무선 네트워크에서 네트워크 혼잡과 bit-error-rate(BER)에 의한 패킷 손실을 구분하는 기법과 현재 가용 대역폭을 예측하여 전송량을 조절하는 기법은 무선 TCP의 성능을 크게 향상시킨다. 네트워크 혼잡과 BER에 의한 패킷 손실을 명시적으로 구분하는 TCP New Jersey는 현재까지 제안된 무선 TCP 기법 중 가장 높은 성능을 보이지만 무선 링크 에러율이 높아지면 전송률이 크게 떨어지는 문제와 가용 대역폭 예측 알고리즘이 백그라운드 트래픽 패턴에 의존적인 문제가 있다. 또한 패킷 손실을 감지하여 패킷 손실의 원인을 판별하는 기법으로 원인을 구분하여 감소된 전송량을 회복하는 기법이 효율적이지 못하다. 본 논문에서는 TCP New Jersey의 문제점을 보완한 TCP NJ+를 제안한다. TCP NJ+는 향상된 전송량 회복 기법으로 BER에 의한 일반적인 패킷 손실뿐만 아니라 retransmission timeout이 발생하여도 보다 높은 전송률을 보장한다. 제안된 TCP NJ+는 NS-2 네트워크 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 성능평가 한 결과 5%의 높은 무선 링크 에러율을 갖는 네트워크에서는 TCP New Jersey에 비해 19%, TCP Westwood에 비해 57%의 성능향상을 보인다.

To investigate the process of spermiogenesis of the Korean eastern Daubenton's bat, Myotis daubentonii ussuriensis, the testis obtained from mature male bats was studied by transmission electron microscope and were based on the variety and diagnostic characters of cell organells. The results obtained from the present study are as follows. According to the differentiation of the cell organells, the spermiogenesis of the Korean eastern Daubenton's bat, M. d. ussuriensis, was divided into Golg, cap, acrosome, maturation and spermiation phases. Besides, these Golgi, cap, acrosome, and maturation phase were subdivided into the steps of early and late phases repectively and matruation phase was subdivided into step of early, mid and late phases. Therfore, the spermiogenesisof M. d. ussuriensis has been divided into a total of 11 phases. The chromatin granules began to condense at the early cap phase, regularized at the acrosome phase, and a perfect nucleus of sperm was formed at the maturation phase. The chromatoid body was occurred in the upper cytoplasm of nucleus at the early Golgi phase, and it was accurred the posterior cytoplasm of the nucleus at the early maturatio phase. The formation of sperm tail began to be develop in the early golgi phase, and completed at the spermiation phase. The fiber structure of middle piece was consisted of nine outer doublets and two central singlet microtubules and Nos. 1, 5, 6 and 9 in the outer dense were larger than the others(2, 3, 4, 7, 8).

The differentiated services(DiffServ) architecture provides packet level service differentiation through the simple and predefined Per-Hop Behaviors(PHBs). The Assured Forwarding(AF) PHB proposed as the assured services uses the RED-in/out(RIO) approach to ensusre the expected capacity specified by the service profile. However, the AF PHB fails to give good QoS and fairness to the TCP flows. This is because OUT(out- of-profile) packet droppings at the RIO buffer are unfair and sporadic during only network congestion while the TCP's congestion control algorithm works with a different round trip time(RTT). In this paper, we propose an Adaptive Regulating Drop(ARD) marker, as a novel dropping strategy at the ingressive edge router, to improve TCP fairness in assured services without a decrease in the link utilization. To drop packets pertinently, the ARD marker adaptively changes a Temporary Permitted Rate(TPR) for aggregate TCP flows. To reduce the excessive use of greedy TCP flows by notifying droppings of their IN packets constantly to them without a decrease in the link utilization, according to the TPR, the ARD marker performs random early fair remarking and dropping of their excessive IN packets at the aggregate flow level. Thus, the throughput of a TCP flow no more depends on only the sporadic and unfair OUT packet droppings at the RIO buffer in the core router. Then, the ARD marker regulates the packet transmission rate of each TCP flow to the contract rate by increasing TCP fairness, without a decrease in the link utilization.

The goal of Medical multimedia server is to develop computer hardware and software which would enable electronic access, storage, transmission, and display of patient data and images. Since the current network only provides so called "best-effort" services, it is impossible to satisfy QoS guarantee that is required for real time application services for emergency room, operating room etc. Accordingly, world-wide research is being made for a variety of services to provide QoS. he goal of DiffServ is to offer scalable differentiated service in Internet which are made possible by traffic classification and conditioning only performed at an edge(or a boundary) node. In case DiffServ was deployed in the Medical multimedia network, it is difficult to estimate how the QoS mechanism would affect totally the network performance. Therefore, we need to verify by simulation the design of algorithm which provide a variety of differentiated services. In QoS for Medical multimedia network, a simulator is designed and implemented using OPNET to investigate the performance of DiffServ QoS support mechanism. The developed DiffServ simulator may generate packets according to random, and bursty traffic models in order to incorporate diverse traffic conditions in the Medical multimedia network environment. Based on our simulation results, we confirmed that service differentiation is possible by using the EF(Expedited Forwarding) class in DiffServ networks.

The differentiated services (DiffServ) is proposed to provide packet level service differentiations in a scalable manner. To provide an end-to-end service differentiation to users having a connection over multiple domains, as well as a flow marker, an intermediate marker is necessary at the edge routers, and it should not be operated at a flow level due to a scalability problem. Due to this operation requirement, the intermediate marker has a fairness problem among the transmission control protocol (TCP) flows since TCP flows have intrinsically unfair throughputs due to the TCP's congestion control algorithm. Moreover, it is very difficult to resolve this problem without individual flow state information such as round trip time (RTT) and sending rate of each flow. In this paper, to resolve this TCP fairness problem of an intermediate marker, we propose a fair scalable marker (FSM) as an intermediate marker which works with a source flow three color marker (sf-TCM) operating as a host source marker. The proposed fair scalable marker improves the fairness among the TCP flows with different RTTs without per-flow management. Through the simulations, we show that the FSM can improve TCP fairness as well as link utilization in multiple domain DiffServ networks.

