In this paper, we propose packet selection and significance based interval allocation algorithm for real-time streaming service. In real-time streaming of inter-frame (and layer) coded video, minimizing packet loss does not imply maximizing QoS. It is true that packet loss adversely affects the QoS but one single packet can have more impact than several other packets. We exploit the fact that the significance of each packet loss is different from the frame type it belongs to and its position within GoP. Using packet dependency and PSNR degradation value imposed on the video from the corresponding packet loss, we find each packet's significance value. Based on the packet significance, the proposed algorithm determines which packets to send and when to send them. The proposed algorithm is tested using publicly available MPEG-4 video traces. Our scheduling algorithm brings significant improvement on user perceivable QoS. We foresee that the proposed algorithm manifests itself in last mile connection of the network where intervals between successive packets from the source and to the destination are well preserved.

멀티미디어의 프레임들은 QoS에 각각 다른 정도의 영향을 미치기 때문에, 패킷 손실을 줄이는 것이 항상 QoS를 향상시키는 것은 아니다. 사용자가 느끼는 QoS를 극대화하기 위해 본 논문은 중요성 기반 패킷 스케줄링을 제안한다. 중요성 기반 패킷 스케줄링 기법은 패킷 스케줄링의 두 가지 근본적인 문제를 해결한다. 하나는 "무엇을 보내는 가"이고 다른 하나는 "언제 보내는 가" 이다. 이용 가능한 대역폭이 계속 변화할 때, 대역폭에 적응하기 위해 모든 패킷을 보낼 수 없을 경우에는 일부의 패킷을 선택해서 보낼 수밖에 없다. 이를 위해 패킷 Significance를 제안하는데, 패킷 Significance는 효과적으로 프레임 상관관계를 파악하고 프레임의 중요도를 정량화한다. 그리디(greedy) 접근 기법이 패킷 선택 문제에 사용되었고, 패킷 Significance가 전송 스케줄링에 고려되었다. 널리 공개된 MPEG-4 비디오 클립이 실험에 사용되었으며, 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어에 디코딩 엔진이 삽입되었고, 성능 평가를 위해 PSNR을 측정하였다. 크기 기반 패킷 스케줄링 기법 및 비트 레이트 기반 최선(bit-rate based best-effort) 스케줄링 기법과 성능을 비교 분석하였다. 제안하는 기법이 더 중요한 패킷에 차별화 된 보호기능을 성공적으로 부여하며, QoS를 크게 향상시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

A novel damage classification method based on wavelet packet transform and statistical analysis is developed in this study for structural health monitoring. The response signal of a structure under an impact load is normalized and then decomposed into wavelet packet components. Energies of these wavelet packet components are then calculated to obtain the energy distribution. Statistical similarity comparison based on an F-test is used to classify the structure from changes in the wavelet packet energy distribution. A statistical indicator is developed to describe the damage extent of the structure. This approach is applied to the test results from simply supported reinforced concrete beams in the laboratory. Cases with single and two damages are created from static loading, and accelerations of the structure from under impact loads are analyzed. Results show that the method can be used with no reference baseline measurement and model for the damage monitoring and assessment of the structure with alarms at a specified significance level.

계층적 압축 기법을 지원하는 스트리밍 시스템 응용은 제한된 네트워크 자원의 효과적인 활용과 사용자가 느끼는 화질을 최대로 해야 한다. 이를 위해서는 적절한 전송 계층의 선택 및 패킷 인터벌 결정이 이루어져야 한다. 본 논문에서는 계층이 갖는 화질의 영향력을 바탕으로 패킷 인터벌 결정 및 계층 선택 알고리즘 SAPS를 제시한다. 인터-프레임 압축 기법을 사용하는 비디오 스트리밍 시스템에서 패킷 손실의 감소만으로는 재생 화질의 향상을 이룰 수 없고, 재생 화질에 높은 영향력을 가진 패킷의 복원율이 높아질 때, 비로소 재생 화질이 향상된다. SAPS는 패킷의 의존성 그래프를 바탕으로 전송 계층을 결정하며, 이렇게 결정된 전송 계층은 사용자가 느끼는 서비스의 품질을 최대로 만든다. 또한, 선택된 계층에 대한 패킷의 인터벌 조절을 통해 계층 선택에 의한 효과가 유지되도록 한다. 실험을 통해 SAPS 알고리즘이 사용자가 느끼는 서비스 품질의 향상뿐만 아니라, 네트워크 자원 활용도 효과적으로 이루고 있음을 보여준다.

