In this paper we propose a novel QoE control scheme based on Service Level Agreement (SLA) which enables to guarantee the user perceived service quality of various high-quality mobile multimedia services such as mobile video streaming and real-time network games to a certain level. For this purpose, a SLA control structure is adopted to provision QoE, and a novel resource management scheme gets coupled with this control structure. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme can decrease the average delay and increase the total throughput by adjusting SLA.

A method to test thin-walled tubes by guided ultrasonic wave is reported. The principle is that applicate two types of axially symmetric ultrasonic tube modes and "longitudinal" modes with particle displacement, which is coupled in axial and radial directions for transverse failures and torsional modes, oscillating in the circumferential direction only, for longitudinal failures. Both types of modes propagate along the tube in the axial direction. Therefore, a pulse-echo technique is possible. The pulses are excited and received at one end of the tube without contact electro-dynamic transducers. As soon as the tubes is put into a transducer coil at one end, the test of the whole tube can be accomplished in a few milliseconds. It is not necessary to rotate and transport the tubes during the test.

This paper establish a high concentration ratio approximation of linear elastic properties of materials with periodic microstructure with cubic inclusions. The approximation is derived using first few terms of power series expansion of the solution of the equivalent eigenstrain problem with a homogeneous eigenstrain approximation. Viability of the approximation at high concentration ratios is proved by comparison with a numerical solution of the homogenization problem. To this end some theoretical result of symmetry properties of the homogenization problem are given. Using these results efficient numerical computation on a reduced computational domain is presented.

This paper presents a graphics accelerator for fast image generation. The accelarator has three major functional blocks: linear interpolator, multipliers and Edgee Painting Tree. Linear interpolator with coupled binary tree structure interpolates functional values of two end points. Two multipliers compute input values of interpolator in parallel. Mask pattern which removes out invalid data is generated by Edge Painting Tree. The proposed architecture in this paper is responsible for 64 pixels and can process about 5,900 10x10polygons per second.

In this paper, a numerical comparison of predictions by limit equilibrium analysis and finite difference analysis is presented for slope/soil-nail system. Special attention is given to the coupled analysis based on the explicit-finite-difference code, FLAC 2D. To this end, an internal routine (FISH) was developed to calculate a factor of safety for a soil nail slope according to shear strength reduction method. The case of coupled analyses was performed for soil nails in slope in which the soil nails response and slope stability are considered simultaneously. In this study, by using these methods, the failure surfaces and factors of safety were compared and analyzed in several cases, such as toe, middle and top of the slope, respectively. Furthermore, the coupled method based on shear strength reduction method was verified by the comparison with other analysis results.

In eukaryotic cells, a key RNA processing step to generate mature mRNA is the coupled reaction for cleavage and polyadenylation (CPA) at the 3' end of individual transcripts. Many transcripts are alternatively polyadenylated (APA) to produce mRNAs with different 3' ends that may either alter protein coding sequence (CDS-APA) or create different lengths of 3'UTR (tandem-APA). As the CPA reaction is intimately associated with transcriptional termination, it has been widely assumed that APA is regulated cotranscriptionally. Isoforms terminated at different regions may have distinct RNA stability under different conditions, thus altering the ratio of APA isoforms. Such differential impacts on different isoforms have been considered as post-transcriptional APA, but strictly speaking, this can only be considered "apparent" APA, as the choice is not made during the CPA reaction. Interestingly, a recent study reveals sequential APA as a new mechanism for post-transcriptional APA. This minireview will focus on this new mechanism to provide insights into various documented regulatory paradigms.

Based on the multimode fiber taper, a mode size converter for effective optical beam coupling between laser and optical fiber or between the two different optical fibers has been proposed and demonstrated. The device has a multimode input end and a single mode output end. The influence of various parameters, including device structure and launching conditions, on the coupling efficiency has been theoretically analyzed. The theoretical results revealed that the gaussian beam can be coupled into a single mode fiber without considerable insertion loss. The proposed multimode fiber taper has been fabricated using heating and pulling equipment incorporating two micro-torches. Experimental results showed that an optical beam with $50\;{\mu}m$ of large beam size was effectively coupled into single mode fiber through the multimode fiber taper. The insertion loss of the device was 1.3 dB.

In this paper, a Ka-band LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramic) narrow bandpass filter (BPF) is firstly presented. This BPF shows very narrow 3dB fractional bandwidth of 4.5 ％ centered at 28.7㎓. The advantages of multi-layered LTCC technology such as high integration and vertical stacking capabilities were employed to design three-dimensional interdigital end-coupled embedded microstrip narrow BPF. The difficulties in controlling the precise distance between two adjacent resonators in LTCC end-coupled BPF were overcome by locating the resonators on different layers. The measured insertion loss is 3dB at 28.7㎓, pass band is from 27.9 ㎓ to 29.2 ㎓, and the return loss in the pass band is less than 10 dB.

The overall consumption of meat is increasing as the level of national income increases. The end weight is a trait closely associated with dressed meat. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) is an effective method of analyzing genetic variation and gene identification associated with a number of natural alternative traits because it can detect variations. So this paper did a GWAS analysis to identity the location on the genome related to the end weight in purebred landrace pigs and to explore the relevant candidate gene. This study identified a significant single nucleotide poly morphism (SNP) marker in chromosome 6 (ASGA0029422, $p=1.22{\times}10^{-6}$). Adhesion G protein-coupled receptor L2 (ADGRL2) was found to be the candidate gene at the identified SNP marker location. ADGRL2 genes have been found to be associated with cell development in relation to the external and internal environment of a cell. In addition, genotype and statistical analyses were done on nine variations on the exon of ADGRL2. The results show that the SNP marker (ASGA0029422, $p=1.32{\times}10^{-6}$) was significant, but the significance of the nine variations on the ADGRL2 exon was not verified. However, by performing further experiments and functional studies on other SNPs showing possible genetic ADGRL-Exon mutations, objects with high associations of high-end weights can be selected.

Most of shear wall structures require openings in shear walls and thus shear walls are linked by floor slabs or coupling beams resulting in the coupled shear wall structures. When these structures are subjected to seismic excitations, excessive shear forces are induced in coupling beams. Accordingly, brittle failure of coupling beams may occur or shear walls may yield first. To avoid this problem, damping devices can be installed in coupling beams. It can increase the vibration control effect and improve the seismic resistance performance of the coupled shear wall structure by avoiding stress concentration and the brittle failure of coupling beams. Based on this background research, an LRB (lead rubber bearing) was introduced in the middle of the coupling beam in this study and the authors investigated the seismic response control effect and stress distribution of the proposed system. To this end, a modeling technique that can effectively predict the structural behavior of coupled shear wall structures has been proposed. With this proposed technique, time history analyses of the example coupled shear wall structure subjected to seismic excitation were performed and the vibration control effects of the seismic responses were investigated.
