  • 최근 많은 임베디드 시스템에서 통신이나 멀티미디어의 다양한 표준을 지원해야 하는 요구가 끊이지 않고 있다. 그러나 현실적으로 임베디드 시스템에서 요구하는 만큼의 표준이나 프로토콜을 위한 별개의 가속 IP들을 갖는 것은 불가능할 뿐만 아니라 상당히 힘든 작업이다. 그러므로 다양한 표준을 지원할 수 있는 가속 IP를 개발하는 것은 위와 같은 현재의 임베디드 시스템에서 요구하는 트렌드에 있어 중요하다 할 수 있다. 다양한 기능을 수행하는 하드웨어는 일반적으로 실행 환경이나 시스템 설정에 따라 다양한 기능들을 지원하기 위하여 동적으로 즉, 실행시간에 재구성 가능한 DSP를 사용하고 있다. 그러나 하나의 IP가 다양한 기능을 수행시키기 위해서는 필수불가결적으로 추가적인 면적을 차지하거나 추가적인 전력소모가 따른다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 동적으로 재구성 가능한 하드웨어의 파워 소모를 줄이기 위해 정교한 클럭 게이팅을 사용하였고 또한 동적으로 재구성 가능한 하드웨어의 면적을 줄이기 위해 배럴 시프터(barrel shifter)를 이용한 곱셈기를 사용하여 메모리의 계수(Coefficient) 부분을 압축을 통해 메모리의 면적을 줄였다. 실행시간에 재구성 가능한 IP는 유사하지만 다른 기능들을 효과적으로 수행하기 때문에 이런 다기능 재구성 가능한 DSP IP의 전력소모를 성능에 영향 없이 줄이는 것은 상당히 난해한 일이다. 본 논문에서 제안한 정교한 클럭 게이팅은 동적으로 재구성 가능한 시스템에 아주 효율적으로 적용되었고 효과적인 결과를 도출하였다. 실험 결과는 본 논문에서 제시한 기법을 사용했을 시 사용하지 않았을 경우보다 최대 24%정도의 파워 절감 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 면적을 줄이기 위해서 기존의 일반적인 곱셈기를 사용하는 대신에 배럴 시프터(barrel shifter)를 이용한 곱셈기를 설계해 적용하였다. 기존 곱셈기를 제안한 곱셈기로 바꾸면 설계한 재구성 가능한 DSP의 구조상 많은 면적을 줄이는 것이 가능했다. 기존 곱셈기에 비해 제안된 곱셈기는 면적은 42%가 줄었으며, 전체적인 재구성 가능한 DSP의 면적에서 14% 감소한 결과를 도출하였다. 그러므로 본 논문은 재구성 가능한 특성을 갖는 IP의 단점인 파워 소모와 추가적인 면적을 효과적으로 보완한 면에 있어 큰 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다.

  • Central venous catheter (CVC) for long-term venous access is indispensable for various reasons including hyperalimentation, frequent blood sampling, frequent IV drug use in pediatric patients. We report clinical experience of surgical neonates in whom CVC was inserted primarily via great saphenous vein into suprarenal inferior vena cava. From March 2004 to March 2006, we performed CVC insertion via saphenous vein - contralateral side to main wound - into suprarenal inferior vena cava in surgeries of neonates. 2.7Fr or 4.2Fr, single lumen, tunneled Broviac catheters (Bard Access system, Inc, Salt Lake City, Utah) were used. Skin exit site of tunneled catheter was located in ipsilateral flank area just below edge lower rib. At the end of the procedure, location of the catheter tip was confirmed by plain radiography of abdomen. We retrospectively reviewed the admission records of the patients including nursing staff charts. Nine (50.0 %) patients were male and nine (50.0%) were female. Median gestational age was 38 weeks (range, 29-42 weeks) and median birth weight was 3,105 gm (range, 1,040-3,720 gm). Median age at catheter insertion was 38.5 days (range, 1-236 days). The purpose of CVC insertion was short-and long-term hyperalimentation in nine (50.0 %) patients. CVC insertion was performed in operation room under general anesthesia in sixteen (88.9 %) patients (in these cases, CVC insertion was performed just prior to concurrent operation) and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) under local anesthesia with adequate sedation in two (11.2%). During the admission period (total catheter-indwelling time: 553 days), CVC functioned well without any significant side effects. Transient swelling of the ipsilateral leg (n=1, 5.6 %) and transient migration of catheter tip (n=1, 5.6 %) were noted, which did not affect function of the indwelled CVC. Mean catheter-indwelling time was 30.7days (range, 3-72 days). All catheters were removed electively except two mortality case. Complications, such as thrombosis, infection, kinking or extravasation of drugs, were not observed in our study period. Tunneled trans-great saphenous vein inferior vena cava catheters are not only comparable to cervical CVCs in terms of function and complication rates, but also very beneficial in selected patients, especially those in whom cervical approach is technically impossible or contraindicated.

