무선 Ad-Hoc 네트워크는 전력제한을 갖기 때문에 네트워크의 소모 전력을 최소화 하는 것이 최근의 연구 주제 중 하나이다. 본 논문은 최근에 제안된 수신가지 수가 제한된 이중기회전송 릴레이 시스템의 전력 소모를 줄이고, 시스템의 성능을 개선하기 위하여 각 송신 노드의 최적 전력 분배방식을 제안하고 시스템의 성능을 유도하였다. 분석결과 각 송신 노드가 동일한 전력으로 송신할 경우보다 각 송신노드에 최적의 전력을 할당한 경우가 오수신율이 항상 우수함을 보였고, 또한 평균 채널전력 이득이 작을 경우 평균 송신 릴레이 수를 증가시켜 다이버시티 이득을 크게 함으로써 오수신율을 최소화 하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Location information of sensor nodes plays a critical role in many wireless sensor network (WSN) applications and protocols. Although many localization algorithms have been proposed in recent years, they usually target at dense networks and perform poorly in sparse networks. In this paper, we propose two component-based localization algorithms that can localize many more nodes in sparse networks than the state-of-the-art solution. We first develop the Basic Common nodes-based Localization Algorithm, namely BCLA, which uses both common nodes and measured distances between adjacent components to merge components. BCLA outperforms CALL, the state-of-the-art component-based localization algorithm that uses only distance measurements to merge components. In order to further improve the performance of BCLA, we further exploit the angular information among nodes to merge components, and propose the Component-based Localization with Angle and Distance information algorithm, namely CLAD. We prove the merging conditions for BCLA and CLAD, and evaluate their performance through extensive simulations. Simulations results show that, CLAD can locate more than 90 percent of nodes in a sparse network with average node degree 7.5, while CALL can locate only 78 percent of nodes in the same scenario.

Purpose: There are variants of gastric cancer assoclated with predominantly peritoneal spread of with haematogenous metastases. Perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy as an adjuvant to surgery is considered as a rational therapeutic modality to prevent peritoneal spread. We evaluated the influence of early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy on the prognosis of resectable advanced gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: From 1990 to 1995, 246 patients with biopsy proven advanced gastric cancer were enrolled in the study. Among them 123 patients received early postoperative intraperitoneal mitomycin C and 5-fluorouracil. The survival rate was calculated using by the Kaplan-Meier method and was compared using the log-rank test according to 13 clinico-pathologic factors. Multivariate analysis was performed with the Coxproportional hazards model. Results: Gastric resection plusearly postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy showed an improved survival rate as compared to surgery alone ($54.1\%\;versus\;40.3\%;$ P=0.0325). Depth of tumor invasion, degree of regional lymph vode metastasis, distant metastasis, tumor size, tumor location, extent of gastric resection, and curability of surgery significantly influenced survival. When a multivariate analysis was performed, depth of tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy, curability of surgery, and extent of gastric resection emerged as the statistically significant and independent prognostic factors. Conlusion: Early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy is one of the independent prognostic indicators of resectable advanced gastric cancer.

Melanoma of the scalp is rare condition and seems to be to have a poor prognosis than melanoma of other portion of the body. We had 2 patients suffering from malignant melanoma of scalp. Their charts were reviewed for epidemiologic data, location, Breslow thickness, lymph node involvement and outcome. The therapeutic treatment was wide excision and skin grafting or free flap reconstruction. The early recognition of all the nevi at scalp and proper follow-up of the lesion are key stones to eradicating the changing mole and to preventing this thread to life.

To achieve accurate localization information, complex algorithms that have high computational complexity are usually implemented. In addition, many of these algorithms have been developed to overcome several limitations, e.g., obstruction interference in multi-path and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments. However, localization systems those have complex design experience latency when operating multiple mobile nodes occupying various channels and try to compensate for inaccurate distance values. To operate multiple mobile nodes concurrently, we propose a localization system with both low complexity and high accuracy and that is based on a chirp spread spectrum (CSS) radio. The proposed localization system is composed of accurate ranging values that are analyzed by simple linear regression that utilizes a Big-$O(n^2)$ of only a few data points and an algorithm with a self-calibration feature. The performance of the proposed localization system is verified by means of actual experiments. The results show a mean error of about 1 m and multiple mobile node operation in a $100{\times}35m^2$ environment under NLOS condition.

장기간 피부에 존재하는 궤양성 반흔이나, 만성골 수염의 누루 등에서 편평상피 세포암이 잘 발생하며 이들은 동통이 더욱 심해지거나 종괴의 크기가 갑자기 증가할때 그리고 분비물(discharge)이 늘어 날때는 악성 변화를 의심하여야 하며 조기에 생검을 하여 진단 후 적절한 수술적 치료가 필요하다. 또한 이들은 국소 림프절로의 전이가 빈발하므로 Grade II와 III에서는 예방적으로 국소 림프절에 방사선 조사(irradiation)를 고려해야 된다.

Induction motors are a workhorse for the industry. The condition monitoring and fault analysis are the main concern for the engineers. The bearing is one of the vital segment of the induction machine and the condition of the whole machine is decided based on the condition of the bearing. In the present paper, the vibration signal of the bearing has been used for the analysis. The first line of action is to perform a statistical analysis of the vibration signal which gives trends in signal. To get the location of a fault in the bearing the second action is to develop an index based on Wavelet Packet Transform node energy named as Bearing Damage Index (BDI). Further, Teager-Kaiser Energy Operator (TKEO) has been calculated from higher index value to get the envelope and finally Power Spectral Density (PSD) has been applied to identify the fault frequencies. A performance index has also been developed to compare the usefulness of the proposed method with other existing methods. The result shows that the strong amplitude of fault characteristics and its side bands help to decide the type of fault present in the recorded signal obtained from the bearing.

The dynamic instability analysis of delaminated composite structures subjected to in-plane pulsating forces is carried out based on the higher order shell theory of Sanders. In the finite element (FE) formulation, the seven degrees of freedom per each node are used with transformations in order to fit the displacement continuity conditions at the delamination region. The boundaries of the instability regions are determined using the method proposed by Bolotin. The numerical results obtained for skew plates and shells are in good agreement with those reported by other investigators. The new results for delaminated skew plate and shell structures in this study mainly show the effect of the interactions between the radius-length ratio and other various parameters, for example, skew angles, delamination size, the fiber angle of layer and location of delamination in the layer direction. The effect of the magnitude of the periodic in-plane load on the instability regions is also investigated.

위치를 기반으로 하는 서비스가 다양해짐에 따라 고가용성과 고확장성을 제공하기 위한 분산 데이터 스트림 처리 기법에 대한 연구가 널리 수행되고 있다. 기존 연구는 분산된 노드들에서 부하의 균형을 유지하기 위해 공간 데이터 스트림의 지리적인 특성을 고려하지 않고 있어 공간적으로 인접한 연산을 수행함에 있어 전체 시스템의 부하를 증가시키고 있다. 본 논문에서는 분산 환경의 공간 데이터 스트림을 처리하기 위해 공간 영역의 겹침을 고려한 연산배치 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법에서는 인접한 공간 영역을 대상으로 하는 연산을 효율적으로 분리하기 위해 질의 영역이 겹치는 부분의 연산을 우선적으로 동일 노드에 분배하여 중복 영역에 대한 공유의 최대화를 보장한다.
