Recent measurement and simulation studies have revealed that wide area network traffic displays complex statistical characteristics-possibly multifractal scaling-on fine timescales, in addition to the well-known properly of self-similar scaling on coarser timescales. In this paper we investigate the performance and network engineering significance of these fine timescale features using measured TCP anti MPEG2 video traces, queueing simulations and analytical arguments. We demonstrate that the fine timescale features can affect performance substantially at low and intermediate utilizations, while the longer timescale self-similarity is important at intermediate and high utilizations. We relate the fine timescale structure in the measured TCP traces to flow controls, and show that UDP traffic-which is not flow controlled-lacks such fine timescale structure. Likewise we relate the fine timescale structure in video MPEG2 traces to sub-frame encoding. We show that it is possibly to construct a relatively parsimonious multi-fractal cascade model of fine timescale features that matches the queueing performance of both the TCP and video traces. We outline an analytical method ta estimate performance for traffic that is self-similar on coarse timescales and multi-fractal on fine timescales, and show that the engineering problem of setting safe operating points for planning or admission controls can be significantly influenced by fine timescale fluctuations in network traffic. The work reported here can be used to model the relevant characteristics of wide area traffic across a full range of engineering timescales, and can be the basis of more accurate network performance analysis and engineering.

In this paper, we designed a cascaded microstrip lowpass filter using the lowpass filters previously proposed. The previously proposed lowpass filters have a ultra-wide stopband and prominent cutoff sharpness using the combined characteristics of slot and microstrip open stub, respectively, and they are catagorized into 2 types by the method that determining their passband characteristics. The first type is determined its passband characteristics by open stub characteristics and the second is by slot characteristics. By cascading these structures with impedance adjustment of each element, the deeper out-of-band rejection and the sharper skirt response were achieved. The fabricated cascaded lowpass filters have -3㏈ cutoff frequencies at 1.035㎓ and 1.286㎓ respectively and -20㏈ stopband is over 20㎓ for both structures.

This paper proposes a two-stage step-down buck and a tapped-inductor boost cascaded converter for high efficiency photovoltaic micro-inverter applications. The proposed inverter is a new structure to inject a rectified sinusoidal current into a low-frequency switching inverter for single-phase grid with unity power factor. To build a rectified-waveform of the output current. the converter employs both of a high efficiency step-up and a step-down converter in cascade. In step-down mode, tapped inductor(TI) boost converter stops and the buck converter operates alone. In boost mode, the TI converter operates with the halt of buck operation. The converter provides a rectified current to low frequency inverter, then the inverter converts the current into a unity power-factor sinusoidal waveform. By applying a TI, the converter can decrease the turn-on ratios of the main switch in TI boost converter even with an extreme step-up operation. The performance validation of the proposed design is confirmed by an experimental results of a 120W hardware prototype.

Monolayers of lipids on a water surface have attracted much interest as models of biological membranes but also as precursors of multilayer systems promising many technical applications. Until now, many methodologies have been developed in order to gain a better understand. Photoisomerization in monolayers of a novel azobenzene compound, azobenzene dendrimer, was investigated for the first time by means of the absorption spectrum and Maxwell displacement current (MDC) technique. Dendrimers are well-defined macromolecules exhibiting a tree-like structure, first derived by the cascade molecule approach. According to the absorption spectrum, trans-to-cis conversion ratio was estimated to the third generation of azobenzene dendrimer deposited onto a glass substrate. Temperature-dependent induced charge with trans-cis isomerization was also measured by means of MDC technique.

The method of increasing the bandwidth of distributed amplifier by the feedback loop is presented in this paper. In this method, it is tried to increase the gain of the amplifier in the high frequency range by giving a positive feedback on the device, while giving no influence in the low frequency range. For the simplicity of the amplifier design the transmission line theory of periodical structure with a unilateral divice is used in the design, and the 2-ports cascade network theory developed by K.B. Niclas is used in computer analysis for the purpose of precise results. In this simulation, the bandwidth of the amplifier is increased from 16 [GHz] without feedback loop to about 20 [GHz] with the feedback loop.

In this study, we conduct a numerical experiment of the single 5MW NREL wind turbine and compare the performance of various vortex core identification for the wake behind the wind turbine. In the kinetic analysis of wind turbine, 20% velocity deficit at 200 s is observed, showing wake which contains tip vortex near blade tip and rotor vortex at the center of the wind turbine. Time series of velocity and turbulent intensity show numerical simulation converge to a quasi-steady state near 200 s. In the comparison between methods for vortex identification, ${\lambda}_2$-method has good performance in terms of tip vortex, rotor vortex, vortex during its cascade process compared to vorticity magnitude criteria, ${\Delta}$-method. We conclude that ${\lambda}_2$-method is suitable for vortex identification method for wake visualization.

Because most researches that were studied so far on XML documents used an absolute coordinate system in most of the index techniques, the update operation makes a large burden. To express the structural relations between elements, attributes and text, we need to reconstruct the structure of the coordinates. As the reconstruction process proceeds through out the entire XML document in a cascade manner, which is not limited to the current changing node, a serious performance problem may be caused by the frequent update operations. In this paper, we propose an index technique based on extensible index that does not cause serious performance degradations. It can limit the number of node to participate in reconstruction process and improve lots of performance capacities on the whole. And extensible index performs the containment relationship query by the simple expression using SQL statement.

Fuzzy system is capable of uniformly approximating any nonlinear function over compact input space. The applications of fuzzy system, however, have been primarily limited by the need for large number of fuzzy rules, in particular, for the high-order nonlinear system. In this paper, we propose the reconstruction methods of fuzzy systems, parallel type and cascade, based on the decomposition of some classes of high-order nonlinear functions. Using the both types appropriately, we can reduce the number of fuzzy rules geometrically. It can be applied to the fuzzy system that has an online adaptive structure. Two examples of adaptive fuzzy sliding mode control are shown in the computer simulations to verify the validity of the proposed algorithm.

Continuous-time integrated filters, implemented in MOS VLSI technology, have been receiving considerable attention. In this paper, a continuous-time fifth order elliptic low-pass MOSFET-C filter has been designed with a cutoff frequency 3,400Hz. First an active RC filter is designed using cascade method which each block can be tunable. And then the resistors of an active RC network are replaced by a linear resistor using NMOS depletion transistors operated in the triode region. This continuous-time MOSFET filter have simpler structure than switched-capacitor filter, so reduce the chip area. The designed MOSFET-C filter characteristics are simulated by PSPICE program.
