In this paper, we study the viscoelastic Kirchhoff type equation with the following nonlinear source and time-varying delay $$u_{tt}-M(x,t,{\parallel}{\nabla}u(t){\parallel}^2){\Delta}u+{\int_{0}^{t}}h(t-{\tau})div[a(x){\nabla}u({\tau})]d{\tau}\\+{\parallel}u{\parallel}^{\gamma}u+{\mu}_1u_t(x,t)+{\mu}_2u_t(x,t-s(t))=0.$$ Under the smallness condition with respect to Kirchhoff coefficient and the relaxation function and other assumptions, we prove the uniform decay rate of the Kirchhoff type energy.

In this article we discuss some aspects of operational Tau Method on delay differential equations and then we apply this method on the differential delay equation defined by $\omega(u)\;=\frac{1}{u}\;for\;1\lequ\leq2$ and $(u\omega(u))'\;=\omega(u-1)\;foru\geq2$, which was introduced by Buchstab. As Khajah et al.[1] applied the Recursive Tau Method on this problem, they had to apply that Method under the Mathematica software to get reasonable accuracy. We present very good results obtained just by applying the Operational Tau Method using a Fortran code. The results show that we can obtain as much accuracy as is allowed by the Fortran compiler and the machine-limitations. The easy applications and reported results concerning the Operational Tau are again confirming the numerical capabilities of this Method to handle problems in different applications.

In process industries, more than 90% of the control loops have PID controller. Futhermore, the most control systems are using classical PID controllers for their process control. Various auto-tuning methods of PID gains using relay-feedback are presented recently. In order to get the desired control performance, the correct tuning of PID controller is very important. This paper suggests how to tune of digital PID gains using information for both the Nyquist critical point by conventional method and another point by the relay feedback and hidden time-delay term. Simulation results show that the proposed controller has better performance than the conventional method.

장기 저장된 탄약은 화공품의 노화에 따른 절심현상(연소 중단)으로 인해 불발 등의 악작용이 발생하게 된다. 탄약에 주로 사용되는 화공품은 초기 에너지를 부여하는 뇌관 화약과 뇌관 화약의 에너지를 받아 지연제를 점화시켜주는 점화제, 일정 시간 동안 연소를 지연시켜주는 지연제 등을 사용한다. 이러한 형태의 탄약에는 뇌관화약, 점화제, 지연제의 순으로 충전되는데 충전된 순서대로 에너지가 전달되어 기능을 발휘하게 된다. 탄약의 절심 현상은 점화제의 연소중단, 점화제로부터 지연제로의 불충분한 에너지 전달, 지연제의 연소 중단 등에 의해 발생하는데, 이러한 현상이 나타나는 요인으로는 각 구성 성분의 낮은 순도,부적절한 혼합비, 입자성 성분의 입자 크기 및 분포, 바인더의 종류, 각 구성 성분의 혼합방법, 장기저장시 흡입된 수분에 의한 구성성분의 가수분해 및 고온에 의한 구성 성분의 화학적 변화 등이 의심된다. 본 연구의 목적은 Zr-Ni계 지연관 결합체를 장기 보관했을 때 점화제 및 지연제에서 나타나는 연소중단현상의 원인을 규명하는 것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 현장에서 일어나는 절심현상과 일치하는 시험법을 개발하였고, 장-흐름 분획법(field-flow fractionation, FFF)을 이용하여 입자성 성분의 입자 크기와 분포를 조사하였으며, 장기보관에 의한 점화제와 지연제의 화학적인 변화 메커니즘을 조사하기 위하여 열분석(differential scanning calorimetry) 및 XRD, XPS (X-ray diffractometry, X-ray photoelectron Spectroscopy)분석을 수행하였다. XPS 와 XRD data 에 의하면, 점화제의 경우 산소의 1s 결합에너지 위치에서 M-O,M-OH 피크들이 관찰되었다. 이는 산화에 의한 새로운 생성물이 생성되었음을 의미한다. 즉 점화제의 산화에 의해 방출 열량이 감소하여 절심(연소 중단) 현상이 야기된다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.

A discontinuous reception (DRX) operation is included in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system to achieve power saving and prolonged battery life of the user equipment. An improvement in DRX power saving usually leads to a potential increase in the packet delay. An optimum DRX configuration depends on the current traffic, which is not easy to estimate accurately, particularly for non-real-time applications. In this paper, we propose a novel way to vary the DRX cycle length, avoiding a continuous estimation of the data traffic when only non-real-time applications are running with no active real-time applications. Because a small delay in non-real-time traffic does not essentially impact the user's experience adversely, we deliberately allow a limited amount of delay in our proposal to attain a significant improvement in power saving. Our proposal also improves the delay in service resumption after a long period of inactivity. We use a stochastic analysis assuming an M/G/1 queue to validate this improvement.

