셀룰러 망 어플리케이션(Cellular Network Application)은 빠르게 진보되어 가고 있으며, 이러한 어플리케이션들은 Base Station(BS)과 Mobile Switching Center(MSC) 사이에서 빠르고 효과적인 전송 방법을 요구한다. 이러한 요구를 해결하는 방법중의 하나가 ATM 링크를 사용하는 것이다. 일반적으로 셀룰러 어플리케이션에서는 낮은 데이터 전송률과 작은 크기의 패킷을 사용하는 특성 때문에, 작은 크기의 패킷이 하나의 ATM 셀에 의해 전송된다면 상당한 양의 링크 대역폭이 손실된다. 이러한 셀룰러 어플리케이션과 낮은 데이터 전송률을 가지는 어플리케이션의 효과적인 수행을 위하여, 새로운 형식의 ATM Adaptation Layer인 AAL Type 2가 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 AAL Type 2의 원리와 더불어 새로운 AAL 방식의 근간을 형성하는 다른 대안 방법들에 대하여 서술하였다. AAL Type 2의 성능에 대한 실험은 패킷 지연(delay)과 ATM 셀 사용 효율성의 관점에서 이루어졌다. 이러한 어플리케이션에서는 패킷길이가 가변적이기 때문에, AAL Type 2에서 실행되는 Fair Queueing 알고리즘의 효과와 가변길이의 패킷을 공정하게 서비스하는 문제가 논의되었다.

In heterogeneous networks (HetNets), energy saving is vital for a sustainable network development. Many techniques, such as spectrum allocation, network planning, etc., are used to improve the network energy efficiency (EE). In this paper, micro BSs utilizing cell range expansion (CRE) and spectrum allocation are considered in multi-channel heterogeneous networks to improve EE. Hotspot region is assumed to be covered by micro BSs which can ensure that the hotspot capacity is greater than the average demand of hotspot users. The expressions of network energy efficiency are derived under shared, orthogonal and hybrid subchannel allocation schemes, respectively. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used to solve the optimal ratio of subchannel allocation in orthogonal and hybrid schemes. Based on the results of the optimal analysis, we propose three service control strategies on the basis of large-scale user behaviors, i.e., adjust micro cell rang expansion (AmCRE), adjust micro BSs density (AmBD) and adjust micro BSs transmit power (AmBTP). Both theoretical and simulation results show that using shared subchannel allocation scheme in AmBD strategies can obtain maximal EE with a very small area ratio. Using orthogonal subchannel allocation scheme in AmCRE strategies can obtain maximal EE when area ratio is larger. Using hybrid subchannel allocation scheme in AmCRE strategies can obtain maximal EE when area ratio is large enough. No matter which service control strategy is used, orthogonal spectrum scheme can obtain the maximal hotspot user rates.

ATM/AAL2는 패킷의 길이가 작은 지연 민감성 응용 서비스의 효율적인 전송을 위하여 표준화된 전송 방식으로 UMTS망의 Node-B와 RNC사이의 $I_{ub}$ 인터페이스에서 음성 및 데이터 트래픽을 전송하기 위하여 사용되고 있다. AAL2의 성능을 분석하기 위하여 단대단으로 UMTS 망의 성능을 분석할 수 있는 시뮬레이터를 개발하였으며 UTRAN에서 음성 및 데이터 서비스에 따른 시뮬레이션을 실행하였다. 결과로 $I_{ub}$ 인터페이스에서 AAL2 다중화의 이득은 Node-B에서 최대 17%정도 높으며 데이터 트래픽의 경우 음성 트래픽에 비하여 대역이득이 적다는 것을 발견하였다. 또한 집선기에서 대역이득은 트래픽의 양이 증가할수록 감소하는 결과를 볼 수 있었다.

The gut microbiota, an intricate community of bacteria residing in the gastrointestinal system, assumes a pivotal role in various physiological processes. Beyond its function in food breakdown and nutrient absorption, gut microbiota exerts a profound influence on immune and metabolic modulation by producing diverse gut microbiota-generated metabolites (GMGMs). These small molecules hold potential to impact host health via multiple pathways, which exhibit remarkable diversity, and have gained increasing attention in recent studies. Here, we elucidate the intricate implications and significant impacts of four specific metabolites, Urolithin A (UA), equol, Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), and imidazole propionate, in shaping human health. Meanwhile, we also look into the advanced research on GMGMs, which demonstrate promising curative effects and hold great potential for further clinical therapies. Notably, the emergence of positive outcomes from clinical trials involving GMGMs, typified by UA, emphasizes their promising prospects in the pursuit of improved health and longevity. Collectively, the multifaceted impacts of GMGMs present intriguing avenues for future research and therapeutic interventions.

