We analyze theMMPP/G/1/K queue with a modified state-dependent service rate. The service time of customers upon service initiation is changed if the number of customers in the system reaches a threshold. Then, the changed service time is continued until the system becomes empty completely, and this process is repeated. We analyze this system using an embedded Markov chain and a supplementary variable method, and present the queue length distributions at a customer's departure epochs and then at an arbitrary time.

Fungus generally doesn't produce toxic or harmful substances so it has low chances to cause food poisoning. However it leads to change appearance, odor and characteristics of the contaminated foods and result in sanitary risk problems. Therefore the contamination of fungi should be prevented since they are not proper for human consumption. Green fungi with white outline raised from the air cell of cooked eggs which were collected by Gyeongi Livestock Veterinary Service in August, 2006. The results came out after the cultivation using Sabouraud's Dextrose Agar(SDA). The conidium appeared white and monospore, the shape of colony was round and oval. Conidiophore was brown and granulated and wrinkles and formed. It was confirmed as Aspergillus nidulans based on the dying using Lactophenol cotton blue, the observation of septum and vesicle from the grown spores, and rDNA sequencing.

To alleviate the cold-start problem and data sparsity in web service recommendation and meet the personalized needs of users, this paper proposes a personalized web service recommendation method based on a hybrid social network and multi-objective immune optimization. The network adds the element of the service provider, which can provide more real information and help alleviate the cold-start problem. Then, according to the proposed service recommendation framework, multi-objective immune optimization is used to fuse multiple attributes and provide personalized web services for users without adjusting any weight coefficients. Experiments were conducted on real data sets, and the results show that the proposed method has high accuracy and a low recall rate, which is helpful to improving personalized recommendation.

The purpose of this study was to determine factors influencing patient satisfaction with medical services in hospital, which is classified into environmental aspect, human services and procedural services. Based on the results of literature review, the study focused on effects of social-demographical factors on patient satisfaction. The environmental aspect of medical care services included medical equipment and facilities, hygiene, ventilation, heating and air-conditioning, waiting and resting space, ward space and parking facilities. Procedural service included registration process, bill payment, waiting time after registration, examination and prescription as well as appointment process. Human services consisted of physicians listening to stories of patients, examination duration, physicians' explanation and physicians' service. As for nurses, explanation about disease, examination procedure and results, kindness and nursing care were evaluated. Services provided by other staff members were also evaluated. Patient satisfaction, defined as individual attitude toward medical service as a whole, was measured using a questionnaire. A total of 700 in-or out-patients were surveyed in 6 hospitals with more than 300 beds in North Gyeongbuk Province. 1. The level of patient satisfaction varied with characteristics of patients. Male patients and those in their 30s had a low level of satisfaction. Dissatisfaction level was positively related to education level but negatively related to economic condition. 2. As for patient satisfaction with medical service providers and other employees in hospital, satisfaction level with physician's explanation about treatment was higher. But dissatisfaction levels with treatment duration and the lack of explanation about examination procedures were high, calling for improvement. Dissatisfaction level with nursing care was high, calling for training of nurses for better service. Given the low level of satisfaction with human services, hospital employees need to be trained to improve their service. 3. It Was found that administrative service was also a significant factor influencing patient satisfaction in addition to medical service. It is therefore important for hospitals to provide patients with prompt and convenient procedural service. 4. Environmental factors such as medical equipment and amenity facilities also affected patient satisfaction. Thus environmental condition, procedural service and human service are all important to improve medical service in hospital. In summary, procedural service was the most significant factor for patient satisfaction. The level of satisfaction in patients was also affected by human service and environmental condition. It is therefore necessary to take patient-oriented approach in providing medical service in an effort to improve patient satisfaction. The finding of a lower level of satisfaction with human service signifies the need for training of healthcare providers and other hospital employees for better services. The introduction of advanced management programs is also needed to improve procedures that patients go through in hospitals.

멀티캐스트 기법은 큰 규모의 팽 서비스에서 비용을 줄이기 위한 방법 중에 하나다. 그러나 멀티캐스트 시스템에서 한정된 서버와 네트워크의 대역폭을 고려하여 VCR 기능을 구현하는 것은 복잡한 문제들을 내포하고 있어 이에 대한 해법이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 P2Patching을 개선한 논문으로 P2P 환경에서 레벨 그룹을 구성하여 이종 대역폭을 가진 피어들 간에 협력하여 VCR 기능을 지원하는 레벨그룹 스트리밍 기법(LGST : Level Group Streaming Technique)을 제안한다. 이 기법은 서버의 수용성을 향상시키고 네트워크의 대역폭을 효율적으로 사용할 수 있다. 그리고 본 제안 기법의 평가를 위하여 P2Patching과 비교하여 스트림 전송 토플러지 성능 및 스트리밍 질을 실험하였다. 이 실험은 서비스 요청 거부율과 대역폭 감소에 따른 서비스 질에 대한 평가에서는 본 LGST가 P2Patching보다 $11{\sim}18%$ 정도의 성능 향상을 보여주었고, 결함확률에 따른 복원지연 실험과 VCR 기능 수행 주기에 따른 영향에서는 미세한 수치에서의 성능 향상을 보여 주었다.

MANET(Mobile Ad-Hoc NETwork)에서 서비스 발견 기법은 서비스를 요구하는 노드가 서비스를 제공하는 노드를 발견하고 제공하는 서비스를 전달하기 위한 핵심응용기술이다. 그러나 MANET의 특징으로 기존의 서비스 발견 기법들 이용하여 빠르게 신뢰할 수 있는 서비스를 발견하고 안정적인 서비스 전달하고 네트워크의 확장성을 지원하는 문제 해결이 아직까지 어려운 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 MANET을 구성하는 이동 노드들 중 신뢰도가 높은 서비스 제공 노드들의 서비스를 빠르게 발견하고 안정적으로 서비스를 전달할 수 있도록 서비스 제공자의 신뢰도 평가를 통한 DHT(Distributed Hash Table)를 구성으로 안정적인 서비스를 제공하는 서비스 발견 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 서비스 발견 기법은 신뢰성 있는 서비스 발견뿐만 아니라 DHT의 특징을 응용하기 때문에 MANET의 낮은 서비스 발견 메시지의 오버 헤드를 유지시켜 네트워크의 확장성을 높일 수 있다. 이러한 제안 기법을 기존의 서비스 발견 기법들과 비교하는 시뮬레이션을 통해 더 나은 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있다.

With over 15,000 Thai restaurants worldwide and 5,342 in the USA alone, Thai cuisine has been repeatedly internationally acclaimed for its taste, flavors, smell, and nutritional values. The Thai Ministry of Commerce has also established a global objective to find and award the best Thai food restaurants using Thai Select Premium (TSP), Thai Select Unique (TSU), and Thai Select brand labels. Therefore, using systematic random sampling, 620 diners were selected from certified Thai Select restaurants (TSR) in either Los Angeles, New York, Miami, or Chicago to ask for their opinions concerning factors important to each restaurant's service loyalty (SL). The four constructs, 18 observed variables, and six hypotheses were analyzed using LISREL 9.1. Results revealed a significant positive effect (88% R²) on the causal factor interrelationships on TSRs' SL. Additionally, the three factors affecting SL the most were service tangibility, taste perceptions, and brand image, with total effect values of 0.94, 0.43, and 0.31, respectively. Finally, when each US diner was asked why they chose to eat Thai food, respondents overwhelmingly indicated that taste (49.50%) and healthiness (32.90%) were most important. The study also adds to the literature by highlighting the importance of Thai cuisine contributing to healthier lifestyles.