  • Objective: To improve the diagnosis of primary gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) with/without hepatic metastases by analyzing our experience of different GBC treatment in our patients. Methods: A retrospective study was carried out to analyze the clinical data of the 139 patients with GBC who underwent hepatic resection in our unit from January 2003 to December 2007. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether they demonstrated hepatic invasion. Tumor presentation, surgical modes, and prognosis of each patient were retrospectively reviewed. Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests were employed to compare the survival rates of those patients undergoing different surgical procedures. Results: Of the 139 patients, 46 were men and 93 were women with the male to female ratio of 1:2.0. Their ages were ranged from 35 to 86 years with a mean age of $62.8{\pm}10.4$ years. There were 73 patients complicated with hepatic invasion (group A), and no hepatic invasion occurred in the other 66 patients (group B). Compared with the group B, the patients with hepatic invasion suffered lower differentiation of tumor (p=0.000), more advanced Nevin staging (p=0.008) and poorer prognosis (p=0.013). Radical resection were more frequently performed in group B (75.76%) than in group A (45.20%) with better outcomes (p=0.000). Conclusion: GBC patients complicated with hepatic invasion had poorer prognosis than those without invasion in long-term follow-ups. Radical resection might result in a satisfied prognosis in patients without hepatic invasion, but appears less favorable than palliative resection in those who were complicated with hepatic invasion.

  • Changing concepts of health care, are stimulating the demand for health care, thereby orienting society to health care rights to such an extent that they are deemed as fundamental ones inalienable to man. Concomitantly, qualitative as well as quantative improvement is being sought in the nursing service field. Today, efforts are being made in various areas, especially to qualitatively improve nursing services. A second issue concerns proper staffing. It is important to study staffing, in as much as it continues to be the most persistent and critical problem facing hospital nursing administrators today. It involves quantity, quality, and utilization of nursing personnel. A great deal of attention has been focused on this problem since mid 1930's when nursing services began to be felt as an important segment of hospital operation representing the largest single item of hospital budgets. Traditionally, the determination and allocation of nursing personnel resources has relied heavily on gloval approaches which make use of fixed staff-to-patient ratios. It has long been recognized that these ratios are insensitive to variations between institutions and among individual patients. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to point to the urgent need for the development of methodology and criteria suited to the reality of Korea. The present research selected one place, the W Christian Hospital, and was conducted over a period 10 days from January, and nurses who were them on duty in their unit. The total num-her of patients surveyed was 1,426 and that of 354. The research represents many variables affecting the direct patient care time using the result from the direct observation method, then using a calculation method to estimate the relationship between the patients care time and selected variables in the hospital setting. The amount of direct patient care time varies with many factors, such 89 the patients age. diagnosis and time in hospital. Differences are also found from hospital, clinic to clinic, ward to ward, and even shift to shift. In this research, the calculation method of estimating the required member of nursing staff is obtained by dividing the time of productive patient care activity(with the time of patient care observed), by the sum of the productive time that each the staff can supply, i.e., 360 minutes, which is obtained by deducting the time for personal activities. The results indicate a substantial difference between the time of productive patient care observed directing and the time of the productive patient care estimated using calculating method. If we know accurately the time of the direct patient care on a shift, there required number of staff members calculated if the proper method can be determinded should be able the time of the direct patient care be estimated by the patient classification system, but this research has shown this system to be in accurate in Korea. There are differences in the recommended time of productive patient care and the required number of nursing staff depending upon which method is used. The calculated result is not very accurate, so more research is needed on the patient classification system.

