The AODV protocol uses many RREQ messages and one RREP message in the path-discovery process. This protocol has only one metric, the number of hops. Although it is simple, this protocol is not efficient. To avoid this problem, we propose a new AODV with two auxiliary metrics (AuM-2-AODV). The AuM-2-AODV protocol tries multiple route replies, which reduces the chance of path failure and helps the network obtain a better data rate. It has two auxiliary metrics, the remaining energy of its nodes and the number of HELLO messages received at the nodes. With these two metrics, the reliable path from the source node to the destination node will be chosen. In this paper, the performance of the AuM-2-AODV is evaluated using the NS-3 simulator. The performance results show that AuM-2-AODV provides greater throughput and packet delivery ratio by 20% and up to 50% and about 100% in some cases, respectively, than previous protocols.

독일 원자력 발전소에서는 포괄적인 방화 연구의 한 부분으로써 방화에 관한 분석과 그것을 최적화 할 수 있는 확률론적 방법을 개발하였다. 그 일반적인 흐름을 살펴보면, 미국의 화재 위험성 분석의 방법을 따랐으며, 세밀한 부분에서는 약간의 수정을 한 것이다. 먼저, 선정된 공장지역에서의 화재 사건 경로(fire event tree)는 화재가 발생했을 때, 방화 조치와 안전시스템을 능 수동적으로 고려해서 설정된다. 방화 조치와 안전 시스템에 있어서의 실패 모델(failure model)은 발화 후 시간과 화재 영향과 같은 일상적인 변수와 관련해서 생긴다. 이러한 관련성은 일차(first-order) 시스템의 신뢰성 이론을 적절히 이용해서 화재 사건 경로를 분석할 때 알 수 있다. 더불어 화재가 발생했을 떠 방화 시스템의 실패 빈도, event paths의 상대적인 비중, 이러한 path내에서의 방화 조치 그리고 실패모델의 변수 등은 모두 시간 함수로 계산된다. 이러한 자료에 근거를 두고, 방화의 최적화는 주로 event path, 방화조치와 비중이 가장 큰 변수를 수정함으로써 가능하게 된다. 이것은 독일의 1300 MW PWR reference plant를 예를 들어서 증명될 것이다. 또한 충고를 받아들여서 수정을 하는 것은 발전소 직원과 화재 피해의 위험성을 줄일 수 있다는 것을 보여주고 있다.

Mobile Sensor Networks (MSN) is composed of a distributed collection of mobile sensor nodes, each of which has sensing, computation, communication and locomotion capabilities. Since the routing path can be broken when some nodes on the path move to other position, MSN may have a high rate of communication failure. So, MSN has to provide a means for low-cost and low-power routing to support mobility of sensor nodes. In this paper, a limited flooding scheme for routing in MSN is proposed to allow efficient energy utilization without requiring any complicated tasks for path maintenance.

The feature of 6LoWPAN is the capability of the dynamic assignment of 16bit short addresses. By using this dynamically assigned short address, a hierarchical routing is employed. In case of node failure, this hierarchical routing don't support a technique for path recovery. So, this paper proposes the path recovery technique for hierarchical routing over 6LoWPAN.

This paper presents an overview of automated robotic system for skull drilling, which is performed to access for some neurosurgical interventions, such as brain tumor resection. Currently surgeons use automatic-releasing cranial perforators. The drilling procedure must be performed very carefully to avoid penetration of brain nerve structures; however failure cases are reported. The presented prototype system utilizes both preoperative and intraoperative information. Preoperative CT image is used for robot path planning. A NeuroMate robot with a six-DOF force sensor at the end effector is used for intraoperative operation. Intraoperative cutting force from the force sensor is the key information to revise an initial registration and preoperative path plans. Some possibilities are verified by path simulation but cadaver experiments are required for validation of this prototype.

A signal path control switch has been designed and implemented with AT&T 0.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS ORCA FPGA. This device controls the path of digital signals in SDH-based transmission system. The proposed switch is suitable for self-healing operation which protects against transmission network failure. The self-healing operation of the switch is effectively done by the reconfigurable information stored in the registers of the switch. This device consists of eight subparts such west-east transmitting parts, west-east receiving parts, add-drop control parts, AIS control Part, and CPU interface part. The device is capable to a ring network as well as a linear network.

The key feature of GMPLS is the provision of network resources and the automatic set-up of a path. And the mechanism of protection and restoration of a path is presented when network component fails. This paper suggests CR-LDP Static Detour Mechanism and Dynamic Detour Mechanism. CR-LDP Detours are a mechanism to set up detour paths automatically at every node to protect working path. Hence suggested mechanism performance is compared with existing mechanisms by computer simulation.

A probabilistic model for the failure in a homogeneous soil slope is presented. The Safety of the slope is measured through its probability of failure rather than the customary factor of safety. The safety margin of slope failure is assumed to follow a normal distribution. Sources of uncertainties affecting characterization of soil property in a homogeneous soil layer include inherent spatial variability., estimation error from insufficient samples, and measurement errors. Uncertainties of the shear strength-along potential failure surface are expressed by one-dimensional random field models. The rupture surface, created at toe of a soil slope, has been considered to propagate towards the boundary along a path following an exponential (log-spiral) law. Having derived the statistical characteristics of the rupture surface and of the forces which act along it, the probability of failure of the slope was found. Finally the developed procedure has been applied in a case study to yield the reliability of a soil slope.

Cu/PET composite films are widely used in a variety of wearable electronics. Lifetime of the electronics is determined by adhesion between the Cu film and the PET substrate. The formation of an anisotropic nanostructure on the PET surface by surface modification can enhance Cu/PET interfacial adhesion. The shape and size of the anisotropic nanostructures of the PET surface can be controlled by varying the surface modification conditions. In this work, the effect of Cu/PET interface nanostructures on the failure mechanism of a Cu/PET flexible composite film is studied. From observation of the morphologies of the anisotropic nanostructures on plasma-treated PET surfaces, and cross-sections and surfaces of the fractured specimens, the Cu/PET interface area and nanostructure width are analyzed and the failure mechanism of the Cu/PET film is investigated. It is found that the failure mechanism of the Cu/PET flexible composite film depends on the shape and size of the plasmatreated PET surface nanostructures. Cu/PET interface nanostructures with maximal peel strength exhibit multiple craze-crack propagation behavior, while smaller or larger interface nanostructures exhibit single-path craze-crack propagation behavior.

The presence of defects in nature changes the physical parameters of the rock. In this paper, by studying the rock-like specimens with conjugated fractures, the horizontal angle and length are changed, and the physical parameters and failure modes of the specimens under uniaxial compression test are analyzed and compared with the results of simulation analysis. The experimental results show that the peak strength and failure mode of the rock-like specimens are closely related to the horizontal angle. When the horizontal angle is $45^{\circ}$, the maximum value is reached and the tensile failure mode is obtained. The fracture length affects the germination and propagation path of the cracks. It is of great significance to study the failure modes and mechanical properties of conjugated fracture rock-like specimens to guide the support of fractured rock on site.
