무선 메쉬 네트워크 기술은 유선과 유사한 전송속도를 갖는 무선망을 구축하는 기술을 의미하며, 유선 네트워크와 비교하여 보다 효율적인 망 구축의 편의성 및 유연성을 제공한다. 이러한 무선 메쉬 네트워크는 라우터 노드의 이동성이 적고 에너지 영향에도 제약이 적게 따른다는 특징을 갖고 있다. 그러나 다양한 종류의 네트워크로 구성되는 특징으로 인해서 다중 경로의 설정 및 선택 시에 발생할 수 있는 시스템 오버헤드 등 고려되어야 하는 사항들이 많다. 그러므로 이러한 네트워크 특성에 맞는 경로 설정 기술이 반영되는 네트워크의 설계 및 최적화에 주목할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 다중 경로 설정 시 발생 할 수 있는 문제에 효과적으로 대응하기 위해 라우터 노드의 트래픽 상황에 따른 데이터 손실률과 대역폭 및 링크의 흡수를 평가 요소로 활용하여 유전 알고리즘을 통한 동적 경로 설정에 대한 해결방법으로 무선 메쉬 네트워크의 라우팅 메트릭 기법을 제안한다.

최근 산업 및 연구 단체에서 이동 Ad-hoc 망에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 기존 연구들은 라우팅에 초점을 맞추고 있었던 것에 반해 본 논문에서는 이들 연구의 결과로 형성된 Ad-hoc망을 실제로 이용하기 위한 응용으로 가변 지오캐스팅 방법을 제안한다. 지오캐스팅 프로토콜 목적은 특별한 지오캐스팅영역(Geocasting region)에 위치한 노드들의 그룹에 패킷데이터(Geo-packet)를 전송하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 Ad-hoc 기반의 이동 네트워크 환경에서 지오캐스트 서비스를 지원하는 기존 연구의 데이터 전송경로의 비 최적화, 빈번한 지오캐스트 전송 트리의 재구성으로 인한 오버헤드(Overhead), 서비스 단절의 문제를 해결하기 위해 이동 형태 기반의 가변 지오캐스팅 기법을 제안한다. 가변 지오캐스팅 기법은 서비스 범위를 목적지 노드의 이동성(Mobility)에 따라 가변적으로 설정하고 자원예약 기법과 다양한 실험을 통해 본 논문에서 제안된 지오캐스트 기법을 성능 평가하였다.

In this paper, we first survey cross-layer architectures for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs). Afterwards, we propose a novel cross-layer architecture for QoS provisioning in clustered and multi-hop based WMSNs. The proposed architecture provides support for multiple network-based applications on a single sensor node. For supporting multiple applications on a single node, an area in memory is reserved where each application can store its network protocols settings. Furthermore, the proposed cross-layer architecture supports heterogeneous flows by classifying WMSN traffic into six traffic classes. The architecture incorporates a service differentiation module for QoS provisioning in WMSNs. The service differentiation module defines the forwarding behavior corresponding to each traffic class. The forwarding behavior is primarily determined by the priority of the traffic class, moreover the service differentiation module allocates bandwidth to each traffic class with goals to maximize network utilization and avoid starvation of low priority flows. The proposal incorporates the congestion detection and control algorithm. Upon detection of congestion, the congested node makes an estimate of the data rate that should be used by the node itself and its one-hop away upstream nodes. While estimating the data rate, the congested node considers the characteristics of different traffic classes along with their total bandwidth usage. The architecture uses a shared database to enable cross-layer interactions. Application's network protocol settings and the interaction with the shared database is done through a cross-layer optimization middleware.

