A routing scheme for a group of mobile users for wireless ad-hoc networks is presented. The proposed scheme mines social activity patterns from wireless traces, and exploits social user group for efficient data routing among users based on a data publish approach. Simulation results based on real-world wireless traces show that our routing scheme reduces routing cost for a large mobile user group with a factor of 1.8 compared to a baseline counterpart.

Native strain of inhibitory SERPINS (Serine protease inhibitors) is thought to be used in the facile conformational switch to play biological regulation. Many heat stable variants of $\alpha$$_1$-antitrypsin, a prototype of inhibitory serpins, increased their stability by reducing the native strain.(omitted)

The Purpopse of this study are to classify the lifestyles of urban housewives with automobiles living in Gwangju to see their relationship between lifestyle and demographic social and econo-mic variables and to see the relationship between lifestyle and prepurchase information search activity. For these purpose a survey was conducted using questionaires on 410 The data was collected from March 8 to March 20 1993 and analyzed by factor analysis cluster analysis Duncan test {{{{ chi ^2 }} }}- t e s t a nd ANOVA. The findings are classified into 7 types: enjoyable convenience type (15.6%) conservative sound and thrifty type(17.3%) rationative type (13.2%) thrifty life type (11.0%) passive-inactive type(8.3%) fashion-pursuity type(12.9%) 2) The lifestyles of he respondents showed significant difference according to their age education level employment status. length marriage consumer education and type of housing. 3) The lifestyles of the respondents showed a difference only automobile attitude While showing no significant difference by automobile size information sources of automobile priority of automobile attitude and time spent in searching information The lifestyle of respondents showed a difference by automobile price size quality secuity warranty service and maintenance cost. 4) Among the lifestyle patterns of the respondents the passive-inactive type and rationative typ were positive about all the prepurchase information activity of automobile.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of a Progressive Walking program (PW) on physical activity, exercise tolerance, recovery, and post-operative complications for patients with a lung resection. Methods: A nonequivalent control group non-synchronized design was utilized and 37 participants with a lung resection (22 for control group, 15 for experimental group) were recruited at A university hospital from December 2012 to August 2013. The PW consisted of preoperative education, goal setting, and feedback, provided to the experimental group, and usual care to the control group. Data were analyzed using the SPSS WIN 18.0. Results: A higher proportion of patients in the experimental group showed adequate levels of physical activity (p=.001), shorter period of chest tube retention (${\leq}7$ days; p=.011), and shorter stay in the hospital (${\leq}10$ days; p=.036) than patients in the control group. Patients in the experimental group reported longer 6-minute walking distance (p=.032) and lower levels of dyspnea (p=.049) than patients in the control group. The PW did not influence the occurrence of pulmonary complications. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that the PW could be a useful strategy for improving patients' post-operative health and reducing cost after lung resection.

The author discussed present problems and future prospects of psychosomatic medicine in clinical, educational, research, and social aspects. In general, psychosomatic field. particularly. consultation-liaison(C-L) psychiatry in Korea seems to remain on early developmental phase. However, positive change in the general publics' and societal view of psychiatry, specialization of medicine and development of medical technology, implementation of delivery system in medical care could contribute to development of this field. In future, clinically, liaison activity will be more activated. and this field will be developed as main subspecialty of psychiatry. In addition. C-L psychiatry will be subspecialized. and prevention and humanization of medical care could be more emphasized. In education. the main place of education for medical students and psychiatric residents will be changed from closed ward to general ward in which consultation-liaison activity can be performed. In research. consultation liaison model suitable for Koreans will be developed and studies on disease mechanism will be more promoted. In social aspects, this field could influence the general publics' view of psychiatry and change the whole areas of medicine and society toward integration. In order to achieve these goals, medical insurance system and cost relevant to C-L activity should be essentially improved.

The main purpose of this study is to derive a regression equation that predicts the individual differences in activity energy expenditure (AEE) using accelerometer during different types of activity. Two subject groups were recruited separately in time: One is a homogeneous group of 94 healthy young adults with age ranged from $20\sim35$ yrs. The other subject group has a broad spectrum of physical characteristics in terms of age and fat ratio. 226 adolescents and adults of age ranged from $12\sim57$ yrs and fat ratio from $4.1\sim39.7%$ were in the second group. The wireless 3-axis accelerometers were developed and carefully fixed at the waist belt level. Simultaneously the total calorie expenditure was measured by gas analyzer. Each subject performed walking and running at speeds of 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.5, and 8.5 km/hr. A generalized sensor-independent regression equation for AEE was derived. The regression equation was developed fur walking and running. The regression coefficients were predicted as functions of physical factors-age, gender, height, and weight with multivariable regression analysis. The generalized calorie estimation equation predicts AEE with correlation coefficient of 0.96 and the average accuracy of the accumulated calorie was $89.6{\pm}7.9%$.

This research introduces the Financial Effect Measurement (FEM) models which measures both the improvement and the innovation performance of Quality Control Circle (QCC) and activities of Six Sigma. Concepts and principle of Comprehensive Income Statement (CIS), Balanced Scorecard (BSC), Time-Driven Activity Based-Costing (TDABC) and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) are applied in order to develop the 4 FEM models presented in this paper. First of all, FEM using CIS depicts the improvement effects of production capacity and yield using relationships between demand and supply, and line balancing efficiency between bottleneck process and non-bottleneck processes. Secondly, cause-and-effect relation of Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is used to present Critical Success Factor (CSF) effects for QC Story 15 steps of QCC and DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) of Six Sigma. The next is FEM model for service management innovation activities that uses TDABC to calculate the time-driven effect for improving the indirect activities according to the cost object. Lastly, FEM model for TPM activities presents the interpretation of improvement effect model of TPM Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operating Expenditure (OPEX) maintenance using profit, cash and Economic Added Value (EVA) as metrics of enterprise values. To better understand and further investigate FEMs, recent cases on National Quality Circle Contest are used to evaluate new financial effect measurement developed in this paper.

Determining cell quantity is a common problem in cytology research and anti-tumor drug development. A simple and low-cost method was developed to determine monolayer and adherent-growth cell quantities. The cell nucleus is located in the cytoplasm, and is independent. Thus, the nucleus cannot make contact even if the cell density is heavy. This phenomenon is the foundation of accurate cell-nucleus recognition. The cell nucleus is easily recognizable in images after fluorescent staining because it is independent. A one-to-one relationship exists between the nucleus and the cell; therefore, this method can be used to determine the quantity of proliferating cells. Results indicated that the activity of the histone deacetylase inhibitor Z1 was effective after this method was used. The nude-mouse xenograft model also revealed the potent anti-tumor activity of Z1. This research presents a new anti-tumor-drug evaluation method.
