Patient variety for 10 years, since 2001-2011 there admitted 2000 patients in their remission of chronic kidney illness. Contents of renal diseases diagnoses are as following: glomerulonephritis 52%, phylonephritis 35%, hydronephrosis 3%, obstructive renal disease 2%, chronic renal failure 7% and debatic nephropathy 1%. Sand sauna therapy is lain into heated sand baths for adults 8 to 20 mins and for child 7 to 15 mins long, and it is performed twice a day (morning and afternoon) for 2 or 3 weeks once a year. Particularly, the sanatorium offers a type of physiotherapy through the application of thermally warmed sand and a combination of healthy micro-bioclimate, purity of the natural environment, and the presence of fresh and healthy local foods to treat a wide range of medical conditions. The sand sauna treatment most likely affects the body by means of the sand’s high temperature and the presence of chemical elements those are biologically important. Its specific climate and geographical condition of sanatorium is unique by length of sunshine, wind and content, color of sand.展开更多

We proposed new algorithm of received signal with pilot and non-pilot design. Although repeater design needs our project, so in this paper we discuss about interference cancellation algorithm for 2x2 MIMO systems without pilot in LTE. First explain the general principle structure of 3GPP/LTE, next determine our new design and algorithm. Finally, we simulated our mathematic extraction of proposed new algorithm on MATLAB.展开更多

Zehner et al. mentioned that the modification of surface dipole moment made it possible to tune the work function of the system. The experiment of Ganzorig et al. showed that there was a linear relationship between the dipole moment of the binding molecule and the work function change of the system using the modified surface of indium-tin oxide (ITO) with some benzoic acid derivatives. To elucidate the relation between the dipole moment of the molecule and the work function change, we investigated the modified surface of SnO2(110) using Sn7O14 cluster model which was embedded in the fixed point charges. On the modification of the surface, benzoic acid derivatives were bound to SnO2 surface. By changing the terminal group of benzoic acid with H, Cl, F, CF3 and CCl3, the work function changed and the dipole moment of the binding molecules of the modified SnO2(110) were evaluated. The results showed that there was a linear relationship between the dipole moment of the binding molecules and the work function changed. From this relation, the average value of the dipole moments of Sn-OOC linkage at the surface was also evaluated.展开更多
