In vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) networks, where selfishness degrades node activity, countermeasures for collaboration enforcement must be provided to enable application of a sage and efficient network environment. Because vehicular networks feature both high mobility and various topologies, selfish behavior judgment and establishment of a stable routing protocol become intensely challenging. In this paper, a two-phase-based generous cooperative routing protocol (called GEC) is presented for V2V networks to provide resistance to selfishness. To detect selfish behaving vehicles, a packet forwarding watchdog and an average connection rate based on the multipath weight method are used, where evidence is gathered from different watchdogs. Then, multihop relay decisions are made using a generous cooperative algorithm based on game theory. Finally, through buffering of the multiple end-to-end paths and judicious choice of optimal cooperative routes, route maintenance phase is capable of dealing with congestion and rapidly exchanging traffic. Specifically, it is proved that the GEC is theoretically subgame perfect. Simulation results show that for V2V networks with inherently selfish nodes, the proposed method isolates uncooperative vehicles and is capable of accommodating both the mobility and congestion circumstances by facilitating information dissemination and reducing end-to-end delay.

Tow-year-old Taxus cuspidata shoot cuttings were treated with various electrical impacts of cathode on their base and anode on their apex by normal and reverse source. The cuttings were previously treated with 200ppm IBA for 12 hours and the rooting percentage, the length, and the weight of roots were checked. The auxin contents of cuttings were also examined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The results obtained on this study are as follows; 1. Normal treatment, cathode into the base and anode into apex, seemed to accelerate rooting while reverse treatment showed less effective than normal treatment on rooting, but both treatments were more effective than control. 2. The impact of electrical treatment at 30mV for 30min has a remarkable effect on the percentage rooting, the length, and the weight of roots. 3. Root primordia were formed at the basipetal end of cuttings where the end of primary pith ray meets the cambium in control treatment and formed at the basal part of cuttings irregularly in electrical treatment. 4. High-performance liquid chromatography showed electrical treatment was more effective on auxin accumulation than control, and 30mV-30min was the most effective on auxin accumulation.

This paper introduces a new approach to modeling relative distance among nodes under a variety of communication rates, due to node's mobility in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs). When mobile nodes move to another location, the relative distance of communicating nodes will directly affect the data rate of transmission. The larger the distance between two communicating nodes is, the lower the rate that they can use for transferring data will be. The connection certainty of a link also changes because a node may move closer to or farther away out of the communication range of other nodes. Therefore, the stability of a route is related to connection entropy. Taking into account these issues, this paper proposes a new routing metric for MANETs. The new metric considers both link weight and route stability based on connection entropy. The problem of determining the best route is subsequently formulated as the minimization of an object function formed as a linear combination of the link weight and the connection uncertainty of that link. The simulation results show that the proposed routing metric improves end-to-end throughput and reduces the percentage of link breakages and route reparations.

The front-end side members of automobiles, such as the hat-shaped section member, absorb most of the energy during the front-end collision. The side members absorb more energy in collision if they have higher strength and stiffness, and stable folding capacity (local buckling). Using the above characteristics on energy absorption, vehicle should be designed light-weight to improve fuel combustion ratio and reduce exhaust gas. Because of their specific strength and stiffness, CFRP are currently being considered for many structural (aerospace vehicle, automobiles, trains and ships) applications due to their potential for reducing structural weight. Although CFRP members exhibit collapse modes that are significantly different from the collapse modes of metallic materials, numerous studies have shown that CFRP members can be efficient energy absorbing materials. In this study, the CFRP side members were manufactured using a uni-directional prepreg sheet of carbon/Epoxy and axial static collapse tests were performed for the members. The collapse mode and the energy absorption capability of the members were analyzed under the static load.

A field experiment was conducted to examine the growth of one and two year old American ginseng (Panax guinguefolium L.) in the arid interior of British Columbia, Canada. For both years of plants, early season growth was characterized by rapid stem and leaf dry matter production. Root growth commenced in early June and continued until early September. One year old roots had a dry weight of 0.1 to 0.2g at the end of the growing season. The two years old roots commenced the growing season at 0.Is and increased in dry matter by a factor of ten-fold. Dry to fresh weight ratios for both years were similar for root, leaf and stem samples at the end of the growing season. Leaf area index for both years showed similarities in progression over the growing season. As a consequence of the effectiveness of the microclimate modification employed to permit American ginseng cultivation (elevated shade cloth and surface mulch), plant growth and development was extremely good. This indicates the potential for the cultivation of American ginseng in dryland environments.

