Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing desired postnatal weight loss in women after birth. Methods: With correlational survey design, 191women of the study participants completed questionnaires on their desired postnatal weight loss and related factors, and body and health concerns during their hospitalization after birth. Data were collected from February to May, 2011. Data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression. Results: The women's gestational weight gain, pre-pregnant BMI, body concerns, expected time to reach the desired weight after birth and health concerns were identified as factors influencing desired postnatal weight loss in women after birth. The model explained 68% of the variance. Conclusion: Results suggest that nurses in women's health care should consider women's gestational weight, pre-pregnant BMI and their body concerns, health concerns and expected time to reach the desired weight after birth when developing weight management program for women after birth.

The purpose of this study is to increase the use of Hwangto and examine the strength according to what it is compounded with. Hwangto-concrete containing Hwanto without cement nor organic chemical products were compared to the traditional cement concrete through some durability experiments. We expect to gain more knowledge on the potentials of Hwangto-concrete as an architectural source. 1) As Hwangto binder amount rises, the value of slump increases too. The reason is that the increase of the quantity of cement causes the increase of the amount of material and the decrease of the amount of aggregate. 2) When the mixed component into Hwangto-concrete remains at 2%, the compress strength is generally dispersed high along the per unit fission, in case the amount of which is at $400(g/m^3)$. The highest compress strength is 39MPa. It means that it can be applied to common structures and we need to conduct a basic property test to ensure the strength and fluidness. 3) Hwangto-concrete is expected to be highly used in the ocean structure and chemical industry because it has better resistance to sulfuric acid and to hydrochloric acid than the cement-concrete has. The result of this study is as follows. It is expected that Hwangto-concrete will be widely applied and further research on its durability and tests for its basic substantial characteristics based on future component added to it.

Block diagonalization (BD) has been proposed as a simple and effective technique in multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) broadcast channels. However, when channel state information (CSI) knowledge is limited at the transmitter, the performance of the BD may be degraded because inter-user interference cannot be completely eliminated. In this paper, we propose an efficient CSI quantization technique for BD precoded systems with limited feedback where users supported by a base station are selected by dynamic scheduling. First, we express the received signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) when multiple data streams are transmitted to the user, and derive a lower bound expression of the expected received SINR at each user. Then, based on this measure, each user determines its quantized CSI feedback information which maximizes the derived expected SINR, which comprises both the channel direction and the amplitude information. From simulations, we confirm that the proposed SINR-based channel quantization scheme achieves a significant sum rate gain over the conventional method in practical MU-MIMO systems.

In the past, companies should make enormous facility investment and acquire a right to do business in order to join communication markets, but now they can do business without important facilities, such as communication networks. Such a movement to ease regulations about companies which want to newly join the communication industry is expected not only to change a competition frame of the mobile communication market but also to greatly affect the entire communication industry. Through this study aiming to look into a way to calculate a reasonable wholesale price related to the government's introduction of the Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) system, I came up with a following result. I applied the operating profit percentage and the ratio of operating gain to cost to the cost plus model and retail minus model, respectively, to calculate the wholesale price and found that when I calculated with the cost plus model applying the operating profit percentage, I could get the highest wholesale price. On the other hand, I got the lowest wholesale price with the retail minus model by applying the operating profit percentage. Division of expenses and calculation of profit percentage are important factors in calculating the wholesale price and such results are expected to help accurate calculation of the MVNO wholesale price.

To gain insight on cheese consumption and develop strategies for the cheese industry, we conducted a survey of 742 women (age 25 or older) who were responsible for purchasing food for their families. Of them, 49.5% consumed cheese more than once a week and 25.1% expected that the cheese consumption of their families would increase, whereas only 7.1% expected a decrease in consumption. The most important considerations for purchasing cheese were taste and price. Of the respondents, 40.6% purchased domestic cheese, whereas 49.1% were unconcerned about the country of origin. Of them, 20.6% had experience of purchasing farm-made cheese, and 62.7% of them were satisfied with the cheese. These results suggest that cheese consumption will increase in the future, and that with attention to quality improvement and advertising, domestic farm-made cheese consumption could increase accordingly.

