Wireless sensor networks have taken immense interest in healthcare systems in recent years. One example of it is in an in vivo sensor that is deployed in critical and sensitive healthcare applications like artificial retina, cardiac pacemaker, drug delivery, blood pressure, internal heat calculation, glucosemonitoring etc. In vivo sensor nodes exhibit temperature that may be very dangerous for human tissues. However, existing in vivo thermal aware routing approaches suffer from hotspot creation, delay, and computational complexity. These limitations motivate us toward an in vivo virtual backbone, a small subset of nodes, connected to all other nodes and involved in routing of all nodes, -based solution. A virtual backbone is lightweight and its fault-tolerant version allows in vivo sensor nodes to disconnect hotspot paths and to use alternative paths. We have formulated the problem as m-connected k-dominating set problem with minimum temperature cost in in vivo sensor network. This is a combinatorial optimization problem and we have been motivated to use evolutionary approach to solve the problem.

In this paper, adaptive channel borrowing approach fuzzy neural networks for load balancing (ACB-FNN) is presented to maximized the number of served calls and the depending on asymmetries traffic load problem. In a wireless network, the call's arrival rate, the call duration and the communication overhead between the base station and the mobile switch center are vague and uncertain. A new load balancing algorithm with cell involved negotiation is also presented in this paper. The ACB-FNN exhibits better learning abilities, optimization abilities, robustness, and fault-tolerant capability thus yielding better performance compared with other algorithms. It aims to efficiently satisfy their diverse quality-of-service (QoS) requirements. The results show that our algorithm has lower blocking rate, lower dropping rate, less update overhead, and shorter channel acquisition delay than previous methods.

Delay-Disruption Tolerant Network(DTN)는 stored-and-forward를 통한 비대칭 통신을 하며 이러한 통신에 적합한 라우팅을 고려하기 위한 연구가 지속적으로 진행 되고 있다. 이러한 라우팅은 Bundle layer에 스토리지를 두어 종 단간 연결이 끊어지더라도 메시지를 보존 할 수 있으며, 현재 이러한 DTN의 특징을 Mobile Ad-hoc Network(MANET)에 적용하여 노드의 이동성을 보다 다이나믹하게 유지 할 수 있도록 하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이동성이 잦은 지역에서 메시지를 효과적으로 전송하기 위하여 MANET과 DTN 의 특징이 적용된 네트워크 환경에서 AODV 라우팅 테이블 안에 Score를 두어 경로 재탐색이나 메시지 전송이 반복될 경우 Score 값을 기준으로 보다 우월한 노드를 찾을 수 있게 하였다.

This paper is based on multicasting model in k-ary n-cubes, and Proposes an adaptive wormhole routing algorithm which allows faults and channel contention. The proposed algorithm only requires $2{\times}n$ virtual channels per physical channel which is proportional to the dimension n in order to allow (n-1) faults in a k-ary n-cube. This method uses smaller number of virtual channels than the previously Proposed adaptive routing algorithms [5, 18]. Through a chaos simulator, we have measured message delay considering fault-tolerant as well as message traffic to our adaptive routing algorithm.

서로 다른 수중 통신 매체 사이의 각기 다른 장단점을 해결하기 위해 여러 종류의 수중 통신 모듈을 함께 운용하는 통신 기술인 다중매체 통신 기술이 등장하였다. 다중매체 통신은 한 네트워크에서 서로 다른 통신 매체들을 함께 운용하기 때문에 이들의 전송 속도 차이로 인한 흐름 제어 문제가 발생한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 통신 속도 차이로 인한 전송데이터 손실을 미연에 방지하는 수중 다중매체 통신에서 전송데이터 흐름을 제어하는 일종의 DTN (Delay/ Disruption Tolerant Network) 프로토콜을 제안한다. 이 전송 속도 제어 프로토콜을 이용하여 수중 다중매체 통신 네트워크에서 전송 속도 차이로 인해 한 노드에 메시지가 쌓여 전송 큐의 전송데이터 손실이 예측되는 경우 보조 저장장치를 이용하여 큐의 길이를 늘이고, 보조 저장장치 또한 전송데이터 손실이 예측되는 경우 전송 중인 노드에 전송 일시중지를 요청하며 지연상태가 해결된 후 다시 전송을 요청할 수 있다.

