With longevity (75 years plus and still increasing) now commonly achievable, the new challenge for individuals and society is less concerned with adding more years to life, though that remains important, and more with adding life to years. To explore the quality of long life more fully, a concept broader than healthy ageing or active ageing is needed. For this purpose, the present article describes a framework of Positive Ageing, also known as Successful Ageing, which views the quality of long life as comprising good health, physical and cognitive functional independence, and meaningful engagement with life. Narrowly defined, it refers to old people ageing well in all these aspects. More broadly defined, it refers to ageing well from midlife on. The framework also identifiesvariables that may affect the process of ageing positively. These variables include the social-cognitive styles of control, humour and future-time perspective on the one hand, and on the other hand, resources based on finance, social network and lifestyle.

The Internet has become an essential part in our modern life by providing useful information. So, the volume of Internet traffic has been increasing rapidly, which emphasizes the importance of network traffic analysis for effective network operation and management. Signature based analysis have been commonly used, but it is shown that the increase of signatures due to the increase of applications causes the performance degradation of real-time traffic analysis on high-speed network links. In this paper, we propose OS fingerprinting method for real-time traffic analysis. The previous problems can be solved by utilizing the OS information. The OS fingerprinting method for real-time traffic analysis, proposed in this paper, conducts under passive mode, and improves the limitation of a previous method such as low completeness and accuracy. In this paper, we enlarged an input data to improve completeness, and used the User-Agent field in HTTP packet to extract various OS signatures. Also, we changed an input data from packet to flow to improve accuracy.

The purpose of this study is to introduce a new spacer damper for the bundle transmission lines network. It has the special design, the main characteristics and advantage of this new kind of spacer damper. An Existing spacer damper with bolted clamps, although widely used, is a method of connection with certain disadvantage both as regards assembly on the conductor and in the course of time. Even if tightening torque is correctly applied by using bolt with share head or torque wrench during working time, the aeolian vibration could involve untightening during life time, so the cable can move into the Jaws and wire's breakage appear. To salve this problems, France, Japan and other countries had developed a spacer damper with an automatic system through many years. This new spacer damper is an original automatic clamping device (beltless) which does not require special tool for its installation. This device prevents clamp unlocking problems, ensures a simple installation and ensures a reliable-tightening during life time. Therefore, it is necessary to localize this boltless spacer damper with automate clamping device.

There are already many researches providing u-Healthcare service, but they have left problems to be improved. First of all, the transmission range between sensor nodes and the gateway are restricted. Hence, patients feel uncomfortable because of they need to possess or locate closed to a gateway all the time when they aggregates their medical data. Also, the existing systems have not considered life environment that is important to analyze patient's diseases. Moreover, a guardian need to located close to patient or possess a mobile device that monitors a patients' status in real time when they are in outdoor. In this research, we present multi-hop packet transfer algorithm and compilation of life environment which help improve the problem of the existing researches. Likewise, we designed and implemented a medical information database and a real-time web monitoring system that manage patients' personal history and monitor a patients' status in real time. In this paper, we design and implement the u-Healthcare system based on mobile environment and we present a result when we tested our u-Healthcare system in scenario environment.

The microcell terrain is the most common wireless network terrain in our life. In order to solve wireless network optimization of weak coverage in the microcell terrain, improve call quality and reduce the cost of the premise, power amplifiers in base stations should be adjusted according to user volume. In this paper, characteristics of microcell topography are obtained after analysis. According to the topography characteristics of different microcells, changes in the number of users at different times have been estimated, meanwhile, the number of scatter users are also obtained by monitoring the PCCPCH RSCP and other parameters. Then B-Spline interpolation method has been applied to scatter users to obtain the continuous relationship between the number of users and time. On this basis, power amplification can be chosen according to changes in the number of users. The methods adopted by this paper are also applied in the engineering practice, sampling and interpolation are used to obtain the number of users at all times, so that the power amplification can be adjusted by the number of users in a microcell. Such a method is able to optimize wireless network and achieve a goal of expanding the area of base stations, reduce call drop rate and increase capacity.

This paper proposes an algorithm to improve total network lifetime for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) application such as environmental condition monitoring systems based on LEACH protocol. Firstly, the algorithm had equal number of nodes allocated to each cluster at cluster set-up phase where it abided by LEACH protocol. Secondly, at cluster set-up phase, each node was determined the order to be cluster header of the cluster which it had joined. After then, the role of a cluster head delivers to the next node according to determined order when the cluster head has received certain number of packets. With above method energy consumption of each node made equal and overall network lifetime was increased. Simulation results shows that overall network lifetime of proposed algorithm was increased two times than that of LEACH and total energy consumption was one forth of that of LEACH protocol.

Sensor network as an infrastructure of IoT(Internet of Things) has reliability issue because sensor nodes have limited memory as well as bounded battery. To improve the reliability of network, this paper proposes a data distribution scheme. The proposed algorithm distributes the data which each sensor node periodically produces into neighbor nodes that have enough memory as well as battery. This distribution process goes on more than 1 hop for overcoming unexpected spatial crash. Through simulation, we have confirmed that the proposed scheme can improve the resilience of IoT without affecting the life time of sensor network.

Quality sorting of cut flowers is very essential to increase the value of products. There are many factors that determine the quality of cut flowers such as length, thickness, and straightness of stem, and color and maturity of bud. Among these factors, the straightness of stem and the maturity of bud are generally considered to be more difficult to evaluate. A prototype grading and sorting machine for cut flowers was developed and tested for a rose variety. The machine consisted of a chain-drive feed mechanism, a pneumatic discharge system, and a grading system utilizing color image processing and neural network. Artificial neural network algorithm was utilized to grade cut roses based on the straightness of stem and maturity of bud. Test results showed 89% agreement with human expert for the straightness of stem and 90% agreement for the maturity of bud. Average processing time for evaluating straightness of the stem and maturity of the bud were 1.01 and 0.44 second, respectively. Application of neural network eliminated difficulties in determining criteria of each grade category while maintaining similar level of classification error.

An efficient battery usage of sensor nodes is main goal in a sensor network, which is the substructure of Internet of Things. Maximizing the battery usage of sensor nodes makes the lifetime of sensor network increase as well as the reliability of the network improved. The previous solutions to solve these problems are mainly focused on the cluster head selection based on the remaining energy. In this paper, we consider both the head selection and the replacement interval which is determined by a threshold that is based on the remaining energy, density of alive nodes, and location. Our simulation results show that the proposed scheme has outstanding contribution in terms of maximizing the life time of the network and balancing energy consumption of all nodes.
