The purposes of this study were to describe the level of vision and hearing impairments, depression and functional capacity, among Korean institutionalized elderly and to examine the relation-ship between sensory impairments, depression, and functional capacity in these people. The final pupose was to test the cognitive function path model using sensory competencies as predictors. A convenience sample of thirty nine male and 90 female subjects with a mean age of 80.5 were the subjects of this study. The subjects were tested for cognitive function, and vision and hearing impairments. Physical function and social function were measured by observation of designated task performance by the subjects. Their level of de-pression was measured using a Geriatric Depression Scale administered through an interview. Individual subjective ratings of hearing and vision were marked by the subjects, on a ladder scale. The results of the study showed that 48.8% of the subjects had a hearing impairment, 63.5% had a vision impairement, and 36.4% had both a vision and hearing impairement. The four sensory groups (no sensory impairement, hearing impairement, vision impairement, hearing and vision impairement) were tested for differences in depression, physical function, social behavior and cognitive function. The only significant difference that was found was in cognitive function, between the no sensory impairement group and the hearing and vision impairement group(F=3.25, P<.05), Subjective ratings of hearing showed a significant correlation with cognitive function(r=.34, p<.001) and with social behavior(r=.31, p<.001). There was no correlation between subjective vision ratings and cognitive function or social behavior. However there was a significant correlation between vision and hearing(r=.49, p<.001). There was also a significant negative correlation between age and vision(r=-.21, p<.01) and between age and hear-ing(r=-.34, p<.001). There was a significant correlation between depression and physical function (r=-.32, p<.001) but there was no correlation between depression and cognitive function or social behavior. Based on the literature review and the result, this study, a path model of sensory competence-> cognitive function- >social behavior was developed and tested : Perceived vision and perceived hearing were the exogenous variahles and cognitive function and social behavior were the endogeneous variables in the model. The path analysis result demonstrated an accept-able fit (GFI=.997, AGFI=.972, X$^2$=.72 (p=.396), RMSR=.019) between the data and the model. There was a significant direct effect($\beta$=.38) of perceived hearing on cognitive function. There was a significant direct effect ($\beta$=.32) of cognitive function on social behavior. The total effect of hearing on social behavior was $\beta$=.32 including the indirect effect ($\beta$=.12) . However perceived vsion had little effect ($\beta$=-.08) on cognitive function. The result of path analysis confirms that hearing levels influence cognitive function, and both hearing and cognitive function levels influence social behavior. However, vision has little effect on cognitive function or on social behavior. For the next study, a combined model of the pre viously developed environment - >depression- > physical and social function model, and the present cognitive function model, should be tested to further refine the functional capacity model. There also a need for longitudinal study of functional capacity and sencory competence in order to better understand how declining sensory competence influences functional capacity and how it effects in-creasing dependency and nursing needs in the elderly.

This paper proposes an efficient binary arithmetic encoder hardware architecture for CABAC encoding, which is an entropy coding method of HEVC. CABAC is an entropy coding method that is used in HEVC standard. Entropy coding removes statistical redundancy and supports a high compression ratio of images. However, the binary arithmetic encoder causes a delay in real time processing and parallel processing is difficult because of the high dependency between data. The operation of the proposed CABAC BAE hardware structure is to separate the renormalization and process the conventional iterative algorithm in parallel. The new scheme was designed as a four-stage pipeline structure that can reduce critical path optimally. The proposed CABAC BAE hardware architecture was designed with Verilog HDL and implemented in 65nm technology. Its gate count is 8.07K and maximum operating speed of 769MHz. It processes the four bin per clock cycle. Maximum processing speed increased by 26% from existing hardware architectures.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate relationship between delirium, risk factors on delirium, and patient prognosis based on Donabedian's structure-process-outcome model. Methods: This study utilized a path analysis design. We extracted data from the electronic medical records containing delirium screening data. Each five hundred data in a delirium and a non-delirium group were randomly selected from electronic medical records of medical and surgical intensive care patients. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20 and AMOS 24. Results: In the final model, admission via emergency department (Β=.06, p=.019), age over 65 years (Β=.11, p=.001), unconsciousness (Β=.18, p=.001), dependent activities (Β=.12, p=.001), abnormal vital signs (Β=.12, p=.001), pressure ulcer risk (Β=.12, p=.001), enteral nutrition (Β=.12, p=.001), and use of restraint (Β=.30, p=.001) directly affecting delirium accounted for 56.0% of delirium cases. Delirium had a direct effect on hospital mortality (Β=.06, p=.038), hospital length of stay (Β=5.06, p=.010), and discharge to another facility (not home) (Β=.12, p=.001), also risk factors on delirium indirectly affected patient prognosis through delirium. Conclusion: The use of interventions to reduce delirium may improve patient prognosis. To improve the dependency activities and risk of pressure ulcers that directly affect delirium, early ambulation is encouraged, and treatment and nursing interventions to remove the ventilator and drainage tube quickly must be provided to minimize the application of restraint. Further, delirium can be prevented and patient prognosis improved through continuous intervention to stimulate cognitive awareness and monitoring of the onset of delirium. This study also discussed the effects of delirium intervention on the prognosis of patients with delirium and future research in this area.

