This paper proposes a new agent based mechanism called a Multicast Handoff Agent (MHA) to reduce handoff latency for IP multicast. The MHA acts as a proxy for an Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) of Mobile Nodes (MNs) at each Base Station (BS) and keeps information for members of multicast groups in a cell. When an MN moves to a next cell, the MHA immediately sends unsolicited reports without waiting for the IGMP query. The mechanism was evaluated through simulation and analysis and compared with the IGMPv2 for micro-mobility and the IGMP traffic. Simulation results show that handoff latency for micro-mobility can be largely reduced and the IGMP control traffic on the wireless links during the duration of membership can be eliminated. Thus, this mechanism is superior to the existing mechanism in both micro-mobility and battery duration, as the need not to reply to a query conserves battery power.

We studied the properties of the InAs epitaxial layers grown of (100)-oriented GaAs ($2^{\circ}$tilted toward[011]) by molecular beam epitaxy. From DCX (double-crystal x0ray), the better crystal quality was shown in InAs epitaxial layers on about 2500$\AA$ GaAs epitaxial layers on GaAs, we obtained the high mobility of InAs epitaxy in As/In BEP ratio (1.2~2.0) from Hall effect measurement. The electron mobility increased as electron concentration increases, until Si cell temperature $960^{\circ}C$$(N_D=2.21\times10^{-17}\textrm{cm}^{-3})$. The mobility decreases as the Si cell temperature increases, at the temperature over $960^{\circ}C$. We obtained the high mobility (1.10$\times$104cm2/V.s) at Si electron concentration of $N_D=2.21\times10^{-17}\textrm{cm}^{-3}$.

DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting for Handhold) is a new standard, currently being developed for a portable digital broadcasting, which enhance the multimedia broadcasting service in the Euroapean standard DVB-T (DVB-Terrestrial). Seamless mobility and power saving are essential requirements in the DVB-H system. To support seamless mobility, DVB-H system should provides seamless handover for mobile stations in the MFN (multi frequency network). For seamless handover, the receiver should monitor neighboring cells and it increases the power consumption. And so, power efficient sell searching algorithm for seamless handover is required. In this paper, we propose hypothesis feeling based handover algorithm to enhance the power efficiency by using the fast cell searching, and analyze the performance of handover schemes through the numerical evaluation and simulation.

This paper proposes DDTM for USN having end-point mobility. The existing network protocols did not consider target's and sink's mobility. So it requires flooding and path update whenever targets or sinks move. This can lead to drain battery of sensors excessively and decrease lifetime of USN. DDTM is the protocol based on TTDD considering sink's mobility. TTDD provides sink's mobility efficiently by using the grid structure, but it requires the high energy because of reconstructing the grid structure whenever targets move. In this way, the proposed protocol can decrease a consumption of energy, since it reuses the existing grid structure of TTDD, if the target moves in local cell. We compare DDTM with TTDD under the total message and the energy consumption by using a discrete analytical model for cost analysis. Analytical results demonstrated that our proposed protocol can provide the higher efficiency on target's mobility.

Although the massive MIMO system supports a high throughput, it requires a lot of channel information for channel compensation. For the reduction of overhead, the massive MIMO system generally uses TDD as duplexing scheme. Therefore, the massive MIMO system is sensitive to rapidly changing fast fading in according to time. For the improvement of reduced SINR by fast fading, the adaptive power control is proposed. Unlike the conventional scheme, the proposed scheme considers mobility of device for adaptive power control. The simulation of the proposed scheme is performed with consideration for mobility of device. The result of the simulation shows that the proposed scheme improves SINR. Since SINR is decreased in according to the number of device in the network by unit of cell, each base station can accommodate more devices by the proposed scheme. Also, because the massive MIMO system with high SINR can use high order modulation scheme, it can support higher throughput.

In mobile/wireless environment, mobility management is widely being focused as one popular researches. But, disruption happens when messages are exchanged between nodes as registration is made after handoff, and unnecessary traffic occurs because of the use of the Random-walk model, in which the probability for MN to move to neighboring cells is equal. In order to solve these problems, this study proposes a technique and algorithm for composing Directional Shadow Registration Region (DSRR) that provides seamless mobility. The core of DSRR is to prevent disruption and unnecessary traffic by minimizing the number o) neighboring cells with a high probability of handoff (AAAF). This study sensed the optimal time for handoff through regional cell division by introducing a division scheme, and then decided DSRR, the region for shadow registration, by applying direction vector (DV) obtained through directional cell sectoring. According to the result of the experiment, the proposed DSRR processes message exchange between nodes within the intra-domain, the frequency of disruptions decreased significantly compared to that in previous researches that process in inter-domain environment. In addition, traffic that occurs at every handoff happened twice in DSRR compared to n (the number of neighboring cells) times in Previous researches. As an additional effect, divided regions obtained from the process of composing DSRR filter MN that moves regardless of handoff.

