Platelet adhesion onto elastic polymeric biomaterials was tested in vitro by perfusing human whole blood at a shear rate of 100 sec$\^$-1/ for possible verification of mechanisms of initial platelet adhesion perfusion of blood on the polymeric substrates was performed after treatments either with or without pre-adsorption of 1% blood plasma, and either with or without residence of the protein-preadsorbed substrate in phosphate buffered solution. The surfaces employed were elastic polymers such as poly(ether urethane urea), poly(ether urethane), silicone urethane copolymer, silicone rubber and poly(ether urethane) with the anti-calcifying agent hydroxyethane bisphosphate. Each polymer surface treated was exposed in vitro to the dynamic, heparinized whole blood perfused for upto 6 min and the surface area of platelets initially adhered was measured by employing in situ epifluorescence video microscopy. The blood perfusion was performed on the surfaces treated at the following three different conditions: directly on the bare surfaces, after protein pre-adsorption and after residence in buffer for 3 days of the surfaces protein pre-adsorbed for 2 h. The effects of blood plasma pre-adsorption on the initial platelet adhesion was surface-dependent. The amount of the adsorbed fibrinogen and the surface coverage area of the adhered platelets were dependent on the surface conditions whether substrates were bare surfaces or protein pre-adsorbed ones. To test an effect of possible morphological (re)orientations of the adsorbed proteins on the initial platelet adhesion, the polymeric substrate pre-adsorbed with 1% blood plasma was immersed in phosphate buffered solution for 3 days and then exposed to physiological blood perfusion. The surface area of the platelets adhered on these surfaces was significantly different from that of the surfaces treated with protein pre-adsorption only. These results indicated that platelet adhesion was dependent on the surface property itself and pre-treatment conditions such as blood perfusion without any pre-adsorption of proteins, and blood perfusion either after protein pre-adsorption or after subsequent substrate residence in buffer of the substrate pre-adsorbed with proteins. Understanding of these results may guide for better designs of blood-contacting materials based on protein behaviors.

Internet-based social and interactive video applications have become major constituents of the envisaged applications for next-generation multimedia networks. However, inherently dynamic network conditions, together with varying user expectations, pose many challenges for resource allocation mechanisms for such applications. Yet, in addition to addressing these challenges, service providers must also consider how to mitigate their operational costs (e.g., energy costs, equipment costs) while satisfying the end-user quality of service (QoS) expectations. This paper proposes a heuristic solution to the problem, where the energy incurred by the applications, and the monetary costs associated with the service infrastructure, are minimized while simultaneously maximizing the average end-user QoS. We evaluate the performance of the proposed solution in terms of serving probability, i.e., the likelihood of being able to allocate resources to groups of users, the computation time of the resource allocation process, and the adaptability and sensitivity to dynamic network conditions. The proposed method demonstrates improvements in serving probability of up to 27%, in comparison with greedy resource allocation schemes, and a several-orders-of-magnitude reduction in computation time, compared to the linear programming approach, which significantly reduces the service-interrupted user percentage when operating under variable network conditions.

A study was carried out to observe the 1% aqueous safranine solution flow speed in longitudinal and radial directions of softwood Metasequoia glyptostroboides, diffuse-porous wood Anthocephalus cadamba and ring-porouswood Fraxinus rhynchophylla. In radial direction, ray cells and in longitudinal direction, tracheids, vessel and wood fiber were considered for the measurement of liquid penetration speed at less than 12% moisture contents (MC). The length, lumen diameter, pit diameter, end wall pit diameter and the numbers of end wall pits determined for the flow rate. The liquid flow in the those cells was captured via video and the capillary flow rate in the ones were measured. Vessel in hardwood species and tracheids in softwood was found to facilitate prime role in longitudinal penetration. Anatomical features like the length and diameter, end-wall pit numbers of ray parenchyma were found also responsible fluid flow differences. On the other hand, vessel and fiber structure affected the longitudinal flow of liquids. Therefore, the average liquid penetration depth in longitudinal tracheids of Metasequoia glyptostroboides was found the highest among all cells considered in Anthocephalus cadamba and Fraxinus rhynchophylla In radial direction, ray parenchyma of Metasequoia glyptostroboides was found the highest depth and the one of Fraxinus rhynchophylla was the lowest. The solution was penetrated lowest depth in the wood fiber of Fraxinus rhynchophylla. The large vessel of Fraxinus rhynchophylla was found the lowest depth among the vessels. The solutin was penetrated to the wood fiber of Anthocephalus cadamba higher than the one of Fraxinus rhynchophylla.

