Zoning technology of disk improved the performance of disk subsystem with increase of storage capacity and average transfer bandwidth. SCAN disk scheduling with double buffering is used to utilize the performance of zoned disk in multimedia system. However, this method has a problem that generates jitter when the number of steams increases. In this article, we propose the novel approach, pre-buffering policy, to overcome this problem. Pre-buffering avoids jitter by buffering the lack of data before starting service, which is estimated from the current cycle length and the maximum cycle length. We can calculate cycle length, data sire needed in each cycle and the possible lack of data caused by the increase of the number of streams using the numerical model of disk subsystem. Pre-buffering can be applied for multimedia systems and contribute to provide clients with high quality service without jitter.

In this article, we present the novel approach of avoiding temporal insufficiency of data blocks, jitter, which occurs due to the commencement of new session. We propose to make the sufficient amount of data blocks available on memory such that the ongoing session can survive the cycle extension. This technique is called ″pre-buffering″. We examine two different approaches in pre-buffering: (i) loads all required data blocks prior to starting playback and (ii) incrementally accumulates the data blocks in each cycle. We develop an elaborate model to determine the appropriate amount of data blocks necessary to survive the cycle extension and to compute startup latency involved in loading these data blocks. The simulation result shows that limiting the disk bandwidth utilization to 60% can greatly improve the startup latency as well as the buffer requirement for individual streams.

In Mobile IP-enabled wireless LAN (WLAN), packet flows are corrupted due to the handoff of a mobile node (MN) at the link and network layers, which results in burst packet losses and can cause temporary buffer underflow in a streaming client at the MN. This transient behavior hurts time-sensitive streaming media applications severely. Among many suggestions to address this handoff problem, few studies are concerned with empirical issues regarding the practical validation of handoff options on the time-sensitive streaming media applications. In this paper, targeting seamless streaming over Mobile IP-enabled WLAN, we introduce a seamless media streaming framework that estimates accurate pre-buffering level to compensate the handoff latency. In addition, we propose a link-layer (L2) assisted seamless media streaming system as a preliminary version of this framework. The proposed system is designed to reduce the handoff latency and to overcome the playback disruption from an implementation viewpoint. A packet buffering and forwarding mechanism with L2 trigger is implemented to reduce the handoff latency and to eliminate burst packet losses generated during the handoff. A pre-buffering adjustment is also performed to compensate the handoff latency. The experimental results show that the proposed approach eliminates packet losses during the handoff and thus verify the feasibility of seamless media streaming over Mobile IP-enabled WLAN.

무선 통신 기술의 발전으로 무선망에서 멀티이디어 사용자의 수가 급격히 증가하고 있으며 서비스 질에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 하지만 모바일 컴퓨팅 환경에서는 무선 링크의 취약성과 사용자의 이동성으로 인해 연속 멀티미디어 스트리밍 서비스를 제공하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 핸드오프로 인한 지연이나 패킷 손실 없이 사용자에게 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공하기 위해서 지능형 버퍼링 핸드오프 프로토콜과 Pre-customization 기법을 제안한다. 지능형 버퍼링 핸드오프 프로토콜은 핸드오프 중에 모바일 호스트가 이동할 셀의 Basestation에 미리 패킷을 버퍼링하고 MH가 새로운 셀로 이동했을 때. 즉시 패킷을 전송할 수 있게 한다. 그리고 핸드오프 동안 Basestation은 Pre-Customization을 통해 미리 멀티미디어 데이터를 무선 링크 상태와 단말기 수용성. 사용자 선호도를 고려한 필터링을 항으로써 QoS 재협상 없이 서비스를 제공한다.

멀티미디어 시스템에서는 미디어 데이터의 연속성을 보장하는 것이 중요한 문제이다. 90년대에 제안된 구역분할 디스크에서 연속성을 보장하면서 멀티미디어를 효과적으로 저장, 전송하기 위하여 새로운 스케줄링 방식과 데이터 블록의 배치가 제안되었다. 이 방식은 구역을 순환하면서 데이터 블록을 배치시키고 SCAN 알고리즘으로 데이터를 읽어 들이는 방식이다. 이 경우 SCAN 알고리즘으로 데이터를 읽어 들이므로 이중 버퍼링(double buffering) 방법을 사용하게 된다. 이중 버퍼링의 데이터를 읽어 들이는 주기와 서비스 주기의 불일치성으로 인하여 새로운 스트림의 요청이 있을 때 기존의 서비스 스트림에 주기시간의 증가로 인한 데이터의 지연문제(jitter)가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 구역분할 디스크를 이용하는 비디오 서버에서 새로운 요구의 도착으로 인하여 발생하는 데이터 지연 문제(jitter)를 해결하기 위하여 선행 버퍼링이란 기법을 제시한다.

