A total of 14 children who visited the department of Pediatric dentistry of Dankook University Dental Hospital from January, 2012 to May, 2012 and decided to get dental treatment under inhalation sevoflurane deep sedation, were studied to determine the effectiveness of end-tidal sevoflurane, respiratory and cardiovascular function to analyze monitoring sheets. The Heart rate (H.R) data were mean 101.4 rate/min (76.4-135.4 rate/min). The systolic blood pressure data mean were 96.9 mmHg (84.2-109.2 mmHg) and diastolic blood pressure data mean were 50.5 mmHg (34.0-62.0 mmHg). The Respiration rate (R.R) data mean were 24.4 rate/min (15.0-36.7 rate/min). The $SpO_2$ data mean were 99.4% (97.5-100.0%). The end tidal $CO_2$ ($ETCO_2$) data mean were 27.8 mmHg (16.4-38.0 mmHg). The end-tidal sevoflurane data mean were 1.9 vol% (1.0-3.4 vol%).

Wireless Sensor Network typically incorporates various real time applications that must meet timing constraints under severe resource limitations. Due to the high data rate and burst traffic for that type of applications, occurrence of congestion is very common. Ensuring the end-to-end deadline under congested scenario is quite challenging. In this paper we propose a hop-by-hop rate control algorithm which avoids the congestion as well as ensures that the real time traffic will meet the end-to-end deadline by guaranteeing the meeting of local deadline at intermediate hop. Finally, simulation has demonstrated the effectiveness of our approach.

Relay technology is becoming more important for mobile communications and wireless internet of things (IoT) networking because of the extended access network coverage range and reliable quality of service (QoS) it can provide at low power consumption levels. Existing mobile multihop relay (MMR) technology uses fixed-point stationary relay stations (RSs) and a divided time-frame (or frequency-band) to support the relay operation. This approach has limitations when a local fixed-point stationary RS does not exist. In addition, since the time-frame (or frequency-band) channel resources are pre-divided for the relay operation, there is no way to achieve high channel utilization using intelligent opportunistic techniques. In this paper, a different approach is considered, where the use of mobile/IoT devices as RSs is considered. In applications that use mobile/IoT devices as relay systems, due to the very limited battery energy of a mobile/IoT device and unequal channel conditions to and from the RS, both minimum energy consumption and QoS support must be considered simultaneously in the selection and configuration of RSs. Therefore, in this paper, a mobile RS is selected and configured with the objective of minimizing power consumption while satisfying end-to-end data rate and bit error rate (BER) requirements. For the RS, both downlink (DL) to the destination system (DS) (i.e., IoT device or user equipment (UE)) and uplink (UL) to the base station (BS) need to be adaptively configured (using adaptive modulation and power control) to minimize power consumption while satisfying the end-to-end QoS constraints. This paper proposes a minimum transmission power consuming RS selection and configuration (MPRSC) scheme, where the RS uses cognitive radio (CR) sub-channels when communicating with the DS, and therefore the scheme is named MPRSC-CR. The proposed MPRSC-CR scheme is activated when a DS moves out of the BS's QoS supportive coverage range. In this case, data transmissions between the RS and BS use the assigned primary channel that the DS had been using, and data transmissions between the RS and DS use CR sub-channels. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed MPRSC-CR scheme extends the coverage range of the BS and minimizes the power consumption of the RS through optimal selection and configuration of a RS.

In this paper, we propose a zone based ad hoc network construction scheme which support ad hoc path between nodes in local IoT networks consisting of IoT devices with the constrained feature, such as low power, the limited transmission rate and low computing capacity. Recently, the various routing protocols have been studied to support ad hoc networking of local IoT environments. This is, because basis RPL protocol is deigned to be used for the connecting service with Internet through gateway, ad hoc path between nodes in local IoT networks is not supported in basis RPL protocol. Thus, in this paper, the proposed routing scheme provides both ad hoc path and Infra path through gateway, supporting basis RPL protocol simultaneously. Through simulation, we show that the proposed routing scheme with zone based path selection scheme improves the performance of the success rate of end-to-end data transmission and the end-to-end delay, compared to basis RPL protocol.

The excitation temperature and electron number density have been measured for end-on-view ICP discharge. In this work, end-on-view ICP-AES equipped with the newly developed “optical plasma interface (OPI)” was used to eliminate or remove the neg ative effects caused by end-on-plasma source. The axial excitation temperature was measured using analyte (Fe I) emission line data obtained with end-on-view ICP-AES. The axial electron number density was calculated by Saha-Eggert ionization equilibrium theory. In the present study, the effects of forward power, nebulizer gas flow rate and the presence of Na on the excitation temperature and electron number density have been investigated. For sample introduction, two kinds of nebulizers (pneumatic and ultrasonic nebulizer) were utilized.

