Motion blur in PET (Positron emission tomography) images induced by respiratory motion will reduce the quality of imaging. Although exiting methods have positive performance for respiratory motion correction in medical practice, there are still many aspects that can be improved. In this paper, an improved 3D unsupervised framework, Res-Voxel based on U-Net network was proposed for the motion correction. The Res-Voxel with multiple residual structure may improve the ability of predicting deformation field, and use a smaller convolution kernel to reduce the parameters of the model and decrease the amount of computation required. The proposed is tested on the simulated PET imaging data and the clinical data. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed achieved Dice indices 93.81%, 81.75% and 75.10% on the simulated geometric phantom data, voxel phantom data and the clinical data respectively. It is demonstrated that the proposed method can improve the registration and correction performance of PET image.

This study made an analysis of the effects of performance and learning orientation for the existing FTA on the intention to use a trilateral FTA among Korea, China and Japan. The results of the empirical analysis of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises(SMEs) located in Gwangju and Jeonnam provinces are as follows. First, there is a positive correlation between the effects of performance for the existing FTA and intention of a trilateral FTA. This result suggests that SMEs' performance feedback can be used as an asset of corporate experience and will be helpful to increase the intention to use a trilateral FTA by contributing to have sustainable competitive advantage of companies. Secondly, there is a positive correlation between the SMEs' learning orientation about FTA and intention to use a trilateral FTA. This result indicates that SMEs have more learning orientation for FTA. They actively acquire and diffuse information. These activities can be helpful for having prior knowledge and absorptive capacity. In conclusion, this study is considered to provide useful theoretical and practical implications that can contribute to enhancing the using intention of a trilateral FTA by explaining the significance of performance feedback and learning orientation.

Recently, research for Network-on-chip(NoC) is progressing. However, due to the increase of system complexity and demand on high performance, conventional copper-based electrical interconnect would be faced with the design limitation of performance, power, and bandwidth. As an alternative to these problems, combined use of Electrical Interconnects(EIs) and Optical Interconnects(OIs) has been introduced. In this paper we propose efficient routing optimization strategy and hybrid switch architecture, which use OIs for critical path and EIs for non-critical path. The proposed method shows up to 25% performance improvement and 38% power reduction.

Self assembled monolayers (SAM) are generally used at the anode/organic interface to enhance the carrier injection in organic light emitting devices, which improves the electroluminescence performance of organic devices. This paper reports the use of SAM of 1-decanethiol (H-S(CH2)9CH3) at the cathode/organic interface to enhance the electron injection process for organic light emitting devices. Aluminum (Al), tris-(8-hydroxyquionoline) aluminum (Alq3), N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3 -methylphenyl)-1,1'- diphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD) and indium-tin-oxide (ITO) were used as bottom cathode, an emitting layer (EML), a hole-transporting layer (HTL) and a top anode, respectively. The results of the capacitancevoltage (C-V), current density -voltage (J-V) and brightness-voltage (B-V), luminance and quantum efficiency measurements show a considerable improvement of the device performance. The dipole moment associated with the SAM layer decreases the electron schottky barrier between the Al and the organic interface, which enhances the electron injection into the organic layer from Al cathode and a considerable improvement of the device performance is observed. The turn-on voltage of the fabricated device with SAM layer was reduced by 6V, the brightness of the device was increased by 5 times and the external quantum efficiency is increased by 0.051%.

A data broadcast is an efficient technique to deliver data to a number of clients in wireless computing environments. In data broadcast systems, which generally have a narrow bandwidth, a caching is introduced to reduce contention for the bandwidth so that the response time can be decreased. In this paper, unlike previous works that use information maintained by clients, we propose several caching strategies using information on data requests of clients maintained by a server. Then, we evaluate the performance of proposed strategies by using simulation approach. According to the results, the strategy that considers both popularity and waiting time maintained by a server generally shows better performance than other strategies.

In this paper, the performance enhancement algorithm of channel allocation for voice and data transmission in cellular networks is proposed. The voice activity detection has been applied to dynamic channel allocation procedure to detect and separate the silence and speech among conversation periods. Hence a data user can use the silent period of an active voice channel to transmit its information. To control the selecting of channel allocation policies, the information of number of data in transmission waiting queue has been determined in order to accept the performance measurement. In the simulation results, the improvement of the performance shows via the quality of services, which are an average delay in queue, a blocking probability, and an impact of the proposed scheme is presented in the system.

Social communications using information and communication technologies (ICT) for social interactions have been making a significant impact on task performance in organizations. However, most of the existing studies on ICT (e.g., telephone and email) have only focused on technical improvement of communication efficiencies (e.g., information exchange and storage). In this paper, we claim that ICT may be another alternative source of knowledge creation that enables employees to work, find solutions, and achieve their goals faster and better. We investigate the impact of ICT in terms of both tasks and social aspects with knowledge creation as task performance. Also, we investigate the moderating effect of media synchronicity on these relationships. This study contributes to the understanding of contemporary communications media usage and its performance in organizations. We collected and analyzed survey data of 248 company employees, using PLS. The results indicate that task urgency and social influence directly affect ICT usage, and even knowledge creation. Also the media synchronicity moderates the relationship between the characteristics of a given task and ICT usage and the relationship between ICT usage and knowledge creation. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are also discussed in the paper.

The ABR(available bit rate) service has been developed to support data application over ATM(asynchronous Transfer mode) networks, and TCP is the most widely used transport layer protocol in existing data networks. Thus, the performance improvement of TCP over ABR is an issue of cardinal importance. In this paper, we propose algorithm of the adjustment of congestion window size utilizing RM(resource Management) cell information. The motivation is to use more reliable information in ER(explicit rate) field within RM cell to determine TCP window size. Simulations are performance using the suggested algorithm is improved, as compared to TCP-reno.

This letter proposes a new blind fractionally spaced equalization (FSE). The conventional linear program (LP) FSE reduces the degree of freedom (DOF) by abandoning many equalization filter taps, which causes severe performance degradations. We use singular value decomposition (SVD) to obtain the signal subspace and to fully utilize all samples for performance improvement. The proposed scheme has similar performance with the nuclear norm minimization and has as low complexity as the LP equalizer.
