It is well known that trigeminal nerve injury causes hyperexcitability in trigeminal ganglion neurons, which become sensitized. Long after trigeminal nerve damage, trigeminal spinal subnucleus caudalis and upper cervical spinal cord (C1/C2) nociceptive neurons become hyperactive and are sensitized, resulting in persistent orofacial pain. Communication between neurons and non-neuronal cells is believed to be involved in these mechanisms. In this article, the authors highlight several lines of evidence that neuron-glial cell and neuron macrophage communication have essential roles in persistent orofacial pain mechanisms associated with trigeminal nerve injury and/or orofacial inflammation.

In this paper, we proposed new speech feature parameter through parts-based feature extraction of speech spectrum using Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF). NMF can effectively reduce dimension for multi-dimensional data through matrix factorization under the non-negativity constraints, and dimensionally reduced data should be presented parts-based features of input data. For speech feature extraction, we applied Mel-scaled filter bank outputs to inputs of NMF, than used outputs of NMF for inputs of speech recognizer. From recognition experiment result, we could confirm that proposed feature parameter is superior in recognition performance than mel frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) that is used generally.

WSN acts as an effective tool for tracking the large scale environments. In such environment, the battery life of the sensor networks is limited due to collection of the data, usage of sensing, computation and communication. To resolve this, a mobile robot is presented to identify the data present in the partitioned sensor networks and passed onto the sink. In novel data collection algorithm, the performance of the data collecting operation is reduced because mobile robot can be used only within the limited range. To enhance the data collection in a changing environment, Non Linear Error Identifier (NLEI) algorithm has been developed and presented in this paper to configure the robot by means of error models which are non-linear. Experimental evaluation has been conducted to estimate the performance of the proposed NLEI and it has been observed that the proposed NLEI algorithm increases the error correction rate upto 42% and efficiency upto 60%.

Existing domestic ink market had some problem because of dependence on CPP import, increasing cost, competitive price. For this reason, previous speed of research and developments are very slow. Therefore, develop the new waterborne type of non-chlorine resin, enhance the nation's position with manufacturing outstanding products. Through this thesis, the purpose is mix the polar resin and non-chlorine resin with many proportion and manufacturing better product than existing resin. Pilot production samples have run the test of adhesion, transparency, water resist and resist high pressure car washing. In conclusion, this thesis found that mix acryl Urethane resin and Non-Chlorine resin is the optimum condition.

3D-IC is a novel semiconductor packaging technique stacking dies to improve the performance as well as the overall size. TSV is ideal for 3D-IC because it is convenient for stacking and excellent in electrical characteristics. However, due to high-density and micro-size of TSVs, they should be tested with a non-invasive manner. Thus, we introduce a TSV test method on test prober without a direct contact in this paper. A capacitive coupling effect between a probe tip and TSV is used to discriminate small TSV faults like voids and pin-holes. Through EM simulation, we can verify the size of eye-patterns with various frequencies is good for TSV test tools and non-contact test will be promising.

A method using two dimension Haar functions approximation for solving the problem of a partial differential equation and estimating the parameters of a non-linear distributed parameter system (DPS) is presented. The applications of orthogonal functions, including Haar functions, and their transforms have been given much attention in system control and communication engineering field since 1970's. The Haar functions set forms a complete set of orthogonal rectangular functions similar in several respects to the Walsh functions. The algorithm adopted in this paper is that of estimating the parameters of non-linear DPS by converting and transforming a partial differential equation into a simple algebraic equation. Two dimension Haar functions approximation method is introduced newly to represent and solve a partial differential equation. The proposed method is supported by numerical examples for demonstration the fast, convenient capabilities of the method.

In this paper, we use scratch to design and develop non-formal learning experiences that are linked with contents of secondary science textbook to educational programs. The goal of this paper is to develop a convenient and interesting program for non-formal learning in a learning environment using various smart device. Theoretical approaches to mobile education, such as smartphones, and smart education support policies continue to lead to various research efforts. Although most of the smart education systems developed for students who have difficulty in academic performance are utilized, they are limited to general students. To solve the problem, the learning environment was implanted by combining the scratch, which is an educational programming that can be easily written. The science education program proposed in this paper shows the result of process of programming using ICT device using scratch programming. In the evaluation stage, we were able to display the creations and evaluate each other, so that we could refine them more by sharing the completed ideas.

In this paper, to improve further the bit-error rate (BER) performance of the stronger channel user in non-uniform source non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) with symmetric superposition coding (SSC), we propose a smart bit-to-symbol (BTS) mapping of SSC. First, the analytical expression for the total allocated power of the proposed BTS mapping scheme is derived, and then we show that the BER of the proposed BTS mapping scheme improves further, compared to that of the existing BTS mapping scheme. Moreover, based on the simulations, the signal-to-noise (SNR) gain of the proposed BTS mapping scheme over the existing BTS mapping scheme is calculated. In result, the proposed BTS mapping could be a candidate scheme for non-uniform source SSC NOMA with the SNR gain.

This paper proposes robust source localization methods for estimating the azimuth angle, elevation angle, velocity, and range using a low-complexity planar antenna array in impulsive non-Gaussian noise environments. The proposed robust source localization methods for wireless communication applications are based on nonlinear M-estimation provided from Huber and Hampel. Simulation results show the robustness performance of the proposed robust methods in impulsive non-Gaussian noise.

In this paper, the optimal power control problem in a cooperative relay network is investigated and a new power control scheme is proposed based on a non-cooperative differential game. Optimal power allocated to each node for a relay is formulated using the Nash equilibrium in this paper, considering both the throughput and energy efficiency together. It is proved that the non-cooperative differential game algorithm is applicable and the optimal power level can be achieved.
