In this paper, we shall convey preservation of some partial orderings and closures of some positive ageing classes under k-out-of-n systems of like components. That is, if the life time of a component A is larger than that of a component B in any of the NBU, DMRL, NBUE, HNBUE, NBUFR and NBUFRA orderings, then a k-out-of-n system formed by i.i.d.. components of type A has larger life time, in that ordering, than that of a similar system consisting of n i.i.d. components type of B. And using these partial orderings, closures of positive aging classes(NBU, DMRL, NBUE, HNBUE, NBUFR and NBUFRA) under the coherent system like components.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of pulse position modulation-time hopping ultra wide band (PPM-TH UWB) systems with antenna diversity technique in indoor wireless channel. A modified Saleh and Valenzuela (SV) model is adopted as a UWB indoor channel model. Perfect synchronization between a transmitter and a receiver is assumed. Therefore, coherent equal gain combining (EGC) scheme to collect the energy available in the multipath components is investigated. It is shown that the performance is improved by increasing the number of antennas at the receiver. The results of this paper can be applied to the applications of UWB.

The integration of high-capacity terrestrial networks with non-terrestrial communication using satellites has become essential to support seamless low-latency services based on artificial intelligence and big data. Tunable light sources have been instrumental in resolving the complexity of channel management in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems, contributing to increased network flexibility and serving as optical sources for long-distance coherent systems. Recently, these light sources have been applied to beam-steering devices in laser communication and sensing applications across ground, aerial, and satellite transport. We examine the utilization and requirements of tunable lasers in WDM networks and describe the relevant development status. In addition, performance requirements and development directions for tunable lasers used in optical interference systems and beam-steering devices are reviewed.

There is much architectural and engineering literature which discusses the virtues of exterior bracing and diagrid systems in regards to sustainability - two systems which generally reduce building materials, enhance structural performance, and decrease overall construction cost. By surveying past, present as well as possible future towers, this paper examines another attribute of these structural systems - the blend of structural functionality and aesthetics. Given the external nature of these structural systems, diagrids and exterior bracings can visually communicate the inherent structural logic of a building while also serving as a medium for artistic effect. Viewed in this light, the visual appeal of these systems can be enhanced to give a tower a more distinct urban identity. This entails the creation of structural elements that are aesthetically pleasing, geometrically coherent and that demonstrate dexterity of application in regards to a building's composition, while also respecting the laws of physics and mechanics. In this fashion, an artistic approach can exhibit structural systems as not just purely rational features that enable the construction of tall buildings, but as important visual components that afford opportunities for creative expression. This paper, therefore, synthesizes the concepts of structural performance and creative artistry to facilitate a better understanding of the aesthetic developments in skyscrapers worldwide.

The emerging standards since 1990's can be classified as 'system standards' (process-oriented standards) and they specify the process of an enterprise and also apply to almost all industries regardless of size, type and products. Notice that the conventional specification-oriented standards present relatively clear criteria even though the structure, performance, and terminology are defined in text-based form. However, the system standards dealing with the processes do not present a coherent guide. Therefore, it is difficult to analyze them with the same viewpoint, thereby resulting in differences in the level of understanding. This study is aimed at graphically modeling the system standards originally described in text-based form. The study has been carried out in the framework of the PMTE (Process, Methods, Tools, and Environment) paradigm. The system standard targeted here is ISO/IEC 15288. Firstly, review of the literature on the systems engineering (SE) standard/process and on the graphic model IDEF0 was done, respectively, for the parts of 'E' and 'M'. Then the SE process of the MIL-STD 499B was applied to ISO/IEC 15288 as 'P'. Finally, the graphical model was generated by AI0Wins as 'T'. As a result, the graphical model-based approach can complement the drawbacks of the text-based form.

