Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the level of quality of family life, parental locus of control, and parental sense of competence, and to elucidate factors that influence family quality of life in the mothers of children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). Method: A convenient sample of mothers from 6 child psychiatric clinics was used in this cross-sectional survey design. Questionnaires used for data collection included the following scales: Family Quality of Life, Parental Locus of Control-Short Form Revised, Parental Sense of Competence. Results: The level of family quality of life was mid-range. A positive relationship was found between Family Quality of Life and the research variables. The significant predictors of family quality of life were parental locus of control, parental sense of competence, and duration of medication and these variables accounted for 21.8% of the variance in family quality of life. Conclusions: These results indicate that family quality of life is an important factor which health care provider should assess and evaluate for children with ADHD and their families. The results of this study suggest that family quality of life is an important link with parental sense of competence and parental locus of control.

Due to several advantages of Pulse Width Modulated(PWM) Converter, such as unity power factor with low-harmonics and energy regeneration, PWM converter has been widely used in industrial application. In every application of energy conversion equipment, the design and implementation must be carried out considering performance and cost. High quality with low cost is the best choice for energy conversion equipment. High dc link voltage can reduce inverter and motor side losses and system dimension compare to low dc link voltage. Analog controller can make PWM converter cheaper without considerable degradation of the performance than digital controller. This paper shows the simplified analog controller-for 600V dc link voltage using stationary reference frame control and the simulation results.

Due to the application-specific nature of wireless sensor networks, the sensitivity to such a requirement as data reporting interval varies according to the type of application. Such considerations require an application-specific, parameter tuning paradigm allowing us to maximize energy conservation prolonging the operational network lifetime. In this paper, we propose a reporting interval adaptive, sensor control platform for energy-saving data gathering in wireless sensor networks. The ultimate goal is to extend the network lifetime by providing sensors with high adaptability to application-dependent or time-varying, reporting interval requirements. The proposed sensor control platform is based upon a two phase clustering (TPC) scheme which constructs two types of links within each cluster - namely, direct link and relay link. The direct links are used for control and time-critical, sensed data forwarding while the relay links are used only for multi-hop data reporting. Sensors opportunistically use the energy-saving relay link depending on the user reporting, interval constraint. We present factors that should be considered in deciding the total number of relay links and how sensors are scheduled for sensed data forwarding within a cluster for a given reporting interval and link quality. Simulation and implementation studies demonstrate that the proposed sensor control platform can help individual sensors save a significant amount of energy in reporting data, particularly in dense sensor networks. Such saving can be realized by the adaptability of the sensor to the reporting interval requirements.

본 논문에서 역방향 DS-CDMA(Direct Sequence-Code Division Multiple Access)에서 요구하는 QoS(Quality of Services)를 보장하기 위한 호 수락 제어를 제안한다 물리적 채널수에 의한 방법과 MODEM (modulator/ demodulator)부분으로부터 수신된 신호의 품질에 기반한 방법이 이미 연구되어졌다. 다른 방법으로, BTS(Base Transceiver Station)에서 수신된 파워 레벨을 사용한 방법과 사용자들의 위치를 통계적으로 분석한 방법으로 그 기준을 정하기도 한다. 이러한 방법들은 시스템의 과부하를 가져올 뿐만 아니라 시간 지연 또는 실제 환경에 적용하는데 큰 어려움이 있다. 이러한 문제를 풀기 위해, 실시간으로 BTS부분의 LNA(Low Noise Amplifier)에서 측정한 값을 기반으로 호 수락 제어를 목적으로 호 절단 추정을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 이러한 방법의 제안은 실시간에서 제공하는 서비스의 품질을 추정하고, 시스템의 부하를 줄이며, 짧은 시간지연을 가질 수 있다. 그러나 BTS에서 호 절단 률을 측정하고 수신 신호의 전력을 측정하기 위해 BTS에서 하드웨어 복잡성이 더해진다.

