Network coding improves TCP's performance in lossy wireless networks. However, the complex congestion window evolution of network coded TCP (TCP-NC) makes the analysis of end-to-end throughput challenging. This paper analyzes the evolutionary process of TCP-NC against lossy links. An analytic model is established by applying a two-dimensional Markov chain. With maximum window size, end-to-end erasure rate and redundancy parameter as input parameters, the analytic model can reflect window evolution and calculate end-to-end throughput of TCP-NC precisely. The key point of our model is that by the novel definition of the states of Markov chain, both the number of related states and the computation complexity are substantially reduced. Our work helps to understand the factors that affect TCP-NC's performance and lay the foundation of its optimization. Extensive simulations on NS2 show that the analytic model features fairly high accuracy.

The vibration control of bridge is studied considering the vibration characteristics of the Korean-type high-speed railway bridge. Fast nonlinear analysis is adopted as time integration method and the bridge and the train are modeled by FEM and sequentially moving constant forces respectively. Additional damping mechanism is indispensable to the Korean-type high-speed railway bridge because resonance vibration is excited under the maximum design speed. The optimal position and capacity of the damper is studied through the parametric studies, Transient vibration of the bridge is effectively controlled by such additional dampers which means that dampers play a role as structural damping. And also the maximum response of the bridge is reduced. Therefore it is verified that the increase of expected service life and the improvement of serviceability can be obtained through dampers.

In this study, a numerical method deals with the Chebyshev wavelet collocation and Adomian decomposition methods are proposed for solving Korteweg-de Vries equation. Integration of the Chebyshev wavelets operational matrices is derived. This problem is reduced to a system of non-linear algebraic equations by using their operational matrix. Thus, it becomes easier to solve KdV problem. The error estimation for the Chebyshev wavelet collocation method and ADM is investigated. The proposed method's validity and accuracy are demonstrated by numerical results. When the exact and approximate solutions are compared, for non-linear or linear partial differential equations, the Chebyshev wavelet collocation method is shown to be acceptable, efficient and accurate.

LCD backlight boosting and the integration of boosting and dimming are proposed based on image analysis to maximize perceptual image qualities and to reduce display system power. Based on the histogram of the image data, methods for selecting an image suitable for boosting and for adjusting the optimum backlight brightness are proposed. A comprehensive combined optimization method of LCD backlight boosting, dimming and bypass based on image characteristics is also described. Perceptual image quality enhancement and power consumption are evaluated based on well known image databases. Average subjective image quality is improved by 24.8%, RMS contrast is improved more than 20%, and average power consumption is reduced by 15.94% compared to conventional uniform boosting.

When a vehicle moves with a high rotation rate, it is not easy to measure the angular velocity using an off-the-shelf gyroscope. If the angular velocity is estimated using the extended Kalman filter in the gyro-free inertial navigation system, the effect of the accelerometer error and initial angular velocity error can be reduced. In this paper, in order to improve the navigation performance of the gyro-free inertial navigation system, an angular velocity estimation method is proposed based on an extended Kalman filter with an accelerometer random bias error model. In order to show the validity of the proposed estimation method, angular velocities and navigation outputs of a vehicle with 3 rev/s rotation rate are estimated. The results are compared with estimates by other methods such as the integration and an extended Kalman filter without an accelerometer random bias error model. The proposed method gives better estimation results than other methods.

We introduce a display for virtual-reality (VR) fire training. Firefighters prefer to wear and operate a real breathing apparatus while experiencing full visual immersion in a VR fire space. Thus, we used a thin head-mounted display (HMD) with a light field and folded optical system, aiming to both minimize the volume for integration in front of the face into a breathing apparatus and maintain adequate visibility, including a wide viewing angle and resolution similar to that of commercial displays. We developed the optical system testing modules and prototypes of the integrated breathing apparatus. Through iterative testing, the thickness of the output optical module in front of the eyes was reduced from 50 mm to 60 mm to less than 20 mm while maintaining a viewing angle of 103°. In addition, the resolution and image quality degradation of the light field in the display was mitigated. Hence, we obtained a display with a structure consistent with the needs of firefighters in the field. In future work, we will conduct user evaluation regarding fire scene reproducibility by combining immersive VR fire training and real firefighting equipment.

This study investigates the performance of 2.0L hybrid vehicles equipped with Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) fuel engines, using energy flow analysis. By incorporating a direct LPG injection system (LPDi), the research aims to overcome the reduced maximum output commonly associated with LPG engines. Moreover, the integration of a hybrid system is explored as a means to enhance vehicle fuel economy while reducing CO₂ and emissions. The study employs data from FTP-75 and HWFET driving cycle to inform future research efforts focused on predicting CO₂ emissions and fuel economy for Hybrid Electric Vehicles utilizing LPG Direct Injection. The findings offer insights into optimizing fuel systems for better environmental and operational performance in hybrid vehicles.

VDP를 구성 하고 있는 비디오 IP 들은 고화질 영상 제공 및 화질 개선을 위한 목적으로 설계 되었고, 각각의 IP는 실시간성 보장 및 SoC의 하드웨어 통합을 위해서 Avalon 인터페이스가 사용되었다. 이는 설계시간을 단축하고, IP 검증과 특히 SoC를 구성하는데 있어서 IP 추가 삭제 및 변경 등이 용이함으로써 사용자의 편리성을 높여준다. 또한 SoC의 임베디드 소프트웨어는 실시간으로 비디오 세부 항목 설정 및 데이터 전송 방식 설정 등을 제어할 수 있음으로써 유연성 있는 실시간 처리 시스템을 구현할 수 있다. VDP의 SoC 구현은 CyclonIII SoPC(System on a Programmable Chip) 플랫폼 상에서 구현되었으며, 실험 결과 SD 해상도의 입력 영상을 Full HD 해상도로 변환시킴으로써 고화질 영상을 획득 할 수 있다.

Vertebrata lanosa is an abundant and obligate red algal epiphyte of Ascophyllum nodosum that forms part of a complex and highly integrated symbiotic system that includes the ascomycete, Mycophycias ascophylli. As part of ongoing studies to resolve interactions among species in the symbiosis, we used pulse amplitude modulation fluorimetry of chlorophyll a fluorescence, from photosystem II (PSII), to measure the maximum quantum yield ($F_v/F_m$) of PSII [$QY(II)_{max}$] and relative photosynthetic electron transport rates (rETR), as a function of light intensity, in order to evaluate the photosynthetic capacity of the two algal symbionts in the field and in the laboratory under different treatments. Our primary question was 'Is the ecological integration of these species reflected in a corresponding physiological integration involving photosynthetic process?' In the laboratory we measured changes in $QY(II)_{max}$ in thalli of V. lanosa and A. nodosum over one week periods when maintained together in either attached or detached treatments or when maintained separated from each other. While the $QY(II)_{max}$ of PSII of A. nodosum remained high and showed no significant variation among treatments, V. lanosa showed decreasing performance in the following conditions: V. lanosa attached to A. nodosum, V. lanosa in the same culture, but not attached to A. nodosum, and V. lanosa alone. These results are consistent with observations in which rETR was reduced in V. lanosa maintained alone versus attached to A. nodosum. Values for $QY(II)_{max}$ in V. lanosa measured in the field in fully submerged thalli were similar to those measured in the laboratory when V. lanosa was attached to it obligate host A. nodosum. Our results provide evidence of a physiological association of the epiphyte and its host that reflects the known ecology.
