BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Although some juices affect subjective sleep quality, there is a lack of information on the effect of a specific juice on objective sleep quality and heart rate variability (HRV) during sleep; thus the present study investigated whether a blended juice made from natural extracts influenced sleep quality and HRV during sleep in adults with disturbed sleep. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A randomized, crossover study was conducted on twenty-five adults (15/10, female/male) complaining of difficulty initiating or maintaining nighttime sleep (Pittsburgh sleep quality index [PSQI] ≥ 5). During feeding sessions (FS), subjects received sleep-inducing juice made of natural ingredients (250 mL/trial) twice a day for 8 weeks or non-FS (N-FS) for 8 weeks while maintaining normal activities. Sleep quality and parameters were recorded via wearable actigraph for 7 consecutive days, and PSQI scores were assessed before and after the intervention. HRV was also monitored at rest and during sleep. RESULTS: After receiving the sleep-inducing juice intervention (FS), PSQI scores were significantly decreased (P < 0.001) and correlated with a significant decline in fatigue severity scale and visual analogue scale levels (P < 0.05; both). HRV indices of vagal activity were significantly improved during FS (P < 0.05), and no significant differences in N-FS were observed. Sleep efficiency and total sleep time increased significantly (P < 0.05) and sleep latency, total counts, sleep fragmentation index, and movement index, decreased significantly (P < 0.05, all 4) during FS, with no significant differences-observed during N-FS. CONCLUSIONS: This study results demonstrated that an 8-week course of sleep-inducing juice has led to improve sleep quality, suggesting an enhanced cardiac vagal tone during sleep. Thus, it could be a well-tolerated option for adults with disturbed sleep.

This study aimed at examining the effects of percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation(PENS) applied to different parts of the streptozotocin(STZ) induced diabetic rats on the change of glucose level and spinal neuron excitability. A total of twenty-eight SD rats, divided into four groups, were used as experiment animal. Experiment group I, the normal control group, was composed of normal rats without diabetes induction. Experiment group was composed II of the rats without any treatment after experimental diabetes induction. Experiment group III was composed of the rats with 2 Hz and $200\;{\mu}s$ of PENS to the acupuncture points related with diabetes for 20 minutes after diabetes induction. Experiment group IV was composed of the rats with 2 Hz and $200\;{\mu}s$ of PENS to the parts unrelated with diabetes for 20 minutes after diabetes induction. The results can be summarized as follow: As for glucose level, the group I showed no change within normal range, and the group III showed significant increase, compared with other groups (p<0.05). As for the change of H latency, M and H amplitude, the group III showed significant differences in decrease of latency and amplitude (p<0.05). As for Hmax/Mmax ratio, the normal and other groups showed no significant differences in decrease of amplitude. It can be concluded from the above results that PENS to the acupuncture points of the STZ-induced diabetic rats was effective for spinal neurone excitability, in particular, for those of the group with PENS to the acupuncture points. This study was conducted in the period of acute diabetes induction, and therefore, further study should be conducted in the period of chronic diabetes to research both acute and chronic diabetes.

The 6G mobile communication system will become a backbone infrastructure around 2030 for the future digital world by providing distinctive services such as five-sense holograms, ultra-high reliability/low-latency, ultra-high-precision positioning, ultra-massive connectivity, and gigabit-per-second data rate for aerial and maritime terminals. The recent remarkable advances in machine learning (ML) technology have recognized its efficiency in wireless networking fields such as resource management and cell-configuration optimization. Further innovation in ML is expected to play an important role in solving new problems arising from 6G network management and service delivery. In contrast, an approach to apply ML to a physical-layer (PHY) target tackles the basic problems in radio links, such as overcoming signal distortion and interference. This paper reviews the methodologies of ML-based PHY, relevant industrial trends, and candiate technologies, including future research directions and standardization impacts.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influnce of afferent stimuli, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and ultra sound, on the electrdiagnostic study of normal subjects. Electrodiagnostic study was performed before and after the application of afferent stimulation of the right popliteal fossa on 18 healthy female volunteers. After the transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, there is no significantly change of latencies and amplitudes of SEP, H-reflex, peroneal nerve F-wave, and sensory nerve conduction. After the ultra sound, there is no significantly change of latencies and amplitudes of SEP, H-reflex, peroneal nerve F-wave, and sensory nerve conduction. Tibial nope F-wave and motor nerve shows prolonged latency after TENS and US (p<0.01). Ultrasound may have a similar mechanism of action compared to transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation by having localized inhibitory effects of the peripheral nerve. However, further investigation is needed to assess their mechanism of action and the precise relevance of stimulation modality.

