Anemia is a common problem in sick dogs, and immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) is one of the most common causes of anemia in dogs. Since death can occur rapidly in dogs with IMHA even with appropriate treatment, it is important to differentiate IMHA from other causes of anemia in its first stages. To diagnose underlying diseases in anemic dogs and differentiate IMHA cases from others, 29 patient dogs suffering from severe anemia that had been referred to Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital at a National University from June 2004 to April 2005 were examined. The most common cause of anemia in the patient dogs was found to be liver disease accounting for 31.0% (9/29) of all, and the second most common was IMHA with 13.7% (4/29). Four dogs confirmed as IMHA cases all reacted positive to direct anti-globulin test and showed spherocytes and polychromatic erythrocytes in the blood smear. Most of the IMHA cases (3/4) were female aged 2 to 7 years and were in a severe state of anemia with less than 20% of PCV.

The results of protection service could be different according to, first, the potential ability of protection personnel, second, the training degree and efficiency. Namely, it depends on how to control one's anxiety and tension In order to overcome the unsettled mental state and maximize the effect of the service, the level of anxiety of personnel should be measured and the cause of the anxiety should be found. And then complete training having the proper method of alleviating anxiety could be possible. When the method of alleviating anxiety is applied, one should attend the training with a positive mind to be able to perform one's duty successfully. And by adapting the same methode and procedure used to protection service to both mental process and every situation in the condition that strained muscles relax and all one's energies are concentrated, the same methods for reducing anxiety could be used at the same time. The effect of individual method might be varied according to the personal difference, so no one can say this or that method is more efficient than others. But what is important is to choose one method and adapt it which is most proper to oneself. To use the method of reducing anxiety efficiently needs a lot of time, so one should attend the training with patience.

A SaaS cloud service represents a model deployed and running on a cloud platform to enable users to use software as an online service. This work proposes a development methodology adequate for the effective development of SaaS cloud services. For doing this, we first analyzed the current state of companies developing SaaS cloud services and identified key factors for the development of SaaS cloud services. Then, we selected and tailored the methodology that is best suited for the development of SaaS cloud services among existing software development methodologies. To validate the applicability of the proposed methodology, we performed a case study tailoring the development methodology adequate for the company developing SaaS cloud services.

This paper introduces an emotional behavior decision model based on linear system for intelligent service robots. An emotional model should make different behavior decisions according to the purpose of the robots. We propose an emotional behavior decision model which can change the character of intelligent service robots and make different behavior decisions although the situation and environment remain the same. We defined each emotional element such as reactive dynamics, internal dynamics, emotional dynamics, and behavior dynamics by state dynamic equations. The proposed system model is a linear dynamic system. If you want to add one external stimulus or behavior, you need to add just one dimensional vector to the matrix of external stimulus or behavior dynamics. The case of removing is same. The change of reactive dynamics, internal dynamics, emotional dynamics, and behavior dynamics also follows the same procedure. We implemented a cyber robot and an emotional head robot using 3D character for verifying the performance of the proposed emotional behavior decision model.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the reported good service experiences from the perspective of elderly residents of long-term care facilities. Methods: Of those residents who are 65 years old or older, 14 residents whose length of stay were one month or longer and scores of the K-Mini Mental State Examination were 15 or higher were interviewed. The interview data formed the basis for the empirical statements about the reported nature of patients' experiences as residents of long-term care facilities. These data were used in concept mapping. Results: Through multidimensional scaling analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis, 62 core statements, two dimensions, and six clusters of good service experiences were derived. The two dimensions were classified as 'care centered-participation centered services' and as 'physical-emotional services.' Six cluster themes emerged as good service experiences: 'safety of care and treatment', 'responsible and supportive staff', 'comfort of living environment', 'mental well-being', and 'respect and communication'. Conclusion: The result of the study provides information about what experiences are important to older adults with cognitive impairment. The concept map can be used to develop a patient experience index for the elderly residents of long-term care facilities.