경로 최적화를 기본으로 하는 MIPv6의 바인딩 갱신은 MN에게 시그널링 트래픽 증가, 패킷 손실 및 지연 등의 문제점을 유발시킨다. HMIPv6는 MAP이라는 프로토콜 요소를 도입하여 지역적 핸드오버 수행 과정에서 시그널링을 감소시켜 MIPv6의 문제점을 보완했다. 그러나 HMIPv6의 매크로 이동은 MIPv6과 동일하기 때문에 여전히 문제점이 있다. 본 논문은 주소보장 정책을 이용한 HMIPv6를 제안한다. 매크로 핸드오버가 발생하기 전 MAP에서 미리 LCoA와 RCoA를 구성하고, 핸드오버가 발생하면 MN이 외부 네트워크에서 등록한 후 사용할 수 있게 한다. 이를 위해 주소보장 정책을 지원하도록 MAP을 구성하고 핸드오버 수행 과정에서 BU 메시지를 전송함으로써 핸드오버 수행과 패킷 손실에 대한 성능을 향상시킨다. 시뮬레이션결과는 제안하는 기법이 HMIPv6에 비하여 약 33%의 핸드오버 수행시간 단축시키며 FMIPv6에 비하여 22%의 패킷 손실을 줄일 수 있음을 나타낸다.

Chionanthus retusus is a small deciduous tree that is widely used in landscaping due to its beautiful white spring flowers and ornamental value. Conventional propagation through seeds requires one to two years of breaking dormancy. The objective of this study was to determine the conditions of in vitro germination in C. retusus. In vitro embryo culture was carried out to investigate the effects of six factors: basal media (McCown Woody Plant Medium (WPM) and Murashige and Skoog (MS)); plant growth regulators (different combinations and concentrations of naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), 6-Benzylaminopurine (BA), and gibberellic acid ($GA_3$)); embryo age (collected weekly beginning 36 days after fruit setting); low temperature pretreatment (storing $4^{\circ}C$ for 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks); coconut additives (100, 200, and $300ml{\cdot}L^{-1}$); and genotype (grouping plants depending on their flowering nature). The basal medium used in this study was WPM with $2mg{\cdot}L^{-1-1}\;GA_3$, $20g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ sucrose, and $6g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ Agar. WPM medium mixed with $GA_3$, resulted in higher germination rate as compared to when using a combination of auxin and cytokinin. $GA_3$ at $2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ was the most effective of all combinations and concentrations of PGRs. WPM medium with $2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}GA_3$ resulted in better and faster germination (75.93%). Embryos collected at 57 days after fruit setting had the highest percent of germinated seeds (87.04%) while low-temperature pretreatment of fruits at $4^{\circ}C$ for two weeks produced the highest germination (95.37%). These results of this study could be an open ground for development of an efficient protocol for commercial production of the ornamental tree.

This study aims to develop an improved Feldkamp-Davis-Kress (FDK) reconstruction algorithm using anisotropic total variation (ATV) minimization to enhance the image quality of low-dose cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The algorithm first applies a filter that integrates the Shepp-Logan filter into a cosine window function on all projections for impulse noise removal. A total variation objective function with anisotropic penalty is then minimized to enhance the difference between the real structure and noise using the steepest gradient descent optimization with adaptive step sizes. The preserving parameter to adjust the separation between the noise-free and noisy areas is determined by calculating the cumulative distribution function of the gradient magnitude of the filtered image obtained by the application of the filtering operation on each projection. With these minimized ATV projections, voxel-driven backprojection is finally performed to generate the reconstructed images. The performance of the proposed algorithm was evaluated with the catphan503 phantom dataset acquired with the use of a low-dose protocol. Qualitative and quantitative analyses showed that the proposed ATV minimization provides enhanced CBCT reconstruction images compared with those generated by the conventional FDK algorithm, with a higher contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), lower root-mean-square-error, and higher correlation. The proposed algorithm not only leads to a potential imaging dose reduction in repeated CBCT scans via lower mA levels, but also elicits high CNR values by removing noisy corrupted areas and by avoiding the heavy penalization of striking features.