The Network-based handover still has problems such as the transmission delays and the packet losses in the case of macro mobility, though technological advances have been made in the wireless and mobile communication. For end-to-end handover, the link bandwidth has been reduced in the wireless network due to its burst errors and congestion control. To overcome such problems, we propose a new scheme of the macro handover according to the protocol layer. The proposed macro handover is implemented on the network layer to partially substitute wired signaling for wireless signaling, to flexibly employ buffers, and on the transport layer to postpone its retransmission time. We have performed extensive simulation using ns-2 and the result shows that our proposed scheme outperforms the other existing schemes in terms of transmission delay, packet loss, and data transfer rate during the handovers.

In this paper, end-to-end performances for some VoIP traffics are measured and analyzed over MANET(Mobile Ad-hoc Networks) with packet aggregation transmission under blackhole attacks. A VoIP simulator based on NS-2 is used for performance measure. In the simulation, MOS, call connection ratio, network delay and packet loss rate are measured for end-to-end transmission performance. With analysis of measured data, characteristics of each traffics for performance parameters of packet aggregation transmission is showed on MANET under blackhole attack, As a results of this paper, some considerations be required for packet aggregation transmission are suggested to implement VoIP services on MANET under blackhole attacks.

In the end to end data transfer protocols, it is very important to correctly estimate available bandwidth. In UDT (UDP based Data Transfer), receiver estimates the MTR (Maximum Transfer Rate) of the current link using pair packets transmitted periodically from sender and, then sender finally decides the MTR through EWMA (Exponential Weighted Moving Average) algorithm. Here, MTR has to be exactly estimated because available bandwidth is calculated with difference of MTR and current transfer rate. However, when network is congested due to traffic load and where competing flows are coexisted, it bring about a severe fairness problem. This paper proposes a congestion degree based MTR estimation algorithm. Here, the congestion degree stands a relative index for current congestion status on bottleneck link, which is calculated with arriving intervals of a pair packets. The algorithm try to more classify depending on the congestion degree to estimate more actual available bandwidth. With the network simulation results, our proposed method showed that the fairness problem among the competing flows is significantly resolved in comparison with that of UDT.

Objective: To evaluate the technical applicability of a semiautomatic three-dimensional (3D) hybrid CT segmentation method for the quantification of right ventricular mass in patients with cardiovascular disease. Materials and Methods: Cardiac CT (270 cardiac phases) was used to quantify right ventricular mass using a semiautomatic 3D hybrid segmentation method in 195 patients with cardiovascular disease. Data from 270 cardiac phases were divided into subgroups based on the extent of the segmentation error (no error; ≤ 10% error; > 10% error [technical failure]), defined as discontinuous areas in the right ventricular myocardium. The reproducibility of the right ventricular mass quantification was assessed. In patients with no error or < 10% error, the right ventricular mass was compared and correlated between paired end-systolic and end-diastolic data. The error rate and right ventricular mass were compared based on right ventricular hypertrophy groups. Results: The quantification of right ventricular mass was technically applicable in 96.3% (260/270) of CT data, with no error in 54.4% (147/270) and ≤ 10% error in 41.9% (113/270) of cases. Technical failure was observed in 3.7% (10/270) of cases. The reproducibility of the quantification was high (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.999, p < 0.001). The indexed mass was significantly greater at end-systole than at end-diastole (45.9 ± 22.1 g/m² vs. 39.7 ± 20.2 g/m², p < 0.001), and paired values were highly correlated (r = 0.96, p < 0.001). Fewer errors were observed in severe right ventricular hypertrophy and at the end-systolic phase. The indexed right ventricular mass was significantly higher in severe right ventricular hypertrophy (p < 0.02), except in the comparison of the end-diastolic data between no hypertrophy and mild hypertrophy groups (p > 0.1). Conclusion: CT quantification of right ventricular mass using a semiautomatic 3D hybrid segmentation is technically applicable with high reproducibility in most patients with cardiovascular disease.

ZigBee is Low Power and Low Data Rate Wireless Communication protocol. It apply to much Ubiquitous Sensor Network. ZigBee PAN is two type PAN. One is Beacon Enabled PAN, the other is Non Beacon Enabled PAN. To support Low Power in Non Beacon Enabled PAN, End-Device enter Active status at End-Device's wishing time and send a data. So, Router does not know End-Device sends a data time. To solving this problem, Router must always exist to Active status. In this case, Router receive a power supply always in Non Beacon Enabled PAN. But Router does not receive a power supply always, Router can not normal operation, such as Router use a battery. To solve this problem, Router will be support low power. In this paper, we will present Router's Low Power Algorithm. And we suggest 'PAN Time'. Device use 'PAN Time' for PAN synchronous. Router using Low Power Algorithm can be enter to inactive status. So Non Beacon Enabled PAN of Router support the low power mode Therefore Router does not receive a power supply always, Router can normal operation.