The advantages of using analogue optical networks for delivering radio signals from a central location to many remote antenna sites have been recognized. In a telecommnications context, radio signals may be for fixed radio access, cordless or mobile networks, but the same principles apply. By making use of the high bandwidth, low loss characteristics of optical fiber, all high frequency and signal processing functions can be performed centrally and signals can then be transported over the optical network directly at the carrier frequency. The remote sites then become very simple, requiring only optoelectronic conversion, filtering and linear amplification. This shifting of the complex functionality away from the remote site allow cheap, reliable, small and light-weight radio access points with low power consumption to be deployed. In this paper, we show that an electroabsorption modulation(EAM) may be used as a single component in such a radio access point, as a passive transceiver for small-sized cell(picocells).

Activating and inhibitory cell surface receptors play important roles in regulation of immune responses. Recent progress has demonstrated that many inhibitory receptors pair with activating, as well as inhibitory, isoforms, both of whose genes are located in small clusters on a chromosome. We and others identified paired activating and inhibitory immunoglobulin-like receptors, designated myeloid-associated immunoglobulin-like receptors (MAIR) (CD300). MAIR is a multigene family consisting of nine genes on a small segment of mouse chromosome 11. MAIR family receptors are preferentially expressed on myeloid cells, including macrophages, dendritic cells, granulocytes, and bone-marrow-derived cultured mast cells, and a subset of B cells and regulate activation of these cells. Thus, MAIR plays an important role in innate immunity mediated by myeloid cells.

A femtocell is a small cellular base station, typically designed for use in a home or small business. The random deployment of a femtocell has a critical effect on the performance of a macrocell network due to co-channel interference. Utilizing the advantage of a multiple-input multiple-output system, each femto base station (FBS) is able to form a cluster and generates a precoding matrix, which is a modified version of conventional single-cell block diagonalization, in a cooperative manner. Since interference from clustered-FBSs located at the nearby macro user equipment (MUE) is the dominant interference contributor to the coexisting networks, each cluster generates a precoding matrix considering the effects of interference on nearby MUEs. Through simulation, we verify that the proposed algorithm shows better performance respective to both MUE and femto user equipment, in terms of capacity.

PAN과 연동을 위하여 사용자의 위치나 네트워크 상황에 맞추어 중단 없는 최선의 서비스를 지원할 수 있는 서비스/연결 제어 방식 단말기 제어 방식, 그리고 확장된 미들웨어에 대한 연구가 절실하다. 본 논문에서는 휴대 게이트웨이와 소형 단말로 구성된 PAN을 흠과 연결하여 가정내외 네트워크가 통합된 가상 흠 네트워크를 구성함으로써, 언제 어디서나 편리한 가상 흠 서비스를 이용하기 위해 필요한 기능들을 비교 분석하였고, 기존의 흠 게이트웨이나 홈 서버에서 추가 되어야 할 내용별로 제안 하였다.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of naturally occurring small non-coding RNAs of about 22 nucleotides that have recently emerged as important regulators of gene expression at the posttranscriptional level. Recent studies provided clear evidence that microRNAs are abundant in the lung, liver and kidney and modulate a diverse spectrum of their functions. Moreover, a large number of studies have reported links between alterations of miRNA homeostasis and pathological conditions such as infectious diseases, sickle cell disease and endometrium diseases as well as lung, liver and kidney diseases. As a consequence of extensive participation of miRNAs in normal functions, alteration and/or abnormalities in miRNAs should have importance in human diseases. Beside their important roles in patterning and development, miRNAs also orchestrated responses to pathogen infections. Particularly, emerging evidence indicates that viruses use their own miRNAs to manipulate both cellular and viral gene expression. Furthermore, viral infection can exert a profound impact on the host cellular miRNA expression profile, and several RNA viruses have been reported to interact directly with cellular miRNAs and/or to use these miRNAs to augment their replication potential. Here I briefly summarize the newly discovered roles of miRNAs in various human diseases including infectious diseases, sickle cell disease and enodmetrium diseases as well as lung, liver and kidney diseases.
