The purpose of the present study was to evaluate cardiovascular regulation during passive standing (PS) after ethanol ingestion by spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) in flushed and nonflushed subjects. Of 24 young male subjects, 8 belonged to flushed group (F) and 16 to nonflushed group (NF). Two sessions of 10-min PS were performed before and after ethanol (0.5 g/kg) ingestion. Powers of R-R interval variability in very low frequency $(VLF,\;0{\sim}0.05\;Hz),$ low frequency $(LF,\;0.05{\sim}0.15\;Hz)$ and high frequency $(HF,\;0.15{\sim}0.50\;Hz)$ bands, normalized powers (LFn and HFn) and LF/HF ratio were obtained. After ethanol ingestion, F showed higher heart rate than NF. PS increased LFn $(+22.9{\pm}3.6\;in\;NF,\;+12.8{\pm}4.7$ in F, in normalized units) and LF/HF $(+3.10{\pm}0.57\;in\;NF,\;+3.00{\pm}1.08\;in\;F)$ and decreased HFn powers. Ethanol ingestion increased LFn and LF/HF and decreased HFn. PS after ethanol resulted in higher LFn and LF/HF and lower HFn than the prior PS. F showed a greater and more sustained HRV change than NF after ethanol. In conclusion, PS or ethanol ingestion increased LFn and LF/HF and decreased HFn. Flushed subjects showed an accentuated HRV response to ethanol.

본 논문에서는 위성 OFDMA 하향링크에서 PAR을 최소화하기 위한 최적의 사용자 채널 보상기법을 제안한다. 위성 OFDMA 시스템에서는 사용자의 채널 환경에 따른 성능의 저하를 극복하기 위해 사용자의 채널 환경에 따라 전력을 제어하는 PC-OFDMA(Power Control OFDMA) 방식과 변조방식과 코딩방식을 제어하는 AMC-OFDMA(Adaptive Modulation and Coding) 방식을 사용한다. 사용자의 채널 환경에 따라 사용자 부채널(부반송파 그룹)별로 전력을 제어하는, 즉 채널이 좋지 않을 경우 더 큰 출력으로 송신하고 반대의 경우 작은 출력을 송신하는 PCOFDMA와 채널의 상태가 좋지 않은 경우 낮은 변조율과 강한 코딩을 사용하거나 채널이 좋을 경우 데이터율을 높이기 위해 높은 변조율과 약한 코딩을 사용하는 AMC-OFDMA의 PAR 성능을 비교 분석하였다. AMC-OFDMA에서는 변조방식과 부호방식으로 사용자 채널감쇠를 보상하므로 부반송파의 송신전력이 균일하지만 PC-OFDMA의 경우 사용자 부채널별로 전력을 제어하므로 전체 부반송파의 송신전력이 균일하지 않는 특성이 있는데, 부반송파의 불균등 전력은 OFDMA 송신신호의 PAR을 감소시키는 현상을 발견하였다. 또한 PC-OFDMA 방식 중에서 사용자 부채널을 이루는 부반송파의 할당방식에 따라서도 PAR 성능의 차이가 존재함을 보였다.

본 논문은 수신된 채널 정보를 이용하여 각 사용자의 성상도와 전력, 송신 안테나를 선택함으로써 중저속 이동체를 위한 환경에서의 MIMO 다중 사용자 시스템에서 성능을 분석한다. 각 사용자의 성상도와 전력, 선택되는 송신 안테나는 주어진 목표 심벌 에러 확률에서 각 사용자의 정보량과 채널의 추정 정보에 따라 MMSE, V-Blast 수신기에서 요구되는 SNR이 최소화 되도록 결정한다. 또한 중저속 이동체 환경에서의 MIMO 시스템의 상향링크 채널을 통해 기지국으로부터 유저들에게 전송하는 무선 채널 정보를 안테나 선택기법으로 전력제어를 할 때 시스템 성능을 분석한다. 모의실험을 통해, 송신 안테나를 모두 사용하여 데이터를 전송하는 것보다 선택 알고리즘을 사용하여 데이터를 전송하는 것이 독립 페이딩 채널뿐만 아니라 상관 채널에서도 상당한 성능 개선이 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다.

