The research method of 'the grafing I-ching(周易) and oriental medicine'(醫易會通) has been handed down for more than 2000 years to interpret the theory of the medicine by using the system of the ideology and the category of I-ching(周易). Many skillful doctors form the past have developed and advanced the oriental medicine by studying the 'the grafing I-ching(周易) and oriental medicine'(醫易會通) and wrote many theories and had experiment on clinical studies. From many theories of 'the grafing I-ching(周易) and oriental medicine'(醫易會通), I believe using the ideology and the category of eight trigrams(八卦) system to study the internal organs(臟腑) has a great importance. For eight trigrams(八卦) is the nucleus or the basic of I-ching(周易) and the internal organs (臟腑) are the main system of the body. Therefore grafting eight trigrams(八卦) and the internal organs (臟腑) theory has a meaning of grafting I-ching(周易) and the main point of the oriental medicine. But the uncertainties of the theories between doctors still exists and there's no unified theories in matching eight trigrams(八卦) and the internal organs(臟腑). This tells us that the most important part of the 'the grafing I-ching(周易) and oriental medicine'(醫易會通) theory is not logically organized. Therefore the author realized the necessity of the study about grafting eight trigrams(八卦) and the intimal organs (臟腑) theory, Also in order to confirm the significance of the result of the research, first of all there needs to be a research that applies it to the meathod of the mental cultivation(精神養生法), Health preservation(養生) is the basic idea of the oriental medicine and among health preservation(養生), the meathod of the mental cultivation(精神養生法) is most important.

We investigate the channel state information (CSI) in multi-input multi-output (MIMO) cooperative networks that employ the amplify-and-forward transmission scheme. Least squares and expectation conditional maximization have been proposed in the system. However, neither of these two approaches takes advantage of channel sparsity, and they cause estimation performance loss. Unlike linear channel estimation methods, several compressed channel estimation methods are proposed in this study to exploit the sparsity of the MIMO cooperative channels based on the theory of compressed sensing. First, the channel estimation problem is formulated as a compressed sensing problem by using sparse decomposition theory. Second, the lower bound is derived for the estimation, and the MIMO relay channel is reconstructed via compressive sampling matching pursuit algorithms. Finally, based on this model, we propose a novel algorithm so called sparsity adaptive expectation maximization (SAEM) by using Kalman filter and expectation maximization algorithm so that it can exploit channel sparsity alternatively and also track the true support set of time-varying channel. Kalman filter is used to provide soft information of transmitted signals to the EM-based algorithm. Various numerical simulation results indicate that the proposed sparse channel estimation technique outperforms the previous estimation schemes.

This paper proposes an FSS(Frequency Selective Surface) design system that automatically derives design parameters minimally specified by engineers. The proposed system derives optimal design parameters through theory of electromagnetic scattering on FSS, database implemented from real data obtained from practically manufactured FSS, and GA(Genetic Algorithm) for optimizing design parameters. The system, at the first step, searches the best matching FSS within preconstructed DB with given characteristics specified by operators, and then sets initial genes from the searched FSS parameters. GA iterates the optimization process until the system finds the FSS design parameters that matches the characteristics specified by operators. The theory for the electromagnetic scattering on FSS is verified by comparing the simulation results with real data obtained by measuring system composed of horn antenna and receiver. The process for manufacturing the FSS is also included in the paper.

Design procedure of corrugated horn antenna for the mm-wave frequency range is presented, and hybrid condition in horn is calculated. In this paper, corrugate profiles of horn which satisfy both transition to balanced hybrid condition and fabrication possibility under the mm-wave short wavelength are obtained. Electromagnetic fields inside horn and corrugation are derived by the cylindrical mode theory. Propagation characteristics in the horn are calculated by the mode impedance matching method with boundary conditions, and radiation fields are obtained by the Kirchhoff-Hyugen principle to the horn aperture fields. A mm-wave corrugated horn antenna which operates on $85{\sim}115GHz$ is fabricated by electric forming method. Measurements show that VSWR is under 1.3:1 over whole band and the half power beamwidth on radiation pattern 9.2, 9.16 and 9.02 degree on 85, 100 and 110 GHz are agree well with theoretical calculation.

The interaction of incident monochromatic waves with a tensioned, flexible, circular membrane submerged horizontally below free surface is investigated in the frame of three-dimensional linear hydro-elastic theory. The velocity potential is split into two parts i.e. the diffraction potential representing the scattering of incident waves by a rigid circular disk and the radiation potential describing motion induced waves by elastic responses of flexible membrane. The fluid domain is divided into three regions, and the diffraction and radiation potentials in each region are expressed by the Fourier Bessel series. The displacement of circular membrane is expanded with a set of natural functions, which satisfy the membrane equation of motion and boundary conditions. The unknown coefficients in each region are determined by applying the continuity of pressure and normal velocity at the matching boundaries. The results show that various types of wave focusing are possible by controlling the size, submergence depth, and tension of membrane.

