Purpose : To evaluate the prevalence and pattern of perfusion defect (PD) on first-pass stress perfusion MR imaging in relation with the degree of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and late gadolinium-enhancement (LGE) in patients with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (APH). Materials and Methods: Cardiac MR imaging with first-pass stress perfusion, cine, and LGE sequence was performed in 26 patients with APH from January 2008 to December 2012. We analyzed a total of 416 segments for LV wall thickness on end-diastolic phase of cine images, and evaluated the number of hypertrophied segment and number of consecutive hypertrophied segment (NCH). We assessed the presence or absence of PD and LGE from all patients. If there was PD, we subdivided the pattern into sporadic (sporadic-PD) or ring (ring-PD). Using univariate logistic method, we obtained the independent predictor for presence of overall PD and ring-PD. Results: PD on stress perfusion MRI was observed in 20 patients (76.9%), 12 of them (60%) showed ring-PD. Maximal LV wall thickness and number of hypertrophied segment were independent predictors for overall PD (all, p < 0.05). NCH with more than 3 segments was an additional independent factor for ring-PD. However, LGE was not statistically related with PD in patients with APH. Conclusion: About three quarters of the patients with APH showed PD, most of them represented as ring-PD. LVH degree or distribution was related with pattern of PD, however, LGE was not related with PD. Therefore, the clinical significance of PD in the patients with APH seems to be different from those with non-APH, and further comparison study between the two groups should be carried out.

This paper presents a direct nonlinear multivariable self-tuning PID controller using neural network which adapts to the changing parameters of the nonlinear multivariable system with noises and time delays. The nonlinear multivariable system is divided linear part and nonlinear part. The linear controller are used the self-tuning PID controller that can combine the simple structure of a PID controllers with the characteristics of a self-tuning controller, which can adapt to changes in the environment. The linear controller parameters are obtained by the recursive least square. And the nonlinear controller parameters are achieved the through the Back-propagation neural network. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, the computer simulation results are presented to adapt the nonlinear multivariable system with noises and time delays and with changed system parameter after a constant time. The proposed PID type nonlinear multivariable self-tuning method using neural network is effective compared with the conventional direct multivariable adaptive controller using neural network.

As more people use Wi-Fi and hotspot, unauthorized APs become one of big security problems in modern society. From the beginning of 2010, researchers study about unauthorized AP continually and contributed a lot of methods of detecting unauthorized AP that use wireless resources. Many researches about unauthorized AP detection use time-delay measurement (e.g., average or standard deviation) which is caused by additional wireless connection. In the most previous researches, however, the unauthorized APs consist of laptop and pulg-in Wi-Fi adaptor, and researchers did not concern about time-delay caused by software network sharing. In this paper, we show that existing unauthorized AP detection scheme that can not efficiently classify the high performance unauthorized AP.

In this paper, we propose a new scheduling algorithm called the Adaptive Weighted Round Robin with Delay Tolerance (AWRR/DT). The proposed scheme is based on the per-class queueing mechanism in which a number of connections of similar characteristics are multiplexed into one class-queue. Traffic classes of the proposed method are classified into a single non-real-time traffic class and other real-time traffic classes. The proposed scheme determines the weights of classes according to the input traffic and delay characteristics of each class at the beginning of every cycle. Furthermore, this scheme incorporates a cell discarding method to reduce the QoS degradation that may be incurred by congestion of networks. We have evaluated the proposed scheme through discrete-event simulation. Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme can reduce the average delay of non-real-time class while maintaining the QoS of real-timeclasses. The proposed algorithm can be effectively applied to high-speed networks such as ATM networks.

In this paper, an algorithm, that provisions absolute differentiation of packet delays is proposed, simulated, and implemented with VHDL on XPC 860 CPU based test board with an objective for enhancing quality of service (QoS) in future packet networks. It features a scheme that compensates the deviation for prediction on the traffic to be arrived continuously. It predicts the traffic to be arrived at the beginning of a time slot and measures the actual arrived traffic at the end of the time slot and derives the difference between them. The deviation is utilized to the delay control operation for the next time slot to offset it. As it compensates the prediction error continuously, it shows superior adaptability to the bursty traffic as well as the exponential traffic. It is demonstrated through both simulation and the real traffic test on the board that the algorithm meets the quantitative delay bounds and shows superiority to the traffic fluctuation in comparison with the conventional non-adaptive mechanism.