베르누이가 처음으로 자연수 k에 대하여 합 $S_n(k)=\sum_{{\iota}=1}^n\;{\iota}^k$에 관한 공식들을 유도하는 방법을 발견하였다([4]). 그 이후, 리만 제타함수와 관련된 베르누이 수와 오일러 수에 관한 성질들이 연구되어왔다. 최근에 김태균은 $\mathbb{Z}_p$상에서 p-진 q-적분과 관련된 확장된 q-베르누이 수와 q-오일러 수, 연속된 q-정수의 멱수의 합에 관한 성질들을 밝혔다. 본 논문에서는 연속된 q-정수의 멱수의 합에 관한 역사적 배경과 발달과정을 고찰하고, 오일러 및 베르누이 수와 관련된 리만 제타함수가 해석적 함수로써 값을 가지는 문제를 q-확장된 부분의 이론으로 연구되어온 q-오일러 제타함수에 대해 체계적으로 논의한다.

Objectives : This study was conducted to propose a new transmission/disequilibrium test(TDT) to test the linkage between genetic markers and disease-susceptibility genes based on haplotypes. Simulation studies were performed to compare the proposed method with that of Zhao et al. in terms of type I error probability and powers. Methods : We estimated the haplotype frequencies using the expectation-maximization(EM) algorithm with parents genotypes taken from a trio dataset, and then constructed a two-way contingency table containing estimated frequencies to all possible pairs of parents haplotypes. We proposed a score test based on differences between column marginals and their corresponding row marginals. The test also involved a covariance structure of marginal differences and their variances. In simulation, we considered a coalescent model with three genetic markers of biallele to investigate the performance of the proposed test under six different configurations. Results : The haplotype-based TDT statistics, our test and Zhao et al.'s test satisfied a type I error probability, but the TDT test based on single locus showed a conservative trend. As expected, the tests based on haplotypes also had better powers than those based on single locus. Our test and that of Zhao et al. were comparable in powers. Conclusion : We proposed a TDT statistic based on haplotypes and showed through simulations that our test was more powerful than the single locus-based test. We will extend our method to multiplex data with affected and/or unaffected sibling(s) or simplex data having only one parent s genotype.

Backgrounds: Inpatient Classification System for Korean Medicine (KDRG-KM) was developed and has been applied for monitoring the costs of KM hospitals. Yet severity of patients' condition is not applied in the KDRG-KM. Objectives: This study aimed to develop the severity classification methods for KDRG-KM and assessed the explanation powers of severity adjusted KDRG-KM. Methods: Clinical experts panel was organized based on the recommendations from 12 clinical societies of Korean Medicine. Two expert panel workshops were held to develop the severity classification options, and the Delphi survey was performed to measure CCL(Complexity and Comorbidity Level) scores. Explanation powers were calculated using the inpatient EDI claim data issued by hospitals and clinics in 2012. Results: Two options for severity classification were deduced based on the severity classification principle in the domestic and foreign DRG systems. The option one is to classify severity groups using CCL and PCCL(Patient Clinical Complexity Level) scores, and the option two is to form a severity group with patients who belonged principal diagnosis-secondary diagnosis combinations which prolonged length of stay. All two options enhanced explanation powers less than 1%. For third option, patients who received certain treatments for severe conditions were grouped into severity group. The treatment expense of the severity group was significantly higher than that of other patients groups. Conclusions: Applying the severity classifications using principal diagnosis and secondary diagnoses can advance the KDRG-KM for genuine KM hospitalization. More practically, including patients with procedures for severe conditions in a severity group needs to be considered.

목적: 검안렌즈에서 굴절력의 분포와 차이를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 4개 제품의 검안렌즈에 대해 광학중심과 주변부에서 굴절력을 측정하여, 굴절력의 분포와 균일성을 조사하고 국제규격과 비교하였다. 결과: 검안렌즈의 제품에 따라서 렌즈의 형상에 차이가 있으며, 국제규격의 굴절력 허용오차를 초과하는 경우가 있었다. 일부 렌즈에서 전 후면의 굴절력에서 차이, 광학중심과 주변부에서 굴절력의 차이가 발생되었으며, 원주렌즈에서 구면굴절력, 구면렌즈에서 원주굴절력이 측정되는 경우도 있었다. 결론: 검안렌즈는 굴절이상을 평가하는데 사용된다. 따라서 정확한 시력검사를 위해 검안렌즈는 좀 더 정밀한 제조가 요구되며, 이를 위해 철저한 품질관리가 필요할 것이다. 또한 검안렌즈를 사용함에 있어서 좀 더 세심한 주의와 관심이 요구된다.