The design of cluster-based routing protocols is necessary for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). But, due to the lack of features, the traditional methods face issues, especially on unbalanced energy consumption of routing protocol. This work focuses on enhancing the security and energy efficiency of the system by proposing Energy Efficient Based Secure Routing Protocol (EESRP) which integrates trust management, optimization algorithm and key management. Initially, the locations of the deployed nodes are calculated along with their trust values. Here, packet transfer is maintained securely by compiling a Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) approach. Finally, trust, key, location and energy parameters are incorporated in Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and meta-heuristic based Harmony Search (HS) method to find the secure shortest path. Our results show that the energy consumption of the proposed approach is 1.06mJ during the transmission mode, and 8.69 mJ during the receive mode which is lower than the existing approaches. The average throughput and the average PDR for the attacks are also high with 72 and 62.5 respectively. The significance of the research is its ability to improve the performance metrics of existing work by combining the advantages of different approaches. After simulating the model, the results have been validated with conventional methods with respect to the number of live nodes, energy efficiency, network lifetime, packet loss rate, scalability, and energy consumption of routing protocol.

PURPOSE. To compare the changes in the occlusal vertical dimension, activity of masseter muscles and biting force after insertion of immediate denture constructed with conventional, tooth-supported and Implant-supported immediate mandibular complete denture. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Patients were selected and treatment was carried out with all the three different concepts i.e, immediate denture constructed with conventional (Group A), tooth-supported (Group B) and Implant-supported (Group C) immediate mandibular complete dentures. Parameters of evaluation and comparison were occlusal vertical dimension measured by radiograph (at three different time intervals), Masseter muscle electromyographic (EMG) measurement by EMG analysis (at three different positions of jaws) and bite force measured by force transducer (at two different time intervals). The obtained data were statistically analyzed by using ANOVA-F test at 5% level of significance. If the F test was significant, Least Significant Difference test was performed to test further significant differences between variables. RESULTS. Comparison between mean differences in occlusal vertical dimension for tested groups showed that it was only statistically significant at 1 year after immediate dentures insertion. Comparison between mean differences in wavelet packet coefficients of the electromyographic signals of masseter muscles for tested groups was not significant at rest position, but significant at initial contact position and maximum voluntary clench position. Comparison between mean differences in maximum biting force for tested groups was not statistically significant at 5% level of significance. CONCLUSION. Immediate complete overdentures whether tooth or implant supported prosthesis is recommended than totally mucosal supported prosthesis.

Background Phosphatidylcholine (PPC) and deoxycholate (DCA) compound has been recently used for the purpose of partial lipolysis and is valued for its efficacy and lower invasiveness compared to liposuction and dermolipectomy used previously. In this article, the authors discuss the efficacy of the PPC dissolved in DCA via an experimental rat study model, along with suggesting a useful animal experimental model for the study of adipose tissue and lipolysis. Methods Bilateral inguinal fat pads of an experimental rat were elevated with the deep inferior epigastric vessel as the sole vascular pedicle. Normal saline was injected on one side as a control group and a PPC and DCA compound was injected on the other side. After 4 days, the rats were euthanized for microscopic tissue examination. The pathology was scored by a sem-iquantitative system in 4 categories: normal fat amount, fat necrosis, inflammatory activity, and stage of fibrosis. A Wilcoxon signed-rank test powered by SPSS packet program was used for statistical analysis and to determine significance. Results Microscopic examination was performed on the obtained samples, and the experimental data of all four categories showed significant histologic differences compared to the control group. All of the data also showed statistical significance by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test (P<0.01). Conclusions In the inguinal fat pad rat model, the control group and the experimental group had a differed significantly in the amount of normal fat tissue, inflammation, necrosis, and fibrosis. We recommend the rat inguinal fat pad model used in this study, as it is likely to be useful in related research.

The scalable extension of the H.264/AVC video coding standard (SVC) demonstrates superb adaptability in video communications. Joint source and channel coding (JSCC) has been shown to be very effective for such scalable video consisting of parts of different significance. In this paper, a new JSCC scheme for SVC transmission over packet loss channels is proposed which performs two-dimensional optimization on the quality layers of each frame in a rate-distortion (R-D) sense as well as on the temporal hierarchical structure of frames under dependency constraints. To compute the end-to-end R-D points of a frame, a novel reduced trellis algorithm is developed with a significant reduction of complexity from the existing Viterbi-based algorithm. The R-D points of frames are sorted under the hierarchical dependency constraints and optimal JSCC solution is obtained in terms of the best R-D performance. Experimental results show that our scheme outperforms the existing scheme of [13] with average quality gains of 0.26 dB and 0.22 dB for progressive and non-progressive modes respectively.
