Video streaming service over wireless networks is a challenging task because of the changes in the wireless channel conditions that can occur due to interference, fading, and station mobility. To provide an efficient wireless video streaming service, the rate adaptation scheme should improve wireless node performance and channel utilization. Moreover, the quality adaptation scheme should be considered at the streaming application. To meet these requirements, we propose a new cross-layer design for video streaming over wireless networks. This design includes the rate and quality adaptation schemes. The rate adaptation scheme selects the optimal transmission mode and resolves the performance anomaly problem. Based on performance improvement by the proposed rate adaptation scheme, our quality adaptation scheme improves the quality of video streaming. Through performance evaluations, we prove that our cross-layer design improves the wireless channel utilization and the quality of video streaming.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify relationships among circadian types, sleep quality, and adaptation to night shifts among nurses working on two or three day night duties. Methods: The participants were 199 ward nurses from two university hospitals in Gyeongnam province. Each nurse worked on two or three day night duties. Data were collected between September 24 and October 14, 2012 and analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, $Scheff{\grave{e}}$ test, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 14.0 program. Results: Mean scores for sleep quality and adaptation to night shifts was $4.92{\pm}1.46$ on a 10-point scale and $2.66{\pm}0.47$ on a 5-point scale respectively. There were no significant differences in sleep quality and adaptation to night shifts according to circadian types of nurses. There were significant correlation between sleep quality and adaptation to night shifts (r=.25, p<.001). Factors affecting adaptation to night shifts were preference for night shifts, and subjective health status, which together explained about 35% of the total variance. Conclusions: Nurses working on two or three day night duties had low level of sleep quality and adaptation to night shifts. It is necessary to improve preference for night shifts and subjective health status for improving adaptation to night shifts of nurse.

최근 음성 인식 시스템의 성능 향상을 위해 화자 적응(speaker adaptation)에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. HMM 기반 인식 시스템의 모델 파라미터를 수정하는 화자 적응의 경우, MAP 방법과 MLLR 방법에 대한 연구가 주류를 이루고 있다. 두 방법은 adaptation data의 양에 따라서 서로 다른 성능을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 adaptation data의 quality를 정의하고, 이를 기존 두 방법의 가중치로 이용하여 화자 적응을 수행하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법을 KAIST 통신연구실에서 구축한 한국어 도시이름 500단어 인식 시스템에 적용하여 성능을 개선하였다.

기존의 스트리밍 품질 적용 기법들은 네트워크의 혼잡상황에서 네트워크의 안정성을 향상시키는데 반해 스트리밍 서비스의 빈번한 재생품질 변화로 인해 사용자에게 제공되는 스트리밍 서비스의 체감품질을 보장하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 SVC(스케일러블 비디오 코딩) 비디오 스트리밍 서비스의 체감품질을 보장하기 위해, 네트워크 상태 변화를 고려한 스트리밍 품질 적응 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 미디어 특성을 고려한 가용대역폭 측정 기법을 이용하여 네트워크의 가용대역폭을 측정하고, 측정된 가용대역폭을 기반으로 전송되는 SVC 비디오 스트림의 품질 변화를 부드럽게 조절한다. 실험을 통해 제안하는 기법이 재생품질의 변화를 최소화하여 스트리밍 서비스의 체감품질을 보장할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The use of scalable video coding scheme has been regarded as a promising solution for guaranteeing the quality of service of the video streaming over the Internet because it is a capable coding scheme to perform quality adaptation depending on network conditions. In this paper, we use a streaming model that transmits base layer using TCP and enhancement layers using DCCP, which try to provide transmission reliability of the BL and TCP friendliness. Unlike pervious works, the proposed algorithm performs rate adaptation based on playout buffer status. The PoB status of the client is sent back periodically to the server and serves as a network congestion indicator. Experimental results show that our scheme improves streaming quality comparing with pervious scheme in the case of not only constant/dynamic background flows but also VBR-encoded video sequence.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to construct a hypothetical model based on Meleis and colleagues' Transition Theory and a literature review to explain women's menopausal transition, constructing a modified model considering previous studies and model fit and testing the effects between variables. Methods: With a correlational survey design, middle-aged Korean women aged 40 to 64 years who had experienced menopausal symptoms were recruited and filled out a self-administered study questionnaire. Measures included menopausal symptoms, resilience, social support, menopause management, menopause adaptation, and quality of life. The data were analyzed using SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 24.0. Results: The model fit indices were considered acceptable: 𝛘²/degree of freedom=2.93, standardized root mean residual=.07, comparative fit index=.90, and parsimonious normed fit index=.73. All eight direct-effect paths-from menopausal symptoms to support and adaptation, from support to adaptation and resilience, from resilience to adaptation and management, from management to quality of life, and from adaptation to quality of life-were significant. The explanatory power of the menopause transition model was 63.6%. Conclusion: Women who experience menopausal symptoms may be able to maintain and improve their quality of life if menopause management and menopause adaptation are successful through resilience and social support. Future research is needed to confirm whether strengthening facilitation as a nursing intervention strategy may promote healthy response patterns.

