The frequency-hopping sequence is a type of user-specific code that has been used in various ways in military communication, Bluetooth, and ultra-wideband communications. In a practical communication environment, a frequency-hopping sequence with an alphabet and a length suitable for the number of available frequencies and transmission period is required. Therefore, the design of the frequency-hopping sequence having various parameters is a very important problem in frequency-hopping spread-spectrum communication. To this end, this paper explores a method of synthesizing a sequence of a new length through the synthesis of existing frequency-hopping sequences. As a result, it is possible to present the possibility of frequency-hopping sequences applicable to various environments of communications.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a transmissible respiratory disease that was initially reported in Wuhan, China in December 2019. With the alarming levels of COVID-19 spread worldwide, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. Over the past several months, chest CT has played a vital role in early identification, disease severity assessment, and dynamic disease course monitoring of COVID-19. The published data has enriched our knowledge on the etiology, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and pathologic findings of COVID-19. Additionally, as the imaging spectrum of the disease continues to be defined, extrapulmonary infections or other complications will require further attention. This review aims to provide an updated framework and essential knowledge with which radiologists can better understand COVID-19.

Recent radiotherapy dose planning system (RTPS) generally adapted the kernel beam using the convolution method for computation of tissue dose. To get a depth and profile dose in a given depth concerened a given photon beam, the energy spectrum was reconstructed from the attenuation dose of transmission of filter through iterative numerical analysis. The experiments were performed with 15 MV X rays (Oncor, Siemens) and ionization chamber (0.125 cc, PTW) for measurements of filter transmitted dose. The energy spectrum of 15MV X-rays was determined from attenuated dose of lead filter transmission from 0.51 cm to 8.04 cm with energy interval 0.25 MeV. In the results, the peak flux revealed at 3.75 MeV and mean energy of 15 MV X rays was 4.639 MeV in this experiments. The results of transmitted dose of lead filter showed within 0.6% in average but maximum 2.5% discrepancy in a 5 cm thickness of lead filter. Since the tissue dose is highly depend on the its energy, the lateral dose are delivered from the lateral spread of energy fluence through flattening filter shape as tangent 0.075 and 0.125 which showed 4.211 MeV and 3.906 MeV. In this experiments, analyzed the energy spectrum has applied to obtain the percent depth dose of RTPS (XiO, Version 4.3.1, CMS). The generated percent depth dose from $6{\times}6cm^2$ of field to $30{\times}30cm^2$ showed very close to that of experimental measurement within 1 % discrepancy in average. The computed dose profile were within 1% discrepancy to measurement in field size $10{\times}10cm$, however, the large field sizes were obtained within 2% uncertainty. The resulting algorithm produced x-ray spectrum that match both quality and quantity with small discrepancy in this experiments.

Among 53 Acinetobacter baumannii isolates collected in 2004, nine imipenem-resistant isolates were obtained from clinical specimens taken from patients hospitalized in Busan, Korea. Nine carbapenemase-producing isolates were further investigated in order to determine the mechanisms underlying resistance. These isolates were then analyzed via antibiotic susceptibility testing, microbiological tests of carbapenemase activity, pI determination, transconjugation test, enterobacterial repetitive consensus (ERIC)-PCR, and DNA sequencing. One outbreak involved seven cases of infection by A. baumannii producing OXA-23 ${\beta}-lactamase$, and was found to have been caused by a single ERIC-PCR clone. During the study period, the other outbreak involved two cases of infection by A. baumannii producing IMP-1 ${\beta}-lactamase$. The two clones, one from each of the outbreaks, were characterized via a modified cloverleaf synergy test and an EDTA-disk synergy test. The isoelectric focusing of the crude bacterial extracts detected nitrocefin-positive bands with pI values of 6.65 (OXA-23) and 9.0 (IMP-1). The PCR amplification and characterization of the amplicons via direct sequencing showed that the clonal isolates harbored $bla_{IMP-1}$ or $bla_{oxA-23}$ determinants. The two clones were characterized by a multidrug resistance phenotype that remained unaltered throughout the outbreak. This resistance encompassed penicillins, extended-spectrum cephalosporins, carbapenems, monobactams, and aminoglycosides. These results appear to show that the imipenem resistance observed among nine Korean A. baumannii isolates could be attributed to the spread of an IMP-lor OXA-23-producing clone. Our microbiological test of carbapenemase activity is a simple method for the screening of clinical isolates producing class D carbapenemase and/or class B $metallo-{\beta}-lactamase$, in order both to determine their clinical impact and to prevent further spread.

