The Spitzer Public Legacy Survey of the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey (SpUDS) has been carried out with four IRAC bands and one MIPS band (24um). SpUDS surveys 1 square degree of the UDS field, that has been covered by one of the deepest near IR surveys and by various multiwavelength observations from X-ray to radio (XMM, GALEX, Subaru, SCUBA, VLA). We present a summary of the photometric data including number counts derived at 3.6-24 microns. In conjunction with extensive multiwavelengh data, we are able to show the multiwavelenght color distribution of MIR sources, and how different SED types contribute to the number counts.

Dynamic Encoding Algorithm for Searches (DEAS) which is known as a fast and reliable non-gradient optimization method, was proposed [1]. DEAS reaches local or global optimum with binary strings (or binary matrices for multi-dimensional problem) by iterating the two operations; bisectional search (BSS) and unidirectional search (UDS). BSS increases binary strings by one digit (i.e., 0 or 1), while UDS performs increment or decrement of binary strings in the BSS' result direction with no change of string length. Because the interval of UDS exponentially decreases with increment of bit string length (BSL), DEAS is difficult to escape from local optimum when DEAS falls into local optimum. Therefore, this paper proposes hopping UDS (HUDS) which performs UDS by hopping as many as BSL in the final point of UDS process. HUDS helps to escape from local optimum and enhances a probability searching global optimization. The excellent performance of HUDS will be validated through the well-known benchmark functions.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the efficacy and to estimate the complication rate of incontinence surgery according to the surgeon's specialty and whether a preoperative urodynamic study (UDS) was performed, using a nationally representative dataset. Methods: We enrolled 356,155 women over 20 years old who had undergone surgery for stress urinary incontinence between 2006 and 2015. Patients were followed for up to 3 years to analyze the reoperation and complication rates. Data were obtained from the National Health Claims Database of the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) of Korea. Multiple Cox regression analysis was conducted to examine the efficacy and safety of incontinence surgery according to the surgeon's specialty and whether a preoperative UDS was performed. Results: The hazard ratio (HR) for reoperation was significantly higher for procedures performed by nonurologists than for procedures performed by urologists (HR, 1.174; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.103-1.249). Acute urinary retention, postoperative infections, procedure-associated pain, and other complications were also more common in procedures performed by nonurologists than in those performed by urologists. When stratified by whether a preoperative UDS was performed, the HR for reoperation according to the surgeon's specialty varied by performance of a preoperative UDS. While the reoperation rate was significantly higher in procedures performed by non-urologists when a preoperative UDS was performed (HR, 1.208; 95% CI, 1.122-1.3), there was no significant difference in the HRs for reoperation according to specialty when a preoperative UDS was not performed. Conclusions: This population-based study showed that the postoperative outcomes of incontinence surgery were dependent upon the surgeon's specialty and that the reoperation rate according to the surgeon's specialty varied based on whether a preoperative UDS was performed.

Background : A study comparing unit dose drug distribution system(UDS) versus traditional drug distribution system(TDS) was conducted in Seoul National University Hospital. The objectives of this study were to identify safer drug distribution system and to measure the efficiency of both systems in utilizing nursing and pharmacist's time. Methods : The study was designed to compare the data on medication errors, nursing time and pharmacists' time before and after implementation of the UDS in the internal medicine and otorhinolaryngology care units. The data on actual medications administered to patients were obtained by a disguised observer during the study period. The data collected were then compared with the physicians' orders to determine the rate of medication errors. In addition, using ten-minute interval work-sampling method nursing and pharmacists' time were measured. Results : About 6% of medications were administered incorrectly in the TDS, in comparison to 1.6% in the UDS. The rate of medication error decreased significantly in the UDS compared with the TDS. Mean times spent on medication-related activities by nurses were 34.1% in the TDS and 28.5% in the UDS. In the internal medicine care unit, nursing time associated with medications decreased significantly after the implementation of the UDS, but the reduction in medication-related nursing time in the otorhinolaryngology care unit was not significant. Pharmacist's medication-related work activities, increased from 2% in the TDS to 20% in the UDS. Pharmacist's time spent on therapy-related activities increased significantly. Conclusion : The rate of medication errors in the UDS decreased significantly compared with the TDS. Time spent on medication-related activities decreased for nurses while it increased for pharmacists. In summary, the UDS was estimated to be safer and to utilize of pharmacists' and nursing time more efficiently than the TDS.

This paper analyzes properties of the recently developed nonlinear optimization method, Dynamic Encoding Algorithm for Searches (DEAS) [1]. DEAS locates local minima with binary strings (or binary matrices for multi-dimensional problems) by iterating the two operators; bisectional search (BSS) and unidirectional search (UDS). BSS increases binary strings by one digit (i.e., zero or one), while UDS performs increment or decrement to binary strings with no change of string length. Owing to these search routines, DEAS retains the optimization capability that combines the special features of several conventional optimization methods. In this paper, a special feature of BSS and UDS in DEAS is analyzed. In addition, a effective global search strategy is established by using information of DEAS. Effectiveness of the proposed global search strategy is validated through the well-known benchmark functions.

We introduce the idea of a forward-secure undetachable digital signature (FS-UDS) in this paper, which enables mobile agents to generate undetachable digital signatures with forward security of the original signer's signing key. The definition and security notion of an FS-UDS scheme are given. Then, the construction of a concrete FS-UDS scheme is proposed; and the proof of security for the proposed scheme is also provided. In the proposed scheme, mobile agents need not carry the signing key when they generate digital signatures on behalf of the original signer, so the signing key will not be compromised. At the same time, the encrypted function is combined with the original signer's requirement; therefore, misuse of the signing algorithm can be prevented. Furthermore, in the case where a hacker has accessed the signing key of the original signer, he/she is not able to forge a signature for any time period prior to when the key was obtained.

This study proposes a new vibration control approach for adjacent twin structures, which is termed as viscous damper asymmetric coupling system in this paper. The proposed system takes a concept that the diagonal bracing viscous dampers are asymmetrically distributed in two buildings to break the behavior symmetry of the twin buildings and then the coupling viscous damper is additionally installed at the top floor of the two buildings to couple both buildings and interactively transfer the asymmetric behavior-caused damping forces into both buildings. These asymmetric damping distributions and interacting damping forces of the connection damper efficiently suppress the overall vibration of the damper-coupled adjacent twin buildings efficiently. Genetic algorithm (GA) based multi-objective optimization technique is adopted for optimal design of the proposed system. In the numerical example of adjacent twin 10-story building structures, the conventional control approach, that is, uniform damping distribution system (UDS) is also taken into account for comparison purpose. The optimization results verify that the proposed system either can improve the control performance over the UDS with the same damping capacity, or can save the damping capacity significantly while maintaining the similar level of control performance to the UDS.

The purpose of this paper is to search for the construction of UDS(Urban Diagnosis System) which can be effectively applied to selecting or classifying the districts for carving out projects of urban planning based on urban geographic information. In order to promote projects of urban planning, it is essential that selecting or classifying the urban districts should be precisely diagnosed according to the respective blocks. Objective measuring standards are needed for this, and the UDS can be applied to analyzing these standards according to the levels. With these in mind, this paper will consider the present states of Korea and the established states of developed countries. Besides, the interest of this paper is to seek the ways of utilizing GIS most effectively in the urban planning areas and application methods. Also, it will find the ways of applying UDS extensively to selecting or classifying districts far the purpose of carrying out urban planning projects actually in the case areas.
