does not consider the randomness of fading.

부산신항의 환적화물 처리물량은 지속적으로 늘어나 전체 물동량의 50%를 넘기고 있지만 작업자의 경험에 의존한 작업의 순서 결정에 따라 효율적인 환적화물 운송이 이루어지고 있다고 보기 힘들다. 특히, 외부 트럭이 필요한 경우가 많은 타부두 환적은 작업 상황에 따라 차량 대기로 인한 과도한 혼잡으로 물류비 증가와 사회적 비용이 발생하게 된다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 방법 중 하나는 트럭의 단일 운송을 최소화하고 작업을 마친 트럭을 다른 작업에 투입하여 활용하는 듀얼 사이클 운송을 최대화하는 것이다. 이에 따라, 본 연구에서는 컨테이너 터미널간 환적화물의 듀얼 사이클 운송을 위한 방안에 대해 연구하고자 한다.