In this paper, we propose a predictive resource metric region (RMR) based radio resource metric estimation (RRME) mechanism, which utilizes a resource metric mapping function (RMMF), both of which permit efficient inter-working between the physical layer and higher layers for envisaging multimedia service applications over a CDMA communication system platform. The RMR can provide the acceptable resource region where QoS and acceptable link quality can be guaranteed with an achievable resource margin to be utilized in terms of capacity margin, the degree of confidence (DCL) of user, second-order statistics of Eb/Io. With predicted capacity margin and variance, DCL can deliver decision parameters with which an adaptive QoS based admission control can perform well taking capacity and resource availability into account in a dynamic and predictive manner. Combined with advanced techniques such as adaptive modulation or rate control and power control, the proposed mechanism can adjust the conventional stringent link quality information efficiently, and deliver accurate information of the resource availability. Thus, these can guarantee the maximization of resource utilization of multimedia service applications.

In this paper, the new open fault detection and tolerant operation method for 3 phase PWM rectifier is proposed. When open fault occurred on the inverter switches of 3 Phase PWM rectifier, the DC link voltage ripple is increased because the input current of the faulty phase is distorted. In this case, the quality of electric power would decrease, and the life time of DC link capacitor is decreased. The open fault is detected by a simple MRAS(Model Reference Adaptive System) without additional hardware sensors, and the tolerant operation carried out by turning on the opposite switch of the faulty switch without any redundancy. By the proposed method, the faulty phase input current can be controlled, so that 3-phase input current is balanced relatively under the faulty condition and the voltage ripple of DC link output is reduced. The validity of the proposed technique is proved on the 6kW 3-phase PWM rectifier system by simulation and experiment.

We propose a new routing protocol, MCQosR, that is based on bandwidth estimation, admission control, and a routing metric, MCCR - suitable for wireless ad-hoc networks with multiple radios and channels. To use the full capacity of a wireless link, we assume a node with multiple radios for full duplex operation, and a radio using multiple channels to exclude route-intra interference. This makes it possible to use the capacity of a wireless link. Then, to provide bandwidth and delay guarantee, we have a radio with a fixed channel for layer-3 data reception at each node, used to estimate the available bandwidth and expected delay of a wireless link. Based on the estimate of available bandwidth and delay, we apply the call admission control to a new call requiring bandwidth and delay guarantee. New calls with traffic that will overflow link or network capacity are rejected so the accepted calls can use the required bandwidth and delay. Finally, we propose a routing metric, MCCR, which considers the channel contentions and collisions of a wireless link operating in CSMA/CA. MCCR is useful for finding a route with less traffic and distributing traffic over the network to prevent network congestion as much as possible. The simulation of the MCQosR protocol and the MCCR metric shows traffic is distributed and guaranteed service is provided for accepted calls.

ATM(Asychronous Transfer Mode) 표준에서 제안된 EMRCA(Explicit Max_min Rate Control Algorithm) 스위치 방식은 ATM 네트워크에서 ABR(Available Bit Rate) 서비스 트래픽을 제어한다. ATM 네트워크의 ABR 서비스 분류는 다양한 링크 용량에 적용하기 위하여 피드백 제어 방식을 사용한다. VS/VD(Virtual Source/Virtual Destination) 기법은 다른 종단간 ABR 제어 루프를 격리된 루프들로부터 분리할 수 있도록 해준다. 피드백 지연과 내부적으로 폐쇄된 구간을 갖는 ABR 트래픽 제어는 처리량, 지연 그리고 지터 등을 고려한 ABR 접속에 있어서 보다 나은 성능과 QoS(Quality of Service)를 제공한다. 본 논문은 ABR VS/VD 흐름 제어 방식에 관한 연구이다. 매개변수를 정확하게 선택하고 시스템의 안정성과 같은 성능을 평가하는 수단을 제공하기 위하여 선형 제어 이론을 사용하여 모델링 하였다. 성능 개선의 목적은 높은 링크 이용율과 공정한 대역폭 분배 그리고 안정된 동작등이며 이는 이산 사건 시뮬레이션을 하였다. 본 논문에서는 VS/VD 스위치의 특수한 레이아웃에 맞춘 ABR 흐름 제어 방식의 설계에 선형 제어 이론을 사용한 것이며 시뮬레이션을 하여 기존의 폭주 제어 방식보다 우수함을 보였다.