Wi-Fi Round-trip timing (RTT) based location estimation technology estimates the distance between the user and the AP based on the transmission and reception time of the signal. This is because reception instability and signal distortion are greater than that of a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) based fingerprint in an indoor NLOS environment, resulting in a large position error due to multipath fading. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose an end-to-end based WiFi Trilateration Net (WTN) that combines neural network-based RTT correction and trilateral positioning network, respectively. The proposed WTN is composed of an RNN-based correction network to improve the RTT distance accuracy and a neural network-based trilateral positioning network for real-time positioning implemented in an end-to-end structure. The proposed network improves learning efficiency by changing the trilateral positioning algorithm, which cannot be learned through differentiation due to mathematical operations, to a neural network. In addition, in order to increase the stability of the TOA based RTT, a correction network is applied in the scanning step to collect reliable distance estimation values from each RTT AP.

The use of an efficient packet scheduling scheme for a forward link in satellite communication networks is very important to support fairness for each return channel satellite terminal (RCST) and the service differentiations for user traffics. To support fairness and QoS for each RCST with service-level agreement (SLA), the Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) system in a satellite hub has to process packets with considering modulation and coding (MODCOD) and packet types. Although a DVB-S2 system with ACM scheme has higher transmission efficiency, it cannot offer fairness or quality of service (QoS) to RCSTs. Because the data are transmitted with high MODCOD in regions with clear skies, while data are transmitted using low MODCOD in regions experiencing rain events. In this paper, we propose a two-step scheduling scheme offering fairness and QoS to RCSTs, while minimizing a decrease in throughput. The proposed scheme is carried out performance evaluations using a computer simulation. As results of this simulation, the proposed scheduler was shown to support bandwidth fairness to an individual RCST, and provide a level of QoS differentiation for user traffics.

Streptococcus agalactiae is an important bacterial pathogen and causative agent of diseases including neonatal sepsis and meningitis, as well as infections in healthy adults and pregnant women. Although antibiotic treatments effectively relieve symptoms, the emergence and transmission of multidrug-resistant strains indicate the need for an effective immunotherapy. Effector T helper (Th) 17 cells are a relatively newly discovered subpopulation of helper CD4⁺ T lymphocytes, and which, by expressing interleukin (IL)-17A, play crucial roles in host defenses against a variety of pathogens, including bacteria and viruses. However, whether S. agalactiae infection can induce the differentiation of CD4⁺ T cells into Th17 cells, and whether IL-17A can play an effective role against S. agalactiae infections, are still unclear. In this study, we analyzed the responses of CD4⁺ T cells and their defensive effects after S. agalactiae infection. The results showed that S. agalactiae infection induces not only the formation of Th1 cells expressing interferon (IFN)-γ, but also the differentiation of mouse splenic CD4⁺ T cells into Th17 cells, which highly express IL-17A. In addition, the bacterial load of S. agalactiae was significantly increased and decreased in organs as determined by antibody neutralization and IL-17A addition experiments, respectively. The results confirmed that IL-17A is required by the host to defend against S. agalactiae and that it plays an important role in effectively eliminating S. agalactiae. Our findings therefore prompt us to adopt effective methods to regulate the expression of IL-17A as a potent strategy for the prevention and treatment of S. agalactiae infection.

정상 성인 고환의 버팀세포(Sertoli cell)는 비분열세포이며, 정세관(seminiferous tubule)단면에서 비교적 불분명하게 관찰되고, 정세관 세포 성분의 $10\sim15%$를 차지하고 있다. 전자현미경적으로 버팅 세포는 특징적인 핵소체와 원형질막 및 세포질 소기관을 갖고 있다. 원형질막은 사춘기에 발달한 두 종류 즉 버팅세포와 버팀세포 및 버팅세포와 생식세포 사이의 세포연접을 가지고 있다. 그러나 태이에서 버팅세포의 정확한 미세구조에 대한 기술은 드물다. 이에 본 저자는 태아 고환의 발생 제 14주부터 제27주 사이의 17예를 수집하여 정상 미세구조를 확인하고, 태아기 버팀세포의 분화 양상을 알아보고자 하였다. 태아기에서 버팀세포와 생식세포 및 버팀세포와 버팀세포 사이의 세포연접은 부착반점과 비슷한 구조로 이루어져 있었고, 이들은 관찰 대상인 태령 제14주부터 관찰되었다. 태아기 버팅세포의 세포소기관의 발달은 전반적으로 미약하였다. 비교적 풍부하게 사립체가 태령 제14주부터 관찰되었고, 무과립세포질세망이 소수, 그리고 과립세포질세망이 비교적 풍부하게 관찰되었다. 지방소포의 수는 비교적 일정하게 관찰되었고, 포도당입자는 발생 단계에 따라 점차 증가하는 소견을 보였다. 미세섬유와 Charcot-Bottcher의 결정소체는 본 연구대상에서는 관찰되지 않았다. 결론적으로, 태아기의 버팀세포에서는 어른에서 관찰되는 특징적인 소견들이 관찰되지 않았으며, 어른과는 다소 다른 전자현미경 소견을 나타냈다. 하지만 버팅세포의 분화양상을 정확히 알기 위해서는 태령 제27주 이후부터 사춘기까지의 연구가 추가되어야 할 것으로 생각한다.
