  • Pervasive developmental disorder is one of the most severe clinical disorder in child psychiatry and is associated with deviancies in multiple areas of development. Medication does not cure pervasive developmental disorder and its effectiveness is generally nonspecific. But psychopharmacological treatment can be important for some children with pervasive developmental disorder and can make many young autistics more amenable to behavior modification and education. Haloperidol, the most widely studied antipsychotics, was statistically and clinically superior to placebo, and furthermore, was known to facilitate the positive functioning such as, discrimination learning and imitative communication, without side effects. However, administration of haloperidol is associated with drug related dyskinesia, and it warrants the introduction and use of the other novel drugs. Several biochemical studies suggest that subgroups of children with pervasive developmental disorder show hyperserotonemia and increased endogenous opioid level as compared with controls. Psychopharmacological trials were conducted according to these findings(ex : fenfluramine, naltrexone), with mixed results till now. These and another drugs that have been used in children with pervasive developmental disorder and their effectiveness are reviewed.

  • 최근의 개인 휴대 장치들의 급속한 발전에 힘입어 pervasive computing 환경은 인프라 시스템의 제약에서 벗어나 개인 장치들의 협력에 의해서 상황에 맞는 서비스를 제공 받을 수 있도록 변하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 ad hoc pervasive 환경은 기존의 스마트 스페이스에서 보다 동적인 변화가 더욱 많은 환경이기 때문에 pervasive computing을 위한 기능들 중에서도 자원 관리가 가장 중요한 역할을 해야 한다. Pervasive computing 환경에서 자원 관리는 자원 모니터링(Resource Monitoring), 자원 발견(Resource Discovery), 자원 할당(Resource Allocation), 자원 적응(Resource Adaptation)의 4가지의 주요 기능으로 구분 될 수 있고, 동적인 변화가 많은 환경에서는 무엇보다도 자원 모니터링이 가장 중요시 되어야 한다. 자원 모니터링에서 정보의 수집은 pull이나 push 방식으로 이루어질 수 있는데, pull 방식은 사용자 요구에 맞춰 요구 했을 때의 가장 최신의 정보를 모아 줄 수 있다. 따라서 이는 자원 발견에 가장 적합하지만 언제 정보 수집을 요청할지는 정보 소비자의 입장에서는 알 수 없기 때문에 push 방식이 다른 여러 기능들을 지원하기 위해서 보다 적절하다. 하지만 대부분의 push 방식은 주기적으로 자신의 정보를 광고하는 방식으로 이루어 진다. 하지만 상황 적응(adaptation)입장에서 봤을 때 특정 수준의 민첩성을 요구하기 위해서는 광고주기를 조절 해야 하고, 이때 필요 이상으로 네트워크의 사용량을 늘릴 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라 변화가 많은지 적은지 등의 각 단말의 상황은 무시된 채 모든 단말들이 동일한 주기로 정보를 광고한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결 하기 위해서 본 논문은 자원 정보 제공자의 상황을 고려한 자원 정보 광고 기법을 제안한다.

  • Pervasive developmental disorders are characterized by lifelong impairments in fundamental social and/or communication skills and by the presence of seemingly purposeless and repetitive behaviors, interests, or activities. A number of possible biological etiologies, including genetic, structural and functional brain abnormalities, have been identified in patients with pervasive developmental disorders. In addition, clinicians should take the possibility of comorbid psychiatric conditions into consideration when making the differential diagnosis of pervasive developmental disorders.

  • In this paper, a novel power management structure for an energy harvesting pervasive system is proposed. The system considers the power state of each subsystem to assign proper power sources. The switch matrix structure utilizes each power source to reduce the peak current of the battery. The power management structure can be interfaced to an embedded system power supply without significant design change.

  • With the rapidity of the development on electronic technology, various mobile devices are produced to make human life more convenient. The user is always in constant search of middle with ease of deployment. Therefore, the development of infrastructure and application with ubiquitous nature gets a growing keen interest. Recently, the number of pervasive network services is expanding into ubiquitous computing environment. To get desired services, user presents personal details about this identity, location and private information. The information transmitted and the services provided in pervasive computing environments (PCEs) are exposed to eavesdropping and various attacks. Therefore, the need to protect this environment from illegal accesses has become extremely urgent. In this paper, we propose an anonymous authentication and access control scheme to secure the interaction between mobile users and services in PCEs. The proposed scheme integrates a biometric authentication in PKI model. The proposed authentication aims to secure access remote in PCE for guaranteeing reliability and availability. Our authentication concept can offer pervasive network service users convenience and security.