Background: Ventilator dependency constitutes a major problem in the intensive care setting. Malnutrition is considered a major determinant of extubation failure, however, attention has been attracted to modulating carbon dioxide production through decreasing carbohydrate loading and increasing the percent of fat in enteral feeds. The detected interrelation between substrate oxidation and ventilation outcome became the base of several research to determine the appropriate composition of the nonprotein calories of diet in ventilated patients. Purpose: We aimed to assess the effect of high-fat dietary modification and nutritional status on ventilatory and final outcomes of pediatric intensive care. Methods: Fifty-one ventilated children (1 month to 12 years of age) with pulmonary disease who could be enterally fed, in the Cairo University Pediatric intensive care unit, were divided into 2 groups: group A included 25 patients who received isocaloric high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet; group B included 26 patients who received standard isocaloric diet. Comprehensive nutritional assessment was done for all patients. Results: Group A had a significant reduction in carbon dioxide tension, but no similar reduction in the duration or level of ventilatory support. Assisted minute ventilation was predicted by weight-for-age and caloric intake rather than the type of diet. Poor nutritional status was associated with higher mortality and lower extubation rates. Mild hypertriglyceridemia and some gastrointestinal intolerance were significant in group A, with no impact on the adequacy of energy or protein delivery. Conclusion: The high-fat enteral feeding protocol may contribute to reducing carbon dioxide tension, with mild hypertriglyceridemia and negligible gastrointestinal intolerance as potential adverse effects. Optimization of nutritional status rather than dietary modification may improve ventilatory and survival outcomes in critically ill-ventilated children.

This study was designed to establish an atopic dermatitis (AD) model using MC903 and was conducted to find out the optimal challenge concentration that can cause dermatitis symptoms enough to be experimentally verified while reducing adverse effects such as weight loss. MC903 was treated at concentrations of 2, 3, and 4 nmol/day, and evaluation of skin surface symptoms, water contents, histopathological changes, body weight changes, and spleen/body weight ratio was conducted. In addition, the expression level of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) was also observed. In our results, MC903 induced AD skin lesions such as erythema, scab and fissure and lowered skin moisture level significantly. In addition, water holding capacities in the 3 or 4 nmol groups were diminished significantly compared to that in the control group. On the other hand, 4 nmol treatment induced a weight loss of up to 20% compared to control group. Finally, a higher level of TSLP expression was observed in the 3 nmol group than in the 2 nmol group or the 4 nmol group. Taken together, we propose a total 14-day protocol consisting of 3 days of sensitization (2 nmol/day) and 6 days of challenge (3 nmol/day).

The fast emerging of network technology and the high demand of computing resources have prompted many organizations to outsource their storage and computing needs. Cloud based storage services such as Microsoft's Azure and Amazon's S3 allow customers to store and retrieve any amount of data, at anytime from anywhere via internet. The scalable and dynamic of the cloud storage services help their customer to reduce IT administration and maintenance costs. No doubt, cloud based storage services brought a lot of benefits to its customer by significantly reducing cost through optimization increased operating and economic efficiencies. However without appropriate security and privacy solution in place, it could become major issues to the organization. As data get produced, transferred and stored at off premise and multi tenant cloud based storage, it becomes vulnerable to unauthorized disclosure and unauthorized modification. An attacker able to change or modify data while data inflight or when data is stored on disk, so it is very important to secure data during its entire life-cycle. The traditional cryptography primitives for the purpose of data security protection cannot be directly adopted due to user's lose control of data under off premises cloud server. Secondly cloud based storage is not just a third party data warehouse, the data stored in cloud are frequently update by the users and lastly cloud computing is running in a simultaneous, cooperated and distributed manner. In our proposed mechanism we protect the integrity, authentication and confidentiality of cloud based data with the encrypt- then-upload concept. We modified and applied proxy re-encryption protocol in our proposed scheme. The whole process does not reveal the clear data to any third party including the cloud provider at any stage, this helps to make sure only the authorized user who own corresponding token able to access the data as well as preventing data from being shared without any permission from data owner. Besides, preventing the cloud storage providers from unauthorized access and making illegal authorization to access the data, our scheme also protect the data integrity by using hash function.
