In this paper, we have investigated the CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access) Cellular System with non-linear equalizer in reverse link channel. In general, due to unknown characteristics of channel in the wireless communication, the distribution of the observables cannot be specified by a finite set of parameters; instead, we partitioned the m-dimensional sample space Into a finite number of disjointed regions by using quantiles and a vector quantizer based on training samples. The algorithm proposed is based on a piecewise approximation to regression function based on quantiles and conditional partition moments which are estimated by Robbins Monro Stochastic Approximation (RMSA) algorithm. The resulting equalizers and detectors are robust in the sense that they are insensitive to variations in noise distributions. The main idea is that the robust equalizers and robust partition detectors yield better performance in equiprobably partitioned subspace of observations than the conventional equalizer in unpartitioned observation space under any condition. And also, we apply this idea to the CDMA system and analyze the BER performance.

Conditional Access System (CAS) is a core security mechanism of IPTV SCP (Service and Content Protection) which enables only authenticated user to be able to watch the broadcasting contents. In the past, it was general that CAS was built in Set-Top Box (STB) as hardware or as a detachable cable card. However, numerous researches in Downloadable CAS (DCAS), where users can download CAS code in their STB through their network, have been recently conducted widely due to the lack of security and scalability problem. In this paper, the security requirements of OpenCable based DCAS which is typical example of downloadable IPTV SCP will be derived, the novel authentication and key management scheme will be proposed by using the Authentication Proxy (AP) which is the core DCAS. Also, the benefits of the proposed system will be evaluated by comparison and analysis with preceding research.

Most peoples are used to prefer to view the video contents rather than the other contents since the video contents are more easy to understand with both their eyes and ears. As the wide spread use of smartphones, the demands for the contents services are increasing rapidly. To promote the contents business, it's important to provide security of subscriber authentication and corresponding communication channels through which the contents are delivered. Generally, symmetric key encryption scheme is used to protect the contents in the channel, and the session key should be upadated periodically for the security reasons. In addition, to protect viewing paid contents by illegal users, the proxy authentication should not be allowed. In this paper, we propose biometric based user authentication and one time key generation models. The proposed model is consist of biometric template registration, session key generation and chanel encryption steps. We analyze the difference and benefits of our model with existing CAS models which are made for CATV contents protection, and also provides applications of our model in electronic commerce area.

Background: Delayed presentation of symptomatic breast cancer is a public health issue in Iran, making a major contribution to low survival. Despite the importance of this problem, current knowledge is insufficient to inform interventions to shorten patient delay. The aim of this study was to explore factors influencing patient delay in Iranian women with self-discovered breast cancer symptom. Materials and Methods: This qualitative study was conducted during 2012-2013. Purposeful sampling was used to recruit 20 Iranian women with self-discovered symptoms of breast cancer who attended the Cancer Institute of Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth audiotaped interviews, which were transcribed and analyzed using conventional content analysis with MAXqda software version 10. Findings: Content analysis of the data revealed four main themes related to the delay in seeking medical help including: 1) attributing symptoms to the benign conditions; 2) conditional health behavior; 3) inhibiting emotional expression; and 4) barriers to access to health care systems. Conclusions: These results suggest that patient delay is influenced by complex and multiple factors. Effective intervention to reduce patient delay for breast cancer should be developed by focusing on improvement of women's medical knowledge, managing patients' emotional expression and reform of the referral system.

CAS Client personalization means to issue CAS ID or Key for CAS service, which is Core Technology for CAS operation. Protocol A.1 on TTA.KR-07.0079 XCAS, stores CAS Client personalization data from CAS server in XCAS server, and transmits the personalization data by request of XCAS HOST for CAS Client personalization. However, this may increase Network Traffic and CAS Client image management in XCAS server. In this thesis, to complement this, CAS Client personalization is executed on CAS Server by separating CAS service field. Therefore this can distribute Image management and Network Traffic of XCAS server.

Currently, there exists two different methods for database retrieval in the internet. First is to use the search engine and the second is to use the plug-in or ActiveX technology, If a search engine, which makes use of indices built from keywords of simple text data in order to do a search, is used when accessing a database, first it is not possible to access more than one database at a time, second it is also not possible to support various conditional retrievals as in using query language, and third the set of data received might include many unwanted data, in other words, precision rate might be relatively low. Plug in or Active technology make use of Web browset to execute chents' query in order to do a database retrieval. Problems associated with this is that it is not possible to activate more than one DBMS simultaneously even if they are of the same data model. sefond it is not possible to execute a user query other than the ones thai arc previou sly defined by the client program In this paper, to resolve those aforementioned problems we design and implement database retrieval system using a virtual database, which makes it possible to provide direct query jntertacc through the conventional Web browser. We assume that the virtual database is designed and aggregated from more than one relational database using the same data model.
