The flexors and extensors of the knee joint are essential for maintaining body stability. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between the isokinetic parameters of the knee flexor and extensor muscles and the function of the lower extremity muscles. Twenty-two healthy adults participated in this study. The time to peak torque (TTP), acceleration time (AT), and peak torque (PT) of the knee flexor and extensor muscles were measured. A 20m sprint, Sargent jump, one leg hop test, and side shuffle were measured to evaluate lower extremity function. The correlation between each variable was analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient. PT of the knee flexor showed a significant correlation with single leg hops and 6M hops in a single leg. PT of knee extensors was found to be significantly correlated with Sargent jumps and triple hops. Based on the results of this study, we suggest that the strength of the knee flexor and extensor muscles has the potential to be used to predict lower extremity function.

A concept of deadlock point of fuzzy sequential circuit is proposed. There are six cases of fuzzy sequential circuits of 1 state and 1 input variables with deadlock points. Examples of each case are shown both in a form of characteristic equation and in a graphical illustration. As fuzzy sequential circuit with 1 state and 1 input variables, D and T fuzzy flip-Hops are also characterized using the proposed concept. Thus one of the four types of D fuzzy Hip-Hops and T fuzzy Hip-flop have a deadlock point 1/2.

The Web Services infrastructure is a distributed computing environment for service-sharing. Mechanisms for Web services Discovery proposed so far have assumed a centralized and peer-to-peer (P2P) registry. A discovery service with centralized architecture, such as UDDI, restricts the scalability of this environment, induces performance bottleneck and may result in single points of failure. A discovery service with P2P architecture enables a scalable and an efficient ubiquities web service discovery service that needs to be run in self-organized fashions. In this paper, we propose an autonomic -interleaving Registry Overlay Network (RgON) that enables web-services' providers/consumers to publish/discover services' advertisements, WSDL documents. The RgON, doubtless empowers consumers to discover web services associated with these advertisements within constant D logical hops over constant K physical hops with reasonable storage and bandwidth utilization as shown through simulation.

This paper presents a complete analysis for the derivation of the probability of error for a fast (or multiple-hops per bit) frequency hopping spread spectrum system employing binary FSK modulation and noncoherent reception in the presence of partial-band noise jamming and thermal noise. The worst-case error rate performances were obtained numerically and presented as a function of E /N with L as a parameter, where E /N and L are the signal bit energy-to-jamiming density ratio and the number of hops per bit, respectively.

Compared to legacy frequency hopping communications, future radio communications are required the secure and high data rate, ad-hoc network communication. In this paper, we have designed the network communication structure on the frequency hopping mode, and analyzed the performance of synchronization on the frequency hopping network radio systems. The design results are shown the initial sync. phase of approximately 9 hops and the traffic packet phase of approximately 30 hops. Also, we have simulated the performance on the communication conditions which are carrier bandwidth of 50kHz, user data rate of 64kbps and OQPSK modulation scheme in AWGN. In the simulation, we analyzed the correlation and the performance of synchronization success. The result of simulation show 99% probability for synchronization success at $E_b/N_o$ -4dB.

For dual-hop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) decode-and-forward relaying systems, we propose a selective relaying scheme that uses orthogonal space-time block code (OSTBC) and transmit antenna selection with maximal-ratio combining (TAS/MRC) or vice versa at the first and second hops, respectively. The aim is to achieve an asymptotically identical performance to the dual-hop relaying system with only TAS/MRC, while requiring lower feedback overhead. In particular, we give the selection criteria based on the antenna configurations and the average channel powers for the first and second hops, assuming Rayleigh fading channels. Also, the numerical results are shown for the outage performance comparison between the dual-hop DF relaying systems with the proposed scheme, only TAS/MRC, and only OSTBC.

In this paper, we propose a new prioritized Optical Burst Switching (OBS) protocol based on a hop count, which can provide an efficient utilization in optical Wireless networks. Under several legacy schemes, a switch drops the burst with a shorter time among ones regardless of its traversed hop count. As a result, the dropped burst that have been traversed more hops might cause to waste bandwidth than the one traversed a few hops. Noting that this problem, we propose the Just Enough Time(JET) with a hop count scheme which can reduce the wasted bandwidth by prioritizing the burst traversed more hops over others. From the simulation result, we show that the proposed scheme is advantageous over the legacy schemes in terms of the burst blocking probability and the link utilization.

To minimize energy consumption, most of MAC Protocols in WSNs exploit low duty cycling. Among those, RMAC [4] allows a node to transmit a data packet for multiple hops in a single duty cycle, which is made possible by exploiting a control frame named Pioneer (PION) in setting up the path. In this paper, we present a MAC Protocol called Hop Extended MAC (HE-MAC) that transmits the data packet for more multiple hops in a single duty cycle. It employs an EXP (Explorer) frame to set up the multiple hop transmission, which contains the information of the maximum hop that a packet can be transmitted. With the use of the information in EXP and an internal state of Ready to Receive (RTR), HEMAC extends the relay of the packet beyond the termination of the data period by two more hops compared to RMAC. Along with our proposed adaptive sleeping method, it also reduces power consumption and handles heavy traffic efficiently without experiencing packet inversion observed in RMAC. We analytically obtain the packet delivery latency in HE-MAC and evaluate the performance through ns-2 simulations. Compared to RMAC, HE-MAC achieves 14% less power consumption and 20% less packet delay on average for a random topology of 300 nodes.

In dual-hop relaying systems, the conventional partial relay selection is based on the channel information only for the first hop. On the other hand, the efficient partial relay selection is based on the channel information for the hop with the minimum of the average channel powers for the first and second hops at each end-to-end link since the correlation coefficient between the end-to-end link quality and the link quality of the hop with the minimum of the average channel powers for the first and second hops is larger than that between the end-to-end link quality and the link quality of the other hop. In this paper, the outage probability of the conventional partial relay selection and the efficient partial relay selection in dual-hop decode-and-forward relaying systems is analyzed for non-identically distributed Rayleigh fading channels. Through numerical investigation, the outage performance of the efficient partial relay selection is compared with the outage performances of the conventional partial relay selection and the best relay selection based on all the channel information for the first and second hops.

In Mobile Ad-hoc Networks, previous routing protocols classified into proactive and reactive approach respectively have pros and cons under the use of applications and environment. Moreover, to integrate their advantages in case by case, hybrid approach is consistently researched, and Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP) was motivating many recent hybrid protocols. ZRP uses proactive routing to the node located within the zone defined by the specific number of hops, while it uses reactive routing to other nodes. However, in ZRP, because proactive routing is applied only within the zone defined by the number of hops, the zone is formed regardless of whether real data communication occurred frequently or not. In this paper, we propose a new hybrid routing scheme which employs the zone method but forms customized zone considering traffic load and number of hops, by a new decision method named Dynamic Zone Decision (DZD). Additionally, we analyze the performance of the proposed scheme, comparing with the previous proactive, reactive, and hybrid routings.
