A 6-month-old intact female Bichon Frise dog weighing 0.9 kg presented with vomiting, anorexia, and lethargy persisting for 3 days. No remarkable abnormalities were detected on the history or physical examination. Laboratory findings were mostly normal, except for elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Abdominal radiography revealed a fluid-dilated stomach and gas-dilated intestinal loops in the regional areas. Abdominal ultrasonography was performed to investigate the cause of gastrointestinal dilation, which revealed a rectangular, homogeneous, echogenic foreign material with no shadowing in the small intestine, causing mechanical obstruction. Upon further inquiry involving detailed re-take of history with the owner, a history of ingesting dog gum 4 days prior was identified. On surgical enterotomy, the hard pet food was identified and removed from the distal duodenum. Postoperatively, the patient's clinical signs showed complete improvement, with a return to normal appetite. The present case demonstrates that less-digestible, hard pet food, despite showing no shadowing on ultrasonography, can act as a foreign material, causing mechanical intestinal obstruction in a small-breed puppy. Furthermore, surgical removal of these materials is necessary in cases of intestinal obstruction.

The microstructure of copper films prepared by a sputtering apparatus, which was fabricated to enhance the shadowing effect, was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. Black copper films were deposited on copper wires at an Ar pressure of 10 Pa. The black films had an extremely porous structure composed of separated columns. This structure is quite similar to that of black titanium films prepared by cylindrical magnetron sputtering. These results suggest that the porous structure composed of separated columns is easily formed for metal films by enhancing the shadowing effect.

UV disinfection is widely used in water treatment facilities and wastewater treatment plant because of its effectiveness to removal of pathogen and Giardia which is resistant to traditional chemical disinfection. As a design and performance tool of UV disinfection system, 3 dimensional UV intensity models were composed and simulated to compare each other and to find affecting factors in this study. Reflection, refraction and absorption are important parameters in UV intensity model and MPSS and MSSS model can reflect these parameters while LSI model can not. Absorption is the most important parameters among the reflection, refraction, absorption and shadowing so, this should not be neglect. Based on this simulation, shadowing effect is negligible when the number of installed lamp is a few but, this effect can not be neglectable when the number of installed lamp is quite a few. The errors according to shadowing effect is increased as the number of lamp installed increased.

In this paper we present a measurable version of the Smale's spectral decomposition theorem for homeomorphisms on compact metric spaces. More precisely, we prove that if a homeomorphism f on a compact metric space X is invariantly measure expanding on its chain recurrent set CR(f) and has the eventually shadowing property on CR(f), then f has the spectral decomposition. Moreover we show that f is invariantly measure expanding on X if and only if its restriction on CR(f) is invariantly measure expanding. Using this, we characterize the measure expanding diffeomorphisms on compact smooth manifolds via the notion of Ω-stability.

This paper considers the effects of simultaneous correlated multipath fading and shadowing on the performances of a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR)-based dual-branch selection combining (SC) diversity receiver. This analysis includes the presence of cochannel interference. A generalized fading/shadowing channel model in an interference-limited correlated fading environment is modeled by generalized-K distribution. Closed-form expressions are obtained for probability density function and cumulative distribution function of the SC output SIR, as well as for the outage probability. Based on this, the influence of various fading and shadowing parameter values and the correlation level on the outage probability is examined.

In this paper we analyze the performance of a DS/CDMA system in LEO mobile satellite channels. The channel uses the Extended Suzuki model which is the product of a Rician distribution having a LOS component and a lognormal distribution due to shadowing. We assume that the signal transmitted from the satellite to the mobile undergoes the same fading for the whole coverage of signal's beam. The average bit error probabilities of double coverage system is calculated in this paper. The interference resulting from the reference satellite is calculated for mobile located in the middle of the double coverage region whereas the additive interference from next-satellite is included for mobile located in the edge of the double coverage region. The performance of the mobile's receiving signal is dependent on shadowing and the interference of the next-satellite. We can obtain an obtain an improved average bit error probability by using dual diversity over the conventional correlated receiver for similar shadowing conditions in the coverage area of the satellite channel.

연구목적: 본 연구의 목적은 '스마트 안전관리 시스템'의 통신 음영지역을 해소하는 것이다. '스마트 안전관리 시스템'은 고위험 작업장(산업현장, 재난현장)에서 일하는 근로자의 실시간 데이터를 모니터링하고 중계할 수 있다. 데이터는 구조팀에게 구조작업 시 '골든 타임'을 제공한다. 연구방법: 이 연구에서 안전 태그는 사용자의 중계기 역할을 하도록 설계 및 구현되었다. 연구결과: 다시 말해, 안전 태그와 지휘부의 통신 구간에서 통신 음영이 생길 경우, 안전 태그는 해당 지역의 다른 안전 태그에 대한 중계기 역할을 한다. 결론: 이 연구는 개발한 안전 태그가 통신 음영지역이 있는 특정 건물에서 통신두절 문제가 해소되는지 테스트했다. 먼저, 안전 태그와 지휘부 단말기 사이에서 통신 음영지역을 확인했다. 동일한 상황에서 추가 안전 태그를 배포한 결과 통신 음영지역이 해소된 것으로 나타났다. 중계기 역할을 하는 안전 태그는 테스트 빌딩에서 최대 지하 3층 까지 통신 음영지역을 해소할 수 있었다.

The bit error rates of DS/SSMA DPSK system with diversity and FEC channel coding in Rayleigh fading and log-normal shadowing channel are evaluated. Microscopic postdetection diversity and macroscopic selection diversiity are used to mitigate the effects of Rayleigh fading and log-normal shadowing, respectively. The numerical results show that the composite use of diversity and channel coding is very efficient for improving system performance compared to their respective uses.

We prove that the set of k-type nonwandering points of a Z2-action T can be decomposed into a disjoint union of closed and T-invariant sets $B_1,{\ldots},B_l$ such that $T|B_i$ is topologically k-type transitive for each $i=1,2,{\ldots},l$, if T is expansive and has the shadowing property.

In this article, we study various notions on multi-valued dynamical systems. We first investigate important tools to express the systems, and prove that the notion of chain recurrence is equivalent to the notion of nonwandering set on compact metric spaces.