The placement of the complete baseband processing in a centralized pool results in high data rate requirement and inflexibility of the fronthaul network, which challenges the energy and cost effectiveness of the cloud radio access network (C-RAN). Recently, redesign of the C-RAN through functional split in the baseband processing chain has been proposed to overcome these challenges. This paper evaluates, by mathematical and simulation methods, different splits with respect to network level energy and cost efficiency having in the mind the expected quality of service. The proposed mathematical model quantifies the multiplexing gains and the trade-offs between centralization and decentralization concerning the cost of the pool, fronthaul network capacity and resource utilization. The event-based simulation captures the influence of the traffic load dynamics and traffic type variation on designing an efficient fronthaul network. Based on the obtained results, we derive a principle for fronthaul dimensioning based on the traffic profile. This principle allows for efficient radio access network with respect to multiplexing gains while achieving the expected users' quality of service.

Although asymptotic bounds of wireless network capacity have been heavily pursued, the answers to the following questions are still critical for network planning, protocol and architecture design: Given a three-dimensional (3D) network space with the number of active users randomly located in the space and using the wireless communication technology, what are the expected per-flow throughput, network capacity, and network transport capacity? In addition, how can the protocol parameters be tuned to enhance network performance? In this paper, we focus on the ultra wideband (UWB) based wireless personal area networks (WPANs) and provide answers to these questions, considering the salient features of UWB communications, i.e., low transmission/interference power level, accurate ranging capability, etc. Specifically, we demonstrate how to explore the spatial multiplexing gain of UWB networks by allowing appropriate concurrent transmissions. Given 3D space and the number of active users, we derive the expected number of concurrent transmissions, network capacity and transport capacity of the UWB network. The results reveal the main factors affecting network (transport) capacity, and how to determine the best protocol parameters, e.g., exclusive region size, in order to maximize the capacity. Extensive simulation results are given to validate the analytical results.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to analyze the reformed duty of fair presentation provisions and related caselaw of the Insurance Act 2015 to gain a clearer understanding of the differences between the Act and the preceding legislation. Design/methodology - The authors analyzed caselaw from South Korea and China that involved breaches of the duty of disclosure. Cases highlighting differences between the duties of disclosure and fair presentation were selected. Findings - Changes in the practice of marine insurance laws are expected from the application of the reformed duty of presentation provisions. In particular, the rights of the insured are expected to increase, resulting in the fairer conduct of insurance contracts. Due to the fact that the Insurance Act 2015 has only recently taken effect, the provisions of existing caselaw have not yet been applied. This has limited the authors' scope of analysis. Originality/value - This paper describes the implications of the duty of fair presentation by analyzing caselaw from South Korea and China that involves the duty of disclosure. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first paper that investigates the reformed duty of fair presentation provisions of the Insurance Act 2015 in the context of the legislation's implications for trade practices.

상수리나무 실생채종원에서 수형목 풍매차대 35 가계의 생장 및 가지특성 변이에 대한 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 채종원 임령 12년생 때의 평균 수고는 9.96 m, 평균 흉고 직경 14.50 cm, 평균 지하고 1.04 m, 평균 수관폭 6.80 m, 평균 가지각도는 $18.82^{\circ}$이었고 평균 통직성 등급은 2.58로 조사되었다. 수고생장에 있어서 075 및 052 가계가 우수하였던 반면에 0511 및 0517 가계는 불량한 것을 나타났다. 또한 흉고직경 생장에 있어서는 075 및 0413 가계가 우수하였고 0725 및 0511 가계가 불량하였다. Pearson 상관 및 Spearman 순위상관 계수는 2006년과 2008년 조사에서 가지각도를 제외한 조사된 모든 형질에 있어서 정의 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 아울러 수고 생장 및 흉고직경 생장이 우수한 가계가 통직성에서도 우수한 것으로 조사되었다. 분산분석 결과, 수고, 흉고직경, 원주재적 및 통직성에 있어 가계간 고도의 유의적인 생장 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 지하고, 수관폭 및 가지각도에 있어서도 가계간 차이가 인정되었다. 채종원 임령 10년 및 12년의 경우에 개체유전력 보다는 가계유전력이 더욱 높게 추정되었다. 특히 가계유전력이 높게 추정된 수고, 흉고직경 및 통직성은 강한 유전적 영향을 받고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과로부터 개체선발보다는 가계선발에 의하여 더욱 높은 개량효과가 추정됨을 알 수 있었다. 가계선발에 의한 각 조사형질별 개량효과 기대치를 추정한 결과 가지각도에서 개량효과가 가장 높은 것으로 추정되었으며, 그 다음으로 흉고직경, 수고 순이었다. 최종적으로 생장 및 가지특성에 대한 분산분석, 유전력, 유전변이량 등에 근거하여 생장형질별 가중치를 부여하여 가계별 육종가를 추정하였다. 이러한 육종가는 상수리나무 채종원에서 유전간벌을 적용하는데 있어 선발 기준 등 기초 자료로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.
