  • Geographic wireless sensor networks use position information for Greedy routing. Greedy routing works well in dense network where as in sparse network it may fail and require the use of recovery algorithms. Recovery algorithms help the packet to get out of the communication void. However, these algorithms are generally costlier for resource constrained position based wireless sensor type networks. In the present work, we propose a Void Avoidance Algorithm (VAA); a novel idea based on virtual distance upgrading that allows wireless sensor nodes to remove all stuck nodes by transforming the routing graph and forward packet using greedy routing only without recovery algorithm. In VAA, the stuck node upgrades distance unless it finds next hop node which is closer to the destination than itself. VAA guarantees the packet delivery if there is a topologically valid path exists. NS-2 is used to evaluate the performance and correctness of VAA and compared the performance with GPSR. Simulation results show that our proposed algorithm achieves higher delivery ratio, lower energy consumption and efficient path.

  • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a serious threat to the global healthcare system. Ineffective and resistance to antibiotic treatments have increased morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. New and effective antibiotics are needed to combat against bacterial resistance. Endophytic fungi are crucial reservoirs of novel bioactive metabolites. In particular, the secondary metabolites show promising therapeutic potential, notably, antibacterial. This review discussed the emerging potential of endophytic fungi as anti-MRSA agents. The ecological sources of endophytic fungi were discussed with the synthesis of bioactive metabolites. The mode of antibacterial actions was elucidated to give a better understanding of the mechanisms involved. This review may serve as an important reference for future discovery and developments of anti-MRSA agents from endophytic fungi.

  • Recently, Many deliveries have sprung up and those are beginning to receive much attention from consumers. Like this, the application makes our lives more comfortable. Now, the delivery food application uses only static information of the user and the users only makes oder. In this thesis, however, the studies suggested that designed food application uses the user's location for mesuring a distance of delivery and estimated arrival time is displayed in the delivery application and The application provides a graphical view of the location of the user in real time.

  • This paper examines both MRP and JIT for reducing WIP(Work In Process). The MRP/JIT system is suitable for multi-model, small-production manufacturing comparies in Korea because of the short delivery distance and low risk of accident during delivery. The objective of this paper is to manage vendors effectively by informing supply points and quantity of parts of vendors with MRP and JIT.

  • This paper considers the vehicle routing problem taking account of not only delivery but pick-up at the same time. A mathematical formulation is presented for finding the route which satisfies all the demands of customers and enables picking up most containers without exceeding the capacity of the vehicle. A table comparing traveling distance and the pick-up amount is provided by using heuristic method, which will be of help to the decision makers.

  • The main purpose of the study is to identify the key aspects of the use of innovative distance learning technologies in the training of biology students. Currently, there is a modernization, the evolution of the education system from a classical university to a virtual one, from lecture material teaching to computer educational programs, from a book library to a computer one, from multi-volume paper encyclopedias to modern search databases. During studies in higher education, distance learning ensures the delivery of information in an interactive mode through the use of information and communication technologies. The main disadvantage of distance learning is the emotional interaction of the teacher with students. It is necessary to increase the level of methodological developments for independent studies of students. The methodology includes a number of theoretical methods. Based on the results of the study, the main elements of the use of innovative distance learning technologies in the training of biology students were identified.

  • In this paper, the influencing factors for the decision of the embankment construction method utilizing geotextile tube were studied by analyzing the application and economic considerations based on the construction practices of the geotextile tube filled with dredged soil in the domestic and international. In the domestic case, cost savings of 40 to 50% is attained by applying geotextile tubes in the embankment construction and in the international case, the amount of quarry materials was reduced from 20 to 70% by replacing the core of the embankment with geotextile tube. As a result, utilization of geotextile tube filled with dredged soil should be considered in a very large construction site with a quarry-to-site delivery distance of more than 16~25km. The construction scale and delivery distance were found to be important influencing factors for the decision of the embankment construction method utilizing geotextile tube filled with dredged soil.

  • RFID (radio frequency identification) systems, recently being used in a wide range of areas, are vulnerable to relay attack from malicious attackers. For that reason, Brands, et al. proposed a certification protocol between a certifier and a verifier based on the concept of distance-bounding, and in addition Hancke et al. introduced the concept of RFID. However, the delivery of tag IDs, one of the main RFID features, is not still available, and there are two important demerits: anonymity in the delivery of tag IDs suggested by Kim et al. and inefficiency in finding a tag ID with regard to how to check errors which may occur in the process of data exchange between readers and tags. Therefore, this study proposes a protocol that meets the requirements of tag anonymity and location untraceability, has resistance to errors which may take place in the phase of tag data exchange, and is very efficient in finding tag IDs.

  • Products companies, which manufactures finished goods with modular parts, will expect that the proper parts should be delivered to assembly line not only just in time (JIT) but also just in sequence (JIS) and also expect that faulty goods will not be produced due to the delivery of wrong parts. In order to satisfy the above requirements, recently Smart Pallet based Parts Delivery system (SPPD) was proposed. SPPD system can overcome the drawback of bar code based part delivery system in which much time for checking proper and in sequence parts is wasted due to labors' working in hand as well as the drawback of RFID based part delivery system in which recognition distance of RFID is very limited. In the paper, a PDA system is proposed and further implemented to maximize the efficiency of SPPD's operation as well as to manage the limited power of smart pallets efficiently.
