With the development of ubiquitous sensor networks, the need for communication among mobile nodes has been increased. When the existing TCP is applied to MANET, link failure, route change and network partition make TCP recognize congestion. As a result, TCP shows a poor performance. In this paper, using cross-layer design a new TCP congestion control algorithm that is suitable for MANET is designed and analyzed with ns2.

This paper briefly reviews ITU-T recommendations associated with multi protocol label switch (MPLS) and Ethernet operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM). The broadband convergence network (BcN) architecture with a centralized network controller is introduced. An aggregation structure employing Ethernet, MPLS, and time division multiplexing (TDM) signal is presented for the BcN. A physical link failure scenario is examined to investigate how the maintenance signal is propagated between different layers.

A method is presented in this paper to analyze the dynamic response behavior of suspended building structures. The effect of semi-rigid connections that link suspended floors with their supporting structure on structural performance is investigated. The connections, like the restrains in non-structural suspended components, are designed as semi-rigid to avoid pounding and as energy dissipation components to reduce structural response. Parametric study is conducted to assess the dynamic characteristics of suspended building structures with varying connection stiffness and suspended mass ratios. Modal analysis is applied to identify the two distinct sets of vibration modes, pendulum and bearing, of a suspended building structure. The cumulative modal mass is discussed to ensure the accuracy in applying the method of response spectrum analysis by SRSS or CQC modal combination. Case studies indicate that a suspended building having semi-rigid connections and proper suspended mass ratios can avoid local pounding failure and reduce seismic response.

In this paper, we investigate the impacts of network topology on the performance of a distributed estimation algorithm, namely combine-then-adaptive (CTA) diffusion LMS, based on the data with or without the assumptions of temporal and spatial independence with noisy links. The study covers different network models, including the regular, small-world, random and scale-free whose the performance is analyzed according to the mean stability, mean-square errors, communication cost (link density) and robustness. Simulation results show that the noisy links do not cause divergence in the networks. Also, among the networks, the scale free network (heterogeneous) has the best performance in the steady state of the mean square deviation (MSD) while the regular is the worst case. The robustness of the networks against the issues like node failure and noisier node conditions is discussed as well as providing some guidelines on the design of a network in real condition such that the qualities of estimations are optimized.

In a large scale parallel computation, some processor or communication link failure results in a waste of huge amount of CPU hours. However, MPI in its current specification gives the user no possibility to handle such a problem. In this paper, we propose an application-level fault tolerant linear system solver by using an MPMD-type asynchronous iteration, purely on the basis of the MPI standard without using any non-standard fault-tolerant MPI library.

Mitochondrial disorders are rare metabolic diseases. They often present during neonatal period but with nonspecific clinical features such as feeding difficulties, failure to thrive, and seizures. Mitochondrial defects have also known to be associated with neurological disorders, as well as cancers. We report the first case of neonatal mitochondrial respiratory chain defect with sarcoma botryoides confirmed by pathologic diagnosis, suggesting another possible link between mitochondrial dysfunction and cancer.

In mobile ad-hoc networks(MANETs), nodes are mobile and network topology changes very frequently. The mobility of nodes does affect the system performance. There has been considerable attention on the mobility models, however, most work is confined to the simulation or test-bed. In this paper, we propose an analytical method to evaluate the performances of MANETs such as the average radio range dwell time of mobile nodes, link holding time, and transmission failure probability considering the node's mobility. In the proposed model, MANETs consist of the multi-hop and multicasting routing paths. A simulation is done to validate our proposed analytical model.

Sulfur-cured gum natural rubber vulcanizates were devulcanized using two different concentrations of diallyl disulfide. The devulcanization process was performed at $110^{\circ}C$ min in an open two-roll cracker-cum-mixing mill. Natural rubber vulcanizates having various sulfur/accelerator ratios were used to study the cleavage of monosulfide, disulfide, and polysulfide bonds. The properties of devulcanized natural rubber increased upon increasing the disulfide concentration and the mechanical properties of the revulcanized natural rubber increased upon decreasing the sulfur content in the original rubber vulcanizates. The scorch time and the maximum state of cure both increased when the ground vulcanizates were treated with higher amounts of disulfide. TGA and DMA were conducted to study the effects of the devulcanization on the thermal stability and the $T_g$ behavior of the vulcanizates. SEM analysis was conducted to study how the failure mechanism was affected by the devulcanization process. It was possible to recover $70-80\%$ of the original gum rubber properties by using this process. From IR spectroscopic analysis, we observed that the oxidation of the main chains did not occur during high-temperature milling.

Multicasting is the simultaneous transmission of data to multiple destinations. In multicast ATM networks the effect of failures on transmission links or nodes can be catastrophic so that the issue of survivability is of great importance. However little attention has been paid to the problem of multicast restoration. This paper presents an efficient heuristic technique for routing backup virtual paths in ulticast networks with link failure. Genetic algorithm is employed here as a heuristic. In the application of genetic algorithm to the problem, a new genetic encoding and decoding method and genetic operators are proposed in this paper. The other several heuristics are also presented in order to assess the performance of the proposed algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm is a promising approach to solving the problem.

대부분의 통신망 복구기법에서는 예상되는 손실에 대한 망 복구를 설계한다. 예를 들어 가장 자주 발생하는 단일 링크 손실의 경우에 대하여 100%의 복구를 보장하는 형태이다. 그러나, 예상되지 않은 손실, 즉 다중 링크의 손실과 같은 경우에는 이리 준비된 예비 자원을 가지고는 설계한대로 100% 복구를 수행할 수 없다. 이 경우에는 남아있는 예비 자원을 이용하여 손실된 트래픽의 일부만이라도 복구하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 두 개의 링크가 동시에 손실된 경우에 트래픽의 우선순위에 기반하여 여러 단계의 계층적인 복구 견고성을 제공하여, 최상위 우선순위의 트래픽에 대해서는 100%에 가까운 복구율을 제공하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 단일 링크의 손실에 대비한 예비 자원만을 할당하여 다중 링크 손실의 경우에도 높은 우선순위의 트래픽에 대하여 복구 견고성을 제공한다는 점에서 그 실효성이 크다.