This quasi-experimental study was intended to test the effect of self-help group program, which is one of the way to enhance adaptation and quality of life to mastectomy patients. Data was collected from July 14, 1998 to Oct. 31, 1998 at two Medical Center in Seoul. The subjects for this study were the patients who had undergone mastectomy and were follow-up ; 14 in experimental group and 14 in control group matched with age and treatment. The instruments for this study were adaptation in Lee(1994)'s physical symptom questionnaire, Zung's Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS, 1965), and Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS, 1970), quality of life in Spranger(1996)'s and No(1988)'s Quality of Life Questionnaire. The self-help group program for mastectomy patients was developed based on literature review and pilot study by the investigator. The subjects of experimental group were participated in 6 weeks self-help group program and were received arm and shoulder exercise, informational support, and interpersonal support by group members. The control group were received no intervention, Both group answered questionnaires prior to intervention and 6 weeks later. The data analyzed by frequency, $X^2$-test, Mann-Whitney U test. Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, Pearson's Correlation Coefficient and Stepwise Multiple Regression using SPSS WIN. The results are as follows ; Hypothesis 1. "The experimental group with the self-help group program will have a higher score on adaptation state than control group." was not supported. But the post test score of anxiety and depression in experimental group were declined and the depression score was reduced relatively. Hypothesis 2. "The experimental group with the self-help group program will have a higher score on quality of life than control group." was not supported. But the posttest score of quality of life in experimental group was reduced relatively. Hypothesis 3. "The higher adaptation state of mastectomy patients, the higher quality, of life." was supported(r=,80, p<.001). Additionally, the lower physical symptom, depression and anxiety, the higher quality of life And depression, which was the main predictor of quality of life, accounted for 59.5%, depression and anxiety accounted for 65.5% of the variance in quality of life. In conclusion, when the self-help group program was intervened to mastectomy patients, it was tended to increase quality of life and to reduce depression and anxiety. So self-help group program can be considered useful nursing inter vention effect on adaptation and quality of life of mastectomy patients. With discussion, I suggest repeated further re search on self-help group with appropriate sample size and longitudinal study. Also during adjuvant therapy, it is needed to develop convenient method to be supported from peer group and family, such as computer mediated support group.

최근 높은 품질의 멀티미디어 콘텐츠를 제공하고 급증하는 트래픽을 처리하기 위해 HTTP 적응적 스트리밍이 등장하였다. HTTP 적응적 스트리밍 서비스의 QoE (Quality of Experience; 사용자 체감 품질)를 향상시키기 위해서는 평균적인 비디오 품질을 최대화해야 하며 품질 변경 주기, 품질 감소 폭, 그리고 끊김 현상을 최소화해야 한다. 최근 제안되었던 HTTP 적응적 스트리밍의 품질 조절 알고리즘들은 QoE 관련 특성을 세밀하게 고려하지 않아 높은 QoE를 제공하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 HTTP 적응적 스트리밍의 QoE 향상을 위해 SQA (Smooth Quality Adaptation) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 일정 기간 품질을 유지하고 비디오 품질의 급격한 감소를 방지함으로써 부드러운 사용자 체감 품질을 제공한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 알고리즘이 대역폭 감소 구간에서 품질 변경 폭을 감소시키고 품질 변경을 최소화하는 것을 확인하였다.
