Polymeric micellar enhanced ultrafiltration method using a new type of polyrmer, $\alpha$-allyl-$\omega$-methoxy polyoxyethlene and maleic anhydride copolymer (AKM-0531, Mw 15, 000), has been proposed to separate 1-naphthylamine as a weak cationic toxic organic solubilizate. Enhancement effect of polymeric micelle was identified by the ultrafiltration runs using polyacryronitrile(PAN) holow fiber membrane with molecular weight cut off 6, 000. The linear dependance of flux on the pressure difference is shown to be valid up to 0.6kg/${cm}^2$ and the rate of flux increase in response to change in the pressure is gradually reduced under the pressure difference. Rejection of 0.96 was observed for f mM of 1-naphthylamine with 2 wt.% polymer solution at the conditions of 0.4kg/${cm}^2$, natural pH. and $25^{\circ}C$ Solubilization of 1-naphthylamine into the polymeric micelle enhanced the separation efficiency.

Background: Uncooperative behavior of children due to dental anxiety may interfere with the effective delivery of dental care and compromise the quality of treatment provided. Injection of local anesthesia is one of the most anxiety-inducing stimuli in pediatric dentistry. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of a child-friendly device, having a combined effect of vibration and distraction, with the conventional method of injection on pain, anxiety, and behavior of pediatric patients aged 6-11 years. Methods: This randomized, crossover, split-mouth study included 30 children requiring a bilateral inferior alveolar nerve block. The children were equally divided into two groups: group 1, aged 6-8 and group 2, aged 9-11 years. All children were injected with anesthesia using the conventional and device method in two separate sessions. They were assessed for anxiety by measuring the pulse rate before and during the administration of local anesthesia. Behavior was assessed using Faces, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scale, and the child's experience while receiving anesthesia was assessed using the Wong Bakers Pain Rating Scale. Results: Results showed that the children who received local anesthesia using the device method had a lower mean pulse rate, FLACC scores, and pain rating scores than those who received local anesthesia using the conventional method. Conclusion: The device method was more effective than the conventional method in managing pain, anxiety, and behavior of patients aged 6-11 years. The device is a cost effective, simple, and child-friendly product for administrating local anesthesia in pediatric patients.

In the mass spectrum of the mass spectrometer, the spectrum of the low peak adjacent to the spectrum having the high peak value is connected to each other and thus the separation is difficult. This inter-spectral overlap causes degradation of the mass spectral detection performance and resolution. In this paper, we propose a method to improve the mass spectrum detection performance and peak accuracy of residual gas analyzer. The type discrimination according to the characteristics of the ion signal block and the pre-correction for the peak position error can separate and detect the spectrum of the low peak connected to the adjacent spectra. To verify the performance of the proposed method, we compared the proposed method with the conventional method in simulations using actual ion signals obtained from the mass spectrometer under development.

In this paper, this is a study on the correction of protection relays to monitor temporary power facilities for storage tanks especially transformers to block and protect faults such as insulation breakdown. When an abnormality such as a short circuit or a ground fault occurs in the power system, it is important to detect this quickly cut off the device and equipment in which the fault occurred and separate it from the power system to correct the protection relay so that it does not interfere with power supply. In addition the fault current calculation that accurately applies the fault type and the cause of the fault for protection cooperation will be the most important factor in the correction of the protection relay. For protection coordination a study was conducted on the method of coordination for protection of power facility protection for storage tanks such as over current relay, ground over current relay, under voltage relay, and ground over voltage relay applied to temporary.

This study is a system development for voice information protection equipment in major meetings and places requiring security. Security performance and stability were secured with information leakage prevention technology through generation of false noise and ultrasonic waves. The cutoff frequency band for blocking the leakage of voice information, which has strong straightness due to the nature of the radio wave to the recording prevention module, blocks the wideband frequency of 20~20,000Hz, and the deception jamming technology is applied to block the leakage of voice information, greatly improving the security. To solve this problem, we developed a system that blocks the recording of a portable smartphone using a battery, and made the installation of a separate device smaller and lighter so that customers do not recognize it. In addition, it is necessary to continuously study measures and countermeasures for efficiently using the output of the anti-recording speaker for long-distance recording prevention.

Nand flash memory requires an Erase-Before-Write operation structurally. In order to solve this problem, it can be solved by classifying a page (hot data page) where data update operation occurs frequently and storing it in a separate block. The MHF (Multi Hash Function Framework) technique records the frequency of data update requests in the system memory, and when the recorded value exceeds a certain standard, the data update request is judged as hot data. However, the method of simply counting only the frequency of the data update request has a limit in judging it as accurate hot data. In addition, in the case of a technique that determines the persistence of a data update request, the fact of the update request is recorded sequentially based on a time interval and then judged as hot data. In the case of such a persistence-based method, its implementation and operation are complicated, and there is a problem of inaccurate judgment if frequency is not considered in the update request. This paper proposes a lightweight hot data determination technique that considers both frequency and persistence in data update requests.

