Mobile social network can be seen as a specific application of the DTN (Delay Tolerant Network), in which the information propagation can be impacted by many social behaviors of the nodes. For a specific node, its social behaviors are various. For example, the node may not be interested in the information before receiving it and may also discard the information after getting it. On the other hand, people are more willing to forward the message to his friends. These interactive behaviors between nodes can be seen as social behaviors. It is easy to see that the impact of the social behaviors is related to the social ties, which can be manifested by the structure of the social network. State of the art works often simply assumes that the social networks can be divided into some communities. At present, some works find that the structure of some social networks is scale-free. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a theoretical model to evaluate the impact of above social behaviors in the DTN-like scale-free network. Simulation shows the accuracy of the model. Numerical results show that both social behaviors and scale-free character have significant impact on information propagation. Moreover, the impact of social behaviors is related to the scale-free character of the networks.

DV-Hop 위치 인식 기법은 노드가 균일하게 배치된 등방성 토폴로지에서 제안된 알고리즘이다. 노드 간 거리는 홉 수에 비례해서 증가하는 환경에서 홉 당 평균 거리를 사용해서 노드 간 거리를 추정한다. 하지만, 노드의 배치가 균일하지 않아 노드 간 거리가 홉 수에 비례하여 증가하지 않는 환경에서는 DV-hop 기법의 위치 추정의 정확도는 상당히 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 노드의 배치가 불균일한 비등방성 네트워크에서도 위치 추정의 정확도를 높일 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 비등방성 네트워크에서는 노드 간 경로의 형태가 곡선인 경우가 많기 때문에 노드 간의 거리 추정을 위해 필요한 홉 당 평균 거리가 홉 수 별로 다르다. 이에 제안하는 알고리즘에서는 앵커노드가 홉 수 별로 홉 당 평균 거리를 구하고, 일반 노드는 이러한 정보를 각 앵커노드로부터 전달받아, 앵커노드와 떨어진 홉 수에 따라 다른 홉 당 거리를 사용해 보다 정확하게 위치를 추정하도록 한다. 또한 시뮬레이션을 통해 DV-Hop 알고리즘과의 성능 비교를 통해 제안하는 알고리즘의 우수성을 보인다.

본 연구에서는 소셜 네트워크를 생성 할 수 있는 인공적인 네트워크 발생 모델을 제안 하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 발생 모델은 온라인 소셜 네트워크의 특징인 Small-World 성질과 Scale-Free 성질을 단순하게 표현하는 것에서 벗어나 모델의 두 파라메터를 적절히 조절함으로서 사용자가 원하는 다양한 위상 특성치 값들을 나타내 줄 수 있도록 하였다. 이를 위해 Preferential Attachment의 세기를 조정 할 수 있도록 파라메터 K와 군집화 계수를 적절하게 조정 할 수 있도록 파라메터 P를 도입하였다. K가 0에서 10 그리고 P가 0.3에서 0.5 사이의 조합이나 K = 0과 P = 0.9를 이용하면 소셜 네트워크의 위상적 성질을 보유하는 인공적인 네트워크를 생성할 수 있다. 이 조합 하에서는 Small-World 성질과 Scale-Free 성질이 잘 나타난다. 노드차수 분포는 Power-Law를 따른다. 또한 군집화 계수 0.130 ~ 0.238, 평균 최단거리 5.641 ~ 5.985로 나타났다. 또한 네트워크의 크기를 노드 5,000개에서 10,000개로 증가시켜도 소셜 네트워크 성질을 그대로 유지하는 것으로 나타났다.

This research explores a new finite element model for the free vibration analysis of bi-directional functionally graded (BDFG) beams. The model is based on an efficient higher-order shear deformation beam theory that incorporates a trigonometric warping function for both transverse shear deformation and stress to guarantee traction-free boundary conditions without the necessity of shear correction factors. The proposed two-node beam element has three degrees of freedom per node, and the inter-element continuity is retained using both C1 and C0 continuities for kinematics variables. In addition, the mechanical properties of the (BDFG) beam vary gradually and smoothly in both the in-plane and out-of-plane beam's directions according to an exponential power-law distribution. The highly elevated performance of the developed model is shown by comparing it to conceptual frameworks and solution procedures. Detailed numerical investigations are also conducted to examine the impact of boundary conditions, the bi-directional gradient indices, and the slenderness ratio on the free vibration response of BDFG beams. The suggested finite element beam model is an excellent potential tool for the design and the mechanical behavior estimation of BDFG structures.

