Optical packet switching is a promising technology, which can integrate both data and optical network. In this paper, we present a comparative study of various traffic arrival approaches in WDM packet switches. The comparison is made based on packet loss rate and average delay under uniform and self-similar Pareto traffic. Computer simulations are performed in order to obtain the switch performance metrics. Study shows that burstiness of data traffic has a strong negative impact in the performance of WDM packet switches.

A combined random/reservation multiple access protocol is proposed which can provide services for packet transmission in mobile satellite systems between mobile statons, or between mobile stations and fixed stations. Random multiple access protocol and reservation multiple access protocol which are currently employed in most satellite communication systems have some strengthes and some weeknesses in according to the kind of user and traffic. In this paper, a combined random/reservation multiple access protocol with better characteristics is proposed. The models of the modified random access protocol and the proposed access protocol is setted and analyzed. The performance of the PDAMA protocol, the random access protocol and the proposed access protocol is compared using simulation. For small packet arrival rate, the performance of the proposed access protocol is close at that of the modified random access protocol, and better than that of the PDAMA protocol. As the packet arrival rate is increased, the modified random access protocol is saturated and unstable at 0.23, and the performance of the proposed access protocol is better than that of the PDAMA protocol.

This paper analyzes the performance of voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP) services in terms of the system throughput, the packet delay, and the signaling overhead in a mobile WiMAX system with a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) mechanism. Furthermore, a queueing analytical model is developed with due consideration of adaptive modulation and coding, the signaling overhead, and the retransmissions of erroneous packets. The arrival process is modeled as the sum of the arrival rate at the initial transmission queue and the retransmission queue, respectively. The service rate is calculated by taking the HARQ retransmissions into consideration. This paper also evaluates the performance of VoIP services in a mobile WiMAX system with and without persistent allocation; persistent allocation is a technique used to reduce the signaling overhead for connections with a periodic traffic pattern and a relatively fixed payload. As shown in the simulation results, the HARQ mechanism increases the system throughput as well as the signaling overhead and the packet delay.

Purpose: An increase in the demand for specialized Trauma Centers led to a government-driven campaign, that began in 2009. Our hospital was selected as one of the Trauma Centers, and we reviewed data on trauma patients in order to correlate the mortality at a regional Trauma Center with its contributing factors, such as the severity of the injury, the means of arrival, and the time duration before arrival at our center. Methods: Data on the patients who visited our Trauma Center from January 2010 to November 2011 were retrospectively reviewed using electronic medical records. The patients who had revised trauma scores (RTSs) less than 7 or injury severity scores (ISSs) greater than 15 were included. The patients were categorized as survivors and non-survivors, and the means of arrival as transferred or visited directly. Time durations before arrival of less than one hour were also taken intoconsideration. Results: Two hundred(200) patients were enrolled, and the mortality rate was 36.5%. The most common cause of the accident was an automobile accident, and the most common cause of death was brain injury. The RTSs and the ISSs were significantly different in the non-survivor and the survivor groups. The mortality rate of the patients who were transferred was not statistically different from that of patients who visited directly. However, a time duration before arrival of less than one hour was statistically meaningful. Conclusion: The prognosis of the trauma patients were correlated with the severity of the trauma as can be expected, but the time between the incidence of accident and the arrival at hospital and whether the presence of transfer to trauma center were not statistically significant to the prognosis.

본 연구에서는 시멘트페이스트의 유동성 및 수화반응속도에 미치는 폴리카르본산계 고성능AE감수제의 영향에 대해서 첨가율, 분자구조 등의 관점에서 검토를 하였다. 시멘트페이스트의 유동성은 폴리카르본산계 고성능AE감수제를 첨가하는 것에 따라 증가하였다. 또한 그래프트가 짧은 폴리카르본산계 고성능AE감수제를 사용한 경우가 그래프트가 긴 것에 비해 저첨가율에서의 유동성은 향상되었다. 시멘트페이스트의 최고수화발열속도까지의 도달시간에 미치는 폴리카르본산계 고성능AE감수제의 영향은 첨가율이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 더욱이 시멘트페이스트의 유동성이 동일할 정도의 첨가량에 있어서도 그래프트가 긴 폴리카르본산계 고성능AE감수제의 경우가 그래프트의 길이가 짧은것의 경우보다 최고수화발열속도까지의 도달시간에 미치는 영향은 작다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Korean economic and industrial structure has been seperated into some areas with the trend of the change to the bloc system of international economy: the Gyeongin including the capital area, the Middle-West, the South-West, the South-East, and the Eastern sea areas. Mokpo port has played a major role as the central one of the South-West area and the entrance of Yeong-san river of Jeonnam province gate. Some studies has been done on the Mokpo port, but there is no research of the analytical approach about it. In this paper, we analyze the data of 1994's on the domestic and oceangoing piers in the Mokpo port and simulate the transportation process of it through a queueing model. The results of the simulation are summarized as follows: The average arrival interval of the domestic vessel is 6.034 hours. The average service time and the berth utility rate are 24.056 hours and over 100%, respectively. The average arrival interval of the oceangoing vessel is 34.48 hours. The average service time and the berth utility rate are 120.04 hours and the 34.91%, respectively. The proposal to improving of the Mokpo port as follows: It is desirable to extend the capacity of domestic pier to about 50% for the optimal utility rate of 70% and in the case of oceangoing pier to be increase 65% of the vessel capacity for the optimal utility rate of 70%.

