  • Many diseases cause other diseases with strength of influences and time intervals. Prognostic and therapeutic assessments are the important part of clinical medicine as well as diagnostic assessments. In cases where a patient already has manufestations of multiple disorders (complications), progress forecasting and therapy decision by physicians without support tools are very dificult: physicians often say that "Once complications set in, the patient may die". Treating complications are difficult tasks for physicians, because they have to consider all of the complexities, possibilities and interactions between the diseases. The prediction of multiple disorders has many bundles that arise from such time-dependent interrelationships between diseases and nonlinear progress. This paper proposes a model based on time-dependent influences, which appropriately describes the progress of mulitple disorders, and gives some modificaitons for applying this model to medical domains: time-dependent influence matrix manifestation vector, therapy efficacy matrix, S-shaped curve approximation, definitions of which are provided. This research proposes an algorithm for forecasting the state of each disease on the time horizon and for evaluation of therapy alternatives with not toy example, but real patient history of multiple disorders.disorders.

  • The proposed method enhances the resolution of images by removing noise using wavelet transform to remove noise from images generated by ultrasound diagnosis. We propose an algorithm to reduce the speckle noise and enhance the edge of the ultrasound image. The proposed algorithm can enhance edges of various sizes by using wavelet transform which can use both frequency and spatial information. Experimental results show that the performance of the algorithm for noise reduction of ultrasound images is about 0.45ms for $520{\times}440$ images.

  • Purpose : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of clinical performance improved by the application of the Core-Skill TLP to students. Methods : The subject of the study were 48 students who are enrolled in the 2nd semester of the 3rd year in the department of physical therapy. In order to compare the difference in physical examination and intervention, clinical practice integration as well as interpersonal communication skills were measured before and after clinical performance experiments by using the questionnaire. Result : The results are as follows. There was an improvement after examination & intervention about mean 1.52(t=16.928, p=.000), in clinical practice integration 1.30(t=14.541, p=.000) and in interpersonal communication skills 0.86(t=9.510, p=.000). It shows the significant difference in statistics. Conclusion : According to these results, the Core-Skill TLP is proved as a good learning strategy and could be strongly recommended since it significantly improved physical examination & intervention, clinical practice integration and interpersonal communication skills.

  • $PbTiO_3$ thin films have been formed by rapid thermal annealing(RTA) of $TiO_2$/Pb/$TiO_2$ multilayer films deposited on Si wafers by RF sputtering. Based on the optimal depositon conditions of TiO2 and Pb, $TiO_2$/Pb/$TiO_2$ three layers were deposited for 900$\AA$ each. These films were subjected to RTA process at the temperatures ranging from $400^{\circ}C$ to $900^{\circ}C$ for 30 seconds in air, and were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy to investigate the phases and the microstructures. As a result, perovskite $PbTiO_3$ phases was obtained above $500^{\circ}C$ with the trace of unreacted $TiO_2$. RBS analysis revealed the anisotropic behavior of diffusion that the diffusivity of Pb to the bottom $TiO_2$ layer was faster than that of Pb to the top $TiO_2$ layer. The amorphous Pb-silicate was formed between film and Si substrate due to the diffusion of Pb, but Pb-silicate existed locally at the interface and the amount of that phase was very small. Therefore the effect of bottom $TiO_2$ layer as a diffusion barrier was confirmed. $PbTiO_3$ films formed by current technique showed a relative dielectric constant of 60, and the maximum breakdown field reached 170kV/cm.

  • Interest of augmented reality increases rapidly due to development of recent technology. Augmented reality offers learners various satisfactions by using the sense of sight, hearing, touch, etc. and enhances immersion and interest. This paper presents a drawing system for toddler's art education using augmented reality. This system helps toddlers draw pictures easily and can teach toddlers art learning effectively at low cost as well as provide immersion, achievement, and interest.

  • The purpose this study is to segments apparel market based on difference real-self image and ideal-self image. The objects of the study were to prepare for the establishment of marketing strategy and alternative plan intended to users which are needed in subdivided market, after analyzing according to what the subdivided market is divided into due to the difference real-self image and idea-self image and what difference do they show as a demographic special quality or as a general active special quality in each subdivided market. Factor analysis was performed to determine the leading difference real-self image and ideal-self image, and cluster analysis was employed to identify groups of respondents based on the delineated five image difference factors. Based on the finding, three distinct groups were formed: ideal-self image seeker group, moderators group, real-self image seeker group. And logistic regression was used to assess the relative importance that demographic characteristics play in determining the segmentation. The results of this study show statistically significant differences among the three groups in terms of demographic. Marketing and management implications for effectively targeting the segments are discussed.

  • Let R be a ring and n a fixed non-negative integer. $\cal{TI}_n$ (resp. $\cal{TF}_n$) denotes the class of all right R-modules of FGT-injective dimensions at most n (resp. all left R-modules of FGT-flat dimensions at most n). We prove that, if R is a right $\prod$-coherent ring, then every right R-module has a $\cal{TI}_n$-cover and every left R-module has a $\cal{TF}_n$-preenvelope. A right R-module M is called n-TI-injective in case $Ext^1$(N,M) = 0 for any $N\;{\in}\;\cal{TI}_n$. A left R-module F is said to be n-TI-flat if $Tor_1$(N, F) = 0 for any $N\;{\in}\;\cal{TI}_n$. Some properties of n-TI-injective and n-TI-flat modules and their relations with $\cal{TI}_n$-(pre)covers and $\cal{TF}_n$-preenvelopes are also studied.

  • Background: 5-fluoro-uracil (FU) is a common agent in postoperative chemoradiation in gastric adenocarcinoma. However, FU is not well tolerated in a significant proportion of patients. Capecitabine (CA) is an orally administered fluoropyrimidine carbamate which is preferentially converted to active 5-FU and is one of the agents used instead of FU in such cases. We compared the toxicity, local and distant control and survival rates with FU or oral CA during the course of concurrent radiotherapy to assess the role of CA used instead of FU. Materials and Methods: We conducted an analysis of survival, disease control and toxicity data in 46 patients treated with postoperative chemoradiation following total or subtotal gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma with either FU or CA between January 2008 and December 2012. Results: Median follow-up was 19 months (range: 3-59), median survival time was 23 ({\pm}6.08) months and 1-3 years overall survival (OS) rates were 64.9-39% for all patients. Compared with the CA regimen, the incidence of treatment interruption was higher with FU (p=0.023), but no significant differences were seen in local control (p=0.510), distant recurrences (p=0.721) and survival rates (p=0.866) among patients. Conclusions: Concurrent CA with radiotherapy seems to be a more tolerable and an equally effective regimen for the postoperative treatment of gastric adenocarcinoma when compared to FU.

  • When polybutadiene dissolved in toluene was a binder of carbon powder, the volatility of solvent just after electrode fabrication assured the mechanical solidity of the carbon paste electrode. This characteristic met the qualifications for practical use of carbon paste electrodes. A new enzyme electrode bound with butadiene rubber was constructed. In order to confirm whether it shows quantitative electrochemical behaviors or not, its electrochemical kinetic parameters, e.g. the symmetry factor, the exchange current density, the capacitance of double layer, the time constant, the maximum current, the Michaelis constant and other factors were investigated. These experimental facts showed that butadiene rubber is a recommendable binder for practical use of a carbon paste electrode.
