Contents adaptation is a technology which converts one content to another content used in various devices. Specially, synchronization of inter-media which are included in a document is needed. There are various proposals and solutions for synchronization of inter-media. In the paper, I present "TATS : Temporal Aggregate Tree Strategy" model, which is used for specifying the temporal relationship among media in series of time. In the TATS model, aggregate tree, a sort of a binary tree, is generated from the execution time of those media. Using this aggregate tree, I implemented the inter-media synchronizations.

The anti platelet effects of a novel guanidine derivative, KR-32570 ([5-(2-methoxy-5-chlorophenyl) furan-2-ylcarbonyl]guanidine), were investigated with an emphasis on the mechanisms underlying its inhibition of collagen-induced platelet aggregation. KR-32570 significantly inhibited the aggregation of washed rabbit platelets induced by collagen $(10{\mu}g/mL)$, thrombin (0.05 U/mL), arachidonic acid $(100{\mu}M)$, a thromboxane (TX) $A_2$ mimetic agent U46619 (9,11-dideoxy-9,11-methanoepoxy-prostaglandin $F_2,\;1{\mu}M$) and a $Ca^{2+}$ ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin $(0.5{\mu}M)$ ($IC_{50}$ values: $13.8{\pm}1.8,\;26.3{\pm}1.2,\;8.5{\pm}0.9,\;4.3{\pm}1.7\;and\;49.8{\pm}1.4{\mu}M$, respectively). KR-32570 inhibited the collagen-induced liberation of $[^3H]$arachidonic acid from the platelets in a concentration dependent manner with complete inhibition being observed at $50{\mu}M$. The $TXA_2$ synthase assay showed that KR-32570 also inhibited the conversion of the substrate $PGH_2$ to $TXB_2$ at all concentrations. Furthermore, KR-32570 significantly inhibited the $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ mobilization induced by collagen at $50{\mu}M$, which is the concentration that completely inhibits platelet aggregation. KR-32570 also decreased the level of collagen $(10{\mu}g/mL)$induced secretion of serotonin from the dense-granule contents of platelets, and inhibited the NHE-1-mediated rabbit platelet swelling induced by intracellular acidification. These results suggest that the antiplatelet activity of KR-32570 against collagen-induced platelet aggregation is mediated mainly by inhibiting the release of arachidonic acid, $TXA_2$ synthase, the mobilization of cytosolic $Ca^{2+}$ and NHE-1.

We develop architecture of a virtual aggregation gateway (VAG) which enables composite application streaming based on N-Screen-as-a-Service (NaaS) using cloud computing in thin-client environment. We also discuss the problem of server computing burden in large scale multi-client case for screens sharing with composite application streaming over the internet. In particular, we propose an efficient Framework of N-Screen Session Manager which manages all media signaling that are necessary to deliver demanded contents. Furthermore, it will provides user with playback multimedia contents method (TV Drama, Ads, and Dialog etc) which is not considered in other research papers. The objectives of proposing N-Screen Session Manager are to (1) manage session status of all communication sessions (2) manage handling of received request and replies (3) allow users to playback multimedia contents anytime with variety of devices for screen sharing and (4) allow users to transfer an ongoing communication session from one device to another. Furthermore, we discuss the major security issues that occur in Session Initiation Protocol as well as minimizing delay resulted from session initiations (playback or transfer session).

