We consider the problem of scheduling communications in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to ensure battery preservation through the use of the sleeping mode of sensors.We propose a communication protocol for 1-hop WSNs and extend it to multi-hop WSNs through the use of a 1-hop clustering algorithm.We propose to schedule communications in each cluster in a virtual communication ring so as to avoid collisions. Since clusters are cliques, only one sensor can speak or listen in a cluster at a time, and all sensors need to speak in each of their clusters at least once to realize the communication protocol. We model this situation as a mathematical program.

Zizyphus seed(Zizyphus vulgaris Lamark var. Spinosus Bunge) has long been used as hypnotics and sedatives in oriental medicine, and it is reported that the Zizyphus seed elicited a variety of pharmacologic actions besides CNS depression. Present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of Zizyphus seed on the central nervous system and on the blood pressure. The effect of Zizyphus seed on the central nervous system was measured by the influence of thiopental sleeping time and by inhibition of chemical convulsion (strychnine and pentylenetetrazol induced). Blood pressure changes by Zizyphus extract and its mode of action were investigated. The ground Zizyphus seed was extracted with hexane and methanol, consecutively and the supernatants were discarded. The precipitate was re-extracted with distilled water and the supernatant was evaporated to a dark-brownish sticky liquid, which was used as Zizyphus seed extract in this study after dissolving in saline prior to experiment. The results are as follows. 1) Zizyphus seed extract caused marked prolongation of the thiopental sleeping time in mice. 2) The chemical convulsion by strychnine and pentylenetetrazol, and the mortality by them in chicks were not affected by pretreatment of Zizyphus seed extract. 3) Zizyphus seed extract produced transient fall of blood pressure in the cat, and this hypotentive effect was blocked partially by atropine but not affected by bilateral vagotomy and/or hexamethonium, nor propranolol and, chlorpheniramine and/or cimetidine. With the above results, it may be suggested that the water extract of Zizyphus seeds contains components producing CNS depression and hypotension. Furthermore it is felt that the cholinergic effect, but not the adrenergic or histaminergic, is partly responsible for the hypotensive effect of Zizyphus seed extract.

The otitis media has the highest rate of occurrence in 6-36 month after birth, and relatively high rate of occurrence to six years old. It is one of major cause for hearing loss problem because of its high rate of recurrence. The researcher observed at bed that feeding posture and feeding habit at night have some relationship with occurrence of otitis media. I found that medical research in this area was very weak, and it caused her to concentrate her research on the topic. This paper was undertook a retrospective case-control study to find out the relationship between the mode of feeding and the occurrence of otitis media among the otitis media patients and the healthy persons. As the controling groups, the researcher chose fifty eight mothers whose children received the treatment of otitis media(6-36 months after birth) from the pediatrics clinic of two general hospitals in Seoul, as the patient group, and forty five mothers who consulted with their child to well baby clinic at the general hospital and kindergarten in Seoul as the control group. The results of the survey can be summarized as followed : 1. "Otitis media patient group may have more lying posture mothers while feeding than the healthy control group". The first hypothesis is supported by the fact that the children who have lying posture feeding habit mothers are more easily exposed to otitis media than those who have sitting posture feeding habit mothers as the analysis show : $X^2=8.142$, p = .017 2. "Otitis media patient group may have higher rate of sleeping habit with milk bottle on the month at night than the healthy control group does". The second hypothesis was supported by the fact that the patients group has higher rate of expected sleeping habit than the healthy group dose as the analysis show : $X^2=4.35$, p = .037 3. "Otitis media can be found more in the artificial feeding group than in the healthy children group". The hypothesis is rejected by the analysis, $X^2=1.550$, p = .416. Though the hypothesis is not supported by this research, we need to encourage mothers to feed mother's breast milk on the ground that healthy group has mother's milk feeding tendency, and the best food for infants is their mother's milk, and psychological-sociological effects of breast feeding os quite good for children. It will improve the health of infants. It can be summarized as follows : Otitis media is more concerned with posture of feeding and night feeding habits than feeding modes. On the basis of this survey, feeding education problem for mothers of infants need to be developed. In the education, sitting-embracing posture of feeding, mother's breast feeding, and prohibition of children's lying posture feeding at night need to be emphasized.

