Traffic management is a highly beneficial mechanism for satisfying quality-of-service requirements and overcoming the resource scarcity problems in networks. This paper introduces an optimal connection admission control mechanism to decrease the packet loss ratio and end-to-end delay in cognitive radio sensor networks (CRSNs). This mechanism admits data flows based on the value of information sent by the sensor nodes, the network state, and the estimated required resources of the data flows. The number of required channels of each data flow is estimated using a proposed formula that is inspired by a graph coloring approach. The proposed admission control mechanism is formulated as a semi-Markov decision process and a linear programming problem is derived to obtain the optimal admission control policy for obtaining the maximum reward. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed mechanism outperforms a recently proposed admission control mechanism in CRSNs.

Event-driven communication protocols such as CAN(Controller Area Network) have inherent packet delays due to the contention process for the use of network medium. These delays are stochastic in nature because most packets arrive at random time instants. The stochastic property of the delay adversely influences the control system's performance in terms of stability, responsiveness and steady-state error. Another problem for safety-critical application such as brake-by-wire systems is the reliability of the communication modules that can fail abruptly. This paper deals with two methods to overcome the above problems : (i) scheduling method that can maintain packet delays under some acceptable level, and (ii) redundancy management of communication modules that prescribes dual-redundancy modules' behavior when one of them fails.

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a rare progressive liver disease characterized by cholestasis and bile duct fibrosis, has no accepted, effective therapy known to delay or arrest its progression. We report a 15 year old female patient diagnosed with PSC and moderate chronic active ulcerative colitis (UC) who achieved normalization of her liver enzymes and bile ducts, and resolution of her UC symptoms with colonic mucosal healing, after treatment with a single drug therapy of the antibiotic oral vancomycin. We postulate that the oral vancomycin may be acting both as an antibiotic by altering the intestinal microbiome and as an immunomodulator. Oral vancomycin may be a promising treatment for PSC that needs to be further studied in randomized trials.

Breast cancer bone metastasis causing severe morbidity is commonly encountered in daily clinical practice. It causes pain, pathologic fractures, spinal cord and other nerve compression syndromes and life threatening hypercalcemia. Breast cancer metastasizes to bone through complicated steps in which numerous molecules play roles. Metastatic cells disrupt normal bone turnover and create a vicious cycle to which treatment efforts should be directed. Bisphosphonates have been used safely for more than two decades. As a group they delay time to first skeletal related event and reduce pain, but do not prevent development of bone metastasis in patients with no bone metastasis, and also do not prolong survival. The receptor activator for nuclear factor ${\kappa}B$ ligand inhibitor denosumab delays time to first skeletal related event and reduces the skeletal morbidity rate. Radionuclides are another treatment option for bone pain. New targeted therapies and radionuclides are still under investigation. In this review we will focus on mechanisms of bone metastasis and its medical treatment in breast cancer patients.

The right half plane (RHP) zeros may cause severe problems, such as undershoots, oscillations and time delay in the transient response of the systems. In this paper, we formulate a linear quadratic type problem to deal with the effects of the RHP zeros in the nonminimum phase systems. Based on the LQ formulation, this paper shows the trade-off relation between undershoot and rising time performances in nonminimum phase systems by using a new performance index which consists of new state and tracking error. And performances of the proposed method are shown via computer simulations.

In this paper, a performance evaluation model of the Fat-Tree network with the multiple-buffered crossbar switches is proposed and examined. Buffered switch technique is well known to solve the data collision problem in the switch network The proposed evaluation model is developed by investigating the transfer patterns of data packets in a switch with output-buffers. Steady state probability concept is used to simplify the analyzing processes. Two important parameters of the network performance, throughput and delay, are then evaluated. To validate the proposed analysis model, the simulation is carried out on the various sizes of Fat-tree networks that use the multiple a$\times$b buffered crossbar switches. It is observed that both analysis and simulation results are match closely.

본 논문에서는 상태와 제어입력에 시간지연을 가지는 이산 불확실성 시스템의 견실 H/sub ∞/ 상태궤환 제어기 설계문제를 다룬다. 동일한 제어기에 대해서, 파라미터 불확실성을 가지는 시간지연 시스템이 자승적 안정성(quadratic stability)과 폐루프 시스템의 H/sub ∞/ 노옴의 한계를 유지하면서 파라미터 불확실성이 없는 등가의 시스템으로 변형된다. 그리고 주어진 이산 불확실성 시간지연 시스템의 견실 H/sub ∞/ 상태궤환 제어기가 존재할 충분조건과 제어기 설계 알고리듬을 제시한다. 또한 변수치환과 Schur 여수(complement) 정리를 이용하면 구한 충분조건은 LMI(linear matrix inequality) 형태로 쓸 수 있다. 예제를 통하여 제시한 결과의 타당성을 보인다.

The proposed scheme minimizes the Idle time under the residual energy of the sensor node to adjust the Sleep-Wakeup period and minimize unnecessary energy consumption. It is The proposed scheme minimizes the Idle time under the residual energy of the sensor node to adjust the Sleep-Wakeup period and minimize unnecessary energy consumption. It is an important process to control the Application Packet Framework including the PHY and the MAC layer at each node's Idle time with the Idle time mechanism state before the proposed function is executed. The Current Control Level of the Report Attribute is fixed at one sending / receiving node where power consumption can occur, by changing Sleep-Wakeup time, the low power consumption efficiency was improved while satisfying the transmission requirement of the given delay time constraint.
