The e-cigs adolescents related to various diseases, and asthma, particular, harms their quality life. Research on e-cig asthma is insufficient compared research relationship between regular cigarettes asthma. In addition, focused liquid-type, there a dearth papers other pod-type. Aim: purpose was identify association pod-type recent diagnoses adolescents. Methods: This study used 19th Korean...

ABSTRACT Objectives To provide policy‐relevant evidence to reduce oral health disparities and improve dental care accessibility by considering characteristics of urban rural areas. Background Individual regional factors influence access. Regional poverty limited resources among older adults may contribute unmet needs due cost. Materials Methods A multilevel logistic regression analysis was conducted examine the association between (regional deprivation, number dentists per 10,000 offices...

Access to dental services is essential for improving quality of life, and social capital plays a key role in facilitating that access. This study aimed identify individual- regional-level factors, including capital, predict unmet care needs among older adults. We analyzed data from 59,414 adults obtained the 2023 Korea Community Health Survey Korean Statistical Information Service, employing 2-level multilevel model. The dependent variables comprised 3 types needs: overall, due lack...

Objective To evaluate the association between environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure and depression among Korean women. Methods Between 2008 2011, we examined 731 men 1249 women (aged 39–85 years) for Genome Epidemiology Study (KoGES)-Kangwha. Among 1208 never-smoking women, excluded two taking antidepressants five who did not complete Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Therefore, performed a cross-sectional analysis on 1201 ETS was assessed using self-reported questionnaire, classified...

A number of decoding schemes have recently been proposed to perform maximum-likelihood (ML) detection for multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) systems. In this paper, employing a ldquobreadth-firstrdquo search algorithm closet points in lattice, we propose novel ML scheme called the breadth-first signal decoder (BSIDE). Through analysis and computer simulations, it is shown that BSIDE has same bit-error-rate performance as conventional decoders while allowing significantly lower computational...

This study investigated contributions of pre-service teachers' endogenous and exogenous instrumentalities, their intrinsic extrinsic motivations, use self-regulation strategies to explain the extent which they used purposefully integrate knowledge across courses (extensive integration). With a total 254 survey-responses, results hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated that instrumentality current coursework (i.e. seeing course work as instrumentally connected future careers),...

Despite a diverse literature, the association between stress and various cardiovascular conditions remains controversial. Moreover, direct stressful life events (SLEs) heart rate (HR) have not been fully investigated. This study evaluated SLEs resting HR in middle-aged Koreans. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted for 1,703 men 2,730 women aged 27–87 years from community-based Korean Genome Epidemiology Study-Kanghwa study. All participants completed baseline health examination. The...

In this paper, the detection of weak signals in additive noise described by first-order moving average (FOMA) an impulsive process is considered. Specifically, decision regions maximum likelihood (ML) and suboptimum ML (S-ML) detectors are derived FOMA model, specific examples S-ML obtained. The employed antipodal signaling system compared terms bit error rate environment. Numerical results show that detector, despite its reduced complexity simpler structure, exhibits practically same...

<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> In most previously reported studies on locally optimum detection of signals, independent observations have been assumed in various noise environments. The use an observation model may cause a considerable performance degradation applications modern high data-rate communication systems exhibiting dependence among interference components. this paper, the weak known and random signals is addressed...

In this correspondence, we address the derivation of joint distributions and correlation coefficients for seven pairs statistics used commonly in a number signal detection schemes. The upper lower bounds are obtained, relationships among derived. Explicit values evaluated some specific noise shown easy reference.

We present an ultrasonic MQL system for generating size-controlled droplets, engaging the requirement of variations in droplet size depending on used machining process and material. The proposed architecture features four series chambers with a different vibrating mesh actuator; it demonstrates that wide range material- process-specific lubrication requirements can be achieved by varying mist atomization rate diameter. vibrating-mesh outlet pore sizes were differentiated between 2 to 20 μm...
