Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the outcomes of endodontic treatment of mandibular second molar with C-shaped canal in elderly patients and related factors affecting the survival of the tooth. Materials and Methods: From 2010 to 2015, the survival rate following endodontic treatment was evaluated in elderly patients over 60 years who visited the Veterans Health Service Medical Center for endodontic treatment. The presence of C-shaped canals was confirmed using clinical records and radiographic features. Patient's age, sex, systemic diseases, tooth location, vitality, signs and symptoms, fractures, caries, apical radiolucency, canal shaping methods, sealer leakage, filling voids, and restoration of prosthesis were included in the analyses as confounding variables. The survival rate of teeth was analyzed using Kaplan-Meire analysis and the relationship between the survival rate and variables was analyzed using Simple and Multiple Cox regression analysis. Result: In total, 107 teeth in elderly patients had C-shaped canal. The survival rate of teeth that received endodontic treatment was 63.70%. None of the factors investigated significantly influenced the survival rate (P>0.05). Conclusion: In elderly patients with C-shaped canal, the survival rate after root canal treatment was not significantly different from that of other mandibular molars.

본 논문은 기존에 사용하고 있는 음성 및 저속 데이터 서비스용 이동통신 중계기가 초고속 무선데이터 서비스용 1x EV-DO 서비스에서도 적합한지 그리고 중계기의 전송 특성상 문제의 발생 여부에 대해 연구한 것이다. 이러한 시험을 하기 위해 이동통신 사업자의 무선망에 설치되어 있는 이동통신 중계기에 대해 종류별로 선정하여 중계기를 통한 1x EV-DO 신호의 전송 특성이 얼마나 열화 되는지를 현장시험 하였다. 측정 결과, 대부분의 이동통신 중계기에서 출력된 1x EV-DO 신호 전송률이 1x EV-DO AN(Access Node)로부터 직접 받는 것에 비해 데이터 전송률이 거의 저하되지 않는 정도의 특성을 보인 반면, 몇몇 이동통신 중계기는 그보다 훨씬 큰 10％의 데이터 전송률이 저하되는 특성을 보였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 데이터 전송률에서 많은 특성 저하를 나타내는 이동통신 중계기의 특성을 분석하였다. 그리고 여러 가지 환경에서 즉, 페이딩, RSSI 등에 따른 중계기의 전송 특성이 열화되는 부분에 대해 특성 시험을 하였다.

대기행렬 시스템에는 고객들의 대기시간이 지나치게 길어지는 것을 막기 위해 다양한 정책들이 적용되는데, 본 연구에서는 고객숫자에 따른 제어 정책을 갖는 유한용량 M/G/1/K 대기행렬을 분석한다. 고객의 숫자에 따라 서버의 서비스율과 고객의 도착율을 조절하는 정책이다. 두 개의 한계점(thresholds) $L_1$과 $L_2$($${\geq_-}$$L1)를 설정하고 시스템 내 고객의 숫자가 $L_1$보다 작을 때는 시스템은 보통(또는 상대적으로 느린)의 서비스율(service rate)과 보통의 도착율(arrival rate)을 갖는다. 고객의 숫자가 증가하여 $L_1$이상이고 $L_2$보다 작으면 도착율은 그대로 이지만 서비스율을 증가시켜 빠르게 서비스한다. 이후 고객의 숫자가 더욱 증가하여 $L_2$ 이상이면 고객의 도착율도 작은 값으로 바꾸어 고객을 덜 입장시킨다. 위 정책을 갖는 M/G/1/K 대기행렬을 내재점 마코프 체인과 준-마코프 과정을 이용하여 분석하고 수치예제를 제시한다.

Controlling inappropriate antibiotics prescribing for acute upper respiratory infections(URI) is a very important for prudent use of antibiotics and resistance control. Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) introduced Prescribing Evaluation Program and publicly reported antibiotics prescribing rate for URI of each health institution. We performed segmented regression analysis of interrupted time series to estimate the effect of public report on antibiotics prescribing rate using national health insurance claims data. The results indicate that just before the public report period, clinics' monthly antibiotics prescribing rate for URI was 66.7%. Right after the public report, the estimated antibiotics prescribing rate dropped abruptly by 12.3%p. There was no significant changes in month-to-month trend in the prescribing rate before and after the intervention.

We consider a generalized N-policy for an M/M/1 queueing system. The idle server starts to work with ordinary service rate when a customer arrives. If the number of customers in the system reaches N, the service rate gets faster and continues until the system becomes empty. Otherwise, the server finishes the busy period with ordinary service rate. We obtain the limiting distribution of the number of customers in the system. After assigning various operating costs to the system, we show that there exists a unique fast service rate minimizing the long-run average cost per unit time.

In this paper, the Packet CDMA Reservation ALOHA protocol is proposed to support the multi-traffic services such as voice and videophone services with handoff calls, high-rate data and low-rate data services efficiently on the multi-rate transmission in uplink cellular systems. The frame structure, composed of the access slot and the transmission slot, and the proposed access permission probability based on the estimated number of contending users for each service are presented to reduce MAI. The assured priority to the voice and the videophone handoff calls is given through higher access permission probability. And through the proposed code assignment scheme, the voice service can be provided without the voice packet dropping probability in the CDMA/PRMA protocols. The code reservation is allowed to the voice and the videophone services. The low-rate data service uses the available codes during the silent periods of voice calls and the remaining codes in the codes assigned to the voice service to utilize codes efficiently. The high-rate data service uses the assigned codes to the high-rate data service and the remaining codes in the codes assigned to the videophone service. Using the Markov-chain subsystem model for each service including the handoff calls in uplink cellular systems, the steady-state performances are simulated and analyzed. After a round of tests for the examples, through the proposed code assignment scheme and the access permission probability, the Packet CDMA Reservation ALOHA protocol can guarantee the priority and the constant QoS for the handoff calls even at large number of contending users. Also, the data services are integrated efficiently on the multi-rate transmission.

We consider an overlaid broadcast service, where a spread spectrum (SS)-based broadcast signal is overlaid onto the existing terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (T-DMB) band. The system is similar to the augmented data transmission in the ATSC DTV, for which it was investigated mostly in terms of link level performance, such as bit error rate. Our focus in this paper is on the system-level performances. More specifically, utilizing both a large scale path loss and a small scale fading channel model, the primary objective is to explore the tradeoff between the coverage and the achievable rate of the overlaid service and, finally, to determine the achievable rate in the overlaid service for marginal coverage reduction in the existing broadcast service. The analytical and simulation results show that an SS-based add-on service of 10 kbps to 20 kbps can co-exist with the T-DMB service while resulting in only a marginal degradation in T-DMB coverage (for example, less than one percent reduction).

Quality of Service (QoS) Guarantees grant ways for service providers to establish service differentiation among subscribers. On the other hand, service subscribers are also assured the level of service they paid for. In addition, the efficient level of service quality can be selected according to the subscribers' needs thus ensuring efficient use of available bandwidth. While network utility optimization techniques assure certain QoS metrics, a number of situations exist where some QoS goals are not met. The optimality of the network parameters is not mandatory to guarantee specified QoS levels. This paper proposes a joint data rate and power control scheme that guarantees service contract QoS level to a subscriber using Goal Programming. In using goal programming, this paper focuses on finding the range of feasible solutions as opposed to solving for the optimal. In addition, in case no feasible solution is found, an acceptable compromised solution is solved.
