Objective: To evaluate the relationships between lymph node ratio (LNR, the ratio of positive lymph nodes in excised axillary lymph nodes) and disease-free survival (DFS) by comparing with traditional absolute positive lymph node number (pN classification) for prediction of breast cancer (BC) progrnosis. Methods and Patients: We retrospectively reviewed patients who received comprehensive therapy in Department of Breast Surgery, Hubei Cancer Hospital, China from Jan 2002 to Dec 2006 (Group A), and Department of Breast and Thyroid Surgery, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, China from Jun 2008 to May 2012 (Group B). Patients were allocated to low-risk (${\leq}0.20$), intermediate-risk (> 0.20 but ${\leq}0.65$), high-risk (>0.65) groups by LNR. The primary endpoint was 5-DFS. Results: A total of 294 patients were included in our study. LNR was verified as a negative prognostic factor for DFS (P=0.002 in Group A, P<0.0001 in Group B). Then we found the effects of pN and LNR delamination on disease-free survival (DFS) had statistical significance (P=0.012 for pN and P=0.031 for LNR stratification in Group A, both of them P<0.001 in Group B). Compared to pN staging, LNR staging displayed superior performance in prognosis, the adjusted hazard ratio of recurrence being 2.07 (95%CI, 1.07 to 4.0) for intermediate risk group (P=0.030) and 2.44 (95%CI, 1.21 to 4.92) for high risk group (P=0.013) in Group A. Conclusions: LNR stratification proved an adverse prognostic factor of DFS in lymph nodes positive invasive BC using cut-off values 0.20 and 0.65, and was more predictive than traditional pN classification for 5-DFS.

본 논문에서는 유비쿼터스 환경에서 OTP가 적용된 Diffie-Hellman 방식을 이용하여 노드간 키를 전달할 때 타임스탬프의 시간 차이를 이용하여 악의적인 노드를 검출할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 방식들은 정확한 시간 동기화나 방향성 안테나를 이용한 방법으로 악의의 노드 검출을 시도하였다. 본 논문에서는 방향성 안테나 추가 혹은 제 3 신뢰기관(TTP) 없이 타임스탬프를 이용한 OTP를 Diffie-Hellman 방식에 적용하여 중간의 악의노드 검출 방법을 제안하고 이에 대한 안전성을 검증한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 유비쿼터스 환경에서도 쉽게 적용이 가능한 방법이다.

Network coding (NC) is a promising technology that can improve available bandwidth and packet throughput in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Sliding window is an improved technology of NC, which is a supplement of TCP/IP technology and can improve data throughput and network lifetime on WSNs. This paper proposes a network coding-based maximum lifetime algorithm for sliding window in WSNs (NC-MLSW) which improves the throughput and network lifetime in WSN. The packets on the source node are sent on the WSNs. The intermediate node encodes the received original packet and forwards the newly encoded packet to the next node. Finally, the destination node decodes the received encoded data packet and recovers the original packet. The performance of the NC-MLSW algorithm is studied using NS2 simulation software and the network packet throughput, network lifetime and data packet loss rate were evaluated. The simulations experiment results show that the NC-MLSW algorithm can obviously improve the network packet throughput and network lifetime.

Existing symmetric cryptography-based solutions against pollution attacks for network coding systems suffer various drawbacks, such as highly complicated key distribution and vulnerable security against collusion. This letter presents a novel homomorphic subspace message authentication code (MAC) scheme that can thwart pollution attacks in an efficient way. The basic idea is to exploit the combination of the symmetric cryptography and linear subspace properties of network coding. The proposed scheme can tolerate the compromise of up to r-1 intermediate nodes when r source keys are used. Compared to previous MAC solutions, less secret keys are needed for the source and only one secret key is distributed to each intermediate node.

Topology optimization has been widely used in many research areas due to its ability in providing intial designs for the problems with complex boundary conditions. This also has been useful in compliant mechanisms, but resulting layouts may not be immediately manufacturable because they usually consist of members with varying widths and shapes. Also, there occurs some numerical difficulties such as checkerboards or hinge patterns which result from 1-node connection, and intermediate values which make the manufacturing of the designed structure difficult. Though there are many remedies given to avoid this problems, they cannot be prevented. One may avoid this difficulty by employing uniform ground beams and explicit hinge joints. The proposed method is to connect uniform ground beams with elastic short-beam hinge joints. By choosing the widths of short beams as design variables, dominant deformations can occur mainly by flexible joints having intermediate widths. Unlike the conventional methods used for compliance minimization, intermediate widths must appear in compliant mechanism design problems. Also, the present approach does not encounter the problem of one-point hinges.

무선 센서 노드들은 개방된 환경에서 동작하기 때문에 외부의 물리적인 공격에 매우 취약하다. 공격자는 노드들을 훼손시켜서 센서 네트워크에 허위 보고서를 주입시킬 수 있다. 이러한 공격들은 센서 노드들의 에너지를 고갈시킨다. 이에 대응하는 보안 기법으로 Ye등은 중간 노드가 일정한 확률로 보고서를 검증하는 통계적 여과 기법을 제안하였다. 통계적 여과 기법은 모든 중간 노드가 같은 확률로 보고서 검증을 수행한다. 따라서 정상 보고서와 허위 보고서를 검증하는데 같은 에너지가 소모 되므로 정상 보고서를 검증하는데 불필요한 에너지를 소모하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 각 중간 노드가 보고서 검증 시도 확률을 조절하여 센서 노드들의 에너지 소모량을 줄이는 기법을 제안한다. 보고서 검증 시도 확률은 한 노드의 잔여 에너지양, 현재 노드에서 기지 노드까지의 홉 수, 허위 보고서의 비율에 의해 결정된다. 보고서 검증 시도 확률을 조절하여 통계적 여과 기법과 비슷한 보안성을 유지하면서 에너지의 효율성을 높일 수 있다.

본 논문은 무선 애드혹 네트워크에서 신뢰성이 보장되는 데이터 전송을 위해 다중 경로를 설정하는 노드분리 경로문제를 해결하기 위한 강화학습을 제안한다. 노드분리 경로문제는 소스와 목적지사이에 중간 노드가 중복되지 않게 다수의 경로를 결정하는 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 기계학습 중 하나인 강화학습에서 Q-러닝을 사용하여 노드의 수가 많은 대규모의 무선 애드혹 네트워크에서 전송거리를 고려한 최적화 방법을 제안한다. 특히 대규모의 무선 애드혹 네트워크에서 노드분리 경로 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 많은 계산량이 요구되지만 제안된 강화학습은 효율적으로 경로를 학습함으로써 적절한 결과를 도출한다. 제안된 강화학습의 성능은 2개의 노드분리경로를 설정하기 위한 전송거리 관점에서 평가되었으며, 평가 결과에서 기존에 제안된 시뮬레이티드 어널링과 비교평가하여 전송거리면에서 더 좋은 성능을 보였다.

The authors apply the transfer influence coefficient method to the 3-dimensional vibration analysis of beam with multi-joints and formulate a general algorithm to analysis the longitudinal, flexural and torsional coupled free vibration. In this paper, the structure, which is mainly founded in the robot arms, cranes and so on, has some crooked parts, subsystems and joints but has no closed loop in this system. It is modeled as the beam of a distributed mass system with massless translational, rotational and torsional springs in each node, and joint elements of release or roll at which node the displacement vector is discontinuous. The superiorty of the present method to the transfer matrix method in the computation accuracy was confirmed by the numerical computation results. Moreover, we confirmed that boundary and intermediate conditions could ve controlled by varying the values o the spring constants.
