We are concerned with the multiplicity of semiclassical solutions of the following Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger system involving critical nonlinearity and magnetic fields $$\{-({\varepsilon}{\nabla}+iA(x))^2u+V(x)u=H_u(u,v)+K(x)|u|^{2*-2}u,\;x{\in}\mathbb{R}^N,\\-({\varepsilon}{\nabla}+iB(x))^2v+V(x)v=H_v(u,v)+K(x)|v|^{2*-2}v,\;x{\in}\mathbb{R}^N,$$ where $2^*=2N/(N-2)$ is the Sobolev critical exponent and $i$ is the imaginary unit. Under proper conditions, we prove the existence and multiplicity of the nontrivial solutions to the perturbed system.

Let (R, m) be a 2-dimensional regular local ring with algebraically closed residue field R/m. Let K be the quotient field of R and v be a prime divisor of R, i.e., a valuation of K which is birationally dominating R and residually transcendental over R. Zariski showed that there are finitely many simple v-ideals $m=P_0\;{\supset}\;P_1\;{\supset}\;{\cdotS}\;{\supset}\;P_t=P$ and all the other v-ideals are uniquely factored into a product of those simple ones. It then was also shown by Lipman that the predecessor of the smallest simple v-ideal P is either simple (P is free) or the product of two simple v-ideals (P is satellite), that the sequence of v-ideals between the maximal ideal and the smallest simple v-ideal P is saturated, and that the v-value of the maximal ideal is the m-adic order of P. Let m = (x, y) and denote the v-value difference |v(x) - v(y)| by $n_v$. In this paper, if the m-adic order of P is 2, we show that $O(P_i)\;=\;1\;for\;1\;{\leq}\;i\; {\leq}\;{\lceil}\;{\frac{b+1}{2}}{\rceil}\;and\;O(P_i)\;=2\;for\;{\lceil}\;\frac{b+3}{2}\rceil\;{\leq}\;i\;\leq\;t,\;where\;b=n_v$. We also show that $n_w\;=\;n_v$ when w is the prime divisor associated to a simple v-ideal $Q\;{\supset}\;P$ of order 2 and that w(R) = v(R) as well.

Pulsed current-voltage (I-V) methods are introduced to evaluate the impact of fast transient charge trapping on the performance of high-k dielectric transistors. Several pulsed I-V measurement configurations and measurement requirements are critically reviewed. Properly configured pulsed I-V measurements are shown to be capable of extracting such device characteristics as trap-free mobility, trap-induced threshold voltage shift (${\Delta}V_t$), as well as effective fast transient trap density. The results demonstrate that the pulsed I-V measurements are an essential technique for evaluating high-$\kappa$ gate dielectric devices.

This study is concerned with the existence of positive solution for the following nonlinear elliptic system $$\{-M_1(\int_{\Omega}{\mid}x{\mid}^{-ap}{\mid}{\nabla}u{\mid}^pdx)div({\mid}x{\mid}^{-ap}{\mid}{\nabla}u{\mid}^{p-2}{\nabla}u)\\{\hfill{120}}={\mid}x{\mid}^{-(a+1)p+c_1}\({\alpha}_1A_1(x)f(v)+{\beta}_1B_1(x)h(u)\),\;x{\in}{\Omega},\\-M_2(\int_{\Omega}{\mid}x{\mid}^{-bq}{\mid}{\nabla}v{\mid}^qdx)div({\mid}x{\mid}^{-bq}{\mid}{\nabla}v{\mid}^{q-2}{\nabla}v)\\{\hfill{120}}={\mid}x{\mid}^{-(b+1)q+c_2}\({\alpha}_2A_2(x)g(u)+{\beta}_2B_2(x)k(v)\),\;x{\in}{\Omega},\\{u=v=0,\;x{\in}{\partial}{\Omega},$$ where ${\Omega}$ is a bounded smooth domain of ${\mathbb{R}}^N$ with $0{\in}{\Omega}$, 1 < p, q < N, $0{\leq}a$ < $\frac{N-p}{p}$, $0{\leq}b$ < $\frac{N-q}{q}$ and ${\alpha}_i,{\beta}_i,c_i$ are positive parameters. Here $M_i,A_i,B_i,f,g,h,k$ are continuous functions and we discuss the existence of positive solution when they satisfy certain additional conditions. Our approach is based on the sub and super solutions method.

The proportion of video content consumption is growing dramatically but some users avoid it. The reasons are initial time to load, lack of the time to watch video content, and particularly a traffic issues on mobile devices. The proposed Video-to-Images(V2I) technology offers a new user experience to end users through converting video into images without content providers' or users' effort. Using the V2I technology, consumption methods of video content with new type of content by users and the advantages of the new user experience will be introduced. Furthermore, the overall architecture of the V2I will be explained.

