Conceived to acquire personal information for an electronic medical record, the clinical interview contains probing questions. The number and type of inquiries are assumed to fulfill medical protocols, and therefore are deemed essential for treatment - but the rate can and should be controlled. High rates of inquiry merely intimidate the patient and affect replies. The purpose of this paper is to mathematically formulate permissible rates of clinical interviews held during telehomecare virtual visits and designed to avoid patient anxiety. Mental stress is derived as a function of the weight of importance assigned by the patient, virtual visit duration, and the rate of questioning in the direction of greater sensitivity. Two operations are of interest: Collecting and recording information by the provider, and maintaining synchrony of questions and answers by the patient. The Lorentz transformation yields the patient’s view of the operational rates. Conservation of information momentum is postulated and applied before and after replies are recorded. It is shown that the weight of importance designated by the patient to collecting and recording personal information is driven by a singularity that depends on the rate of questioning. The findings should serve as a guideline in interviewer training programs.

With the advances of wireless information technology, many application softwares such as ERP gradually has increased. But those application softwares have some serious problems such that performance degradation and concurrency control resulting from the limited bandwidth and unreliability of wireless communication, In this paper, as a solution to take around those limitations, we propose a middleware framework for wireless communication environments.

Neural Oscillator can be applied to oscillatory systems such as the image recognition, the voice recognition, estimate of the weather fluctuation and analysis of geological fluctuation etc in nature and principally, it is used often to pattern recoglition of image information. Conventional BPL(Back-Propagation Learning) and MLNN(Multi Layer Neural Network) are not proper for oscillatory systems because these algorithm complicate Learning structure, have tedious procedures and sluggish convergence problem. However, these problems can be easily solved by using a synchrony characteristic of neural oscillator with PLL(phase-Locked Loop) function and by using a simple Hebbian learning rule. And also, Recognition velocity of Korean Character can be improved by using a Neural Oscillator's learning accelerator factor η$\_$ij/

Neural oscillator can be applied to oscillator systems such as analysis of image information, voice recognition and etc, Conventional learning algorithms(Neural Network or EBPA(Error Back Propagation Algorithm)) are not proper for oscillatory systems with the complicate input patterns because of its too much complex structure. However, these problems can be easily solved by using a synchrony characteristic of neural oscillator with PLL(phase locked loop) function and a simple Hebbian learning rule, Therefore, in this paper, it will introduce an technique for Recognition of the Korean Character using Phase Synchronization Neural Oscillator and will show the result of simulation.

This paper dealt with the position control of a flexible miniature finger driven by piezoelectric bimorph cells, cemented on both side of the finger. Bending moments generated by cells drives the finger, and end-point of the finger is controlled, so as to move in synchrony with fluctation of target and maintain a constant distance between target surface and inger's tip. The voltage applied for the cell is controlled by tip displacement error and error rate. We proposed a PD-Fuzzy controller under conception of PD control strategy. It brought and advantage which reduce number of rules than that of same type conventional fuzzy system and more correct redponse than PID control results.

When two speakers read a text together, the produced speech has been shown to reduce a high degree of variability (e.g., pause duration and placement, and speech rate). This paper provides a quantitative analysis of speech rate variation exhibited in synchronous speech by examining the global and local patterns in two dialects of Mandarin Chinese (Taiwan and Shanghai). We analyzed the speech data in terms of mean speech rate and the reference of "Just Noticeable difference (JND)" within a subject and across subjects. Our findings show that speakers show lower and less variable speech rates when they read a text synchronously than when they read alone. This global pattern is observed consistently across speakers and dialects maintaining the unique local variation patterns of speech rate for each dialect. We conclude that paired speakers lower their speech rates and decrease the variability in order to ensure the synchrony of their speech.

This paper describes the tip displacement of a flexible miniature arm controlled by the piezoelectric bimorph cells cemented on the surface of the arm. The arm is driven by the torques generated by the cells, and the endpoiht of the arm is controlled so that it moves in synchrony with the fluctuation of the target and maintains a constant distance to the surface of the traget. The voltage applied to the cells is controlled by a feedback signal composed of the tip displacement and the velocity. A theoretical solution is obtained by considering the cell-arm system as a stepped beam and applying time-discrete method to the governing equations of the system. The results are good agreement for a wide range of physical paramehers involved.

Hydroxyurea (HU), a DNA synthesis inhibitor, was tested as synchronizing agent in root-tip meristem of Allium wakegi. Roots were treated with 2.5mM HU for 14 h to accumulate meristem root-tip cells at the G1/S interface. After release from HU block, the cells re-entered the cell cycle with a high degree of synchrony. Synchronized mitotic frequency of A. wakegi was 22.7%, which was about 3.9 times as high as that of the control. The highest metaphase index(23.0%) was obtained when, 6 h after release from the HU block, the roots were treated with 0.05% colchicine for 2 h. Modifying various Giemsa staining protocols defined for animals and a few plant species, G-bands were visualized at prometaphase and metaphase chromosomes of A. wakegi. The higher degree of chromosome condensation, the less differential bands could be resolved. This is the first demonstration introduced partial mitotic synchronization into G-banding in plant.

Management of mechanical ventilation is essential for patients with neuro-critical illnesses who may also have impairment of airways, lungs, respiratory muscles, and respiratory drive. However, balancing the approach to mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) with the need to prevent additional lung and brain injury, is challenging to intensivists. Lung protective ventilation strategies should be modified and applied to neuro-critically ill patients to maintain normocapnia and proper positive end expiratory pressure in the setting of neurological closed monitoring. Understanding the various parameters and graphic waveforms of the mechanical ventilator can provide information about the respiratory target, including appropriate tidal volume, airway pressure, and synchrony between patient and ventilator, especially in patients with neurological dysfunction due to irregularity of spontaneous respiration. Several types of asynchrony occur during mechanical ventilation, including trigger, flow, and termination asynchrony. This review aims to present the basic interpretation of mechanical ventilator waveforms and utilization of waveforms in various clinical situations in the neuro-ICU.