We propose a traffic flow control scheme of B-NT with temporary cell buffering and selective cell discarding to prevent congestion state of the network nodes in B-ISDN systems to reduce or suppress output cell strams towards T interface. We define the states of the network nodes as normal, pre-congestion, and congestion. In a pre-congestion state, the loss-sensitive traffic is temporarily buffered to slow down the rate of the output traffic streams. In a congestion state, the delay-sensitive traffic is selectively discarded to suppress the output traffic streams as possible in addition to the cell buffering. We model the input cell streams and the states of the network nodes with Interrupted Bernoulli Process and 3-state Markov chain to analyze the performance of the proposed scheme in the B-NT system. The appropriate size of the cell buffer is explored by means of simulation and the influence on the performance of the proposed scheme by the network node state is discussed. As results, more than 2,00 cells of buffer size is needed for the control of medium of lower than the medium, degree of congestion occurrence in the network node while the control of high degree of congestion occurrence is nearly impossible.

Background: The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of buffered and unbuffered local anesthesia solutions during inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) administration in children. Methods: PubMed, Ovid SP, and Cochrane databases were searched separately by two independent reviewers for potential papers published between 1980 and April 2020 using relevant MeSH terms and pre-specified inclusion and exclusion criteria. T Studies of IANB administration in children comparing buffered and unbuffered local anesthesia solutions were evaluated. The primary outcome evaluated was pain (perception and reaction), while the secondary outcome was the onset of anesthesia. Results: A total of five articles were included in a qualitative analysis; among them, four qualified for quantitative analysis of the primary outcome and three for quantitative analysis of the secondary outcome. A fixed-effects model was used to perform the meta-analysis. Pain perception (child-reported pain): Significantly lower pain scores were reported with buffered local anesthesia solution than with unbuffered solution (P = 0.006, MD: -0.32, 95% CI: -0.55 to -0.09). Pain reaction (observer-reported pain reaction in child): No significant difference was found between buffered and unbuffered solution in terms of observer-reported pain behavior in the child (P = 0.09, MD: -0.21, 95% CI: -0.46 to 0.04). Onset of anesthesia: A significantly lower duration of anesthesia onset was reported with buffered local anesthesia solution than with unbuffered solution (P = 0.00001, MD: -12.38, 95% CI: -17.64 to -7.13]. Conclusion: Buffering local anesthesia solution may reduce discomfort due to IANB injection administration and lower the initial onset time of anesthesia. More randomized control trials with adequate sample sizes should be carried out to validate the accuracy of these results.

When cationic basic compounds are chromatographed using hydro-organic mobile phase, the presence of anionic free silanols in the silica-based stationary phases results in broad and asymmetrical peaks. The addition of an ionic reagent to the mobile phase prevents analytes from accessing free silanols, improving peak shape. In this study, the chromatographic behavior of salbutamol sulfate as a basic compound was investigated under various conditions, including the use of different columns, mobile phases, and ion-pair reagents such as triethanolamine (TEA) and sodium heptane sulfonate (SHS). The retention and peak shape of chromatograms were both evaluated. The results show that pre-conditioning the column with TEA and including it in the mobile phase can prevent cationic analytes from accessing anionic silanols, resulting in improved peak shape. Furthermore, buffering the mobile phase is an important factor in keeping the pH constant throughout the process. The chosen method was validated in part. This study could be helpful for researchers and analyst to solve such problems with cationic basic components.

The popularity of short-form video platforms like TikTok has increased recently. Short-form videos are significantly shorter than traditional videos, and viewers regularly switch between different types of content to watch. Therefore, a successful prefetching strategy is essential for this novel type of video. This study provides a resource-effective prefetching technique for streaming short-form videos. The suggested solution dynamically adjusts the quantity of prefetched video data based on user viewing habits and network traffic conditions. The results of the experiments demonstrate that, in comparison to baseline approaches, our method may reduce data waste by 21% to 83%, start-up latency by 50% to 99%, and the total time of Re-buffering by 90% to 99%.

In this paper, we study a multicast transport technique for multimedia services of mobile hosts in wireless network environments. To reduce packet loss during hand-off, we propose a Pre-join scheme in overlapped area and a Buffering scheme in crossover routers. To support seamless service in real time multimedia application, these scheme use an optimal path routing which was provided in remote subscription scheme and a prediction scheme of host movements which was considered overlapped area. To evaluate the peformance of our scheme, we compare Bi-direction tunneling of mobile If, Remote subscription, and MoM by using NS-2. As a result, our scheme shows better performance in network overhead, packet loss and bandwidth's use than other schemes.
