Objectives: The purpose of this study was to review depression and anxiety associated with pain during scaling procedures, and to establish measures for reducing scaling pain encompassing not only physical factors but also psychological aspects of patients. This study also attempts to reduce anxiety through proper patient education prior to scaling procedures. Methods: In Seoul, and Gyeonggi area from July 26, 2017 to August 19, 2017, there were 327 copies of questionnaire data collected, excluding 23 questionnaires with insufficient information such as missing entries. The following inductions were made based on data collected. Results: There are positive correlations between pain and depression, dental anxiety, trait anxiety, and state anxiety. Especially, stronger correlation is present between pain and dental anxiety. Depression (${\beta}=0.439$, p<0.001) is the most influential factor associated with pain. Next is dental anxiety (${\beta}=0.292$, p<0.001). Higher the depression and dental anxiety tend to increase pain over scaling procedure. This model is with adjusted explanatory power of 28.2%. Conclusions: The result demonstrates that there is a correlation between scaling pain and depression, dental anxiety, trait anxiety, and state anxiety. Especially, depression and dental anxiety were prominent factors in affecting scaling pain. Therefore, considering aforementioned-findings, a dental hygienist's positive attitude may help in reducing the pain of the patient during scaling procedures, by affecting the psychological state of the patient and reduce the anxiety through proper education prior to scaling procedures.

본 연구에서는 이중게이트(Double Gate; DG) MOSFET에서 문턱전압과 스켈링 이론의 관계를 관찰하였다. 기존 MOSFET의 경우 채널크기에 스켈링 이론을 적용하여 전류 및 스위칭주파수를 해석하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 이중게이트 MOSFET에서 문턱전압의 경우 스켈링 이론의 적용가능성을 관찰하기 위하여 문턱전압의 변화를 스켈링 인자에 따라 관찰하고 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 이미 검증된 포아송방정식의 해석학적 전위분포를 이용하였으며 이때 가우스함수의 전하분포를 사용하였다. 분석결과 문턱전압이 스켈링 인자에 따라 크게 변화하였으며 변화정도는 도핑농도의 스켈링에 따라 변화한다는 것을 관찰하였다. 특히 이중게이트의 특성상 채널두께 및 채널길이에 스켈링 이론을 적용할 때 가중치를 이용한 변형된 스켈링 이론을 적용함으로써 이중게이트 MOSFET에 가장 타당한 스켈링 이론에 대하여 설명할 것이다.

확률강수량 산정은 하천관리, 수공구조물 설계 및 위험도 분석에 있어 중요한 기초적인 자료 중 하나이다. 실무에서는 대표지속시간에 대해서 지점빈도해석을 통해 확률강수량을 추정하고 이를 지속시간에 대해서 회귀분석을 실시하여 IDF (intensity-duration-frequency) 곡선을 작성한다. 이들 IDF곡선을 활용하여 기타 지속시간에 대해서는 내삽 또는 외삽으로 보간 하여 확률강수량 추정이 이루어지고 있다. 우리나라의 경우 상대적으로 자료 연한이 짧은 점을 고려한다면, 보다 정확하고 신뢰성 있는 확률강수량 산정 기법의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이러한 이유로 본 연구에서는 Bayesian GLM 모형을 통하여 자료의 확률분포 매개변수의 Scaling 특성을 고려할 수 있는 지역빈도해석 모형을 개발하였다. 모형 적용결과 개별지점에서 효과적인 매개변수 추정뿐만 아니라, 유역전체의 특성을 대표하는 매개변수 추정이 가능하였다. 본 연구결과를 통해 도출된 IDF 곡선은 향후 다양한 수자원분야의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 미계측유역 또는 지속시간별 자료가 불충분한 지역에 대해서도 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

This study is intended to develop a improved version of Cross Impact Analysis Model based on Scaling Theory. In developing the model, we applied the scale transformation technique and regression technique to existing CIA model. Improved CIA model is composed of two sub-models: 'model for impact value measurement,' and 'model for impact value conversion'. We applied a technique which measures data by ordinal scale and then transforms them into interval scale and ratio scale data to CIA model. The accuracy of forecasting and the usability of CIA application have been improved.

NFV realizes flexible and rapid software deployment and management of network functions in the cloud network, and provides network services in the form of chained virtual network functions (VNFs). However, using VNFs to provide quality guaranteed services is still a challenge because of the inherent difficulty in intelligently scaling VNFs to handle traffic fluctuations. Most existing works scale VNFs with fixed-capacity instances, that is they take instances of the same size and determine a suitable deployment location without considering the cloud network resource distribution. This paper proposes a traffic forecasted assisted proactive VNF scaling approach, and it adopts the instance capacity adaptive to the node resource. We first model the VNF scaling as integer quadratic programming and then propose a proactive adaptive VNF scaling (PAVS) approach. The approach employs an efficient traffic forecasting method based on LSTM to predict the upcoming traffic demands. With the obtained traffic demands, we design a resource-aware new VNF instance deployment algorithm to scale out under-provisioning VNFs and a redundant VNF instance management mechanism to scale in over-provisioning VNFs. Trace-driven simulation demonstrates that our proposed approach can respond to traffic fluctuation in advance and reduce the total cost significantly.