This study was conducted to know how low temperature response of rice varieties is available for breeding lines adapted to cold weather. Some agronomic characters related to cold tolerance were evaluated for 188 varieties including three varietal types of Japonica, Tongil, and Indica. Cold tolerance of Japonica and Indica type varieties varied in leaf discoloration, heading delay, reduction of culm length, panicle number, spikelet number, panicle exsertion, spikelet fertility, and phenotypic acceptability at maturity, while Tongil type varieties were susceptible in most agronomic characters. In leaf discoloration, most Japonica type varieties were highly tolerant, while Indica type varieties showed various responses from tolerant to susceptibility. Not significant difference among three varietal types was observed on reduction of panicle number and spikelet number due to low temperature.

The checkpointing schemes should reduce the process delay through managing the checkpoints of each node to fit the network load to enhance the performance of the process running on the cluster system that write the checkpoints into its global stable storage. For this reason, a cluster system with single IO space on a distributed RAID chooses a suitable checkpointng scheme to get the maximum IO performance and the best rollback recovery efficiency. In this paper, we improved the striped checkpointing scheme with dynamic stripe group size by adapting to the network bandwidth variation at the point of checkpointing. To analyze the performance of the multi striped checkpointing scheme, we applied Linpack HPC benchmark with MPI on our own cluster system with maximum 512 virtual nodes. The benchmark results showed that the multistriped checkpointing scheme has better performance than the striped checkpointing scheme on the checkpoint writing efficiency and rollback recovery at heavy system load.

In this paper, a novel fault detection method for fault tolerant control is proposed when the NPC inverter has a open failure in the switching device. The open fault of switching device is detected by checking the variation of a leg-voltage in the neutral-point-clamped inverter and the two phases control method is used for continuously balance the three phases voltage to the load. It can be achieve the fault tolerant control for improving the reliability of the NPC inverter by the fault detection and reconfiguration. This method has fast detection ability and a simple realization for fault detection, compared with a conventional method. Also, this fast detection ability improved the harmful effects such as DC-link voltage unbalance and overstress to other switching devices from a delay of fault detection. The proposed method has been verified by simulation and experiment.

As an accident tolerant fuel (ATF) concept, oxide dispersion strengthened Zircaloy-4 (ODS Zry-4) cladding has been developed to enhance the mechanical properties of cladding using laser processing technology. In this study, a simulation technique was established to investigate the mechanical properties and effects of Y₂O₃ particles for the ODS Zry-4. A 3D representative volume element (RVE) model was developed considering the parameters of the size, shape, distribution and volume fraction (VF) of the Y₂O₃ particles. From the 3D RVE model, the Young's modulus, coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and creep strain rate of the ODS Zry-4 were effectively calculated. It was observed that the VF of Y₂O₃ particles had a significant effect on the aforementioned mechanical properties. In addition, the predicted properties of ODS Zry-4 were applied to a simulation model to investigate cladding deformation under a transient condition. The ODS Zry-4 cladding showed better performance, such as a delay in large deformation compared to Zry-4 cladding, which was also found experimentally. Accordingly, it is expected that the simulation approach developed here can be efficiently employed to predict more properties and to provide useful information with which to improve ODS Zry-4.

LonWorks over IP (LonWorks/IP) virtual device network (VDN) is an integrated form of LonWorks device network and IP data network. LonWorks/IP VDN can offer ubiquitous access to the information on the factory floor and make it possible for the predictive and preventive maintenance on the factory floor. Timely response is inevitable for predictive and preventive maintenance on the factory floor under the real-time distributed control. The network induced uncertain time delay deteriorates the performance and stability of the real-time distributed control system on LonWorks/IP virtual device network. Therefore, in order to guarantee the stability and to improve the performance of the networked distributed control system the time-varying uncertain time delay needs to be compensated for. In this paper, under the real-time distributed control on LonWorks/IP VDN with uncertain time delay, a control scheme based on disturbance observer and ZPETC(Zero Phase Error Tracking Controller) phase lag compensator is proposed and tested through computer simulation. The result of the proposed control is compared with that of internal model controller (IMC) based on Smith predictor and disturbance observer. It is shown that the proposed control scheme is disturbance and noise tolerant and can significantly improve the stability and the tracking performance of the periodic reference. Therefore, the proposed control scheme is well suited for the distributed servo control for predictive maintenance on LonWorks/IP-based virtual device network with time-varying delay.
