The authors studied 5 cases of idiopathic CNS hypersomnia who visited Division of Sleep Studies, Seoul National University Hospital in 1995. Detailed medical history was taken and nocturnal polysomnography(NPSG), multiple sleep latency test(MSLT) and human leukocyte antigen(HLA) typing were performed. Neither cataplexy nor hypnagogic hallucination was reported in all cases and in NPSGs, there were tendencies of increased sleep period time and decreased slow wave sleep time. In MSLT, all the subjects showed average sleep latencies less than 8 minutes without sleep-onset rapid eye movement period(SOREMP). In HLA typing, some correlation between idiopathic CNS hypersomnia and HLA DR4 was observed. In contrast to previous reports, overall treatment response with methylphenidate was remarkable. Therefore, the authors suggest that patients suspected of idiopathic CNS hypersomnia be actively evaluated and treated with rather optimistic perspective.

우선 순위 기반 MAC프로토콜에서 경쟁이 심한 경쟁접근구간은 더 많은 수의 충돌 및 재전송을 초래할 수 있다. 경쟁접근구간 동안 우선순위가 높은 트래픽은 우선순위가 낮은 트래픽을 지배하여 우선 순위가 낮은 트래픽이 고갈되어 WBAN 처리량, 지연 및 에너지 소비에 악영향을 미친다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 우선 순위가 낮은 트래픽에 대한 공정한 기회를 제공하기 위해 경쟁접근구간에서 경쟁을 줄이는 응급데이터-퍼스트-우선 순위 MAC(: EFP-MAC) 슈퍼 프레임 구조를 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안 된 EFP-MAC이 IEEE 802.15.4 표준에 비해 낮은 에너지 소비, 높은 처리량 및 낮은 대기 시간을 달성함을 보인다.

The recent advances in wireless communication systems and semiconductor technologies are paving the way for new applications over wireless sensor networks. Health-monitoring application (HMA) is one such emerging technology that is focused on sensing and reporting human vital signs through the communication network comprising sensor devices in the vicinity of the human body. The sensed vital signs can be divided into two categories based on the importance and the frequency of occurrence: occasional emergency signs and regular normal signs. The occasional emergency signs are critical, so they have to be delivered by the specified deadlines, whereas the regular normal signs are non-critical and are only required to be delivered with best effort. Handling the occasional emergency sign is one of the most important attributes in HMA because a human life may depend on correct handling of the situation. That is why the underlying network protocol suite for HMA should ensure that the emergency signs will be reported in a timely manner. However, HMA based on IEEE 802.15.4 might not be able to do so owing to the lack of an appropriate emergency-handling mechanism. Hence, in this paper, we propose a new emergency-handling mechanism to reduce the emergency reporting delay in IEEE 802.15.4 through the modified superframe structure. A fraction of an inactive period is modified into three new periods called the emergency reporting period, emergency beacon period, and emergency transmission period, which are used opportunistically only for immediate emergency reporting and reliable data transmission. Extensive simulation is performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme. The results reveal that the proposed scheme achieves improved latency and higher emergency packets delivery ratio compared with the conventional IEEE 802.15.4 MAC.

The purpose of this experiment was to examine the histological changes and the pattern of expression of type I, II collagen in the elongated area by distraction osteogenesis in the rabbit mandible. Sixteen rabbits weighing 2.5kg-3kg were used for this experiment. Experimental group was distracted at the rate of 0.7mm, twice/day for 7days, and control group was only osteotomized. After 5 days latency, osteotomic site is distracted for 7days. Consolidation period is 28days. The animal was sacrificed at the 3rd, 7th, 14th, 28th day after the operation. The distracted bone was examined by histological analysis and RT-PCR analysis. The results were summarized as follows: 1. Experimental group was observed that the gaps between the distracted bone edges were occupied by new bone. 2. Expression of Type I collagen were detected throughout the experiment in both groups and Expression of Type I collagen were markedly increased during distraction and consolidation period in experimental group than control group. 3. Expression of Type II collagen were detected throughout the experiment in both groups and expression of Type II collagen were maintained at high level during distraction and consolidation period in experimental group than control group. From these results, in contrast to type II collagen, type I collagen seemed to be more expressed by mechanical stimuli during distraction and consolidation period. The predominent mechanism of new bone formation in the distraction gap was intramembranous bone formation, but some of the regenerated bone was formed by endochondral ossification.

본 논문에서는 이동노드의 글로벌 이동성을 제공하기 위한 방법으로 AAA(Authentication, Authorization and Account) 서비스 기반의 보안 인증 모델을 정의하고 AAA 인증 절차에서 발생하는 서비스 지연 시간을 최소화하기 위해 Mobile IP 작업 그룹에서 정의하고 있는 Fast Handoff를 적용하였다. 즉, 이동노드의 로밍이 발생하는 경우 Fast Handoff 절차가 진행되면서 동시에 AAA 인증 절차를 수 행함으로써 이동노드 인증 시간을 줄이고 신속한 로밍 및 서비스 제공이 가능하도록 하였다. IPsec (Internet Protocol Security), RR(Return Routability), AAA를 기반으로 한 기존의 방식들은 이동노드의 Layer2 Handoff가 성공적으로 처리된 후에 발생하는 인증 절차를 정의하고 있는데 이 절차가 수행되는 동안은 이동 노드의 서비스가 지연되므로 실시간, 고품질의 서비스를 만족하기 위해서는 이를 줄일 수 있는 방안이 연구되어야 한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법은 이러한 목적을 만족하기 위한 것으로써 제안된 방식을 사용했을 때 Layer2 Handoff 전에 이동 노드가 FBACK(Fast Binding Acknowledge) 메시지를 받은 경우 최대 55%, 받지 못한 경우 최대 17%의 성능 향상을 보인다.

