Objective: The aim of this study is to introduce an operator console design review system suitable for designing and evaluating consoles based on human factor guidelines for a digitalized main control room in an advanced nuclear power plant which has a requirement for anthropometric data usage. Background: The system interface of the main control room in a nuclear power plant has been getting digitalized and consists of various consoles with many information displays. Console operators often face human-computer interactive problems due to inappropriate console design stemming from the perceptual constraints of anthropometric data usage. Method: Computational models with a process of visual perception and variables of anthropometric data are used for designing and evaluating operator consoles suitable for human system interface guidelines, which are used in an advanced nuclear power plant. Results: From the computational model and simulation application, console dimensions and a designing test module, which would be used for designing suitable consoles with safety concerns in a nuclear power plant, have been introduced. Conclusion: This case study may influence employing a suitable design concept with various anthropometric data in many areas with safety concerns and may show a feasible solution to designing and evaluating the safety console dimensions.

Background: Cefepime is a fourth-generation cephalosporin widely used for empiric treatment of severe infections. Neurotoxicity by cefepime have been reported due to γ-aminobutyric acid A receptor inhibition or other mechanisms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors for cefepime-induced neurotoxicity between group showing cefepime-induced neurotoxicity and group without neurotoxicity. Methods: From Jan 2005 to June 2010, a total of 2,461 patients (older than 20) who used cefepime were considered in this study. We compared patients who developed cefepime-induced neurotoxicity (patient group, n=21) to patients who had no cefepime-induced neurotoxicity (control group, n=31). We analyzed demographic, underlying diseases, and metabolic parameters before cefepime treatment and during cefepime treatment between the two groups. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 18 software. Results: Of the total 2461 patients, 21 (0.85%) were diagnosed with cefepime-induced neurotoxicity. Impaired glomerular filtration rate (GFR at 15-30 ml/min) before cefepime use were significantly (P<0.05) higher risk for developing cefepime-induced neurotoxicity in patient group compared to that in the control group. Age, sex, and other metabolic parameters except GFR before and during, usage of cefepime did not show any statistical difference between the two groups. Conclusion: The present study revealed that cefepime-induced neurotoxicity was prone to develop in patients with impaired renal function before cefepime usage.

In this paper, we present a co-design methodology of dynamic optimal network-bandwidth allocation (ONBA) and adaptive control for networked control systems (NCSs) to optimize overall control performance and reduce total network-bandwidth usage. The proposed dynamic co-design strategy integrates adaptive feedback control with real-time scheduling. As part of this co-design methodology, a "closed-loop" ONBA algorithm for NCSs with communication constraints is presented. Network-bandwidth is dynamically assigned to each control loop according to the quality of performance (QoP) information of each control loop. As another part of the co-design methodology, a network quality of service (QoS)-adaptive control design approach is also presented. The idea is based on calculating new control values with reference to the network QoS parameters such as time delays and packet losses measured online. Simulation results show that this co-design approach significantly improves overall control performance and utilizes less bandwidth compared to static strategies.

Under conditions of increasing environmental uncertainty, firms' risk management become important. This study examines the impact of foreign currency derivative usage on firm value using 3,004 Korean non-financial firms from 2002 to 2007. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between foreign currency derivative usage and firm value for the whole period and from 2002 to 2004 when exchange rate was relatively less volatile. But form 2005 to 2007 when exchange rate was volatile, foreign currency derivative usage gave significant negative impact on firm value, whereas when contract value was used, the relatinship was significantly positive. These results might be come from the characteristics of contract value and fair value of foreign currency derivatives. increased firm value when contract value was used as foreign currency derivative usage measure. But when fair value was used, there was no significance. For control variables, major shareholders ownership and foreign blockholders ownership was positively related with firm value.