동화상 압축 기술과 네트워크의 발달로 빠르게 보급된 디지털 콘텐츠는 불법복제와 인터넷을 통한 유포로 인해 지적 재산권 보호의 필요성이 대두되었다. 이에 다양한 표준화 단체들과 콘텐츠 제공업체들이 디지털 콘텐츠 보호를 위한 솔루션을 개발하였고 이 과정에서 서로 다른 독자적인 솔루션 개발로 인하여 이기종 디지털 콘텐츠 보호 시스템간의 상호운용성 결여라는 문제에 봉착하게 되었다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 MPEC(Moving Picture Experts Group) 단체에서 이기종간의 상호운용 가능한 IPMP(Intellectual property Management and Protection) 기술에 대한 표준화를 진행하였으나 만족할 정도의 기능을 제시하지 못하면서 이에 대한 대안으로 DMP(Digital Media Rroject) 표준이 제시되었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 MPEG의 IPMP 표준을 분석하고 이를 보완하기 위해 DMP의 툴팩(ToolPack)을 사용하여 이기종간의 상호운용성 확보가 가능한 디지털 콘텐츠를 보호 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다.

최근 이질적인 분산 컴퓨팅 환경 상에서의 공동 작업들이 나날이 늘어나고 있다. 고속의 원거리 네트워크의 유용성 (availability)은 화상 회의, 분산된 대화식의 시뮬레이션, 그리고 공동의 시각화(collaborative visualization)와 같은 공동의 멀티미디어 응용들을 가능하게 하였다. 이와 같은 응용들과 분산된 고성능 컴퓨팅에서의, 효율적인 그룹 통신은 매우 중요하다. 일반적인 그룹 통신으로는 브로드캐스트, 멀티캐스트 등이 있다. 기존의 FEF, ECEF, look-ahead 와 같은 휴리스틱 알고리즘들은 이러한 이질적 분산 시스템에서의 브로드캐스트와 멀티캐스트를 위한 메시지 전송 트리를 구성하여 준다. 하지만 이러한 알고리즘들은 각 단계에서의 최적의 해를 선택하기 때문에 지역적 최적해(local optimum)에 빠질 수 있는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 노드와 네트워크 모두가 이질적인 기존의 통신 모델 상에서 보다 효율적인 집합적 연산을 위한 트리를 구성해주는 개선된 브로드캐스트 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 휴리스틱 알고리즘들이 지역적 최적해에 빠질 수 있는 점을 감안하여, 보다 합리적이고, 유용성 있는 edge 선택 기준을 제시하였다. 여러 가지 통신비용에 대한 성능 평가를 통하여, 개선된 휴리스틱 알고리즘은 기존의 알고리즘보다 적은 완료 시간을 가지며, 특히 look-ahead 알고리즘보다 낮은 계산 복잡도를 가지는 장점을 가짐을 알 수 있다.

A study was carried out to observe the 1% aqueous safranine solution flow speed in longitudinal and radial directions of softwood Thuja orientalis L., diffuse-porous wood Gmelina arborea Roxb., and ring-porous wood Phellodendron amurense Rupr., Longitudinal flow was considered from bottom to top while the radial flow was considered from bark to pith directions. In radial direction, ray cells and in longitudinal direction tracheids, vessel and wood fiber were considered for the measurement of liquid penetration speed at less than 12% moisture contents(MC). The variation of penetration speed for different species was observed and the reasons behind for this variation were explored. The highest radial penetration depth was found in ray parenchyma of T. orientalis but the lowest one was found in ray parenchyma of P. amurense. The average liquid penetration depth in longitudinal trachied of T. orientalis was found the highest among all the other cells. The penetration depth in fiber of G. arborea was found the lowest among the other longitudinal cells. It was found that cell dimension and also meniscus angle of safranine solution with cell walls were the prime factors for the variation of liquid flow speed in wood. Vessel was found to facilitate prime role in longitudinal penetration for hardwood species. The penetration depth in vessel of G. arborea was found highest among all vessels. Anatomical features like ray parenchyma cell length and diameter, end-wall pits number were found also responsible fluid flow differences. Initially liquid penetration speed was high and the nit gradually decreased in an uneven rate. Liquid flow was captured via video and the penetration depths in those cells were measured. It was found that even in presence of abundant rays in hardwood species, penetration depth of liquid in radial direction of softwood species was found high. Herein the ray length, lumen area, end wall pit diameter determined the radial permeability. On the other hand, vessel and fiber structure affected the longitudinal flow of liquids. Following a go-stop-go cycle, the penetration speed of a liquid decreased over time.
