Appropriate use of local hemostatic agent is one of the important factors on the prognosis of endodontic microsurgery. However, most investigations to date focus on the hemostatic efficacy of the agents, whereas their biologic characteristics have not received enough attention. The purpose of this paper was to review the biologic response of local hemostatic agents, and to provide clinical guidelines on their use during endodontic microsurgery. Electronic database (PUBMED) was screened to search related studies from 1980 to 2013, and 8 clinical studies and 18 animal studies were identified. Among the materials used in these studies, most widely-investigated and used materials, epinephrine, ferric sulfate (FS) and calcium sulfate (CS), were thoroughly discussed. Influence of these materials on local tissue and systemic condition, such as inflammatory and foreign body reaction, local ischemia, dyspigmentation, delayed or enhanced bone and soft tissue healing, and potential cardiovascular complications were assessed. Additionally, biological property of their carrier materials, cotton pellet and absorbable collagen, were also discussed. Clinicians should be aware of the biologic properties of local hemostatic agents and their carrier materials, and should pay attention to the potential complications when using them in endodontic microsurgery.

Antiplatelet agent is administered to the patients who have ischemic heart disease, transient cerebral infarction, as well as hypertension, etc. Antiplatelet agent prevents thromboembolism by inhibition of platelet aggregation by various mechanism. Due to that reason, patient who administered antiplatelet agent has bleeding tendency. Surgeon does not want to make a complication by bleeding during and after operation, and want to stop taking antiplatelet agent. However, It is very dangerous for the patient to stop antiplatelet agent. Local bleeding as a complication after operation is considered minor one, whereas thromboembolism is life threatening serious complication. Most dental intervention can be performed without withdrawal of antiplatelet agent. Dental intervention should be limited area, and surgeon should do active bleeding control.

While most of the existing protection schemes have been designed with local information around individual components, these local schemes are not considered capable of protecting the modern electric power gird with growing complexity. Recent blackouts in North America and Europe have renewed the emphasis on coordinated protection and control actions to avoid systemwide blackouts, utilizing all of the available grid information. Thus, this paper proposes a new methodology, Agent-based Colored Petri Net (ACPN) modeling for systematically representing, modeling and analyzing information flows and interactions among the entities of the electric power grid. The paper demonstrates its efficacy and accuracy by investigating an ACPN model of a wide area protection system for a typical power grid. The proposed modeling and analysis schemes may further provide a framework to help assure reliability and interoperability of diverse smart grid components.

This paper studies asymptotic consensus problem for linear multi-agent systems. We propose a distributed state feedback control algorithm for solving the problem under fixed and undirected network communication. In contrast with the conventional algorithms that use global information (e.g., graph connectivity), the proposed algorithm only uses local information from neighbors. The principle for achieving asymptotic consensus is that, for each agent, a distributed update law gradually increases the coupling gain of LQR-type feedback and thus, the overall stability of the multi-agent system is recovered by the gain margin of LQR.

Recently, as the need for data access by integrating information in a distributed cloud environment increases in enterprise-wide enterprises, interoperability for collaboration between existing legacy systems is emphasized. In order to interconnect independent legacy systems, it is necessary to overcome platform heterogeneity and semantic heterogeneity. To solve this problem, middleware was built using EMRA (Extended MetaData Registry Access) based on ISO/IEC 11179. However, the designed middleware cannot guarantee the efficiency of information utilization because it does not have an adjustment function for each node's resource status and work status. Therefore, it is necessary to manage and adjust the legacy system. In this paper, we coordinate the correct data access between the information requesting agent and the information providing agent, and integrate it by designing a cooperative agent responsible for information monitoring and task distribution of each legacy system and resource management of local nodes. to make efficient use of the available information.

In this paper, a protection system using a Multi-Agent concept for power distribution networks is proposed. Every digital over current relay(OCR) is developed as an agent by adding its own intelligence, self-tuning and communication ability. The main advantage of the Multi-Agent concept is that a group of agents work together to achieve a global goal which is beyond the ability of each individual agent. In order to cope with frequent changes in the network operation condition and faults, an OCR agent, suggested in this paper, is able to detect a fault or a change in the network and find its optimal parameters for protection in an autonomous manner considering information of the whole network obtained by communication between other agents. Through this kind of coordination and information exchanges, not only a local but also a global protective scheme is completed. Simulations in a simple distribution network show the effectiveness of the suggested protection system.

Among various types of creativity, team creativity has been always receiving attention from both practitioners and researchers because most of works are done in a team format in organizations. Therefore, it would be the best way for corporate performance to increase when team creativity is managed carefully to increase in a steadfast way. Though there are lots of ways to grow team creativity, this study explores the issue of increasing the team creativity by adopting CMC (computer-mediated communication) and exploration and exploitation, which were studied separately, but never analyzed together in the same research framework. Experiments to prove the validity of the research questions are based on ABM (Agent-Based Modeling) simulation. Netlogo language was adopted to build a prototype engine for the simulation engine. Experiment results revealed that in the short-term, both broad CMC mode with high exploration and exploitation, and local CMC mode with high exploration and exploitation result in higher team creativity than other types of combination. However, in the long run, broad CMC mode yields higher team creativity level than local CMC mode.

In order to securely transmit multicast data packets in a mobile environment where frequent join/leave events are a characteristic of the environment, there is a need for a new secure and efficient group key management solution. We propose a secure group key generation/distribution solution providing scalability and reliability. Using this solution, when a mobile node, which is in a multicast session, enters a new domain, the agent of the domain joins the multicast session and coordinates its data packets with the mobile node. The agent encrypts and transmits subsequent data packets to the mobile node, using a local one-time pad key. This key is generated with FI sequences, enabling the mobile node to regenerate the same data packet, based on the information sent by the agent. Our performance analysis demonstrates that the proposed solution can significantly reduce the number of key generations and distributions, when it is applied to the hierarchical mobile IPv6 network.

A user desktop service can be made available on internet or local area network with the help of virtualization and cloud technologies. The service is usually called a virtual desktop or a desktop cloud. However, a user interface is limited to I/O capabilities of a user's mobile terminal. In order to enhance a user interface on a remote virtual desktop, it is important to connect full-featured I/O devices which are founded locally. Our previous work called SoD (System-on- Demand) has proposed a technique to associate local full-featured I/O devices with a remote virtual desktop in Xen. On the technique, it is required to install a SoD client agent in a user's mobile terminal for connecting a remote virtual desktop. In this paper, we propose a new framework called Web-SoD that does not require any explicit installation to make SoD service available. The SoD client agent is provided by the web technology so that the agent can be installed transparently, and the platform independency is also achieved. Due to insufficient network socket performance of current web technologies, we extend Native Client (NaCl) proposed by Google to support a network functionality by modifying a NaCl library and a service runtime. With conducted experiment, we show that the network extension supports a full socket functionality over the compromised overhead on the web environment.