This paper suggests the optimal blood distribution center algorithm that satisfies the minimum total transportation cost and within the allowable distribution time $T^*$. Zhang and Yang proposes shifting the location of each point that has less than the average distance of two maximum distance points from each point. But they cannot decide the correct facility location because they miscompute the shortest distance. This algorithm computes the shortest distance $l_{ij}$ from one area to another areas. Then we select the $v_i$ area to thecandidate distribution center location such that $_{max}l_{ij}{\leq}L^*$ and the $v_i$ such that $l_{ij}-L^*$ area that locates in ($v_i,v_k$) and ($v_j,v_l$) from $P_{ij}=v_i,v_k,{\cdots},v_l,v_j$ path and satisfies the $_{max}l_{ij}{\leq}L^*$ condition. Finally, we decide the candidate distribution area that has minimum transportation cost to optimal distribution area.

This paper presents power supply-insensitive Gbps low power LVDS I/O circuits. The proposed LVDS I/O has been designed and simulated using 1.8V, $0.18\;{\mu}m$ TSMC CMOS Process. The LVDS I/O includes transmitter and receiver parts. The transmitter circuits consist of a differential phase splitter and an output stage with the switched capacitor common mode feedback(SC-CMFB). The differential phase splitter generates a pair of differential signals which provides a balanced duty $cycle(50{\pm}2%)$ and phase difference$(180{\pm}0.2^{\circ})$ over a wide supply voltage range. Also, $V_{OD}$ voltage is 250 mV which is the smallest value of the permissible $V_{OD}$ range for low power operation. The output buffer maintains the required $V_{CM}$ within the permissible range$(1.2{\pm}0.1V)$ due to the SC-CMFB. The receiver covers a wide input DC offset $range(0.2{\sim}2.6\;V)$ with 38 mV hysteresis and Produces a rail-to-rail output over a wide supply voltage range. Beside, the designed receiver has 38.9 dB gain at 1 GHz, which is higher than conventional receivers.

Wireless access in vehicle environment (WAVE) communication is currently being researched as core wireless communication technologies for cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS). WAVE consists of both vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communication, which refers to communication between vehicles, and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communication, which refers to the communication between vehicles and road-side stations. V2I has a longer communication range than V2V, and its communication range and reception rate are heavily influenced by various factors such as structures on the road, the density of vehicles, and topography. Therefore, domestic environments in which there are many non-lines of sight (NLOS), such as mountains and urban areas, require optimized communication channel modeling based on research of V2I propagation characteristics. In the present study, the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) was measured on both an experience road and a test road, and the large-scale characteristics of the WAVE communication were analyzed using the data collected to assess the propagation environment of the WAVE-based V2I that is actually implemented on highways. Based on the results of this analysis, this paper proposes a WAVE communication channel model for domestic public roads by deriving the parameters of a dual-slope logarithmic distance implementing a two-ray ground-reflection model.

Vibrio vulnificus cytolysin caused platelet cytolysis and increased intracellular calcium concentration $([Ca^{2+}]_i)$ of rat platelets in a concentration-dependent manner. In the presence of V. vulnificus cytolysin (3 HU/ml), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity was increased from $1.3{\pm}0.4%$ of control to $64.3{\pm}3.4%$ in platelet suspension buffer. In $Ca^{2+}-free$ platelet suspension buffer, however, V. vulnificus cytolysin did not induce $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ increase and LDH release. Addition of EGTA (2 mM) to suspension buffer after the initial $Ca^{2+}$ influx reversed $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ to the control level. However, a $Ca^{2+}$ channel blocker verapamil $(20\;{\mu}M)$ or mefenamic acid $(20\;{\mu}M)$ did not inhibit V. vulnificus cytolysin-induced $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ increase and LDH release. Divalent cations such as $Co^{2+},\;Cd^{2+}\;or\;Mn^{2+}$ (2 mM each) also did not alter V. vulnificus cytolysin-induced $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ increase and LDH release. V. vulnificus cytolysin (3 HU/ml)-induced calcium influx was completely blocked by lanthanum (2 mM). Lanthanum (2 mM) also completely blocked V. vulnificus cytolysin (3 HU/ml)-induced LDH release. Osmotic protectants such as, raffinose, sucrose or PEG600 (50 mM each) did not inhibit the lytic activity of V. vulnificus cytolysin. In conclusion, lanthanum sensitive $Ca^{2+}$ influx plays a significant role in Vibrio vulnificus cytolysin-induced platelet cytolysis and thrombocytopenia in V. vulnificus infection.