본 연구에서는 모바일 단말에서 재생되는 동영상 서비스의 끊김 현상을 방지할 수 있는 최적의 버퍼 크기를 산정하고자 한다. 버퍼는 VOD서비스를 위해 수신 단말에 도착한 멀티미디어 패킷의 저장 공간을 의미한다. 만약 버퍼 크기가 너무 크면, 재생 서비스 시작 전의 지연시간이 길어지게 된다. 반대로 버퍼 크기가 너무 작은 경우, 수신 단말에 도착한 패킷의 부족으로 재생 서비스가 중간에 멈출 수 있다. 그러므로 적정 버퍼 크기는 모바일 단말에서의 재생 서비스 품질 척도가 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 재생 서비스의 버퍼링 과정을 이산시간 대기행렬로 모델링한다. N정책을 갖는 Geo/G/1 대기행렬에서 바쁜기간의 평균길이와 평균 대기시간을 분석한다. 또한 도출된 성능척도를 이용하여 모바일 단말에서의 최적의 버퍼 크기를 결정하는 수치예제를 제시한다. 본 연구 결과를 이용하여 재생 도중의 끊김 현상 방지와 재생 시작 초기의 지연시간 최소화를 달성하여 이용자 만족도를 높일 수 있을 것이다.

본 논문은 Delay Tolerant Network(DTN)에서 유동 밀도를 사용해 메시지 확산을 억제하는 DDIM(Dynamic Density-based Inhibited Message diffusion) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존 Epidemic 라우팅 알고리즘이나 Spray and Wait 라우팅 알고리즘과 같은 DTN 라우팅 알고리즘은 메시지의 전송률을 높이기 위해 소스 노드와 이웃하는 모든 노드들에게 메시지를 복사한다. 하지만 노드 밀도가 높은 네트워크에서 기존 DTN 라우팅 알고리즘을 사용할 경우 불필요한 메시지 복사로 많은 오버헤드가 발생한다. 제안하는 DDIM 알고리즘은 효율적인 메시지 복사 수를 결정하기 위해 노드 전송 범위와 이웃 노드 수를 활용하여 동적 노드 밀도를 계산한다. 또한 불필요한 메시지 확산을 억제하여 전송률 손실과 지연 시간의 증가 없이 오버헤드를 감소시킨다. 주어진 모의실험을 통해 제안하는 DDIM 알고리즘과 기존 DTN 라우팅 알고리즘의 전송률, 지연시간, 오버헤드를 비교하고 제안하는 알고리즘이 더 효율적임을 검증한다.

In wireless sensor networks, a node that reports information gathered from adjacent assets should relay packets appropriately so that its location context is kept private, and thereby helping ensure the security of the assets that are being monitored. Unfortunately, existing routing methods that counter the local eavesdropping-based tracing deal with a single asset, and most of them suffer from the packet-delivery latency as they prefer to take a separate path of many hops for each packet being sent. In this paper, we propose a routing method, greedy perimeter stateless routing-based source-location privacy with crew size w (GSLP-w), that enhances location privacy of the packet-originating node (i.e., active source) in the presence of multiple assets. GSLP-w is a hybrid method, in which the next-hop node is chosen in one of four modes, namely greedy, random, perimeter, and retreat modes. Random forwarding brings the path diversity, while greedy forwarding refrains from taking an excessively long path and leads to convergence to the destination. Perimeter routing makes detours that avoid the nodes near assets so that they cannot be located by an adversary tracing up the route path. We study the performance of GSLP-w with respect to crew size w (the number of packets being sent per path) and the number of sources. GSLP-w is compared with phantom routing-single path (PR-SP), which is a notable routing method for source-location privacy and our simulation results show that improvements from the point of the ratio of safety period and delivery latency become significant as the number of source nodes increases.

The usage and types of chemicals being developed, with diversified new exposure of workers, are of natural concern to occupational disease. In Korea, with industrialization, application of many chemicals has increased. A large proportion of mortality and disease is due to cancer, and the causal hazardous agents include chemical agents, like heavy metals and so on. Due to the long latency period with malignancies and the fact they are usually found after workers' retirement, it is suggested that management policies must be established to prevent occupational cancers occurring among workers in Korea. To give a general description about the efforts to prevent the occupational cancer with exposure to chemicals, articles on the trends of occupational cancers were reviewed and summarized with related research and efforts for prevention in Korea. It is important to improve the understanding of occupational cancer and help to maintain sustainable and appropriate measures to guarantee workers safety and health.

This paper proposes a dynamic IP address configuration (DAC) scheme for mSCTP handover, which exploits the information from the link layer to support SCTP handover between heterogeneous access networks. The proposed DAC scheme enables a mobile terminal to automatically add a new IP address in the newly visited region, change the primary path, and delete the old IP address so as to support the mSCTP handover. For experimental analysis of mSCTP handover, we consider the handover scenarios for 3G-BWA and 3G-WLAN over Linux platforms. From experimental results, it is shown that the throughput and handover latency of the mSCTP handover would be affected by the timing of primary-change and the overlapping period.
