Many control schemes have been proposed for flow-level traffic control. However, is implemented only in limited areas such as monitoring and at edge nodes. No clear solution end-to-end architecture has proposed. Scalability the lack of a business model are major problems deploying architecture. This paper introduces an transport scalable mechanism to support various QoS requests from applications.

With increasing interest in applying machine learning to develop healthcare solutions, there is a desire create interpretable deep models for survival analysis. In this paper, we extend the Neural Additive Model (NAM) by incorporating pairwise feature interaction networks and equip these with loss functions that fit both proportional non-proportional extensions of Cox model. We show within extended framework, can construct hazard models, which call TimeNAM, significantly improve performance...

노인의 회복탄력성은 노년기의 은퇴와 신체·정신·사회적 변화에 대처하는 중요한 개인적 자원 중의 하나이며, 노년기 삶의 질을 향상시키고 성공적 노화에 이르게 하는 역할을 한다. 따라서, 본 연구는 65세 이상 노인을 대상으로 회복탄력성과 관련된 변인들을 검증하기 위해 인구사회학적 요인, 신체적 건강 정신적 사회적 요인이 회복탄력성에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 연구에서는 경희대학교 2017 한국노인의 노쇠이해능력 실태조사 402명의 자료를 분석하였다. 다중회귀분석 결과, 요인에서는 연령은 낮을수록, 경제수준은 높을수록 회복탄력성이 높게 나타났으며 주관적 건강이 좋을수록 외래서비스 이용은 적을수록, 그리고 우울이 만족도가 나타났다. 마지막으로 소외감을 적게 느낄수록 연구결과를 토대로 회복탄력성 증진을 위한 생애주기별 프로그램에 대한 필요성을 비롯한 정책적 시사점과 실천적 개입에 제언을 제시하였다.