본 논문에서는 MANET에서 효율적인 AODV 알고리즘을 제안한다. MANET에서는 전송 채널이 에러와 손실이 높기 때문에 홉 수를 절대적인 네트워크의 메트릭으로 볼 수 없다는 점이다. 제안된 기법은 크로스레이어 디자인을 이용하여 데이터 링크 계층에서 FER을 주기적으로 측정한 후, 각 노드는 링크 상태의 가중치를 AODV 프로토콜의 예약된 필드로 전송하는 방법을 사용하였다. 효과적인 경로 설정을 위해서 가중치의 합을 비교해서 채널 상태가 양호한 링크를 경로 설정에 사용하도록 설계하였다. 제안된 AODV는 기존 AODV 방식에 비하여 throughput, 라우팅 오버헤드 및 평균 전송 지연시간을 향상시킨다.

Between March 1989 and December 1994, one-stage repair was performed for correction of the intracardiac malformations associated with aortic coarctation in 34 patients or interrupted aortic arch in 8 patients via median sternotomy. There were 26 male and 16 female patients, and their body weight ranged from 1.8 to 8 kg [mean weight, 4.0 1.4 kg . The age at the operation ranged from 7 days to 18 months [mean age, 3.1 $\pm$ 3.8 months . The repair of aortic coarctation or interrupted aortic arch was performed using extended end-to-end anastomosis in most of the patients [86%, 36/42 , and six patients underwent ductal tissue excision and patch aortoplasty. Intracardiac defects were corrected concomitantly through the right atrium unless the anatomy dictated otherwise. Obstructive outlet septum was resected whenever necessary. There were seven early deaths [16.8 % , and three late deaths with a mean follow-up period of 25 months [range from 1 to 65 months . Three patients were reoperated upon residual subaortic stenosis, stenosis at the RPA origin, and subacute bacterial endocarditis respectively. None showed any significant residual or anastomotic stenosis postoperatively. One stage repair of the aortic coarctation and interrupted aortic arch associated with intracardiac defect leaves no native coarctation shelf tissue or residual hypoplasia in the repaired segment, has low incidence of recurrent or residual stenosis, minimizes reoperation and incisions, and manages arch hypoplasia easily. We concluded that surgical results of one-stage repair for the intracardiac malformation associated with aortic coarctation or interrupted aortic arch are reasonable.

Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the the efficacy of oral glutamine (GLN) in prevention of acute radiation-induced esophagitis in patients with lung cancer and determine the predictive role of clinical and dosimetric parameters. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two patients diagnosed with lung cancer were studied prospectively. Sixteen patients (50%) received prophylactic powdered GLN orally in doses of 10g/8h. Patients were treated 2 Gy per fraction daily, 5 days a week. We evaluated the grading of esophagitis daily at the end of each fraction of each treatment day until a cumulative dose of 50 Gy was reached. The primary end point was radiation-induced esophagitis. Results: All patients tolerated GLN well. Toxicity grade, weight loss, serum cytokine levels and esophageal transit times exhibited statistically significant improvement in the GLN receiving group. GLN suppressed the inflammation related to the disease and treatment and reduced toxicity with statistical significance. Conclusions: This study suggests a benefical role of oral GLN use in prevention and/or delay of radiation-induced esophagitis, in terms of esophageal transit time and serum immunological parameters, as well as weight loss.

제어 비트를 통한 직류 성분 제거 방법으로 주로 코드워드 끝단에서의 WRDS(word-end running digital sum) 기준을 적용하고 있다. WRDS 기준에 의한 직류 성분 제거 방법은 계산 및 구현이 쉬운 반면에 제어 비트 및 코드워드의 길이가 길어질수록 성능이 저하되는 단점이 있다. 복잡도가 높은 대신 최적의 성능을 갖는 방법으로 MSW(mean-square weight) 기준이 있다. 본 논문에서는 MPRDS(minimum peak RDS)라는 고밀도 광 기록 저장 장치를 위한 변조 코드의 새로운 직류 성분 제거 방법을 제안하였다. 이 방법은 계산 및 구현상의 복잡도가 MSW 기준에 비해 현저하게 낮으면서도 제어 비트 및 코드워드의 길이가 증가하더라도 MSW 기준에 의한 성능에 근접함을 입증하였다.