Purpose: To evaluate non-sentinel lymph node (LN) status after sentinel lymph node biopsy (SNB) in patients with breast cancer and to identify the predictive factors for disease failure. Materials and Methods: From January 2006 to December 2007, axillary lymph node (ALN) dissection after SNB was performed for patients with primary invasive breast cancer who had no clinical evidence of LN metastasis. A total of 320 patients were treated with breast-conserving surgery and radiotherapy. Results: The median age of patients was 48 years, and the median follow-up time was 72.8 months. Close resection margin (RM) was observed in 13 patients. The median number of dissected SNB was two, and that of total retrieved ALNs was 11. Sentinel node accuracy was 94.7%, and the overall false negative rate (FNR) was 5.3%. Eleven patients experienced treatment failure. Local recurrence, regional LN recurrence, and distant metastasis were identified in 0.9%, 1.9%, and 2.8% of these patients, respectively. Sentinel LN status were not associated with locoregional recurrence (p > 0.05). Close RM was the only significant factor for disease-free survival (DFS) in univariate and multivariate analysis. The 5-year overall survival, DFS, and locoregional DFS were 100%, 96.8%, and 98.1%, respectively. Conclusion: In this study, SNB was performed with high accuracy and low FNR and high locoregional control was achieved.

In this paper, we propose an efficient dynamic workload balancing strategy which improves the performance of high-performance computing system. The key idea of this dynamic workload balancing strategy is to minimize execution time of each job and to maximize the system throughput by effectively using system resource such as CPU, memory. Also, this strategy dynamically allocates job by considering demanded memory size of executing job and workload status of each node. If an overload node occurs due to allocated job, the proposed scheme migrates job, executing in overload nodes, to another free nodes and reduces the waiting time and execution time of job by balancing workload of each node. Through simulation, we show that the proposed dynamic workload balancing strategy based on CPU, memory improves the performance of high-performance computing system compared to previous strategies.

Social media comprises a vast and consequential landscape that has been poorly mapped and understood. Hundreds of millions of people have eagerly moved many of the conversations and discussions that compose civil society into these services and platforms. There is a need to document and analyze these social spaces for many academic and commercial purposes. The Social Media Research Foundation has engaged a strategy to cultivate better research into the structure and dynamics of social media. The foundation is dedicated to the creation of open tools, open data, and open scholarship related to social media. It has implemented a free and open network collection, analysis, and visualization tool called NodeXL to facilitate social media network research. Using NodeXL a group of researchers has collectively authored a publicly available archive, called the NodeXL Graph Gallery, composed of network data sets and visualizations from users around the world. This site has enabled the aggregation of tens of thousands of network datasets and images. Use of the archive has led to scholarly research results that are based on the wide range and scope of social media data sets available.

Adenocarcinoma involving esophago-gastric junction[EGJ is usually originated from the gastric cardia and it presents unique clinical manifestations, requires special surgical care, and bears a much poor prognosis. We analyse the clinical data of 109 adenocarcinoma involving EGJ operated between August, 1987 and March, 1994. Curative resection of primary tumor including esophagus and lymph node dissection was possible on 102 cases[93.5% . Among these cases, 89 cases were advanced state over the stage III. The operative mortality was 1.8% and postoperative morbidity was 16.5%. The overall 3 year and 5 year survival rate was 48.5%, 34.1% each, and median survival was 27.5 month in the curative resected cases. The treatment failure was mainly distant metastsis including lymph node, except one local recurrence.Among many factors influencing long term results of resected adenocarcinoma involving EGJ, the only effort a surgeon can make is to attain completeness of tumor removal by dissecting all involved lymph node and ensuring adequate tumor free margins of both esophageal and cardiac side.