이동 애드혹 망을 구성하는 노드들은 일반적으로 배터리 전력을 사용하기 때문에 이들의 에너지 소모량을 줄이는 연구들이 각 계층에 대해 이루어져 왔다. 매체 접근 제어 프로토콜로 많이 이용되는 IEEE 802.11 DCF에서도 전력 절감 모드가 정의되어 있으며, 노드들은 동기화된 상태에서 주기적으로 활동 상태와 휴면 상태를 반복한다. 활동 상태 동안 서로 전송할 메시지가 있는지 여부를 이웃 노드에 공지하고, 전송에 관여하게 될 노드들은 계속해서 활동 상태로 머물러 필요한 송수신을 하는 반면, 그 외의 노드들은 다음 주기까지 휴면 상태에 들게 된다. 대부분의 기존 연구들은 보다 많은 전력 절감을 위해 휴면기간을 최대화, 최적화하는 것에 초점을 맞추었다. 그러나, 이로 인해 메시지들이 한 주기 당 한 홉씩 전달되어 결과적으로 매우 긴 전송지연을 초래할 수 있다는 것은 지금까지 간과되었다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11 DCF의 전력 절감 모드에서 빠른 속도로 전체 망으로의 플러딩을 수행할 수 있는 개선된 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 고정된 길이의 활동 상태 기간 동안 이웃 노드뿐 아니라 최대한 멀리까지 공지를 전달하게 하고, 동시에 많은 구간의 노드가 깨어 있게 함으로써 그 이후의 데이타 메시지 전달 속도를 높인다 시뮬레이션에 의한 실험 결과, 제안된 알고리즘은 IEEE 802.11 DCF 전력 절감 모드와 비교해 약간의 추가 에너지 소모로 플러딩 전송 지연을 최대 80% 이상 감소시켰으며, 플러딩 트래픽이 있을 경우의 유니 캐스팅 전송 지연 또한 약 50% 만큼 감소시키는 성능을 보였다.

In this paper, we proposed TASL-MAC, a medium-access control (MAC) protocol for wireless sensor networks. In wireless sensor networks, sensor nodes are usually deployed in a special environment, are assigned with long-term work, and are supported by a limited battery. As such, reducing the energy consumption becomes the primary concern with regard to wireless sensor networks. At the same time, reducing the latency in multi-hop data transmission is also very important. In the existing research, sensor nodes are expected to be switched to the sleep mode in order to reduce energy consumption. However, the existing proposals tended to assign the sensors with a fixed Sleep/Listening schedule, which causes unnecessary idle listening problems and conspicuous transmission latency due to the diversity of the traffic-load in the network. TASL-MAC is designed to dynamically adjust the duty listening time based on traffic load. This protocol enables the node with a proper data transfer rate to satisfy the application's requirements. Meanwhile, it can lead to much greater power efficiency by prolonging the nodes' sleeping time when the traffic. We evaluate our implementation of TASL-MAC in NS-2. The evaluation result indicates that our proposal could explicitly reduce packet delivery latency, and that it could also significantly prolong the lifetime of the entire network when traffic is low.

In this paper, we present a distributed algorithm for detecting dynamic event regions in wireless sensor network with the consideration on energy saving. Our model is that the sensing field is monitored by a large number of randomly distributed sensors with low-power battery and limited functionality, and that the event region is dynamic with motion or changing the shape. At any time that the event happens, we need some sensors awake to detect it and to wake up its k-hop neighbors to detect further events. Scheduling for the network to save the total power-cost or to maximize the monitoring time has been studied extensively. Our scheme is that some predetermined sensors, called critical sensors are awake all the time and when the event is detected by a critical sensor the sensor broadcasts to the neighbors to check their sensing area. Then the neighbors check their area and decide whether they wake up or remain in sleeping mode with certain criteria. Our algorithm uses only 2 bit of information in communication between sensors, thus the total communication cost is low, and the speed of detecting all event region is high. We adapt two kinds of measure for the wake-up decision. With suitable threshold values, our algorithm can be applied for many applications and for the trade-off between energy saving and the efficiency of event detection.