네트워크 코딩은 소스의 패킷이 최종 목적지로 전송되는 데 있어 총 전송 횟수를 줄여 전체 네트워크 측면에서 성능(throughput)의 이득이 있기 때문에 현재 매우 각광받고 있는 무선 기술 중 하나이다. 하지만 소스의 패킷을 최종 목적지까지 보내는데 거치게 되는 중간의 코딩 노드가 다른 소스의 패킷을 네트워크 코딩(XOR)하는 데 필요로 하는 시간(processing delay)과 다른 패킷이 전송될 때까지 해당 패킷이 큐에서 기다려야 하는 시간(queuing delay)이 추가적으로 필요하기 때문에 delay측면에서 손해를 볼 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이런 queuing delay가 각 소스에서 발생한 패킷들의 arrival rate에 매우 의존적임을 분석한다. 또한 패킷 arrival rate에 따른 동적인 트래픽 상태에서 네트워크 코딩을 사용하지 않을 때(DCF without XOR)와 사용할 때(DCF with XOR)를 지연 시간 분석을 통해 비교한다.

이동통신 환경에서 하향링크 스케줄링 기법은 무선 시스템의 성능을 크게 좌우할 정도로 매우 중요하다. 그러나 무선 시스템에서 가장 잘 알려진 기존의 비례 공평성 (Proportional Fairness: PF) 스케줄링 기법은 사용자 별 무선 채널 품질만을 고려하여 자원을 할당하기 때문에 전송해야할 하향 트래픽 유입량이 많은 사용자의 경우 원활한 전송이 불가능하다. 이를 해결하기위해 전송 대기 큐의 크기를 고려하여 자원을 할당하게 될 경우 전송 대기 큐의 누적으로 인해 낮은 채널 품질을 갖는 사용자에게 자원 할당이 집중되어 전체 시스템 전송률을 저하시킨다. 이에 본 논문에서는 하향 트래픽 유입량을 추가적으로 고려하여 기존 PF 스케줄링 알고리즘을 확장함으로써 낮은 채널 품질을 갖는 사용자의 전송이 지연되는 기존 PF 스케줄링 알고리즘의 문제점을 해결하는 동시에 이로 인해 발생할 수 있는 전체 시스템 전송률 저하 문제를 최소화 할 수 있는 트래픽 유입량 기반 하향링크 스케줄링 알고리즘을 제안한다. 모의실험을 통하여 제안한 알고리즘이 기존 스케줄링 알고리즘의 문제점을 해결하고 높은 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

Background: The phenomenon known as the "weekend effect" impacts various medical disciplines. We compared outcomes between regular hours and off hours to investigate the presence of the weekend effect in extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). Methods: Between January 2018 and December 2020, 159 patients at our center were treated with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for cardiac arrest. We assessed the time required for ECMO preparation, the rate of successful weaning, and the rate of in-hospital mortality. These factors were compared among regular hours ("daytime": weekdays from 7:00 AM-7:00 PM), off hours on weekdays ("nighttime": weekdays from 7:00 PM-7:00 AM), and off hours on weekends and holidays ("weekend": Fridays at 7:00 PM to Mondays at 7:00 AM). Results: The time from the recognition of cardiac arrest to the arrival of the ECMO team was shortest for the daytime group and longest for those treated over the weekend (daytime, 10.0 minutes; nighttime, 12.5 minutes; weekend, 15.0 minutes; p=0.064). The time from the ECMO team's arrival to ECMO initiation was shortest for the daytime and longest for the nighttime group (daytime, 13.0 minutes; nighttime, 18.5 minutes; weekend, 14.0 minutes; p=0.028). No significant difference was observed in the rate of successful ECMO weaning (daytime, 48.3%; nighttime, 39.5%; weekend, 36.1%; p=0.375). Conclusion: In situations involving CPR, the time to arrival of the ECMO team was longer during off hours. Furthermore, ECMO insertion required more time at night than during the other periods. These findings warrant specific training in decision-making and emergent ECMO insertion.