  • This study was performed to investigate the changes of mandibular condyle by low calcium diet and the effects of irradiation on the bone in osteoporotic state. In order to carry out this experiment, 80 seven-week old Sprague-Dawley strain rats weighing about 150 gm were selected and equally divided into one experimental group of 40 rats and one control group with the remainder. The experimental group and the control group were then subdivided into two group and exposed to irradiation. The two irradiation groups received a single dose of 20 Gy on the jaw area only and irradiated with a cobalt-60 teletherapy unit. The rats in the control and experimental groups were serially terminated by fours on the 3rd, the 7th, the 14th, and the 21st day after irradiation. After termination, both sides of the dead rats mandibular condyle were removed and fixed with 10% neutral formalin. The bone mineral density of mandibular condyle was measured by use of dual energy X-ray bone densitometer(model DDX-alpha, Lunn Corp., U. S. A.). The mandibular condyle was radiographed with Hitex HA-80(Hitex Co., Japan). Thereafter, the obtained radiographs were observed, and the mandibular condyle was further decalcified and embedded in paraffin as the general method. The specimen sectioned and stained with hematoxylin-eosin, PAS and Rabbit Anti-Human Tumor Necrosis Factor-a observed by a light microscope. The obtained results were as follows: 1. In the non-irradiated group with the low calcium diet, the bone mineral density of the condyle was markedly decreased after 14 days, and decrease the number of trabeculae of the condyle and resorption of the calcified cartilaginous zone were observed after 3 days. On microscopic observations, the number nd size of trabeculae were decreased after 7 days of experiment. 2. In the irradiated group with the low calcium diet, the bone mineral density of the condyle was markedly decreased after 14 days and resorption of the calcified cartilaginous zone and decrease the number and coarse of the trabeculae of the condyle were observed. These findings were extended rather than in non-irradiated group with low calcium diet. On microscopic observations, many osteoclasts were detected and the number and size of trabeculae were somewhat decreased after 7 days. Also there was degenerative changes of tissues of bone marrow on the 14th day but that condition was restored on the 21st day of experiment. 3. In the irradiated group with normal diet, the bone mineral density of the condyle was somewhat decreased with times and degree of decrease of the number of trabeculae was somewhat larger than in the non-irradiated group with normal diet. On microscopic observations, the tissues of bone marrow were atrophic and degenerative changes but that condition was restored on the 21st day of experiment. 4. In immunocytochemical findings, in the irradiated and non-irradiated groups with low calcium diet, negative or partial positive response to TNF was observed, but positive response in the normal diet groups.

  • The plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are specialized hybrid electric vehicles that have the potential to obtain enough energy for average daily commuting from batteries. The PHEV battery would be recharged from the power grid at home or at work and would thus allow for a reduction in the overall fuel consumption. This paper proposes an integrated power electronics interface for PHEVs, which consists of a novel Eight-Switch Inverter (ESI) and an interleaved DC/DC converter, in order to reduce the cost, the mass and the size of the power electronics unit (PEU) with high performance at any operating mode. In the proposed configuration, a novel Eight-Switch Inverter (ESI) is able to function as a bidirectional single-phase AC/DC battery charger/ vehicle to grid (V2G) and to transfer electrical energy between the DC-link (connected to the battery) and the electric traction system as DC/AC inverter. In addition, a bidirectional-interleaved DC/DC converter with dual-loop controller is proposed for interfacing the ESI to a low-voltage battery pack in order to minimize the ripple of the battery current and to improve the efficiency of the DC system with lower inductor size. To validate the performance of the proposed configuration, the indirect field-oriented control (IFOC) based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed to optimize the efficiency of the AC drive system in PHEVs. The maximum efficiency of the motor is obtained by the evaluation of optimal rotor flux at any operating point, where the PSO is applied to evaluate the optimal flux. Moreover, an improved AC/DC controller based Proportional-Resonant Control (PRC) is proposed in order to reduce the THD of the input current in charger/V2G modes. The proposed configuration is analyzed and its performance is validated using simulated results obtained in MATLAB/ SIMULINK. Furthermore, it is experimentally validated with results obtained from the prototypes that have been developed and built in the laboratory based on TMS320F2808 DSP.

  • 가상 메모리 시스템(VM)에서 페이지 부재로 발생하는 디스크 I/O를 감소시키기 위해 페이지 선반입 기법을 사용한다. 이 기법은 부재 페이지와 함께 추가적인 페이지들을 한 번의 디스크 I/O로 미리 읽는다. 그런데, 4.4BSD와 같은 운영체제의 VM은 응용 프로그램의 페이지 참조 패턴을 고려하지 않고 항상 가능한 많은 페이지들을 선반입하고자 한다. 이 방법은 선반입된 페이지들 중 일부만 사용하는 참조패턴에서 디스크 참조 시간을 증가시키며, 유용한 페이지들을 메모리에서 내보내는 메모리 오염을 야기한다. 이런 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문은 적응적 페이지 선반입 제어 기법(APC)을 제안한다. APC는 선반입 페이지들 중에서 메모리에 존재하는 동안 참조된 페이지들의 비율을 프로세스 단위로 주기적으로 측정하고, 이 비율을 사용하여 4.4BSD VM이 선반입하고자 하는 페이지의 개수를 조절한다. 그래서 실행도중 페이지 참조 패턴이 바뀌더라도 적절한 수의 페이지를 선반입할 수 있다. 성능 검증을 위해 APC를 4.4BSD 기반의 FreeBSD 6.2에 구현하였으며, SOR, SMM, FFT 벤치마크를 통해 성능을 측정하였다. 성능 측정 결과 APC는 기존 BSD VM보다 벤치마크의 실행 시간을 최대 57% 단축하였다.
