에너지 교체가 어려운 무선 센서네트워크(Wireless Sensor Network)에서 에너지 소모량을 줄이기 위하여 효율적 라우팅에 관한 연구가 다양하게 진행되고 있다. 그 중 라우팅 분야는 현재 클러스터링 방식이 가장 효율적인 방식으로 연구되고 있다. 클러스터링 방식은 클러스터를 구성하는 부분과 데이터를 전송하는 부분으로 구성된다. 클러스터를 구성하는 부분은 클러스터 내에 센서 노드들 간에 에너지 소모를 동등하게 하기 위하여 주기적으로 반복된다. 클러스터 구성 부분은 클러스터 헤드 노드를 선정하고 클러스터 헤드 노드에 최적화된 클러스터 멤버 노드를 구성하는 부분으로 알고리즘이 복잡하고 에너지 소모가 크다. 또한 데이터를 전송하는 부분은 크로스오버 영역을 중심으로 에너지 소모량이 $d^2$ 과 $d^4$ 으로 비례된다. 본 논문은 클러스터 방식에서 주기적으로 일어나는 클러스터 구성 부분을 효율화하여 에너지 소모량을 줄이는 방법을 제안하였다. 이 방식은 클러스터의 구성에 있어서 밀도를 고려한 노드가 배치될 영역을 균등 분할하여 클러스터 내의 센서 노드수를 거의 일정하게 하고, 클러스터의 중앙 근처에 헤드 노드의 선정함으로 에너지 소모를 줄이는 방식이다. 이 제안의 타당성을 모의실험을 통하여 보면, LEACH 방식에서의 에너지 소모량보다 적은 것이 확인하였다.

In this paper, we investigate the degrees of freedom (DoF) of a two-cluster multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multiway relay interference channel (mRIC), where there are two relays and two users per cluster. In this channel, users within the same cluster exchange messages among themselves with the help of two relays.We first obtain the DoF upper bound of the considered MIMO mRIC based on cut-set bound. Then, we propose a novel transmission strategy, blind interference neutralization (BIN), to approach the DoF upper bound. This new method utilizes the overheard information at two relays and focuses on the beamforming matrix designs at two relays so that the channel state information (CSI) at users is not required. Through theoretical analysis and numerical simulations, we show that the DoF upper bound can be obtained by using the BIN scheme. From simulation results, we show that the proposed BIN scheme can provide significant performance gain over the conventional time division multiple access (TDMA) scheme in terms of DoF. In addition, we show that the BIN scheme is a superior approach to the existing signal space alignment (SSA) schemes for the considered mRIC.

본 논문에서는 가우시안 2-군집 모델을 사용한 블라인드 등화 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방식에서는 M-QAM 수신 신호를 가우시안 분포하는 2-군집으로 모델링하여 계산 복잡성을 최소화하고 신호 추정의 신뢰도를 높였다. 여기에 가변 파라미터 비선형 추정기를 사용하여 송신 신호를 추정하고, 신호 추정 시 군집의 분산에 따라 축소신호점과 원신호점을 선택적으로 적용하여 신호 추정의 신뢰도를 더욱 개선하였다. 결과적으로 제안 방식은 등화기의 계산 복잡성을 단순화하면서 성능을 개선하였다. 모의실험을 통해 64-QAM의 고차 신호에 대한 블라인드 등화에서 제안 방식이 기존 방식에 비해 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

Comprehensive inhibition of RUNX1, RUNX2, and RUNX3 led to marked cell suppression compared with inhibition of RUNX1 alone, clarifying that the RUNX family members are important for proliferation and maintenance of diverse cancers, and "cluster regulation of RUNX (CROX)" is a very effective strategy to suppress cancer cells. Recent studies reported by us and other groups suggested that wild-type RUNX1 is needed for survival and proliferation of certain types of leukemia, lung cancer, gastric cancer, etc. and for their one of metastatic target sites such as born marrow endothelial niche, suggesting that RUNX1 often functions oncogenic manners in cancer cells. In this review, we describe the significance and paradoxical requirement of RUNX1 tumor suppressor in leukemia and even solid cancers based on recent our findings such as "genetic compensation of RUNX family transcription factors (the compensation mechanism for the total level of RUNX family protein expression)", "RUNX1 inhibition-induced inhibitory effects on leukemia cells and on solid cancers through p53 activation", and "autonomous feedback loop of RUNX1-p53-CBFB in acute myeloid leukemia cells". Taken together, these findings identify a crucial role for the RUNX cluster in the maintenance and progression of cancers and suggest that modulation of the RUNX cluster using the pyrrole-imidazole polyamide gene-switch technology is a potential novel therapeutic approach to control cancers.