The waiting delays of users are inevitable in this policy since the services are not taken immediately upon requests but upon every scheduling points. An inefficient management of such delays makes an unfair service to users and increases the possibility of higher reneging rates. This paper proposes an adaptive batch scheduling scheme which improves the average waiting time of users requests and reduces the starvation problem of users requesting less popular movies. The proposed scheme selects dynamically multiple videos in given intervals based on the service patterns which reflect the popularity distribution(Zipf-distribution) and resource utilizations. Experimental results of simulations show that the proposed scheme improves about 20-30 percentage of average waiting time and reduces significantly the starving requesters comparing with those of conventional methods such as FCFS and MQL.

Synchronizations of intra${\cdot}$intermedia for the lecture presentation in distributed multimedia environments are difficult to guarantee accurate temporal relationship between media, due to the asynchronous errors such as the delay or loss of transferred data or the transmission characteristics of each media. The jitter phenomenon occurs when the network delay has the media arrival rate abnormal because the intra-media synchronization reflects the presentation rate. And the cumulative effective of jitters on a per media stream basis results in a skew. This phenomenon cause confusion to contents recognition of learners due to network delay and can not provide effective interaction of sender and receiver in the distance education. Therefore, this paper can be solution to problems due to network delay by maintaining the requirements of temporal relationship between more than one media. And this paper enables to suggest the inter-media synchronization method that is subject to be influenced by presentation rate, and to implement lecture presentation system for distance education.

For future multimedia services, one of the most crucial issues is building an access network that can accommodate multimedia services in subscriber network. The VB5.2 interface of B-ISDN located between an access network and a service node allows dynamic allocation and release of ATM resources. The SG 13 of ITU-T is standardizing the B-BCC protocol, which is sequentially interworked with signaling protocols in the service node. To minimize a connection setup delay of the sequential interworking mode, we proposed the parallel interworking model in which the SN executes simultaneously the connection control protocol of VB5.2 interface and signaling protocol. We simulate two interworking models in terms of a connection setup delay and a completion ratio. The results of simulation show that our proposed parallel interworking model for the VB5.2 interface reduces the setup delay and has the similar completion ratio compared to the sequential interworking model. however, the connection setup delay of parallel interworking model becomes about seven tenths of that of the sequential interworking model and the improvement become larger as the arrival rate increased.

An ad hoc network is multi-hop network composed of radio links. and the transmission quality of a radio link is more unstable than that of a wired circuit. Packet loss thus occurs frequently in an ad hoc network, and the consequent connection failure results in a severe deterioration of TCP performance. TCP performance also deteriorates because of the collision of data packets and ACK packets in the radio channel. In this paper we study to improve the performance of the Mobile Ad-hoc network by using Delayed ACK algorithm with our proposed ODA(Ordering-Delayed ACK) method. The proposed ODA algorithm increases the number of the data packets orderly at the receiver side which is going to be applied for the Mobile Ad-hoc network. We accomplished a computer simulation using NS-2. From the simulation results, we find the proposed ODA algorithm obviously enlarge the channel capacity and improve the network performance at the situation of multi-hop of ad-hoc network than the existing Delayed ACK algorithm.

There are several methods for estimating the time delay between incoming signals to two sensors. Among them, the GCC-PHAT (Generalized Cross Correlation-Phase Transform) method, which estimates the relative delay from the signal whitening and the cross-correlation between the different signal inputs to the two sensors, is a traditionally well known method for achieving stable performance. In this paper, we have identified a part of GCC-PHAT that can improve the periodicity. Also, we apply the auto-correlation method that is widely used as a method to improve the periodicity. Comparing the proposed method with the GCC-PHAT method, we show that the proposed method improves the mean square error performance by 5 dB ~ 15 dB at the SNR above 0 dB for white Gaussian signal source and also show that the method improves the mean square error performance up to 15 dB at the SNR above 2 dB for the color signal source.
