Background Patients having unilateral breast reconstruction often require a second stage procedure on the contralateral breast to improve symmetry. In order to provide immediate symmetry and minimize the frequency and extent of secondary procedures, we began performing simultaneous contralateral balancing operations at the time of initial reconstruction. This study examines the indications, safety, and efficacy of this approach. Methods One-hundred and two consecutive breast reconstructions with simultaneous contralateral balancing procedures were identified. Data included patient age, body mass index (BMI), type of reconstruction and balancing procedure, specimen weight, transfusion requirement, complications and additional surgery under anesthesia. Unpaired t-tests were used to compare BMI, specimen weight and need for non-autologous transfusion. Results Average patient age was 48 years. The majority had autologous tissue-only reconstructions (94%) and the rest prosthesis-based reconstructions (6%). Balancing procedures included reduction mammoplasty (50%), mastopexy (49%), and augmentation mammoplasty (1%). Average BMI was 27 and average reduction specimen was 340 grams. Non-autologous blood transfusion rate was 9%. There was no relationship between BMI or reduction specimen weight and need for transfusion. We performed secondary surgery in 24% of the autologous group and 100% of the prosthesis group. Revision rate for symmetry was 13% in the autologous group and 17% in the prosthesis group. Conclusions Performing balancing at the time of breast reconstruction is safe and most effective in autologous reconstructions, where 87% did not require a second operation for symmetry.

게임플레이어는 게임에서 수많은 적들을 만나고 싸우게 되는데, 이 때 너무나 손쉽게 이기거나 진다면 게임의 재미는 반감될 것이다. 그 반대로 너무 어렵게 이긴다거나 지는 것도 게임을 지루하게 만드는 요인으로 작용한다. 따라서 상대방과의 전투나 경쟁에서 아슬아슬하게 승리하는 긴장감을 주기 위해서는 게임의 밸런스가 잘 맞아야 한다. 그만큼 게임 밸런싱 작업은 게임의 재미와 가장 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 요소로 작용한다. 그리고 게임 밸런스만큼 중요한 것이 있는데, 그것은 플레이어에게 적절한 난이도의 상대를 계속 만나게 하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하려는 방법으로써 게임 밸런스에 딥러닝을 적용하여 지능 캐릭터가 플레이어를 통해 학습하고 스스로 플레이어의 난이도에 따라 자신의 난이도를 조절할 수 있도록 고안하였다. 이것이 활성화되면 게임 기획자나 개발자에게는 그만큼의 비용을 절약하는 동시에 플레이어에게는 항상 흥미로운 상대를 제공할 수 있는 획기적인 방법이 될 것이다.

최근 소셜 미디어의 성장과 디지털 기기의 활용이 증가함에 따라 기하급수적으로 데이터가 급증하고 있다. 기존 디스크 기반 분산 파일 시스템은 I/O 처리 비용 및 병목 현상으로 인해 데이터 처리나 데이터 접근 성능에 한계가 발생한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 메모리에 데이터를 관리하는 캐시 기법이 활용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 분산 메모리 환경에서 부하 분산을 처리하기 위한 캐시 관리 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 노드의 메모리의 크기가 서로 상이한 환경에서 메모리 크기에 따라 데이터를 분배하고 노드의 부하가 발생할 경우 핫 데이터를 재분배한다. 또한, 캐시 항목의 재사용 가능성, 사용 빈도수, 접근 시간을 고려한 캐시 교체 기법을 제안한다. 성능 평가를 통해 제안하는 분산 캐시 기법이 기존에 캐시 관리 기법에 비해 우수함을 입증한다.

최근 네트워크 환경에 대한 공격이 급속도로 고도화 및 지능화 되고 있기에, 기존의 시그니처 기반 침입탐지 시스템은 한계점이 명확해지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 기계학습 기반의 침입 탐지 시스템에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 기계학습을 침입 탐지에 이용하기 위해서는 두 가지 문제에 직면한다. 첫 번째는 실시간 탐지를 위한 학습과 연관된 중요 특징들을 선별하는 문제이며, 두 번째는 학습에 사용되는 데이터의 불균형 문제로, 기계학습 알고리즘들은 데이터에 의존적이기에 이러한 문제는 치명적이다. 본 논문에서는 위 제시된 문제들을 해결하기 위해서 Hybrid Feature Selection과 Data Balancing을 통한 심층 신경망 기반의 네트워크 침입 탐지 모델인 HFS-DNN을 제안한다. NSL-KDD 데이터 셋을 통해 학습을 진행하였으며, 기존 분류 모델들과 성능 비교를 수행한다. 본 연구에서 제안된 Hybrid Feature Selection 알고리즘이 학습 모델의 성능을 왜곡 시키지 않는 것을 확인하였으며, 불균형을 해소한 학습 모델들간 실험에서 본 논문에서 제안한 학습 모델이 가장 좋은 성능을 보였다.