모바일 애드혹 네트워크(MANET: Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork)에서는 노드의 잦은 이동으로 네트워크 토폴로지 변화가 역동적으로 변하는 특성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 네트워크의 변화에 효과적으로 대응 할 수 있는 안정성이 우수한 라우팅 경로 설정 프로토콜이 필요하다. 기존의 클러스터 기반 라우팅 프로토콜(CBRP: Cluster Based Routing Protocol)은 클러스터 헤드 노드의 재선출로 인한 라우팅 지연 오버헤드가 발생한다. 또한 라우팅에 필요한 라우팅 테이블의 정보가 한 홉 반경으로만 국한되는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 PCBRP는 기존의 CBRP의 클러스터를 한 쌍의 페어로 묶어 기존의 클러스터 보다 반경이 큰 페어 클러스터를 만들어, 한 쌍의 클러스터 헤드 노드가 멤버 노드를 관리하고 운용 한다. 기존의 CBRP에서는 클러스터 헤드 노드가 더 이상 헤드 노드의 역할을 수행하지 못할 경우 헤드 노드의 재선출로 인한 지연이 생기는데, PCBRP에서는 헤드 노드의 역할을 수행하지 못하는 헤드 노드의 역할을 페어 클러스터의 다른 헤드 노드가 대신하여 멤버 노드의 라우팅을 수행함으로써 라우팅 지연을 감소시킨다. 또한 PCBRP는 한쌍의 클러스터에 속한 멤버 노드에 대한 라우팅 테이블 정보가 페어 클러스터 범위로 확장되어 경로요청으로 인한 지연을 감소시킨다.

Resource sharing is a major advantage of distributed computing. However, a distributed computing system may have some physical or virtual resource that may be accessible by a single process at a time. The mutual exclusion issue is to ensure that no more than one process at a time is allowed to access some shared resource. The article proposes a token-based mutual exclusion algorithm for the clustered mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). The mechanism that is adapted to handle token passing at the inter-cluster level is different from that at the intra-cluster level. It makes our algorithm message efficient and thus suitable for MANETs. In the interest of efficiency, we implemented a centralized token passing scheme at the intra-cluster level. The centralized schemes are inherently failure prone. Thus, we have presented an intra-cluster token passing scheme that is able to tolerate a failure. In order to enhance reliability, we applied a distributed token circulation scheme at the inter-cluster level. More importantly, the message complexity of the proposed algorithm is independent of N, which is the total number of nodes in the system. Also, under a heavy load, it turns out to be inversely proportional to n, which is the (average) number of nodes per each cluster. We substantiated our claim with the correctness proof, complexity analysis, and simulation results. In the end, we present a simple approach to make our protocol fault tolerant.

The purpose of this study is to find out the fast delivery route that several drones return a truck again after departing from it for delivery locations at each cluster while the truck goes through the cluster composed of several delivery locations. The main issue is to reduce the total delivery time composed of the delivery time by relatively slow trucks via clusters and the sum of maximum delivery times by relatively fast drones in each cluster. To solve this problem, we use a three-step heuristic approach. First, we cluster the nearby delivery locations with minimal number of clusters satisfying a constraint of drone flight distance to set delivery paths for drones in each cluster. Second, we set an optimal delivery route for a truck through centers of the clusters using the TSP model. Finally, we find out the moved centers of clusters while maintaining the delivery paths for the truck and drones and satisfying the constraint of drone flight. distance in the two-dimensional region to reduce the total delivery time. In order to analyze the effect of this study model according to the change of the number of delivery locations, we developed a R-based simulation prototype and compared the relative efficiency, and performed paired t-test between TSP model and the cluster-based models. This study showed its excellence through this experimentation.

Hysteretic behavior model of soft magnetic material usually used in electrical machines and electronic devices is necessary for numerical solution of Maxwell equation. In this study, a new dynamic hysteresis model is presented, based on the nonlinear dynamic system identification from measured data capabilities of fuzzy clustering algorithm. The developed model is based on a Gustafson-Kessel (GK) fuzzy approach used on a normalized gathered data from measured dynamic cycles on a C core transformer made of 0.33mm laminations of cold rolled SiFe. The number of fuzzy rules is optimized by some cluster validity measures like 'partition coefficient' and 'classification entropy'. The clustering results from the GK approach show that it is not only very accurate but also provides its effectiveness and potential for dynamic magnetic hysteresis modeling.

In this study, we evaluate financial performance of 21 domestic life insurers using SAW (simple additive weighting), ELECTREII, cluster analysis respectively, and suggest a hybrid approach of combining cluster analysis and ELECTREII to reclassify the life insurers into more meaningful groups according to their respective financial features. We also perform the sensitivity analysis employing ANOVA and Tukey's test to examine the robustness of ELECTREII, which would be influenced by decision maker's subjective preference parameters. Consequently, it is shown that ELECTREII turns out to be a flexible method providing decision makers with useful ranking Information especially under fuzzy decision making situation with incomparable alternatives, and hence it can serve as a complementary method to overcome the weakness of classical cluster analysis.

In this paper, delay-constrained data transmission is considered over error-prone networks. Network coding is deployed for efficient information exchange, and an approximate decoding approach is deployed to overcome potential all-or-nothing problems. Our focus is on determining the cluster size and its impact on approximate decoding performance. Decoding performance is quantified, and we show that performance is determined only by the number of packets. Moreover, the fundamental tradeoff between approximate decoding performance and data transfer rate improvement is analyzed; as the cluster size increases, the data transfer rate improves and decoding performance is degraded. This tradeoff can lead to an optimal cluster size of network coding-based networks that achieves the target decoding performance of applications. A set of experiment results confirms the analysis.
