Self-organizing hierarchical ad hoc network (SOHAN) is a new ad-hoc network architecture designed to improve the scalability properties of conventional 'flat' ad hoc networks. This network architecture consists of three tiers of ad-hoc nodes, i.e.. access points, forwarding nodes and mobile nodes. This paper presents a topology discovery and routing protocol for the self-organization of SOHAN. We propose a cross-layer path metric based on link quality and MAC delay which plays a key role in producing an optimal cluster-based hierarchical topology with high throughput capacity. The topology discovery protocol provides the basis for routing which takes place in layer 2.5 using MAC addresses. The routing protocol is based on AODV with appropriate modifications to take advantage of the hierarchical topology and interact with the discovery protocol. Simulation results are presented which show the improved performance as well as scalability properties of SOHAN in terms of through-put capacity, end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio and control overhead.

The SHE(Selected Harmonic Elimination) PWM scheme which eliminates specific lower order harmonics can generate h high quality output waveforms in 3-level PWM inverters. However. its application has limited since SHE switching a angles cannot be calculated on-line by a microprocessor-implemented control system. Based on off-line optimization. in which multiple SHE solutions were found and analysed for 2 to 5 switching angles per quarter in the 3-level SHE PWM pattern. this paper presents an algebraic algorithm for an ordinary microprocessor to calculate approximate SHE S switching angles on-line with such high resolution that it makes no practical difference between the accurate and the a approximate SHE switching angles. By employing the variable of the dc-link voltage Vdc' the proposed SHE PWM p pattern can ideally compensate the dc input fluctuation together with selected harmonics eliminated.

It is aware that Bandwidth management with dramatically increasing traffic on account of frequent and large file transmission in a data grid environment is one of essential needs. A this paper we propose new method which guarantees QoS (Quality of Service) by being in control of resources in TCP layer based on existing studies that manage bandwidth over TCP buffer tuning. General QoS solutions manage network resources subsequent to observing them in IP or link layer, but the scheme in the paper is able to control network resources in TCP layer that is network upper layer. Consequently, bandwidth allocation to each user can be efficiently controlled depending on an authority each user is given so that users could be use different bandwidth. It is expected that a new paradigm is supposed in network resource management and the method of levies for users' bandwidth uses.

We have proposed a solution to multicast services and an advanced quality of service (QoS) mechanism on a packet transport system (PTS) based on PBB-TE. The point-to-multipoint (PtMP) connection in the PBB-TE system have been realized by grouping point-to-point (PtP) PTL trunks and mapping a BSI onto the PtP PTL trunks using a multicast backbone destination address. To provide end-to-end QoS of the PtMP services, the hierarchical QoS scheme for backbone service instances and connection-oriented paths has been implemented in the PTS. For providing different capabilities for service selection and priority selection, the PTS offers to customers three basic types of the port-based, C-tagged, and S-tagged service interface defined by the IEEE 802.1ah. To offer to customers different capabilities of the layer 3 applications and services, moreover, an IP-flow service interface have been added. In order to evaluate traffic performance for PtMP services in the PTS, the PtMP throughputs for the link capacity of 1 Gbps at the four service interfaces were measured in the leaves of the ingress edge node, the transit node, and the egress edge node. The throughputs were about 96 % because the B-MAC overhead of 22 bytes occupies 4% of the 512-byte packet. The QoS performance is ability to guarantee an application or a user a required bandwidth, and could be evaluated by the accuracy of policing or shaping. The accuracy of the policing scheme and the accuracy of the shaping scheme were 99% and 99.3% respectively.

Physical Web and Eddystone can be serviced by a single integrated application on the device by using their servers' URL. However, they have a limitation that their servers must be customized for service characteristics on a case by case basis. In other words, regardless of the service selected for BLE, it should have a modified linkage application for each device. Hence, we think that a new integrated service platform, which is able to link and support its Beacon from the central server and is also able to support its application, is needed for achieving better service quality. This platform consists of push (Broadcasting for Beacon service) parts and pull (Connection) parts to establish communication. Especially, Pull should be operated and controlled under the authorization (secure) management for safe and trustable communication. It means that BLE must have its new authorization communications protocol to protect its data as much as possible. In this paper, we propose a BLE integrated authorization protocol for a BLE device control server based on Physical Web and Eddystone.

A four-link mechanism consisting of torsion bars is used for opening the trunk lid in most midsize sedans. When the weight of the lid is in equilibrium with the spring force exerted by torsion bars, the lid stops opening at a pop-up height. However, the actual pop-up height has large deviations from the specified height even with the same parts in the same car model, which leads to quality issues. Automotive manufacturers have experienced this deviation problem despite much effort to resolve it. In this research, we developed a multi-body dynamics model for the analysis of pop-up deviation of a trunk lid with torsion bars, which can simulate the actual pop-up motion of the trunk lid by considering kinematic constraints of the motion and friction forces in joints. We could also determine the most important factor that governs the pop-up height by sensitivity analysis of all parts. The developed system can be used for the analysis of other trunk lid systems to control the tolerance of parts.

The call admission control algorithm of hybrid scheme is proposed to enhance the QoS(quality of service) of attempted multimedia calls. In the initial stage of 3rd generation multimedia services networks, the major limitations include the small sefyice coverage and the limited radio link capacity. Because the initial massive deployment of network elements such as base stations, base station controllers, and mobile switching centers is restricted to populated areas and the other areas should be covered with the fewer network elements, the radio channel resources are hmited and coverage network is supposed to be established. Therefore the QoS of multimedia services is expected to be severely degraded when tentative traffic hot spot occurs frequently. Thus, the blocking probability of attempted calls mcreases when relatively large number of users try to place multimedia calls in a hot spot area of the wireless networks. In this situation, the proposed hybrid scheme can mitigate the degradation of the QoS of multimedia services by using the available radio channels of the neighboring cells.

The 15-kDa selenoprotein (Sep15) is a selenoprotein residing in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and implicated in quality control of protein folding. Herein, we established an inducible RNAi cell line that targets Sep15 mRNA in Chang liver cells. RNAi-induced Sep15 deficiency led to inhibition of cell proliferation, whereas cell growth was resumed after removal of the knockdown inducer. Sep15-deficient cells were arrested at the G1 phase by upregulating p21 and p27, and these cells were also characterized by ER stress. In addition, Sep15 deficiency led to the relocation of focal adhesions to the periphery of the cell basement and to the decrease of the migratory and invasive ability. All these changes were reversible depending on Sep15 status. Rescuing the knockdown state by expressing a silent mutant Sep15 mRNA that is resistant to siRNA also reversed the phenotypic changes. Our results suggest that SEP15 plays important roles in the regulation of the G1 phase during the cell cycle as well as in cell motility in Chang liver cells, and that this selenoprotein offers a novel functional link between the cell cycle and cell motility.

This paper investigates the teaching and learning of Linear function relating functional contexts and suggests the improved methods of representation-shift through this analysis. The methods emphasize the link between students' preacquired knowledge of mathematical representations and the way of using those. This methods are explanatory teaching, teaching and teaming based on modelling perspectives or tasks (interpretation, prediction, translation and scaling). We categorize the 8th grade middle school students' errors on the linear function relating real contexts and make a comparative study of the error-remedial effects and the teaching and teaming methods. We present the results of a study in which representation-shift methods based on modelling perspectives and tasks are more effective in terms of flexible connection of representations and error remediation. Also, We describe how students used modelling perspective-taking to explain and justify their conceptual models, to assess the quality of their models and to make connection to other mathematical representation during the problem solving focusing on the students' self-diagnosis.