In this paper, a technique is presented f3r the design of a structurally simple narrow-band orthomode transducer (OMT) operating at 12/14 GHz frequency bands. The proposed OMT has such a structure that a horizontally polarized wave incident on the circular waveguide of the common port is directed to the rectangular waveguide of the straight port, while the vertically polarized wave is directed to the rectangular waveguide of the side port. Firstly methods are developed f3r designing individual parts of the OMT based on the waveguide theory and the theory of impedance matching. Secondly based on developed methods the whole OMT structure is designed using a commercial electromagnetic field analysis software. The validity of the proposed design technique is confirmed by fabricating and testing the designed OMT.

Eui Bang Shin Gam("醫方新鑑") is a classic on oriental medicines written by Shin Oh (新塢) Han Byung Lyun (韓秉璉) in 1913. It was written under the base of the writer's own experience as well as in the light of 36 other classics on oriental medicines such as Dong Eui Bo Gam ("東醫寶監"), Eui Hak Yip Mun ("醫學入門"), and Kyung Ak Jeon Seo ("景岳全書"). In an attempt to avoid difficult theories and list only the essential informations and formulas for clinical purposes, it attained its own characteristics of not only reorganizing Dong Eui Bo Gam in a pragmatic way but also explaining diseases classified in western medicines in oriental medicines' point of view as well as suggesting medicine formulas regarding such explanations. As a result, it is a complete and efficient medical classic through which one can gain knowledge in both classic oriental medicines and combination of western and oriental medicines. Its special features are making a separate chapter for cholera and Lao Zhai (勞瘵), which is also a contagious disease, and trying in the chapter to explain the diseases in words of oriental medicines; listing details of nine major epidemic and matching them with the diseases known in oriental medicines; and recording a case of enforcing sterilization and preventive injection against contagious diseases. The basic medical theory in Eui Bang Shin Gam are the yin-yang theory, the thesis of fire and water, the thesis of the exterior and the interior, Yun Qi Lun (運氣論), and four institutions of human body. In explaining the basic theories, the writer emphasized strengthening the yang of the body, under the influence of the thoughts of Zhang Ga Bin (張介賓). Since he put the importance of diagnosis first, the first chapter is about diagnosis. There are five different ways of diagnosing a patient mentioned in the book, and acupuncture, pulse, and medicines was considered crucial.

At present, various technologies are rapidly advancing, centering on the concept of virtuality. From the technology of virtual reality, which allows us to experience the senses as if they existed, to the technology of augmented reality, which provides new information or services based on reality, they are no longer strange things for ourselves because we experience them every day and night. Even though the concept of virtual is very familiar in terms of technology, it is not known how individuals accept the concept of virtuality, how they change our way of thinking, and how their behavior changes. This study aims to approach virtuality perceived by the individual from the viewpoint of individual's information processing. Virtuality is defined as the degree to which the situation facing an individual is far from actual reality. An individual can judge the degree of virtuality easily, which is considered to be a psychological distance which is an important factor in personal information processing. In this study, we have confirmed whether the argument is applied to the real world in the context of advertisement. According to the construal level theory, when an individual feels virtuality at a high level, the individual thinks that the situation they are facing is psychologically distant and accordingly has a high level construal. Therefore, it is more influenced by 'advertisement emphasizing symbolic appeal' which is matching with higher level. On the other hand, when an individual feels a low level of virtuality, the individual thinks that the situation they are facing is psychologically near and thus has a low level construal. Therefore, respondents are more sensitive to functional appeal, which is related to lower level. This study has the theoretical contribution in terms that the degree of virtuality affects the psychological distance of the individual. In addition, the results of this study have practical contribution in terms of being able to be actively used in the information delivery strategy centered on the advertisement.

Good assessment is crucial for feedback on curriculum and to motivate students to learn. This study was conducted to perform item analysis on the Medical Education Assessment Consortium clinical knowledge mock examination (MEAC CKME) (2011-2016) and to evaluate several effects to improve item quality using both classical test theory and item response theory. The estimated difficulty index (P) and discrimination index (D) were calculated according to each course, item type, A (single best answer)/R (extended matching) type, and grading of item quality. The cut-off values used to evaluate P were: >0.8 (easy); 0.6-0.8 (moderate); and <0.6 (difficult). The cut-off value for D was 0.3. The proportion of appropriate items was defined as those with P between 0.25-0.75 and D ${\geq}0.25$. Cronbach ${\alpha}$ was used to assess the reliability and was compared with those of the Korean Medical Licensing Examination (KMLE). The results showed the recent mean difficulty and decimation index was 0.62 and 0.20 for the first MEAC CKME and 0.71 and 0.19 for the second MEAC CKME, respectively. Higher grade items evaluated by a self-checklist system had better D values than lower grade items and higher grade items gradually increased. The preview and editing process by experts revealed maintained P, decreased recall items, increased appropriate items with better D values, and higher reliability. In conclusion, the MEAC CKME (2011-2016) is deemed appropriate as an assessment to evaluate students' competence and prepare year four medical students for the KMLE. In addition, the self-checklist system for writing good items was useful in improving item quality.