A series of ZnO thin films were grown by radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering with various RF powers on $SiO_2/Si$(100) substrates at $500^{\circ}C$. Thicknesses of the investigated ZnO films were fixed to about 250nm by changing the growth time based on the changes of growth rates with RF powers. All the ZnO thin films were grown with <0001> preferred orientation. Average grain sizes of about 250nm-thick ZnO films evaluated by FE-SEM, AFM, and TEM were increased by decreasing the RF power. Structural properties addressed by FWHM values of XRD (0002) omega rocking curves and their intensities were better for the smaller grain sized ZnO films grown with high RF powers, which implies small values of tilt for smaller grain sized ZnO films. However, optical properties addressed by intensities of band edge emissions from room temperature and low temperature photoluminescence were better for the larger grain sized ZnO films with low RF power, which implies grain boundaries acted as nonradiation recombination centers.

The purpose of this study was to investigate walking standard time and joint powers of the lower extremities on the changes of illuminations in the elderly women. Ten older women ($70.90{\pm}3.28$ years, $154.70{\pm}3.47$ cm, $53.80{\pm}5.39$ kg) with normal vision and no gait disabilities participated in this study. All the experiments were performed on a level walkway from low to high lighting (six conditions). A 3-dimensional motion capturing system, force-plate, and EMG were used to acquire and analyze walking motion, force, and muscle activity data; the sampling frequency was 100 Hz, 1000 Hz and 1000 Hz respectively. To test the differences on walking standard time and joint powers of the lower extremities between the six lighting conditions, one-way repeated ANOVAs were evaluated. The following results were drawn: First, mean standard time was about 1.3 sec/stride, and velocities were smaller with lighting increasing except 100 Lx. Second, the joint power patterns of ankle and knee were not consistent, but only hip joint power was a greatest in 6 Lx and a smallest in 400 Lx. Third, standard times(100 Lx<300 Lx, 400 Lx) were statistically significant, and hip joint max powers (100 Lx>others) were also statistically significant. But ankle and knee joint max power were not statistically significant. These results showed that standard times from low to high lighting were not consistent, and hip joint of 100 Lx has a greatest rotational torque. We suggested that gait strategies of them as to changing illuminations were not consistent and findings may represent a lack of adaptability in the elderly women.

Recent years have witnessed renewed interest in Africa and public diplomacy has emerged as the vital tool being used to cultivate these relations. China has been leading in pursuing stronger economic partnership with Africa while middle powers such as Korea are also intensifying engagement with the continent. While previous studies have analyzed the implications of China's activities in Africa on advanced powers, none has examined them from the paradigm of middle powers. This study fills this gap by assessing China's activities in Africa, their economic engagement and implications for Korea's interest in Africa. The analysis is qualitative based on secondary data from various sources and literature. The study shows that China's public diplomacy strategy involves a high degree of innovation and has evolved to encompass new tools and audiences. China has institutionalized a cooperative model that permeates many aspects of governance institutions in Africa, enabling it to strengthen their relations. This could also be helping China to adjust faster leadership transitions in Africa. Whereas the US is still the most influential country in Africa, China is influential in economic policies and has outstripped the US in infrastructure diplomacy. This could be because African policy makers align more with China's economic model than the US' mainstream economics. Chinese aid to Africa has been diversified to social sectors that are more responsive to the needs of Africa. Trade and investment relations between China and Africa have deepened, but so does trade imbalance since 2010. China mainly imports natural resources and raw materials from Africa. But this product portfolio is not different from Korea and the US. China's energetic insertion in Africa using various strategies has significant implications for countries with ambitions in Africa. Korea can achieve its ambitions in Africa by focusing resources in areas it can leverage its core strengths-such as education and vocational training, environmental policy and development cooperation.