ABR service is defined by ATM Forum and ITU for the efficient use of link bandwidth, and 2-pass service policing is proposed for this service. 2-pass service policing is effective by the real-time measurement of the used bandwidth, and this scheme obtains multiplexing gam and control efficiently ABR traffic as dynamically allocating rate by residual bandwidth information. In this study, we propose the real-time bandwidth prediction scheme for ABR traffic control, as using dynamic rate allocation by available bandwidth information. This study can obtain the simple hardware structure by means of as predicting available bandwidth by the total link bandwidth and the sum of transmission rate on the backlogged state connections.

A life insurance industry's market is reaching a state of saturation recently, and the competition is as time goes by intense among the non-life insurance industry. Consequently, the insurance companies must grope a new source of revenue and develop a new business model for a stability growth. At the forked road, the insurance companies must group the existing and new customers in order to find the royal customers, and develop a new service with them. Accordingly, it is the time to study the advance of PB field and the royal customer management that will maintain and expand the new relations with them. Besides, the PB was the service to begin in needs of the specific group, but now it is regarded as a new source of high profit in the age of universal financial service among the financial circles. As a consequence, the PB marketing is introduced in haste, and such trend seems to be continued. Therefore, the plans that help the domestic insurance company reflect the characteristic of the insurance and expand the scope of business into the scope of property management according to the needs of customers under a universal financial service trend will be studied.

Tuberculin positive cattle without gross tubercle lesions should be confirmed by the bacteriological examination to determine the state of the infection. To overcome the time-consuming and laborious identification by culture and biochemical tests, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used to identify Mycobacterium bovis. Due to various lipids in the cell wall of Mycobacterium spp, novel methods of DNA extraction from Mycobacterium spp have been developed. In this study, a newly developed guanidium isothiocyanate/silica DNA extraction method was directly applied to specimens from the tuberculin positive cattle. DNAs were directly extracted from the lymph nodes and the major polymorphic tandem repeat (MPTR) and mycobacterial protein of BCG 70 (MPB70) were amplified using PCR. The DNA extraction method using guanidium isothiocyanate/silica was efficient and safe, and the MPTR and MPB70 primers were specific to M bovis. Therefore, MPTR and MPB70 PCRs will be useful for the detection of M bovis in the lymph node from skin-test positive cattle.

In this research, a ubiquitous-based strategy for managing waterworks facilities is proposed to increase the usability of the existing related databases and to ensure the systematic way of distributing information. The current status of the existing waterworks GIS and GIS database were analyzed to achieve the goal. By studying the state-of-the-art technology, we found that importing the LBS(Location Based Service) technology to the databases is necessary. The results of these efforts are exclusive waterworks-mobile-terminals and LBS system supporting them. Furthermore, the applicability of the ubiquitous technology to waterworks has been examined to realize the real-time waterworks management.

While mobile IPTV services are supported through the mobile WiMAX networks, there must need some guaranteed bandwidth for the IPTV services especially if IPTV and non-IPTV services are simultaneously supported by the mobile WiMAX networks. The quality of an IPTV service definitely depends on the allocated bandwidth for that channel. However, due to the high quality IPTV services and to support of huge non-IPTV traffic over mobile WiMAX networks, it is not possible to guarantee the sufficient amount of the limited mobile WiMAX bandwidth for the mobile IPTV services every time. A Service Level Agreement (SLA) between the mobile IPTV service provider and mobile WiMAX network operator to reserve sufficient bandwidth for the IPTV calls can increase the satisfaction level of the mobile IPTV users. In this paper, we propose a SLA negotiation procedure for mobile IPTV users over mobile WiMAX networks. The Bandwidth Broker controls the allocated bandwidth for IPTV and non-IPTV users. The proposed dynamically reserved bandwidth for the IPTV services increases the IPTV user's satisfaction level. The simulation results state that, our proposed scheme is able to provide better user satisfaction level for the IPTV users.
