  • In this paper, we propose a new consolidation algorithm for point-to-multipoint ABR flow control and compare the performance of the proposed algorithms with that of an existing consolidation algorithm. We first investigate problems of the existing algorithm in consolidating backward RM cells and propose two new consolidation algorithms to resolve these problems. Also, we investigate the performance of the proposed algorithms by simulation. As results, we show that the proposed algorithms exhibit a better performance than the existing algorithm in terms of ACR, queue length, utilization, and fairness.

  • 최근에는 우리나라에서도 mammography의 중요성이 더욱 부각되고 있는데, 아마도 이전 보다 유방암 환자가 더 늘어났기 때문이 아닌가 생각된다. 미국에서는 오래전부터 mammography에 대해 체계적인 관리와 지속적인 교육이 이루어져, 오늘날에는 방사선과전문의, 방사선사, 물리학자 등의 자격기준과 유방촬영장치에 대한 기준, 그리고 patient care에 이르기까지, mammography에 대한 전반적인 기준이 마련되어 있다. 이에 반해 우리는 아직까지 이렇다할 기준이 없는 상태이나 최근에 mammography의 중요성이 논의되고, 기준 마련에 대한 노력이 이루어지고 있어 좋은 결과가 기대된다. 이러한 여러 사람들의 노력에 일조하는 마음으로 ACR(American College of Radiology)에서 권고하는 labeling과 표준화된 marking에 대하여 소개한다.

  • This paper ivestigates the performance of a relative rate (RR) switch algorithm for the rate-based available bit rate (ABR) flow control in asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks. A RR switch may notify the network congestion status to the source by suing the congestion indication (CI) bit or no increase (NI)bit in the backward RM (BRM) cells. A RR switch can be differently implemented according to the congestion detectio and notification methods. In this paper, we propose three implementation schemes for the RR switch with different congestion detection and notification methods, and analyze the allowed cell rate (ACR) of a source and the queue length of a switch in steady state. In addition, we derive the upper and lower bounds for the maximum and minimum queue lengths for each scheme respectively, and evaluate the effects of the ABR parameter values on the queue length. Furthermore, we suggest the range of the rage increase factor (RIF) and rate decrease factor (RDF) parameter values which can prevent buffer overflow and underflow at a switch.

  • The purpose of this study is to establish the databases of pollutant sources and water quality measurement data by utilizing GIS, and making the user interface for the management of pollutant sources. Yeongsan Estuarine Lake was formed of a huge levee of 4.35 km constructed by an agricultural reclamation project. Water quality of the reservoir has been degraded gradually, which mainly attributes to increase of point and non-point source pollutant loads from the lake's watershed of 33,374.3 $\textrm{km}^2$ into it. Application of GIS to establishment of the database was researched of pint source such as domestic sewage, industrial wastewater, farm wastes, and fishery wastes, and non-pont source such as residence, rice and upland field, and forest runoffs of the watershed of the lake. NT Acr/Info and ArcView were mainly utilized for the database formation. Land use of the watershed using LANDSAT image data was analyzed for non-point source pollutant load estimation. Pollutant loads from the watershed into the reservoir were calculated using the GIS database and BOD, TN, TP load units of point and non-point sources. Total BOD, TN, TP loads into it reached approximately to 141, 715, 2,094 and 4,743 kg/day respectively. The loads can be used as input parameters for water quality predicting model of it. A user-friendly interface program was developed using Dialog Designer and Avenue Script of AcrView, which can perform spatial analysis of point and non-point sources, calculate pollutant inputs from the sources, update attribute data of them, delete and add point sources, identify locations and volumes of water treatment facilities, and examine water quality data of water sampling points.

  • Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an episodic, multi-system, autoimmune disease characterized by widespread inflammation of blood vessels and connective tissues and by the presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANAs), especially antibodies to native (double-stranded) DNA (dsDNA). Its clinical manifestations are extremely variable, and its natural history is unpredictable. Untreated, SLE is often progressive and has a significant fatality rate. The most widely used criteria for the classification of SLE are those of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR), which were revised in 1982 and modified in 1997. The presence of four criteria have been diagnosed as a SLE. Rashes are common at onset and during active disease. The oral mucosa is the site of ulceration with SLE. Arthralgia and arthritis affect most children and these symptoms are short in duration and can be migratory. Lupus nephritis may be more frequent and of greater severity in children than in adults. The initial manifestation of nephritis is microscopic hematuria, followed by proteinuria. The most common neuropsychiatric symptoms are depression, psychosis(hallucination and paranoia) and headache. CNS disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Pericarditis is the most common cardiac manifestation. Libman-Sacks endocarditis is less common in children. The most frequently described pleuropulmonary manifestations are pleural effusions, pleuritis, pneunonitis and pulmonary hemorrhage. During the active phase ESR, CRP, gamma globulin, ferritin and anti-dsDNA are elevated. Antibodies to dsDNA occur in children with active nephritis. Antibodies to the extractable nuclear antigens (Sm, Ro/SS-A, La/SS-B) are strongly associated with SLE. Specific treatment should be individualized and based on the severity of the disease. Sepsis has replaced renal failure as the most common cause of death.

  • This paper compares the performance of feedback consolidation algorithms with or without a fast overload indication function which has been recently proposed in the ATM Forum for multicast ABR (Available Bit Rate) services in ATM networks. We use the performance criteria such as the ACR (Allowed Cell Rate) of a source, queue length at a switch, link utilization, fairness, and BRM (Backward Resource Management) cell overhead. Simulation results show that performance of the feedback consolidation algorithms with a fast overload indication function can be improved sign.ificantly than that of algorithms without this function in terms of ramp-down delay, particularly in initial start-up period or under a severe overload situation. The fast overload indication function can be combined with any feedback consolidation algorithm, whereas its performance is highly dependent on an underlying basic feedback consolidation algorithm.

  • A general goal of the ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) network is to support connections across various networks. ABR service using EPRCA(Enhanced Proportional Rate Control Algorithm) switch controls traffics in ATM network. EPRCA switch, traffic control method uses variation of the ACR(Allowed Cell Rate) to enhance the utilization of the link bandwidth. However, in ABR(Available Bit Rate) service, different treatments are offered according to different RTTs(Round Trip Times) of connections. To improve the above unfairness, this paper presents ABR DELAY mechanism, in which three reference parameters for cell delay are defined, and reflect on the messages of RM(Resource Management) cells. To evaluate our mechanism, we compare the fairness among TCP connections between ABR DELAY mechanism and ABR RRM mechanism. And also we execute simulations on a simple ATM network model where six TCP connections and a background traffic with different RTTs share the bandwidth of a bottleneck link. The simulation results, based on TCP goodput and efficiency, clearly show that ABR DELAY mechanism improves the fairness among TCP connections.