  • Objective : This study aims to compare children with and without pervasive developmental disorders in terms of the sensory processing ability and behavioral characteristic of oral feeding. This study also aims to identify correlation between sensory processing and characteristics of eating. Methods : The subjects of this research were normal children and those who have diagnosis of a pervasive developmental disorder, aged from 4 to 6. The research instruments were composed of Short Sensory Profile (SSP), Brief Autism Mealtime Behavior Inventory (BAMBI) and Food Items of the Sensory Checklist. Data collection was done by a professional survey institute located in 10 cities including Busan, South Korea. The survey questionnaires were distributed to 455 parents of children with and without pervasive developmental disabilities through the survey institutes. Total 263 answers were collected out of 455 questionnaires (62%) and 154 answers were used in data analysis. Out of 154 answers, 45 were for children with pervasive developmental disabilities and 109 were for normal children. Data analysis was done to identify correlations between sensory processing and characteristics of eating such as eating behavior and oral feeding. Results : 1. There was a significant difference between children with and without pervasive developmental disorders in all area of sensory processing ability (p<.05). 2. There was no difference between children with and without pervasive developmental disorders in eating behavior (p=0.881) and oral feeding (p=0.324). 3. In the group of children with a pervasive developmental disorders, it is found that there is negative correlation between sensory processing, eating behavior and oral feeding (r=-0.384, p<.01). 4. A remarkable significant correlation was found between sensory processing and eating behavior especially in taste/smell sensitivity (r=-0.6, p<.01) and auditory filtering (r=-0.326, p<.05). The correlation between sensory processing and oral feeding was most significant in under responsiveness/seeking sensation (r=-0.372, p<.05) and auditory filtering (r=-0.382, p<.05). Conclusion : This study found that there are significant correlations between sensory processing ability and some characteristics of eating behaviors for children with pervasive developmental disorders. This information can be useful to develop a program to intervene eating behavior problems of children with pervasive developmental disorders.

  • Sharing geo-tagged photos has been a hot social activity in the daily life because these photos not only contain geo information but also indicate people's hobbies, intention and mobility patterns. However, the present raw geo-tagged photo routes cannot provide information as enough as complete GPS trajectories due to the defects hidden in them. This paper mainly aims at analyzing the large amounts of geo-tagged photos and proposing a novel travel route restoring method. In our approach we first propose an Interest Measure Ratio to rank the hot spots based on density-based spatial clustering arithmetic. Then we apply the Hidden Semi-Markov model and Mean Value method to demonstrate migration discipline in the hot spots and restore the significant region sequence into complete GPS trajectory. At the end of the paper, a novel experiment method is designed to demonstrate that the approach is feasible in restoring route, and there is a good performance.

  • Data transmission in poor environment like underwater has considerably serious delay rate and ewer rate. Like this environment usually has heavy fluctuation of error rate and limited wireless communication state. Therefore, mechanism using in such environment has to be efficient and simple. This paper suggests a new block ack mechanism, called the Pervasive Block ACK (PBA), which transmits aggregated ACKs. This mechanism takes effect on reducing number of traffic, decreasing overhead and delay rate in poor environment networks like underwater. Additionally, we can expect energy consumption. We verify propriety and efficiency of PBA through describing numerical result based analytical formula in this paper.

  • The health care system revolutionized by the use of information and communication technologies. Computer information processing and electronic communication technologies play an increasingly important role in the area of health care. We propose a new role based access control model for pervasive health care systems, which changed location, time, environment information. Also our model can be solved the occurrence of an reduction authority problem to pervasive health care system at emergency environment. We propose a new role based access control model for pervasive health care systems, which combines role-to-role delegations, negative permission, context concept and dynamic context aware access control. With out approach we aim to preserver the advantages of RBAC and offer groat flexibility and fine-grained access control in pervasive healthcare information systems.