In recent years, an increasing amount of computer network research has focused on the problem of cluster system in order to achieve higher performance and lower cost. The load unbalance is the major defect that reduces performance of a cluster system that uses parallel program in a form of SPMD (Single Program Multiple Data). Also, the load unbalance is a problem of MPP (Massive Parallel Processors), and distributed system. The cluster system is a loosely-coupled distributed system, therefore, it has higher communication overhead than MPP. Dynamic load balancing can solve the load unbalance problem of cluster system and reduce its communication cost. The cluster systems considered in this paper consist of P heterogeneous nodes connected by a switch-based network. The master node can predict the average execution time of tasks for each slave node based on the information from the corresponding slave node. Then, the master node redistributes remaining tasks to each node considering the predicted execution time and the communication overhead for task migration. The proposed dynamic load balancing uses execution time prediction to optimize the task redistribution. The various performance factors such as node number, task number, and communication cost are considered to improve the performance of cluster system. From the simulation results, we verified the effectiveness of the proposed dynamic load balancing algorithm.

This paper proposes a balancing and driving control system for a Mecanum wheel ball robot which has a two axis structure and four motors. The inverted pendulum control method is adopted to maintain the balance of the ball robot while it is driving. For the balancing control, an anon-model-based controller has been designed to control the device simply without the need of a complex formula. All the gains of the controller are heuristically adjusted during the experiments. The tilt angle is measured by IMU sensors, which is used to generate the control input of the roll and pitch controller to make the tilt angle zero. For the driving control, the PID control algorithm has been adopted with angles of the wheels and the encoder data. The performance of the designed control system has been verified through the real experiments with the suggested ball robot.

Virtualization technologies are being adopted and broadly utilized in many fields and at different levels. In cloud computing, achieving load balancing across large distributed virtual machines is considered a complex optimization problem with an essential importance in cloud computing systems and data centers as the overloading or underloading of tasks on VMs may cause multiple issues in the cloud system like longer execution time, machine failure, high power consumption, etc. Therefore, load balancing mechanism is an important aspect in cloud computing that assist in overcoming different performance issues. In this research, we propose a new approach that combines the advantages of different task allocation algorithms like Round robin algorithm, and Random allocation with different threshold techniques like the VM utilization and the number of allocation counts using least connection mechanism. We performed extensive simulations and experiments that augment different scheduling policies to overcome the resource utilization problem without compromising other performance measures like makespan and execution time of the tasks. The proposed system provided better results compared to the original round robin as it takes into consideration the dynamic state of the system.

A mini turbo-pump having 44mm diameter impeller for hydraulic power control have been tested to evaluate hydraulic performance and losses. The characteristics of the losses such as mechanical, friction, balancing rib losses were investigated. The investigation revealed that the friction loss is relatively large but the balancing rib loss small. It was found that the hydraulic efficiency of the pump at design point is very low($27\%$) due to low specific speed and large friction losses. A computational fluid dynamics(CFD) method also has been utilized for performance prediction of the mini turbo-pump to compare the computed results with the test data.

We propose load balancing algorithm based on cross layer designing for MIMO OFDM system. When there are many users using data service, base station(BS) should distribute traffic. Moreover, cross layer design gives benefit managing radio resource and network bandwidth management. Proposed cross layer load balancing technique manages both BS's bandwidth allocation and MS’s power control. One BS request bandwidth to other BSes and other BSes reduce each bandwidth. And BSes reduce power of sub carriers for reserving available bandwidth of backhaul. MSes that didn't get service can be served by obtaining bandwidth from other BSes. The simulation result shows more users can be served and cell throughput was increased