학습자의 학습 스트레스 수준(stress level)과 금전적 보상(monetary rewards)의 제시 시점 차이가 장, 단기 기억수행에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 지연-파지 효과(delay-retention effect)에서는 지연 보상 (delayed reward)이 기억의 공고화(consolidation) 과정을 촉진시켜 결과적으로 장기 기억 수행을 향상시키게 된다고 주장한다. 본 연구에서는 지연 보상과 즉시 보상(immediate reward)이 학습 스트레스가 높고, 낮은 맥락의 차이에 따라 기억 수행에 미치는 영향력이 다를 것이라 예상하였다. 따라서 학습 맥락을 학습 스트레스가 높고, 낮은 두 조건으로 나누고, 보상 조건과 기억의 인출 시점을 구분하여 실험하였다. 보상 조건은 보상 제시 시점(5초 후 제시, 바로 제시)과 보상의 유무(500원, 0원)를 구분하였고, 기억 검사는 바로 인출하는 경우와 기억 공고화 과정을 거치고 일주일 후 인출하는 경우로 나누었다. 실험 결과 지연 보상은 장기 기억에 이점 효과가 있었고, 즉시 보상은 단기 기억에만 이점 효과가 나타났다. 이러한 보상의 기억 이점 효과는 스트레스가 높은 학습 맥락에서만 관찰되었다. 본 결과는 학습자가 지각하는 학습 스트레스 수준이 높을수록 보상에 대한 민감도가 높으며, 학습 후 즉시 보상 보다 지연 보상이 기억 공고화 과정에서 기억을 촉진시키는 역할을 수행하여 결과적으로 장기 기억력을 향상시킴을 시사한다.

A large number of phone calls and data services will take place in indoor environments. In Long Term Evolution (LTE), femtocell, as a home base station for indoor coverage extension and wideband data service, has recently gained significant interests from operators and consumers. Since femtocell is frequently turned on and off by a personal owner, not by a network operator, one of the key issues is that femtocell should be identified autonomously without system information to support handover from macrocell to femtocell. In this paper, we propose a dynamic reservation scheme of Physical Cell Identities (PCI) for 3GPP LTE femtocell systems. There are several reserving types, and each type reserves a different number of PCIs for femtocell. The transition among the types depends on the deployed number of femtocells, or the number of PCI confusion events. Accordingly, flexible use of PCIs can decrease PCI confusion. This reduces searching time for femtocell, and it is helpful for the quick handover from macrocell to femtocell. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme reduces average delay for identifying detected cells, and increases network capacity within equal delay constraints.

In this paper, we propose self-organizing schemes for the initial configuration of the neighbor cell list (NCL), maintenance of the NCL, and physical cell identifier (PCI) allocation in heterogeneous networks such as long term evolution systems where lower transmission power nodes are additionally deployed in macrocell networks. Accurate NCL maintenance is required for efficient PCI allocation and for avoiding handover delay and redundantly increased system overhead. Proposed self-organizing schemes for the initial NCL configuration and PCI allocation are based on evolved universal terrestrial radio access network NodeB (eNB) scanning that measures reference signal to interference and noise ratio and reference symbol received power, respectively, transmitted from adjacent eNBs. On the other hand, the maintenance of the NCL is managed by adding or removing cells based on periodic user equipment measurements. We provide performance analysis of the proposed schemes under various scenarios in the respects of NCL detection probability, NCL false alarm rate, handover delay area ratio, PCI conflict ratio, etc.

The network function virtualization (NFV) uses virtualization technology to separate software from hardware. One of the most important challenges of NFV is the resource management of virtual network functions (VNFs). According to the dynamic nature of NFV, the resource allocation of VNFs must be changed to adapt to the variations of incoming network traffic. However, the significant delay may be happened because of the reallocation of resources. In order to balance the performance between delay and quality of service, this paper firstly made a compromise between VNF migration and energy consumption. Then, the long short-term memory (LSTM) was utilized to forecast network traffic. Also, the asymmetric loss function for LSTM (LO-LSTM) was proposed to increase the predicted value to a certain extent. Finally, an experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of LO-LSTM. The results demonstrated that the proposed LO-LSTM can not only reduce migration times, but also make the energy consumption increment within an acceptable range.

Androgen therapy has proven efficacy in treating patients with bone marrow failure who are not candidates for bone marrow transplantation. Herein, we report on a case of colonic angioectasia secondary to oxymetholone use in an adolescent patient with Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome (HHS). A 13-year-old Caucasian male with HHS characterized by cerebellar hypoplasia, developmental delay, microcephaly, esophageal strictures and myelodysplasia presented with severe hematochezia from colonic angioectasia secondary to long-term oxymetholone therapy. These vascular lesions resolved spontaneously once this anabolic steroid was discontinued. While androgen therapy is often recommended for certain anemias and myelodysplastic syndromes, clinicians should be aware of the potential complication in developing these perceived uncommon colonic angioectasias. Moreover, pediatric gastroenterologists should familiarize themselves in identifying these vascular lesions by colonoscopy, especially among the high risk groups on long-term anabolic steroid therapy.
