Near-field photocurrent experiments were performed for GaAs/AIGaAs MQWs at room temperature. Heavy hole and light hole related peaks are clearly resolved even under extremely low power of near-field excitation. By scanning laterally 2 $\mu\textrm{m}$${\times}$2 $\mu\textrm{m}$ area on the surface, minority carrier diffusion process in the well region was qualitatively studied.

In this paper, throughput of IEEE 802.11 carrier-sense multiple access (CSMA) with collision-avoidance (CA) protocols in non-saturated traffic conditions is presented taking into account the impact of imperfect channel sensing. The imperfect channel sensing includes both missed-detection and false alarm and their impact on the utilization of IEEE 802.11 analyzed and expressed as a closed form. To include the imperfect channel sensing at the physical layer, we modified the state transition probabilities of well-known two state Markov process model. Simulation results closely match the theoretical expressions confirming the effectiveness of the proposed model. Based on both theoretical and simulated results, the choice of the best probability detection while maintaining probability of false alarm is less than 0.5 is a key factor for maximizing utilization of IEEE 802.11.

본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11 WLAN(Wireless LAN)에서 기본 액세스 방식인 DCF(Distributed Coordination Function)의 성능을 높이기 위하여 개선된 알고리즘을 제안한다. CDMA/CA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance)기반인 DCF는 스테이션의 적은 상황에서는 비교적 우수한 성능을 나타내지만 스테이션이 많은 혼잡상황에서는 처리율, 지연율, 충돌률 관점에서 성능이 큰 폭으로 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 패킷 전송 후 충돌이 발생하면 CW(Contention Window)를 4배 증가 시켜주고 패킷의 전송이 성공 시에는 CW를 서서히 줄여주어 연쇄적인 충돌과 잠재적인 충돌을 미연에 방지함으로써 패킷 충돌의 확률을 낮추어 주는 알고리즘을 제안하고 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 성능을 입증한다.

In this study, we propose a reinforcement learning agent to control the data transmission rates of nodes in carrier sensing multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA)-based wireless networks. We design a reinforcement learning (RL) agent, based on Q-learning. The agent learns the environment using the timeout events of packets, which are locally available in data sending nodes. The agent selects actions to control the data transmission rates of nodes that adjust the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) levels of the data packets to utilize the available bandwidth in dynamically changing channel conditions effectively. We use the ns3-gym framework to simulate RL and investigate the effects of the parameters of Q-learning on the performance of the RL agent. The simulation results indicate that the proposed RL agent adequately adjusts the MCS levels according to the changes in the network, and achieves a high throughput comparable to those of the existing data transmission rate adaptation schemes such as Minstrel.

Random access protocol takes advantage of constructing a decentralized wireless network due to its intrinsic spectrum sensing capability. Such technical feature goes well with cognitive radio networks consisting of heterogeneous wireless systems, in which a centralized control between heterogeneous wireless systems is hard to be implemented. Motivated by the decentralized feature of the random access, we adopt the random access protocol in cognitive radio networks, and evaluate the performance of a CSMA-based cognitive radio network.

A study on the modeling of the methane Chemical Looping Reforming system was carried out. It is aimed to predict the temperature and concentration behavior of the product through modeling of oxygen carrier fixed bed reactors composed of multiple stacks. In order to design the reaction system, first of all, the flow rate of the hydrogen to be produced was calculated. The flow rate ratio of the oxidation/reduction reactor was calculated considering the heat of reaction between adjacent reactors. Finally, in this paper, kinetic model including empirical coefficients was suggested.

IEEE 802.11 DCF에서는 CSMA/CA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance)를 통해 패킷들간의 충돌 확률을 줄여주고 있다. 하지만, 채널을 공유하는 station들이 증가할수록 충돌이 심해져 이를 해결하기 위해 많은 연구가 수행되고 있다. 그 대표적인 접근 방법으로 802.11 표준의 backoff 방식을 개선하거나, DCF+[3]처럼 Data­ACK (혹은 RTS­CTS­Data­ACK)의 기존의 프레임 교환 방식을 수정하여 한 번 전송에 성공한 station이 채널을 오랫동안 소유하여 채널의 활용도를 높이는 방법을 제안하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 방법들과는 다르게 성공하였을 때가 아니라 충돌이 발생하였을 때의 상황을 역으로 이용하여 무선망에서 공명성(fairness)를 높이는 새로운 방법을 제시하고 있다.

To demonstrate the effect of formulation conditions on the controlled release of protein from poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres for use as a parenteral drug carrier, ovalbumin (OVA) microspheres were prepared using the W/O/W multiple emulsion solvent evaporation and extraction method. Methylene chloride or ethyl acetate was applied as an organic phase and poly(vinyl alcohol) as a secondary emulsion stabilizer. Low loading efficiencies of less than 20％ were observed and the in vitro release of OVA showed a burst effect in all batches of different microspheres, followed by a gradual release over the next 6 weeks. Formulation processes affected the size and morphology, drug content, and the controlled release of OVA from PLGA microspheres.

This paper qualitatively and quantitatively examines the effectiveness of regulations currently in place in the Korean mobile telecommunications market by comparing their intended objectives with the actual outcome, particularly with respect to the performance of market participants. The results show that the regulations have generally been effective in lowering the average revenue per user of carriers. However, the managed competition efforts of the government have also resulted in increased revenues for the top two carriers in the market without significantly affecting their general business operations.

In this paper, the baseline-length information is directly modeled as a measurement for the Wald test, which speeds up the resolution convergence of the integer ambiguity of GPS carrier phase measurements. The convergent speed improvement is demonstrated using numerical simulation and real experiments. It is also shown that the integer ambiguities can be resolved using only four actual satellite measurements with very reasonable convergence speed, if the baseline-length information is used just like one additional observable satellite measurement. Finally, it is shown that the improvement of convergence speed of the Wald test is due to the increase of the probability ratio with the use of the baseline-length constraint.
