Some application of the sensor networks such as crop management must control the temperature within a proper range. The energy-efficient applications and protocols for them are needed. In this paper, we propose an energy efficient application protocol which can meet these needs. We use the concept of safety zone to manage the appropriate range of properties within our algorithm. We name our proposed algorithm "MSZ". To assess the performance of the proposed algorithm the actual temperature data was collected using the sensor node. The algorithm was implemented through programming and compared with the other algorithms. Experimental results show that the MSZ algorithm has a much better performance than that of APTEEN in terms of energy efficiency as well as has the ability of determining the status of sensor nodes with the periodical transmitting. Our MSZ algorithm can be useful in applications developments for the management of crops, fermented food and etc.

Respiration motion causes movement of internal structures in the thorax and abdomen, making accurate delivery of radiation therapy to tumors in those areas a challenge. Accounting for such motion during treatment, therefore, has the potential to reduce margins drawn around the clinical target volume (CTV), resulting in a lower dose to normal tissues (e.g., lung and liver) and thus a lower risk of treatment induced complications. Among the techniques that explicitly account for intrafraction motion are breath-hold, respiration gating, and 4D or tumor-tracking techniques. Respiration gating methods periodically turn the beam on when the patient's respiration signal is in a certain part of the respiratory cycle (generally end-inhale or end-exhale). These techniques require acquisition of some form of respiration motion signal (infrared reflective markers, spirometry, strain gauge, thermistor, video tracking of chest outlines and fluoroscopic tracking of implanted markers are some of the techniques employed to date), which is assumed to be correlated with internal anatomy motion. In preliminary study for the respiratory gating radiation therapy, we performed to measurement of this respiration motion signal. In order to measure the respiratory motion signals of patient, respiration measurement system (RMS) was composed with three sensor (spirometer, thermistor, and belt transducer), 4 channel data acquisition system and mobile computer. For two patients, we performed to evaluation of respiratory cycle and shape with RMS. We observed under this system that respiratory cycle is generally periodic but asymmetric, with the majority of time spent. As expected, RMS traced patient's respiration each other well and be easily handled for application.

This study is focusing on the needs to introduce policy decision making based on identification of the definition for 'business life cycle' and 'public enterprises' for proper public enterprises management. For this purpose, the study is planning to define categorical variables for enterprise life cycle and provide basic data for public enterprises management policy. This study explored 'Korea Expressway Corporation', 'K-water', 'Korea Railroad', 'Korea Land and Housing Corporations', because of they are the public institutions recently underwent 'management normalization policy' due to rapidly increasing debt. First, there follows the analysis on priority and standard of categorical variables for quasi-market oriented SOC public enterprise life cycle by using AHP and frequency study on expert survey. Next, this study investigated and analyzed the enterprises management plan for expected 'declining period' through forecasting 'declining period' by conducting 2nd expert survey.

Time series of the relative sea levels at the selected tide-gauge stations in the North Pacific and historical aerial photographs in the Hawaiian Islands are analyzed. Long-term rising trend of sea level ranges from +1 to +5 mm/yr at most of the stations, which is primarily due to global warming and tectonic motion of the plates. The annual and interannual fluctuations of sea level result from the thermal expansion/contraction of sea-surface layer due to the annual change of the solar radiation and possibly from a coupled ocean-atmosphere phenomenon associated with an ENSO event, respectively. Sea-level changes in three different time-scales (linear trend. annual oscillation, and interannual fluctuation) and their quantitative contribution to the shoreline changes as a result of long-term cross-shore sediment transport arc hypothesized.

멀티미디어 시스템에서 수행되는 부하 중 상당 부분은 정해진 시간에 주기적으로 수행되어 연속 매체(continuous media)를 처리하는 주기 태스크들이다. 연속 매체들을 처리하는 두 주기 태스크의 수행 요청 시간(release time)간에 인공적인 위상(phase)을 줄 경우, 전체 부하의 처리 타이밍에 영향을 주게 되며, 특히, 적절한 위상을 부여할 경우 부하가 고르게 분산된다. 부하의 고른 분산은 태스크 간섭을 줄여 지터(jitter), 종료시한 초과(deadline miss), 그리고 긴 응답 시간(response time) 등의 문제를 해소시킨다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 위상 스케줄링(phased scheduling) 알고리즘 및 알고리즘을 개발하고 평가할 수 있는 실험 환경을 제안한다. 본 논문에 제시된 알고리즘은 저자들의 선행 논문 1 에서 제시한 알고리즘의 대안이다. 새로운 알고리즘은 정확하게 최적의 위상을 찾지는 않으나 기존 알고리즘보다 빠르게 수행되며 적용 범위가 넓다.Abstract A multimedia system consists of substantial amount of continuous media workload scheduled periodically at deterministic time points. Artificial phase between the invocation times of any two continuous media tasks affects the timing of the entire workload. A proper phase configuration distributes workload uniformly over time and reduces task interference that may otherwise result in jitter, deadline miss, and long response time. The objective of this paper is to work out a phased scheduling algorithm and to evaluate its effectiveness. The algorithm in this paper is an alternative approach to our previous work 1 . It is almost as accurate as the predecessor but two of three times faster in identifying the appropriate phase vector.

This paper presents the minimum-cost network selection scheme which determines the transmission instance in the multi-band maritime communication system, so that the shipment-related real-time information can be transmitted within the maximum allowed period. The transmission instances and the corresponding network selection process are modeled by a Markov Decision Process (MDP), for the channel model in the 2-state Markov chain, which can be solved by stochastic dynamic programming. It derives the minimum-cost network selection rule, which can reduce the network cost significantly as compared with the straight-forward scheme with a periodic transmission.

Wireless sensors in Internet of Things are getting closer to our daily lives. Since wireless sensors have limited battery power, energy efficient schemes should be employed. In this paper, we analyzed a system by using stochastic model and then solved an optimization problem, given that the gathered sensor data are aggregated before being transmitted to the sensor servers from a wireless sensor device. Using the developed model, we also proposed a optimal solution to determine the energy efficient sensor data transmitting interval. We also conducted performance evaluations of our proposals using numerical examples.

A bridge resistance deviation-to-period (BRD-to-P) converter is presented for interfacing resistive biosensors. It consists of a linear operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) and a current-controlled oscillator (CCO) formed by a current-tunable Schmitt trigger and an integrator. The free running period of the converter is 1.824 ms when the bridge offset resistance is $1k{\Omega}$. The conversion sensitivity of the converter amounts to $3.814ms/{\Omega}$ over the resistance deviation range of $0-1.2{\Omega}$. The linearity error of the conversion characteristic is less than ${\pm}0.004%$.