무선 센서 네트워크는 많은 수의 노드들로 구성되어 있고 각각의 노드들은 네트워크 일정 범위 안에 가깝게 또는 멀리 배열되어져 있다. 각각의 노드들의 수명은 전체 센서 네트워크의 수명에 중요하게 작용한다. 이러한 노드들은 네트워크 토플로지에서 배터리를 사용되고 이 배터리는 현실상 충전과 교체가 거의 불가능하므로 우리는 배터리의 에너지를 최대한 효율적으로 사용해야 한다. 효율적인 에너지 사용은 전체 센서 네트워크의 수명을 늘려주고 임무를 완수하게 해 준다. 이 논문에서는 지리 정보를 바탕으로 이루어진 센서 네트워크에서의 노드들의 효율적인 에너지 소비를 위한 라우팅 알고리즘을 제안한다. 지리 정보를 바탕으로 한 알고리즘 중 GAF(Geographic Aladaptive Fidelity) 알고리즘을 기반으로 보다 더 에너지를 효율적으로 소비하는 Improved GAF를 제안한다. GAF 알고리즘은 한 좌표(gird)당 자기 위치를 알고 있는 한 노드들이 라우팅을 유지하면서 필요 혀는 노드들은 sleeping mode로 전환하여 동등하게 에너지 소비하여 에너지를 보전한다. Improved GAF는 한 좌표당 하나의 센서노드가 아닌 두 개 이하의 센서 노드가 작동하여 기존의 GAF 알고리즘보다 최대 50%까지 에너지 낭비를 막을 수 있다. 따라서 각각의 노드들의 효율적인 에너지 소비로 인하여 전체 센서 네트워크의 수명도 늘어난다. 또한 모바일 싱크가 이동을 하였을 때, 전체 네트워크 라우팅 프로토콜이 아닌 지역적인 라우팅 프로토콜만 재구성하여 에너지 효율적인 데이터 수집 기법을 제안한다.

We tried to evaluate frequencies and severities of malocclusion of various socioeconomic areas according to growth and development. To obtain objective validity, we used Handicapping Labiolingual Deviation (HLD) suggested by Draker, Treatment Priority Index (TPI) by Grainger, Handicapped Malocclusion Assessing Record (HMAR) by American Dental Association and American Association of Orthodontist. Seoul and Kwangju were selected as an urban group, Ahnyang as an middle socioeconomic group and Hwasun near the Kwangju area as an rural group. 140 (male 63, female 73) of 5th grade in 'E' elementary school students in Seoul, 202 (male 101, female 101) of 'S' elementary school students in Kwangju, 207(male 105, female 102) of 'H' elementary school students in Hwasun, and 100(male 49, female 51) of 'M' elementary school students of in Ahnyang of all the same grade were analyzed and we obtained the results as follows; 1. TPI, HLD, and HMAR showed high coincidence and reproducibility between different observer. (p<0.01) 2. In comparison of TPI, HLD, and HMAR according to clinical decision, there was statistically difference between each other. (p<0.01) 3. As the severity of malocclusion increases there was high correlation between TPI and HLD, and between HLD and HMAR (p<0.05) 4. With respect to differences between areas in TPI and HLD, there was statistically difference between Ahnyang and other areas. 5. In Seoul as an urban group there was a high incidence of periodic checkup and history of orthodontic treatment than other area. 6. Mode of feeding and posture during sleeping did not affect the severity of malocclusion. As a conclusion, TPI, HLD and HMAR are so reproducible and coincident that they can be used as a guide on evaluating the frequency and severity of malocclusion and determining the priority of orthodontic treatment to determine the need and supply of orthodontic treatment. Furthermore these indices can provide objectively valid data for establishing public health problem solution.