Since in-place updates for pages are not allowed in flash memory, all new page writes should be written in an out-of-place manner. The old overwritten pages are invalidated. Such invalidated pages eventually trigger the costly garbage collection process. Since the garbage collection causes numerous read and write operations, it is one of the flash memory's major performance issues. In 2R, it modified the garbage collection algorithm, which applies the I/O characteristics of the On-Line Transaction Process workload to improve the Write Amplification Factor. However, this algorithm has a region pollution problem. Therefore, in this paper, we developed 2R++ that additionally separates pages with long access intervals to solve the region pollution problem. 2R++ introduces an extra bit per block to separate warm pages based on a second chance mechanism. Prevents warm pages from being misidentified as cold pages to solve region pollution problem. We conducted the experiments on TPC-C and Linkbench to make the performance comparison. The experiment showed that 2R++ achieved a Write Amplification Factor improvement of 57.8% and 13.8% compared to 2R, respectively.

Emotion recognition is an essential component of complete interaction between human and machine. The issues related to emotion recognition are a result of the different types of emotions expressed in several forms such as visual, sound, and physiological signal. Recent advancements in the field show that combined modalities, such as visual, voice and electroencephalography signals, lead to better result compared to the use of single modalities separately. Previous studies have explored the use of multiple modalities for accurate predictions of emotion; however the number of studies regarding real-time implementation is limited because of the difficulty in simultaneously implementing multiple modalities of emotion recognition. In this study, we proposed an emotion recognition system for real-time emotion recognition implementation. Our model was built with a multithreading block that enables the implementation of each modality using separate threads for continuous synchronization. First, we separately achieved emotion recognition for each modality before enabling the use of the multithreaded system. To verify the correctness of the results, we compared the performance accuracy of unimodal and multimodal emotion recognitions in real-time. The experimental results showed real-time user emotion recognition of the proposed model. In addition, the effectiveness of the multimodalities for emotion recognition was observed. Our multimodal model was able to obtain an accuracy of 80.1% as compared to the unimodality, which obtained accuracies of 70.9, 54.3, and 63.1%.

The absorbed dose and contaminant electron distribution of therapeutic X-ray beam (15MV photon) was studied with a half blocked beams of 30$\times$30$\textrm{cm}^2$ and field size ranging from 5$\times$5 to 30$\times$30$\textrm{cm}^2$. For a 15MV photon beam energy, the value of the depth of dose maximum, d$_{max}$, gradually decrease with increasing field size from 5$\times$5 to 30$\times$30$\textrm{cm}^2$ due to mainly by contaminant electrons which are produced in the flattening filter and scattered by collimator jaws, tray holder〔Lucite〕, blocking block and air. The results suggest that separate dosimetry data should be kept for blocked and unblocked field. The inherence of the contaminant electrons to the open field depth of maximum dose can lead to mistaken results if attenuation measurements are made at that depth. A nurmerous contaminant electrons mainly were distributed as shape of corn in the central photon beam and their path length in the water were shorter than 30mm because of the electrons energy having around 6MeV. These results clearly appears that the substraction of scattered electrons (electrons and positrons) from the total depth dose curve not only lowers the absolute dose in the bulidup region and surface dose, it also causes a shift of d$_{max}$ to a deeper depth. In the terapeutic high energy photon beam, the absorbed dose near the buildup region is the combined result of incident contaminant electrons and phantom generated electronsrons.

Objective: The hull attached to the barley kernel can be mechanically removed thus reducing the fiber content of the barley. This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of partial dehulling on the nutrient digestibility as well as the digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) content of barley in pigs. Methods: Two hulled barley samples (high fiber barley [HF] and low fiber barley [LF]) with either high or low fiber contents were obtained from the Hubei and Jiangsu Provinces of China. A portion of the two barleys was mechanically dehulled (dehulled high fiber barley [DHF] and dehulled low fiber barley [DLF]). Thirty barrows (initial $BW=31.5{\pm}3.2kg$) were assigned to one of five diets in a randomized complete block design. The five diets consisted of 96.9% corn, HF, LF, DHF, or DLF supplemented with 3.1% minerals and vitamins. Each diet was fed to six barrows housed in individual metabolism crates for a 10-d acclimation period followed by a 5-day total but separate collection of feces and urine. Results: The daily loss of gross energy (GE) in feces was lower (p<0.01) for pigs fed DHF than for those fed HF. The daily N intake and fecal N loss were lowest (p<0.01) for pigs fed the corn diet. The DE and ME as well as the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of dry matter, GE, organic matter, neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) of DHF or DLF were higher (p<0.01) than the values in HF and LF, respectively while the values except the ATTD of NDF and ADF in DLF were higher (p<0.01) than the values in DHF and were comparable to corn. Conclusion: The DE and ME contents as well as the ATTD of nutrients in both DHF and DLF barley were improved compared with the HF and LF barley. Moreover, the nutritive value of DLF barley was comparable to the yellow-dent corn used in the study.