Silicon has considerably good characteristics on electron, hole mobility and its price. With 2-D sinlge-layer Graphene/n-Si heterojunction solar cell shows that in one sun condition exhibit power conversion efficiency(PCE) of 10.1%. This photovoltaic effect was achieved by applying gate voltage to the Schottky junction of the heterostructure solar cell. Energy band diagram shows that Schottky barrier between Si and graphene can be adjust by the external electric field. because of the fermi level of the graphene can be changed by external gate voltage, we can control the Schottkky barrier of the heterostructure solar cell. The ratio between generated power of solar cell and consumption electrical power is remarkable. Since we use the graphene as the top gate electrode, most of the sun light can penetrate into the active area.

Background: The high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) protein is a widespread nuclear protein present in most cell types. It typically locates in the nucleus and functions as a nuclear cofactor in transcription regulation. However, HMGB1 can also localize in the cytoplasm and be released into extracellular matrix, where it plays critical roles in carcinogenesis and inflammation. However, it remains elusive whether HMGB1 is relocated to cytoplasm in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Methods: Nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins were extracted by different protocols from 20 ccRCC samples and corresponding adjacent renal tissues. Western blotting and immunohistochemistry were used to identify the expression of HMGB1 in ccRCC. To elucidate the potential mechanism of HMGB1 cytoplasmic translocation, HMGB1 proteins were enriched by immunoprecipitation and analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS). Results: The HMGB1 protein was overexpressed and partially localized in cytoplasm in ccRCC samples (12/20, 60%, p<0.05). Immunohistochemistry results indicated that ccRCC of high nuclear grade possess more HMGB1 relocation than those with low grade (p<0.05). Methylation of HMGB1 at lysine 112 in ccRCC was detected by MS. Bioinformatics analysis showed that post-translational modification might affect the binding ability to DNA and mediate its translocation. Conclusion: Relocation of HMGB1 to cytoplasm was confirmed in ccRCC. Methylation of HMGB1 at lysine 112 might the redistribution of this cofactor protein.

Recently, the demand for low-voltage, high-capacity ESS is rapidly increasing due to the revitalization of the e-mobility industry, which is mainly powered by electricity. In addition, the demand for portable power banks is rapidly increasing due to the revitalization of leisure industries such as camping and fishing. The ESS with this structure consists of a small number of series cells and many parallel cells, resulting in a system with a large rated current. Therefore, the number of power devices for cell balancing configured in series is small, but a balancing device with a large current capacity is required. Construction of a constant temperature device in such a low-voltage, high-current ESS is difficult due to economic issues. The demand for an active balancing system that can solve the passive balancing heating problem is rapidly increasing. In this paper, propose a power feedback fly-back topology that can solve the balancing heating problem. The characteristic of the proposed topology is that a series-connected voltage sharing voltage is used as the input of the flyback converter, and the converter output is connected to one transformer. In this structure, the converter output for cell voltage balancing shares magnetic flux through one high-frequency transformer, so the cell voltage connected to the converter automatically converges to the same voltage.

Background: NF-$\kappa$B is a characteristic transcriptional factor whose functional activity is determined by post-translational modification of protein and subsequent change of subcellular localization. The involvement of the NF-$\kappa$B family of the transcription factors in the control of such vital cellular functions as immune response, acute phase reaction, replication of certain viruses and development and differentiation of cells has been clearly documented in many previous studies. Several recent observations have suggested that the NF-$\kappa$B might also be involved in the carcinogenesis of some hematological and solid tumors. Investigating the possibility that members of the NF-$\kappa$B family participate in the molecular control of malignant cell transformation could provide invaluable information on both molecular pathogenesis and cancer-related gene therapy. Method: To determine the expression patterns and functional roles of NF-$\kappa$B family transcription factors in human lung cancer cell lines NCI-H792, NCI-H709, NCI-H226 and NCI-H157 were analysed by western blot, using their respective antibodies. The nuclear and the cytoplasmic fraction of protein extract of these cell lines were subsequently obtained and NF-$\kappa$B expression in each fraction was again determined by western blot analysis. The type of NF-$\kappa$B complex present in the cells was determined by immunoprecipitation. To detect the binding ability of cell-line nuclear extracts to the KB consensus oligonucleotide, electrophoretic mobility shift assay(EMSA) was performed. Results: In the cultured human lung cancer cell lines tested, transcription factors of the NF-$\kappa$B family, namely the p50 and p65 subunit were expressed and localized in the nuclear fraction of the cellular extract by western blot analysis and immunocytochemistry. Immunoprecipitation assay showed that in the cell, the p50 and p65 subunits made NF-$\kappa$B complex. Finally it was shown by Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay(EMSA) that nuclear extracts of lung cancer cell lines are able to bind to NF-$\kappa$B consensus DNA sequences. Conclusion: These data suggest that in human lung cancer cell lines the NF-$\kappa$B p50/p65 complex might be activated. and strengthen the hypothesis that NF-$\kappa$B family transcription factors might be involved in the carcinogenesis of human lung cancer.
