The facility location in designing a supply chain network is an important decision problem that gives form, structure, and shape to the entire supply chain system. Location problems involve determining the location, number, and size of the facilities to be used. The optimization of these location decisions requires careful attention to the inherent trade-offs among service time, inventory costs, facility cost, transportation costs. This paper presents a strategy that provides the best locations of distribution centers using GIS(Geographical Information System) assuming the limitation of delivery time. To get the best strategy of the location of distribution centers, we use the new loss functions as a penalty when the delivery time is violated.

We investigated the activation of the cerebral cortex during active movement, passive movement, and functional electrical stimulation (FES), which was provided on wrist extensor muscles. A functional magnetic resonance imaging study was performed on 5 healthy volunteers. Tasks were the extension of right wrist by active movement, passive movement, and FES at the rate of .5 Hz. The regions of interest were measured in primary motor cortex (M1), primary somatosensory cortex (SI), secondary somatosensory cortex (SII), and supplementary motor area (SMA). We found that the contralateral SI and SII were significantly activated by all of three tasks. The additional activation was shown in the areas of ipsilateral S1 (n=2), and contralateral (n=1) or ipsilateral (n=2) SII, and bilateral SMA (n=3) by FES. Ipsilateral M1 (n=1), and contralateral (n=1) or ipsilateral SII (n=1), and contralateral SMA (n=1) were activated by active movement. Also, Contralateral SMA (n=3) was activated by passive movement. The number of activated pixels on SM1 by FES ( pixels) was smaller than that by active movement ( pixels) and nearly the same as that by passive movement ( pixels). Findings reveal that active movement, passive movement, and FES had a direct effect on cerebral cortex. It suggests that above modalities may have the potential to facilitate brain plasticity, if applied with the refined-specific therapeutic intervention for brain-injured patients.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the presence of ipsilesional movement deficit, with segmental performance in each proximal or distal upper extremity. The visuoperceptual complex task of the ipsilesional upper extremity was investigated in patients with unilateral brain damage and a control group of healthy sex-age-matched controls. Tracking movements were tested in the proximal and distal upper extremities. Movements were measured by the accuracy index, which was normalized to each subject's own range of motion and took into account any differences between subjects in the excursion of the tracking target. The findings revealed that stroke patients experienced difficulties with tracking movement of both proximal and distal segments in the upper extremities on the so-called "non-affected side", irrespectively of the extent of patient's age, time since onset, or severity of contralateral upper extremity. Therefore, the unilateral brain damage affected ipsilateral motor function of the proximal and distal upper limbs in the performance of complex motor tasks, requiring central processing and the higher order cognitive function in the integrity of both hemispheres.

졸겔법에 의해 Si(OC2H5/)4-(CH3O)3B-C2H5OH-H2O계로부터 다공성의 SiO2-B2O3 막을 제조하였다. SiO2-B2O3막의 특성을 BET, IR spectrophotometer, X-ray diffractometer, SEM 과 TEM을 사용하여 조사하였다. 700{℃에서 얻어진 SiO2-B2O3 막의 평균 기공직경은 0.0048 mu{m}이고, 표면적은 354.398 m2/g이었으며, 입자의 크기는 7 nm인 무정형의 다공체이었다. SiO2-B2O3 막의 수소/질소 혼합 기체 분리 특성은 기체분리 압력을 달리하여 조사하였다. 25{℃, ΔP 155.15cmHg에서 수소/질소 혼합 기체를 분리하여 본 결과 SiO2-B2O3 막의 수소에 대한 real separation factor(α)는 4.68이었다. 그리고 투과셀의 압력차(ΔP)값이 증가할수록 real separation factor(α), head separation factor(β), tail separation factor((equation omitted))값이 증가하였다.