본 논문에서는 간단한 형태의 적분기와 1-비트 ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter)로 구성된 AFE (Analog Front End)를 사용하는 Noncoherent IR-UWB (Impulse Radio-Ultra Wide Band) 레인징 (Ranging) 시스템을 제시하고, 레인징 성능에 영향을 주는 AFE 특성에 대해 정의한다. 이 레인징 시스템에서 적분기는 단순히 수신된 신호의 에너지만을 축적하며, 다중 비트 ADC를 필요로 하는 Coherent IR-UWB 시스템과는 달리 1-비트 ADC를 사용하게 되므로, 시스템 구현 측면에서 현실적이고 매우 용이하다고 할 수 있다. 반면, Noncoherent 방식의 특성상 수신 신호를 단순히 제곱하여 적분하게 되므로, 잡음과 다중경로 페이딩 등의 채널 특성에 따라 레인징 정밀도는 큰 영향을 받게 된다. 그러나 이러한 현실적인 중요성에도 불구하고, 현재까지의 IR-UWB 레인징 시스템 연구에서는 AFE 특성 변화에 따른 성능 분석에 관한 결과는 거의 제시되지 않고 있다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 Noncoherent IR-UWB 레인징 시스템을 사용하는 경우 다양한 무선 채널 환경에서 AFE 특성 변화에 따른 레인징 성능을 분석한다. 또한 이를 통해 실제 UWB 하드웨어를 설계할 경우 규격 설정에 고려해야 할 파라미터들을 제시한다.

PC클러스터 기반 정보 검색 시스템은 질의를 클러스터 상의 노드에 분산시켜 병렬로 처리함으로써 전체 시스템의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 그러나, 노드 사이의 데이터 교환을 위하여 TCP/IP 기반 통신을 사용하는 것은 전체 시스템 성능 저하의 원인이 된다. 이를 해결하기 위해 개발된 것이 사용자 수준 통신(user-level communication)이다. 이것은 성능에 치명적인 영향을 미치는 커널 접근을 통신 단계에서 제거함으로써 적은 지연시간과 높은 대역폭을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 사용자 수준 통신 방법의 업계 표준인 VIA(Virtual Interface Architecture)를 기반으로 한 효율적인 병렬 정보 검색 시스템을 제안한다. 본 논문의 정보 검색 시스템은 SCI(Scalable Coherent Interface) 기반의 VIA 방식, SCI 기반의 VIA/MPI 방식 그리고 Fast Ethernet 기반의 VIA/MPI 방식으로 구현되었으며 실험을 통하여 세 방식의 성능을 비교 분석하였다.

Living organisms are comprised of various systems at different levels, i.e., organs, tissues, and cells. Each system carries out its diverse functions in response to environmental and genetic perturbations, by utilizing biological networks, in which nodal components, such as, DNA, mRNAs, proteins, and metabolites, closely interact with each other. Systems biology investigates such systems by producing comprehensive global data that represent different levels of biological information, i.e., at the DNA, mRNA, protein, or metabolite levels, and by integrating this data into network models that generate coherent hypotheses for given biological situations. This review presents a systems biology framework, called the 'Integrative Proteomics Data Analysis Pipeline' (IPDAP), which generates mechanistic hypotheses from network models reconstructed by integrating diverse types of proteomic data generated by mass spectrometry-based proteomic analyses. The devised framework includes a serial set of computational and network analysis tools. Here, we demonstrate its functionalities by applying these tools to several conceptual examples.

The subject of "Design Requirements" (DR) is central to the design of software and engineering systems. The main reason for this is that quality aspects are usually closely tied to requirements, among other things. In this review paper, we consider how the subject of requirements is being managed in these two seemingly different design disciplines. Two important aspects are covered, namely: (a) requirements development, describing various activities leading to requirements documentation, and (b) requirements change management, describing various activities needed for the proper treatment of the inevitable changes in requirements. Similarities and differences on how these two aspects are handled in software and engineering systems are highlighted. It is concluded from this literature survey that the management of software requirements is quite coherent and well established as a science. On the other hand, management of engineering systems requirements suffer from being unstructured, in particular when requirements changes are involved. Important gaps and future important research areas are identified.

This letter proposes a non-coherent blind time-of-arrival (TOA) estimation scheme for impulse radio ultra-wideband systems. The TOA estimation is performed in two consecutive phases: the Rayleigh-quotient theorem-based coarse-signal acquisition (CSA) and the iterative-threshold-test-based fine time estimation (FTE). The proposed scheme serves in a blind manner without demanding any a priori knowledge of the channel and the noise. Analysis and simulations demonstrate that the proposed scheme significantly increases the signal detection probability in CSA and ameliorates the TOA estimation accuracy in FTE.