This paper proposes entropy coding method of HEVC CABAC Encoder for efficient hardware architecture. The Binary Arithmetic Encoder requires data dependency at each step, which is difficult to be operated in a fast. Proposed Binary Arithmetic Encoder is designed 4 stage pipeline to quickly process the input value bin. According to bin approach, either MPS or LPS is selected and the binary arithmetic encoding is performed. Critical path caused by repeated operation is reduced by using the LUT and designed as a shift operation which decreases hardware size and not using memory. The proposed Binary Arithmetic Encoder of CABAC is designed using Verilog-HDL and it was implemented in 65nm technology. Its gate count is 3.17k and operating speed is 1.53GHz.

시장 경제의 패러다임이 전통적인 제품 지배논리에서 서비스 지배 논리로 전환됨에 따라 서비스에 대한 체계적이고 과학적인 접근법의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 이러한 필요성에 의해 최근 주목을 받고 있는 분야가 바로 서비스 사이언스이다. 서비스 사이언스는 서비스를 포괄적인 관점에서 바라보고, 분석하고 체계적으로 연구하고자 하는 새로운 학문분야라 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 최근에 제시된 서비스 사이언스 분석 방법론을 이용하여 현재의 서비스와 기술수준, 및 서비스 혁신간의 관계를 규명해 보고자 한다. 왜냐하면 기존의 연구들은 현재의 서비스 및 기술 수준과 서비스 혁신 노력의 관계에 대해서는 지금까지 별 관심을 보이지 않아왔다. 하지만 경로 의존성 (path dependency) 및 혁신자의 딜레마 (innovator's dilemma)를 고려할 때, 현재의 서비스 및 기술 수준과 혁신의 관계는 서비스 혁신의 연구에서 상당히 중요한 의미를 가진다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 서비스 사이언스 분석방법론을 기반으로 서비스 수준의 차이에 따라 서비스 혁신 활동수준에서도 차이가 있는지, 서비스 혁신 활동 수준에 따라 서비스 활동 수준에서 차이가 발생하는지를 실증 분석해 보고자 하며, 또한 기술 수준이 서비스 활동 수준 및 서비스 혁신활동 수준과 어떠한 관련이 있는지 실증적으로 규명해 보고자 한다. 연구 결과 서비스 활동 수준에 따라 서비스 혁신 활동 수준에서 차이가 있는 것이 확인되었으며, 반대로 서비스 혁신 활동 수준에 따른 서비스 활동 수준의 차이도 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 기술수준의 차이와 서비스 활동 수준 및 서비스 혁신 활동 수준간의 차이는 존재하지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, the high-velocity impact penetration behavior of $[45/0/-45/90]_{ns}$ carbon/epoxy composite laminates was studied. The considered configuration includes a spherical steel ball impacting clamped circular laminates with various thicknesses and diameters. First, the impact experiment was performed to measure residual velocity and extent of damage. Next, the impact experiment was numerically simulated through finite element analysis using LS-dyna. Three-dimensional solid elements were used to model each ply of the laminates discretely, and progressive material failure was modeled using MAT162. The result indicated that the finite element simulation yielded residual velocities and damage modes well-matched with those obtained from the experiment. It was found that fiber damage was localized near the impactor penetration path, while matrix and delamination damage were much more spread out with the damage mode showing a dependency on the orientation angles and ply locations. The ballistic-limit velocities obtained by fitting the residual velocities increased almost linearly versus the laminate diameter, but the amount of increase was small, showing that the impact energy was absorbed mostly by the localized impact damage and that the influence of the laminate size was not significant at high-velocity impact.

Multipath ATM switch architectures have the potential to accommodate easily the design of high-speed and large capacity ATM switches which can handle a very large amount of switching throughputs. However, the multipath architecture inevitably encounters out-of-sequence problems. We propose a multipath switch model to analyze the out-of-sequence phenomenon. And we analyze the out-of-sequence performance dependency on the architecture parameters : the number of multipath, the trunk utilization, the switch size, and the number virtual channels/trunk. Indexing terms : ATM switch, Multipath archltecture, Out-of-sequence performance, Cell sequence integrity, Analytical model.

In this paper, we proposed the autonomous algorithm of pseudo-exhaustive testing for the multi-level combinational logic circuits. For the processing of shared-circuit that existed in each cone-circuit when it backtracked the path from PO to PI of CUT at the conventional verification testing, the dependent relation of PI-P0 is presented by a dependence matrix so it easily partitioned the sub-circuits for the pseudo-exhaustive testing. The test pattern of sub-circuit's C-inputs is generated using a binary counter and the test pattern of I-inputs is synthesized using a singular cover and consistency operation. Thus, according to the test patterns presented with the recipe cube, the number of test pattrens are reduced and it is possible to test concurrently each other subcircuits. The proposed algorithm treated CUT's net-list to the source file and was batch processed from the sub-circuit partitioning to the test pattern generation. It is shown that the range of reduced ration of generated pseudo-exhaustive test pattern exhibits from 85.4% to 95.8% when the average PI-dependency of ISACS bench mark circuits is 69.4%.