Advanced Pressurized Water Reactors (APWRs) and Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs) employ a suppression pool as a heat sink to prevent containment overpressure. Steam can be discharged into the pool through multi-hole spargers or blowdown pipes in both normal and accident conditions. Direct Contact Condensation (DCC) creates sources of momentum and heat. The competition between these two sources determines the development of thermal stratification or mixing of the pool. Thermal stratification is of safety concern as it reduces the cooling capability compared to a completely mixed pool condition. In this work we develop a scaling approach to prediction of the thermal stratification in a water pool induced by steam injection through spargers. Experimental data obtained from large-scale pool tests conducted in the PPOOLEX and PANDA facilities, as well as simulation results obtained using validated codes are used to develop the scaling. Two injection orientations, namely radial injection through multi-hole Sparger Head (SH) and vertical injection through Load Reduction Ring (LRR), are considered. We show that the erosion rate of the cold layer can be estimated using the Richardson number. In this work, scaling laws are proposed to estimate both the (i) transient erosion velocity and (ii) the stable position of the thermocline. These scaling laws are then implemented into a 1D model to simulate the thermal behavior of the pool during steam injection through the sparger.

Background: Recently, a piezoelectric ultrasonic scaler based on a feedback control mechanism was introduced for pain relief. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a new ultrasonic scaler in reducing pain and discomfort in adults. Methods: A newly introduced ultrasonic scaler (Master 700^®) was used as the test device and a conventional ultrasonic scaler device (PIEZON^®) was used as the control device. Forty-one healthy adults visited the dental clinic for dental scaling but did not undergo scaling or periodontal treatment within 6 months. Intraoral examinations were performed before scaling and 3 months later; before scaling, both devices were randomly assigned on the left or right side of each dentition (split-mouth model) and scaling was performed by a registered dental hygienist. The levels of pain and discomfort during scaling were evaluated subjectively and objectively using the visual analog scale (VAS) and physiological monitoring of the heart rate (HR), respectively. Time was measured for each device. Results: All clinical indicators, except bleeding on probing, significantly improved with both devices. The treatment times were 7 minutes, 13 minutes (control) and 6 minutes, 59 minutes (test). VAS scores for pain were 4.89±2.12 (control) and 4.58±2.77 (test) points out of 10; for noise, these were 4.68±2.33 (control) and 4.55±2.55 (test), and for vibration, the values were 4.26±2.0 (control) and 4.18±2.48 (test). HR averages were 72.34±3.39 (control) and 75.97±9.78 (test) beats/min. No statistically significant differences were observed between the devices. Conclusion:The pain, discomfort levels, and scaling time of the new piezoelectric ultrasonic scaler did not differ from those of the conventional device. Further research and development are necessary for more prominent pain-relief effects of scaling devices.

세계적으로 자연재해의 빈도와 규모가 증가하고 있으며, 이러한 자연재해는 토목구조물에 다양한 손상을 유발할 수 있다. 이 중 가장 심각한 손상을 유발할 수 있는 자연 재해 중 하나가 지진이다. 따라서 지진에 대하여 구조물의 안전성을 확보하기 위해 다양한 연구들이 진행되고있다. 지진시 토목구조물의 안전성이나 메커니즘에 대한 연구는 대부분 축소모형실험을 바탕으로 진행되고 있으며, 이는 토목구조물의 규모를 고려하였을 때 실구조물실험이 불가능하기 때문이다. 이러한 축소모형연구에서는 Iai가 제안한 상사법칙이 주로 인용되고 있으나, Iai가 제안한 상사법칙을 적용할 경우 축소모델 제작에 필요한 구조부재의 선정에 많은 어려움이 따르게 된다. 이는 Iai가 제안한 상사비를 적용할 경우 구조물의 재료특성인 탄성계수에 상사비를 적용하여야 하기 때문이다. 따라서 이논문에서는 실제구조물과 동일한 재료특성을 갖는 축소모형에 적용되는 상사비를 Iai의 상사법칙에 근거하여 적용하고, 유한요소해석을 통하여 축소모형과 실구조의 동특성을 비교·분석하였다. 이 논문에서 적용한 상사법칙에 근거한 축소모형실험을 통해 산정된 구조물의 특성이 실구조물의 특성을 더욱 정확히 반영할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, a new design methodology of the fuzzy controller is presented. The performance of the fuzzy controller is sensitive to the variety of scaling factors. The design procedure is based on evolutionary computing (more specifically, a genetic algorithm) and estimation algorithm to adjust and estimate scaling factors respectively. The tuning of the soiling factors of the fuzzy controller is essential to the entire optimization process. And then we estimate scaling factors of the fuzzy controller by means of two types of estimation algorithms such as HCM (Hard C-Means) and Neuro-Fuzzy model[7]. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed estimation algorithm for the fuzzy controller are demonstrated by the inverted pendulum system.
