We need XML generate various kinds of XML data to evaluate XML database systems. Existing XML data generators are developed to generate XML data that are suitable for particular evaluation methods, and their functionalities are limited in terms of generating XML data This paper introduces a new XML data generator, WeXGene, that not only improves the drawbacks of existing data generators but also adds new data generation functionalities. For generating XML data WeXGene uses the user data files and the structure definition files, which specify SDTD(Symbolic DTD) or input parameters. The user data file is a text data file that has column data or row data. It is also possible that WeXGene generates XML data without accessing the user data file. This paper presents the design details, overall system architecture, and data generation process of WeXGene. An analytic comparison with other XML data generators is also presented.

Objectives : This study was performed to evaluate the effect of SAAM acupuncture treatment for patients with fatigue. Methods : The clinical study was carried out with 56 fatigue patients who had visited the Fatigue Clinic in Dong-Seo Oriental Medical Hospital from April 2007 to September 2007. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups : SAAM acupuncture treatment group or control group. The acupuncture points used in the SAAM acupuncture treatment group were $LU_8$, $SP_3$, $HT_8$, $CV_6$, and $BL_{15}$. Acupuncture points used in the control group were non-acupoints near $LU_8$, $SP_3$, $HT_8$, $CV_6$, and $BL_{15}$. The patient's symptoms were assessed at baseline, after 1 week and after 2 weeks of treatment using theMultidimensional Fatigue Scale(MFS). Results : After 2 weeks, MFS score differences between the SAAM acupuncture treatment group and the control group were statistically significant(p<0.05). Conclusions : The results suggest that SAAM acupuncture treatment can be used to improve symptoms in patients with fatigue.

The vestibular system located in the inner ear controls reflex body posture and movement, It has the semicircular canals sensing an angular acceleration and the otolith organs sensing a linear acceleration. With this organic signal, medical doctor decide if a person has disease or not. To obtain this data, a precision stimular system is considered. Robust control is needed to obtain eye signals induced by off-vertical axis rotation because of an unbalanced load produced by tilting the axis of the system upto 30 degrees. In this study, off-vertical axis rotatory system with visual stimulation system are developed. This system is consisted of head mounted display for generating horizontal, vertical, and three dimensional stimulus patterns. Furthermore wireless recording system using RF modem is considered for noiseless data transmission. Detailed data was described.

According to a NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies report, temperatures have risen by approximately 1℃ so far, based on temperatures recorded in 1880. The 2003 heatwave in Europe affected approximately 35,000 people across Europe. In this study, a cooling fog, which is used in smart cities, was designed to efficiently reduce the temperature during a heatwave and its pilot test results were interpreted. A model experiment of the cooling fog was conducted using a chamber, in which nano mist spray instruments and spray nozzles were installed. The designed cooling fog chamber model showed a temperature reduction of up to 13.8℃ for artificial pavement and up to 8.0℃ for green surfaces. However, this model was limited by constant wind speed in the experiment. Moreover, if the cooling fog is used when the wind speed is more than 3m/s in the active green zone, the temperature reduction felt by humans is expected to be even greater. As a second study, the effect of cooling fog on temperature reduction was analyzed by installing a pilot test inside the Land Housing Institute (LHI). The data gathered in this research can be useful for the study of heat reduction techniques in urban areas.

With the widespread of the wireless Internet and wireless LAN, different wireless technologies such as 3G cellular networks and WLAN will cooperate to support more users and applications with higher data rate over wider areas. When a mobile node moves around in the hybrid networks, it needs to perform seamless vertical handoffs between different wireless networks to provide high performance data transmission. When an application with TCP connection in a mobile node performs a vertical handoff, TCP performance is degraded due to packet losses even though it maintains the previous TCP state information during handoff, because 3G and WLAN have different available bandwidth. In this paper, we propose a new congestion control algorithm for vertical handoff to improve the TCP performance by measuring the rough end-to-end available bandwidth and calculating the slow-start threshold. By ns-2 simulation, we show that the proposed algorithm enhances the TCP performance during vertical handoffs compared to the previous algorithms.

As a standard of WMNs, IEEE 802.11s supports two kinds of MAC algorithm: a mandatory EDCA used by IEEE 802.11e and an optional MCCA. While EDCA classifies traffic according to four Access Categories (AC) and offer differentiated service using a classified priority, MCCA can guarantee the specific bandwidth of users with a TDMA-style bandwidth reservation scheme between mesh routers. In case that a flow is VBR traffic of a multimedia application, MCCA has disadvantage that the reserved bandwidth does not be used entirely, though it guarantees required bandwidth of users and fairness using bandwidth reservation with neighbors' node. In this paper, we showed a problem that is wastes the reserved bandwidth when MCCA is enabled and proposed a new scheduling algorithm to prevent waste of bandwidth and to improve network utilization effectively, named Resource Sharing Round Robin (RSRR) scheduling. Finally we showed simulation results that performance of a proposed RSRR is better than the legacy MCCA through NS-2 simulation.

As new database systems are developed or new functions are added to existing database systems, database developers or users would like to evaluate new database systems or new functions. This paper presents an integrated database benchmark suite. The integrated suite offers genetic benchmarks, custom benchmark, and hybrid benchmarks to users on a unified Web user interface. With regard to text data generation, the integrated suite supports eight data distributions with three data types. The integrated suite can also generate XML data in three different ways. Users can run benchmarks in realistic environments by performing the workload generation facility of the integrated suite, which generates composite workloads similar to real-world workloads. Using supporting tools, users can easily implement new generic and custom benchmarks in the integrated suite. An illustrative demonstration to add a new custom benchmark into the integrated suite is presented.

Purpose of the study was to analyze the supraspinatus outlet image of sagittal MRI in rotator cuff disease. We analyzed the sagittal views of the shoulder MRI of 78 cases without cuff tear. The cases were divided into 51 cases of rotator cuff disease group and 27 cases of control group. Six parameters of acromial tilt, coracoacromial ligament angle, length and height of coracoacromial triangle, length of acromial side of the baseline and distance of intrusion of the humeral head were compared for each group. The distance of intrusion of the humeral head was the most significantly different one, 0.52cm for rotator cuff disease group and 0.15cm for control group. Intrusion of the humeral head to the supraspinatus outlet space from the bottom may be a contributing factor developing rotator cuff disease. The intrusion may precede to tearing of the rotator cuff.

$Fe_3O_4$/Fe/graphene nanocomposite powder is synthesized by electrical wire explosion of Fe wire and dispersed graphene in deionized water at room temperature. The structural and electrochemical characteristics of the powder are characterized by the field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, field-emission transmission electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and galvanometric discharge-charge method. For comparison, $Fe_3O_4$/Fe nanocomposites are fabricated under the same conditions. The $Fe_3O_4$/Fe nanocomposite particles, around 15-30 nm in size, are highly encapsulated in a graphene matrix. The $Fe_3O_4$/Fe/graphene nanocomposite powder exhibits a high initial charge specific capacity of 878 mA/g and a high capacity retention of 91% (798 mA/g) after 50 cycles. The good electrochemical performance of the $Fe_3O_4$/Fe/graphene nanocomposite powder is clearly established by comparison of the results with those obtained for $Fe_3O_4$/Fe nanocomposite powder and is attributed to alleviation of volume change, good distribution of electrode active materials, and improved electrical conductivity upon the addition of graphene.