Since our physical world cannot be modeled as rigid body, deformable object models are important. For real-time simulation of elastic object, it must be guaranteed by its exact solution and low-latency computational cost. In this paper, we describe the boundary integral equation formulation of linear elastic body and related boundary element method(BEM). The deformation of elastic body can be effectively solved with 1ow run-time computational costs, using precomputed Green Function and fast low-rank updates based on Capacitance Matrix Algorithm.

모바일 기기 관련 기술의 급속한 발달에도 자원 제약적인 특성으로 인한 많은 문제들이 아직까지 해결되지 못하고 있다. 이러한 물리적인 한계성을 극복하기 위해 인터넷으로 연결된 클라우드 서버의 자원을 활용하는 컴퓨테이션 오프로딩이 고안되었고 에너지 절약 측면에서 다양한 연구들이 진행되었다. 그러나 실시간성을 만족시켜야 하는 응용에서는 에너지 보다 마감시간 내에 작업의 수행을 완료하는 것이 더 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 실시간 응용을 지원하기 위해서 클라우드의 스케줄링 지연 시간을 고려한 오프로딩 결정 기법을 제안했다. 제안 기법에서는 오프로딩의 예상 여유시간과 모바일 기기 내에서 수행했을 때의 여유 시간을 비교하여 마감시간을 더 효과적으로 만족할 수 있는 방법을 선정함으로써 실시간 작업에 대한 신뢰성을 향상 시킬 수 있다.

5.9 GHz WAVE(Wireless Access for the Vehicular Environment)는 노변-차량, 차량-차량 통신을 통하여 공공안전과 개인통신을 지원하기 위한 중단거리 무선통신 방식이다. WAVE 물리계층의 핵심기술은 시간동기오류에 민감한 OFDM 방식이며 통신링크상의 지연을 최소화하여 고속의 차량통신 환경을 제공하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 오류에 강인하고 복잡도가 낮고 지연시간이 적은 WAVE 시스템 응용을 위한 시간동기 알고리즘과 하드웨어 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 기존의 알고리즘에 비교하여 연산의 복잡도와 지연시간이 감소되며 하드웨어 구조는 파이프라인 구조와 고속 동작에 영향을 줄 수 있는 RAM이 필요하지 않다는 장점이 있다. Matlab과 FPGA를 이용한 하드웨어 구현을 통한 동기화 오차율(SER) 실험결과, 제안된 알고리즘이 고속 이동환경에 대해 강인하고 효율적이라는 확인하였다.

NUMa 구조는 원격 메모리에 대한 접근이 불가피한 구조적 특성 때문에 상호 연결망이 시스템 성능을 좌우하는 큰 변수가 된다. 기존에 대중적으로 사용되던 버스는 물리적 확장성 및 대역폭에서 대규모 시스템을 구성하는데 한계를 보인다. 이를 대체하는 고속의 지점간 링크를 사용한 이중 링구조는 버스가 가지는 확장성 및 대역폭의 한계라는 단점을 개선하였으나, 많은 노드가 연결되는 경우에는 응답 지연시간이 증가하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 스누핑 프로토콜이 적용된 이중 일 구조에서 노드개수 증가에 따른 응답지연시간 증가의 문제점을 보안하기 위해 코달 링 구조로의변화를 제안하고 이 구조에 효과적인 링크 제어기를 설계한다. 또한 확률 구동 시뮬레이터를통해 본 논문을 통해 제시한 코달 링 구조가 시스템의 성능 및 응답시간에 미치는 영향을 알아본다.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the electrodiagnostic outcomes of carpal tunnel release in patients with and without diabetes with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), and to evaluate the effect of diabetes mellitus (DM) on electrodiagnostic outcomes. Method: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 67 patients with electro-diagnostic evidence of CTS. Patients were classified into two groups according to the presence of DM. Both groups were evaluated using nerve conduction studies preoperatively and 3 weeks and 3 months postoperatively. Results: There were no statistical differences in any of the electrodiagnostic parameters between groups 3 weeks postoperatively. However, there were statistical differences in the amplitude and the latency of compound muscle action potential, and sensory nerve conduction velocity 3 months postoperatively. Conclusion: Patients with DM did not show a significantly different outcome 3 weeks after surgery but showed a worse electrodiagnostic outcome 3 months after surgery than those without DM.