In this paper, we investigate the cause of throughput degradation on the wireless local area network(WLAN) and the reason of interference level change attributed to the spanned frequency in the presence of electromagnetic interference. We also measured and quantified the electric field strength of interference which yields the abrupt change of the throughput. Two units of WLAN and one unit of AP(Access Point) are configured to maintain the radio link. As the sources of interference, both the co-channel and adjacent-channel interference are considered and the critical values of electric field are provided for each case. Our experimental observations show that the signal strength generated from these interference sources is at most less than 54 dBuV/m @3 m in order to coexist between WLANs and other low power radio devices without any noticeable throughput decreases. Based on our empirical results, as far as 802.11b WLAN is concerned, we believe that the current domestic limit of the signal strength for an extremely low power radio device, 30.9 dBuV/m @3 m, can be increased as much as 23.1 dB.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the ability to treat and prevent infection by multiple Gram-negative bacterial pathogens as a last choice option in the treatment of serious infections in clinical settings. The global spread of extended-spectrum 𝛽-lactamases (ESBLs) and/or carbapenemases in microorganisms are of enormous concern to health services because they are often associated with multi-drug resistance which significantly restricts the antibiotic treatment options. In this study, the antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacteria isolated from South Korean market-derived meat samples were determined by the disc diffusion method. PCR was used to detect the presence of antibiotic resistance genes and ESBL producing genes. In total, we tested 181 isolated colonies from 36 market-derived meat samples. Single PCR and DNA sequencing results revealed that genes blaVIM, blaBIC, blaKPC, and blaSIM were present in the bacteria isolated from retail meat. The bacteria in the meat were separately sequenced and based on alignment, four different bacteria were identified. These findings suggest that bacteria found in retail meats are a reservoir for the spreading of ESBL blaVIM, blaBIC, blaKPC, and blaSIM resistance genes and bacteria strains.

The purpose of this paper is to restore the academic status of Gungwi perception a little. The symbolism of Gungwi, or Year Month Day Hour, likened to Geun Myo Hwa Sil, is not just a technique of interpretation. Recognizing that it corresponds to Saju's most fundamental Mingli principle, the study was conducted to the effect that more academic research should be conducted in the future. The intrinsic idea that constitutes Saju is the yin-yang and the five elements, the letters recorded are twelve-dimensional, and the elements in charge of the space and time are Cheongan, Jeeji, and Gungwi, which are woven into four pillars. Through this consideration of Gungwi's perception, we presented the "spectrum of time" phenomenon that past time and information pass through the point of time, spread like a spectrum, and lead future time and action at the time when humans are born, that is, the energy of the universe is formatted throughout the brain and body. We discussed the change point of Eight Trigrams used by Lim Cheol Cho as a basis for explaining 'Won Hyong I Jeong' and the assumption that the time change or distortion of the two cones penetrating the present, which is assumed in parallel theory, one of the modern cosmologies, leaves an afterimage in the future universe as Gungwi's deductive basis.

A new lattice structure using decision feedback and augmented prediction for estimating and suppressing the narrowband interference is presented. The performance of the proposed interference canceller is compared to the conventional interference cancellation filter. The reference signal of the interference canceller is formed by using the chip decisions, which is correlated with the narrowband interference components of the received signal. The decision feedback technique reduce the distortion of the desired signal which is introduced by the interference canceller through the use of feedback chip decisions. And by linear prediction of the error signal, the residual interference component of can be eliminated, Using this unconteminated error signal to update the adaptive filter coefficients, the performance of the rejection can be improved. In the simulation, it is assumed that the processing gains are 7 and 15, signal to interference ratio is -10[dB], and 5% interference band. The results show that the BER performance of the proposed filter structure is improved by 1~3dB.

In a bursty user traffic mode, ALOHA random multiple access protocol achieves higher performance than any conventional fixed assignment technique. One of central problems in slotted ALOHA is synchronization. Because of the long propagation delay in satellite mobile communication, packet may be spilt over into adjacent slots and thus guard time may be included between packet intervals. In conventional ALOHA channels, simultaneous transmission by two or more users results in a collision : the unsuccessful packets have to be retransmitted according to some retransmission algorithm. However, in a radio environment, users are often at different distances from the receiver : therefore, their received signals have substantially different power levels. The packet arriving with the highest energy now has a good chance of being detected accurately. Similarly, in some spread-spectrum random access systems, the earliest arriving packet dominates later arriving packets and thus captures the channel. In this paper slotted ALOHA channel with non zero guard time and capture probability is studied. Using the Markovian model, the performance of slotted ALOHA with guard time and capture effects is derived and compared with that of the conventional ALOHA via numerical analysis.

In frequency hopping spread spectrum(FHSS) communication systems, exact frequency synchronization is required due to the random hopping of carrier frequencies between transmitter and receiver even under harsh channel conditions. For synchronization of FHSS communications, multi-frequency hopping synchronization(MFHS) method has been used in which a small set of frequencies are repeatedly sent several times for long duration. But this long duration resulted in being easily detected by the unauthorized users as well as long duration of acquisition time. In this paper, motivated by these problems, an adaptive synchronization method(ASM) is proposed. ASM is technics to reduce the synchronization time where the number of synchronization frequencies and repetition numbers is adaptively changed (increased or decreased) according to the channel conditions. The performance analysis showed that the time duration of synchronization was reduced to 0.2sec, and the influence of jamming or interference was decreased to 46% in ASM.