Platelets resemble monoaminergic neurons in several respects, i.e. the uptake of 5-HT and its inhibition, the subcellular storage and release of 5-HT, and the metabolism of aromatic amines brought about by monoamine oxidase. And the 5-HT content of rabbit platelets is well known to be about 40 times higher than that of human platelets. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the influences of amitriptyline (AMT) and sertraline (SRT) on the aggregation, contents of signaling second messengers, and protein phosphorylations of rabbit platelets in response to thrombin, 0.25 unit/ml, comparing with those of chlorpromazine (CPZ). Thrombin-induced aggregation was inhibited by SRT $(IC50:4.37{\times}10^{-5}\;M)$, CPZ $(IC50:5.76{\times}10^{-5}\;M)$, and AMT $(IC50:1.15{\times}10^{-4}\;M)$, respectively, and the aggregation by A23187 $(1.0\;{\mu}M)$ or PMA (320 nM) was also inhibited by SRT, CPZ, and AMT. AMT, SRT, and CPZ had little affects on basal contents of platelet $TXB_2$ and $PGE_2$, but all of them inhibited the thrombin-induced increase of $TXB_2$. Thrombin did not change the platelet contents of cAMP and cGMP. CPZ, AMT, and SRT produced the slight decrease of basal cAMP content, and their effects were not affected by thrombin-treatment. But SRT and AMT moderately increased the basal cGMP content, and the cGMP content of thrombin-stimulated platelets was gradually increased by the pretreatment with SRT, AMT, and CPZ. Particularly, the SRT-dependent increase of the cGMP content was notable. Platelet $Ins(1,4,5)P_3$ content was rapidly increased up to a plateau within 10 sec after thrombin-stimulation, AMT, SRT, and CPZ increased the basal $Ins(1,4,5)P_3$ content, and the thrombin-dependent increase was enhanced by pretreatment with CPZ and AMT, but was blunted by SRT. Platelet $[Ca^{2+}]_i$, was rapidly increased up to a peak level within 20 sec after thrombin-stimulation. The increase of $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ was sisnificantly inhibited by AMT, SRT, and CPZ. Thrombin- or PMA-induced phosphorylations of platelet $41{\sim}43\;kDa$ and 20 kDa proteins were significantly inhibited by AMT, SRT, and CPZ. These results suggest that the antiplatelet activities of AMT and CPZ may be considerably attributed to the inhibition of protein kinase C activity, and the activity of SRT may be associated with the inhibitory effect on the thrombin-induced increase of $Ins(1,4,5)P_3$ and the increasing effect on the cGMP content of ptatelets. Therefore, it seems to be evident that AMT and SRT may produce their antidepressant activity, at least, partly through the inhibition of protein kinase C activity or the increase of resting $Ins(1,4,5)P_3$, content and in case of SRT, to a lesser extent, via the increase of cGMP in the brain.

In wireless sensor networks, an energy efficient data gathering scheme is one of core technologies to process a query. The cluster-based data gathering methods minimize the energy consumption of sensor nodes by maximizing the efficiency of data aggregation. However, since the existing clustering methods consider only uniform network environments, they are not suitable for the real world applications that sensor nodes can be distributed unevenly. To solve such a problem, we propose a balanced multi-hop clustering scheme in non-uniform wireless sensor networks. The proposed scheme constructs a cluster based on the logical distance to the cluster head using a min-distance hop count. To show the superiority of our proposed scheme, we compare it with the existing clustering schemes in sensor networks. Our experimental results show that our proposed scheme prolongs about 48% lifetime over the existing methods on average.

Wireless sensors in Internet of Things are getting closer to our daily lives. Since wireless sensors have limited battery power, energy efficient schemes should be employed. In this paper, we analyzed a system by using stochastic model and then solved an optimization problem, given that the gathered sensor data are aggregated before being transmitted to the sensor servers from a wireless sensor device. Using the developed model, we also proposed a optimal solution to determine the energy efficient sensor data transmitting interval. We also conducted performance evaluations of our proposals using numerical examples.

Purpose: To develop nano-sized starch particles for application as dietary fiber sources in liquid food system, the morphology and thermal properties of acid hydrolyzed rice starches with different amylose contents were evaluated. Methods: Rice starches purified from three Korean cultivars, including Goami, Hopyeong, and Hwaseonchal, were hydrolyzed with 2.2 N HCl solution in a $35^{\circ}C$ shaking water bath (100 rpm) for 7, 10 and 15 days. Results: Acid hydrolysis rates of rice starches increased with increasing hydrolysis duration, and rates for Goami, Hopyeong, and Hwaseonchal were 28.74-38.50%, 38.96-49.53%, and 40.24-48.88%, respectively. The granular size of acid hydrolyzed starches decreased to 122.4-479.9 nm, whereas granular aggregation increased with increasing hydrolysis duration. In particular, waxy rice starch of Hwaseonchal was composed of many tiny granules without aggregates. Gelatinization temperature and temperature range increased with increasing hydrolysis duration. All starches showed A type crystallinity using an x-ray diffractometer, regardless of acid hydrolysis. Conclusion: It is suggested that nanoparticles could be prepared by acid hydrolysis of rice starches, and waxy rice starch is the most preferred source for application.

Real-time video streaming scheme for multimedia content delivery and remote conference services is one of technologies that are significantly sensitive to data transmission delay. Recently, because of COVID-19, real-time video streaming contents for the services are significantly increased such as personal broadcasting and remote school class. In order to support the services, there is a growing emphasis on low transmission delay and secure content delivery, respectively. Therefore, our research proposed a packet aggregation algorithm to reduce the transmission delay of selectively encrypted video transmission for real-time video streaming services. Through the application of the proposed algorithm, the selectively encrypted video framework can control the amount of MPEG-2 TS packets for low latency transmission with a consideration of packet priorities. Evaluation results on testbed show that the application of the proposed algorithm to the video framework can reduce approximately 11% of the transmission delay for high and low resolution video.
