Security system of wireless network take on importance as use of wireless network increases. Detection and opposition about that is difficult even if attack happens because MANET is composed of only moving node. And it is difficult that existing security system is applied as it is because of migratory nodes. Therefore, system is protected from malicious attack of intruder in this environment and it has to correspond to attack immediately. In this paper, we propose intrusion detection system using cluster head in order to detect malicious attack and use resources efficiently. we used method that gathering of rules is defined and it judges whether it corresponds or not to detect intrusion more exactly. In order to evaluate performance of proposed method, we used blackhole, message negligence, jamming attack.

This paper proposes a new visualization method based on cloud technique which uses internal relationship of user correlation and external relation of social network to visualize user relationship hierarchy. The visualization method of this paper can well represent user-focused relationship hierarchy on social networks by a correlation matrix. The importance of a access node reflects into user relationship hierarchy by exploiting external relation of social network. Users of the method can well understand user relationships on account of representing user relationship hierarchy from social networks. In addition, the method use hadoop and hive for distribution storing and parallel processing which the result of calculation visualizes hierarchy graph using D3.

In this paper, we focus on the per-flow throughput analysis of IEEE 802.11 multi-hop ad hoc networks. The importance of an accurate saturation throughput model lies in establishing the theoretical foundation for effective protocol performance improvements. We argue that the challenge in modeling the per-flow throughput in IEEE 802.11 multi-hop ad hoc networks lies in the analysis of the freezing process and probability of collisions. We first classify collisions occurring in the whole transmission process into instantaneous collisions and persistent collisions. Then we present a four-dimensional Markov chain model based on the notion of the fixed length channel slot to model the Binary Exponential Backoff (BEB) algorithm performed by a tagged node. We further adopt a continuous time Markov model to analyze the freezing process. Through an iterative way, we derive the per-flow throughput of the network. Finally, we validate the accuracy of our model by comparing the analytical results with that obtained by simulations.

This paper analyzes the tree expansion for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detection in the viewpoint of hardware implementation. The tree expansion is to calculate path metrics of child nodes performed in every visit to a node while traversing the detection tree. Accordingly, the tree-expansion unit (TEU), which is responsible for such a task, has been an essential component in a MIMO detector. Despite the paramount importance, the analyses on the TEUs in the literature are not thorough enough. Accordingly, we further investigate the hardware complexity of the TEUs to suggest a guideline for selection. In this paper, we focus on a pair of major ways to implement the TEU: 1) a full parallel realization; 2) a transformation of the formulae followed by common subexpression elimination (CSE). For a logical comparison, the numbers of multipliers and adders are first enumerated. To evaluate them in a more practical manner, the TEUs are implemented in a 65-nm CMOS process, and their propagation delays, gate counts, and power consumptions were measured explicitly. Considering the target specification of a MIMO system and the implementation results comprehensively, one can choose which architecture to adopt in realizing a detector.

This work addresses a three-dimensional nonlinear structural analysis of the constructive phases of a cable-stayed segmental concrete bridge using The Finite Element Method through ANSYS, version 14.5. New subroutines have been added to ANSYS via its UPF customization tool to implement viscoelastoplastic constitutive equations with cracking capability to model concrete's structural behavior. This numerical implementation allowed the use of three-dimensional twenty-node quadratic elements (SOLID186) with the Element-Embedded Rebar model option (REINF264), conducting to a fast and efficient solution. These advantages are of fundamental importance when large structures, such as bridges, are modeled, since an increasing number of finite elements is demanded. After validating the subroutines, the bridge located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and known as "Ponte do Saber" (Bridge of Knowledge, in Portuguese), has been numerically modeled, simulating each of the constructive phases of the bridge. Additionally, the data obtained numerically is compared with the field data collected from monitoring conducted during the construction of the bridge, showing good agreement.

상수도관망은 사용자에게 고품질의 물을 안정적으로 공급하는 것을 목적으로 하며, 이를 평가하기 위한 지표 중 하나로 압력을 활용한다. 최근 스마트 센서의 설치가 확장됨에 따라 기계학습기법을 이용한 실시간 데이터 기반의 분석이 활발하다. 따라서 어디에서 데이터를 수집하느냐에 대한 센서 위치 결정이 중요하다. 본 연구는 eXtreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost) 모델을 활용하여 대규모 상수도관망 내 센서 위치를 최적화하는 방법론을 제안한다. XGBoost 모델은 여러 의사결정 나무(decision tree)를 활용하는 앙상블(ensemble) 모델이며, 오차에 따른 가중치를 부여하여 성능을 향상시키는 부스팅(boosting) 방식을 이용한다. 이는 분산 및 병렬 처리가 가능해 메모리리소스를 최적으로 사용하고, 학습 속도가 빠르며 결측치에 대한 전처리 과정을 모델 내에 포함하고 있다는 장점이 있다. 모델 구현을 위한 독립 변수 결정을 위해 압력 데이터의 변동성 및 평균압력 값을 고려하여 상수도관망을 대표하는 중요 절점(critical node)를 선정한다. 중요 절점의 압력 값을 예측하는 XGBoost 모델을 구축하고 모델의 성능과 요인 중요도(feature importance) 값을 고려하여 센서의 최적 위치를 선정한다. 이러한 방법론을 기반으로 상수도관망의 특성에 따른 경향성을 파악하기 위해 다양한 형태(예를 들어, 망형, 가지형)와 구성 절점의 수를 변화시키며 결과를 분석한다. 본 연구에서 구축한 XGBoost 모델은 추가적인 전처리 과정을 최소화하며 대규모 관망에 간편하게 사용할 수 있어 추후 다양한 입출력 데이터의 조합을 통해 센서 위치 외에도 상수도관망에서의 성능 최적화에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The importance of big data analytics has become apparent with the increasing volume of data on the Internet. The amount of data will increase even more with the widespread use of Internet of Things (IoT). One of the most important application areas of the IoT is healthcare. This study introduces new real-time data analytics architecture for an IoT-based smart healthcare system, which consists of a wireless sensor network and a radio-frequency identification technology in a vertical domain. The proposed platform also includes high-performance data analytics tools, such as Kafka, Spark, MongoDB, and NodeJS, in a horizontal domain. To investigate the performance of the system developed, a diagnosis of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome by logistic regression is discussed. The results show that the proposed IoT data analytics system can successfully process health data in real-time with an accuracy rate of 95% and it can handle large volumes of data. The developed system also communicates with a riverbed modeler using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to model any IoT-enabling technology. Therefore, the proposed architecture can be used as a time-saving experimental environment for any IoT-based system.

This meta-analysis examined the surgical management of older patients (>80 years) with gastric cancer, who were often excluded from randomized controlled trials. We analyzed 23 retrospective cohort studies involving 18,372 patients and found that older patients had a higher in-hospital mortality rate (relative risk [RR], 3.23; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.46-7.17; P<0.01) and more post-operative complications (RR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.19-1.56; P<0.01) than did younger patients. However, the surgical complications were similar between the two groups. Older patients were more likely to undergo less extensive lymph node dissection and longer hospital stays. Although older patients had statistically significant post-operative medical complications, they were not deprived of surgery for gastric cancer. The comorbidities and potential risks of post-operative complications should be carefully evaluated in older patients, highlighting the importance of careful patient selection. Overall, this meta-analysis provides recommendations for the surgical management of older patients with gastric cancer. Careful patient selection and evaluation of comorbidities should be performed to minimize the risk of post-operative complications in older patients, while recognizing that they should not be deprived of surgery for gastric cancer.
