  • The instability of rock slopes caused by heavy rainfall and soil mass sliding needs the preventable and reinforcing method. The most important factor for the stability is the shear strength available in the planar part of the failure surface, which shows that a progressive failure takes place and a reinforcing of rock slope using FRP grout is effectively available. In this study, a grouting bolting interval predictions by limit equilibrium analysis and Matlab mathematical computer codes in several cases is presented for FRP reinforced rock slope. The proposed mathematical computer code can be easily applied for seeking properly FRP grout intervals prior to design and execute a reinforcement of a rock slope in practice.

  • Purpose: Traumatic sternal fractures are rare but quite disabling injuries. Timely fixation of sternal fractures reduces pain and prevents respiratory complications. However, the fixation technique should be simple, effective, and readily available in local circumstances. Methods: From January 2014 to March 2020, seven patients with sternal fracture/dislocation underwent steel wire fixation with the new "Timala" technique. In this technique, adjacent ribs are anchored with two steel wires to form an "X" in front of the fractured segment of the sternum. Patients were followed up clinically and radiologically. Results: Six of the patients were men and one was a female. Five of them had injuries due to falls and two were injured in road traffic accidents. Their age ranged from 18 years to 76 years, with a median age of 41 years. All seven patients experienced immediate recovery from pain and showed evidence of fracture healing on postoperative chest X-rays and clinical examinations. Conclusions: Anchoring ribs to fix the sternum with steel wire is a safe, effective, easily available, and reproducible method to fix sternal fractures or dislocations.

  • This paper presents the definition of a business process and a taxonomy of anomalies in BPMN. Graphical modeling is very popular nowadays and is easily understood by various specialists from different fields. Modeling is a graphical representation of processes in an organization using available rules and resources. Therefore, it is important to use a universal and comprehensive standard to describe models of processes, decisions and software. Such a standard is the BPMN notation, which is a precise notation, but unfortunately it is only a descriptive and graphical form that may contain inaccuracies. The aim of this paper is to collect and analyze available literature describing current state of knowledge about BPMN notation and to present problems and shortcomings related to this topic. The paper includes a taxonomy of problems, their definitions and examples of occurrence in real cases.

  • Next generation sequencing (NGS), a high-throughput DNA sequencing technology, is widely used for molecular biological studies. In NGS, RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq), which is a short-read massively parallel sequencing, is a major quantitative transcriptome tool for different transcriptome studies. To utilize the RNA-Seq data, various quantification and analysis methods have been developed to solve specific research goals, including identification of differentially expressed genes and detection of novel transcripts. Because of the accumulation of RNA-Seq data in the public databases, there is a demand for integrative analysis. However, the available RNA-Seq data are stored in different formats such as read count, transcripts per million, and fragments per kilobase million. This hinders the integrative analysis of the RNA-Seq data. To solve this problem, we have developed a web-based application using Shiny, COEX-seq (Convert a Variety of Measurements of Gene Expression in RNA-Seq) that easily converts data in a variety of measurement formats of gene expression used in most bioinformatic tools for RNA-Seq. It provides a workflow that includes loading data set, selecting measurement formats of gene expression, and identifying gene names. COEX-seq is freely available for academic purposes and can be run on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux operating systems. Source code, sample data sets, and supplementary documentation are available as well.

  • In this study, the cross-sectional image has been acquired to evaluate the aggregate distribution affecting quality of lightweight aggregate concrete, and through the binarization method, the study is to calculate the aggregate area of upper and lower sections to develop the method to assess the aggregate distribution of concrete. The acquisition of cross-section image of concrete for the above was available from the cross-sectional photography of cleavage tension of a normal test specimen, and an easily accessible and convenient image analysis software was used for image analysis. As a result, through such image analyses, the proportion of aggregate distribution of upper and lower sections of the test specien could be calculated, and the proportion of aggregate area U/L value of the upper and lower regions of concrete cross-section was calculated, revealing that it could be used as the comprehensive index of aggregate distribution. Moreover, through such method, relatively easy image acquisition methods and analytic methods have been proposed, and this indicated that the development of modeling to assess aggregate distribution quantitatively is available. Based on these methods, it is expected that the extraction of fundamental data to reconsider the connectivity with processes in concrete will be available through quality assessment of quantitative concrete.

  • A multithreaded model is a hybrid one which combines locality of execution of the von Neumann model with asynchronous data availability and implicit parallelism of the dataflow model. Much researches that have been made toward the advanced performance of multithreaded models are about the cache memory which have been proved to be efficient in the von Neumann model. To use an instruction cache or operand cache, the multithreaded models must have cache memories. If cache memories are added to the multithreaded model, they may have the disadvantage of high implementation cost in the mode. To solve these problems, we did not add cache memory but applied the method of executing the caching by using available registers of the multithreaded models. The available register-based caching method is one that use the registers which are not used on the execution of threads. It may accomplish the same effect as the cache memory. The multithreaded models can compute the number of available registers to be used during the process of the register optimization, and therefore this method can be easily applied on the models. By applying this method, we can also remove the access conflict and the bottleneck of frame memories. When we applied the proposed available register-based caching method, we found that there was an improved performance of the multithreaded model. Also, when the available-register-based caching method is compared with the cache based caching method, we found that there was the almost same execution overhead.

  • In various applications of queueing systems, admission control is often employed. It is known that the threshold-type of admission control is optimal in many practical applications despite its simplicity. However, determining the optimal threshold value is hard in general, because analytical expressions for the stationary queue length distributions are not easily available in most queueing systems. In this paper, to quickly determine the optimal threshold value under threshold-type admission control, we develop a concurrent simulation technique, which can save large amount of CPU time required in simulation, compared to the standard simulation procedure.
