IEEE 802.15.3 is wireless Medium Access Control(MAC) and Physical Layer(PHY) specification for high rate WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network). IEEE 802.15.3 MAC Layer provides Qos with three kinds of acknowledgements; No acknowledgement, Immediate acknowledgement, and Delayed acknowledgement. This paper presents how to improve QoS with new acknowledgement method called Delayed Negative acknowledgement. This paper describes the method of using Delayed Negative acknowledgement and presents the calculation of QoS improvement by using Delayed Negative acknowledgement.

This paper describes on the fabrication and characteristics of hot-film type micro-flowsensors integrated with Pt-RTD's and micro-heaters on the Si substrate, in which MgO thin-films were used as medium layer in order to improve adhesion of Pt thin-films to $SiO_2$ layer, The MgO layer improved adhesion of Pt thin-films to $SiO_2$ layer without any chemical reactions to Pt thin-films under high annealing temperatures. In investigating output characteristics of the fabricated micro-flowsensors, the output voltages increased as gas flow rate and its conductivity increased due to increase of heat-loss from sensor to external. Output voltage was 82 mV at $N_2$ flow rate of 2000 seem/min, heating power of 1.2W.

The IEEE 802.11 protocol is the most mature technology for WLANs(Wireless Local Area Networks). However, as the number of stations increases, the delay and throughput performance of IEEE 802.11 MAC(Medium Access Control) degrades severely. In this paper, we present the comprehensive performance analysis of IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol by investigating the MAC layer packet service time when arrival packet sizes have a general probability distribution. We obtain the discrete probability distribution of the MAC layer service time. By using this, we analyze the system throughput and the MAC layer packet service time of IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol in wireless LAN environment. We take some numerical examples for the system throughput and the mean packet service time for several special distributions of arrival packet sizes.

High-rate wireless personal area network (HR-WPAN) has been standardized by the IEEE 802.15.3 task group (TG). To support multimedia services, the IEEE 802.15.3 TG adopts a time-slotted medium access control (MAC) protocol controlled by a central device. In the time division multiple access (TDMA)-based wireless packet networks, the packet scheduling algorithm plays a key role in quality of service (QoS) provisioning for multimedia services. In this paper, we propose an adaptive cross-layer packet scheduling method for the TDMA-based HR-WPAN. Physical channel conditions, MAC protocol, link layer status, random traffic arrival, and QoS requirement are taken into consideration by the proposed packet scheduling method. Performance evaluations are carried out through extensive simulations and significant performance enhancements are observed. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed scheme remains stable regardless of the variable system parameters such as the number of devices (DEVs) and delay bound.

This paper describes on the fabrication and characteristics of hot-film type micro-flowsensors integrated with Pt-RTD(resistance thermometer device) and micro-heater on the Si membrane in which MgO thin-film was used as medium layer in order to improve adhesion of Pt thin-film to SiO$_2$layer. The MgO layer improved adhesion of Pt thin-film to SiO$_2$layer without any chemical reactions to Pt thin-film under high annealing temperatures. Output voltages increased due to increase of heat-loss from sensor to external. The output voltage was 82 mV at $N_2$flow rate of 2000 sccm/min heating power of 1.2 W. The response time($\tau$:63%) was about 50 msec when input flow was stepinput

The boronizing method using ferroborn and NaBF4 powder mixture was studied for surface hardening of medium carbon steel. This boride layer was compared with a boride layer that was formed in ferroboron and KBF4 powder mixture. The frequency factor and activation energy were discussed in this paper. The main results obtained can be summerized as follow. 1) The optimum range of NaBF4 content is 10 to 15% of weight to obtain a thick and dense boride layer. 2) The depth of the boride layer was approximately expressed by the following equation : {{{{d=100 exp (-18,000/RT) SQRT { t} }} 3) The oxidating resistance of boronized steel proved to be good at 800$^{\circ}C$ but almost unacceptable near at 900 $^{\circ}C$. 4) The NaBF4 effect was the same as that reported for KBF4.

The objective of the present paper is to review and implement the most recent developments in the Spectral Element Method (SEM), as well as improve aspects of its implementation in the study of wave propagation by numerical simulation in elastic unbounded domains. The classical formulation of the method is reviewed, and the construction of the mass matrix, stiffness matrix and the external force vector is expressed in terms of matrix operations that are familiar to earthquake engineers. To account for the radiation condition at the external boundaries of the domain, a new absorbing boundary condition, based on the Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) is proposed and implemented. The new formulation, referred to as the Multi-Axial Perfectly Matched Layer (M-PML), results from generalizing the classical Perfectly Matched Layer to a medium in which damping profiles are specified in more than one direction.

Wireless sensor network combines sensing and computing technology which can sense light, temperature, vibration, magnetic field and wind etc, as each purpose of using those. Wireless nodes operate signal processing skill which has proceeded sensed information from the sensor, transmission which makes information reached to observer and limited energy managing skill which is needed on account of using battery to operate wireless. To make responsible measuring and sensing out of them, efficient energy management is so important to maintain life time of network. In this paper, after explaining CSMA/CA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance) traditional wireless MAC protocol, and ER-MAC(Energy Rate Medium Access Control) which are not managing resource of hardware but MAN(Medium Access Control), data-link layer out of OSI 7 layer. We would like to analyze those efficiency of power saving comparing with each protocol.

Objective: This study was performed to evaluate the possibility of prolonged culture of human embryonic stem cells (hESC; SNUhES2) on human amniotic fluid cells (hAFC), which had been storaged after karyotyping. Method: The hAFC was prepared for feeder layer in the presence of Chang's medium and STO medium (90% DMEM, 10% FBS) at $37^{circ}C$ in a 5% $CO_2$ in air atmosphere. Prior to use as a feeder layer, hAFC was mitotically inactivated by mitomycin C. The hESCs on hAFC were passaged mechanically every seven days with ES culture medium (80% DMEM/F12, 20% SR, bFGF). Results: The hAFC feeder layer support the growth of undifferentiated state of SNUhES2 for at least 59 passages thus far. SNUhES2 colonies on hAFC feeder appeared slightly angular and flatter shape as compared with circular and thicker colonies observed with STO feeder layer and showed higher level with complete undifferentiation in seven days. Like hESC cultured on STO feeders, SNUhES2 grown on hAFC expressed normal karyotype, positive for alkaline phosphatase activity, high telomerase activity, Oct-4, SSEA-3, SSEA-4, Tra-1-60 and Tra-1-81 and formed embryoid bodies (EBs). Conclusion: The hAFC supports undifferentiated growth of hESC. Therefore, these results may help to provide a clinically practicable method for expansion of hESC for cell therapies.

A computer simulation, utilizing the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, of ultra-high- density recording on continuous longitudinal media is carried out. The two important features of this work are the use of a planar-type head, which enables a high write field of 14183 Oe ts be generated at the center of the recording medium, and the media with very high coercivities up to 13010 Oe. From a systematic investigation, it is found that the optimum write field is higher than the medium coercivity by only 3400 Oe over a wide coercivity range. This new finding allows one to write an a medium with a very high coercivity by using a planar-type head. It is demonstrated that a reasonably good bit pattern with a bit density of 605 kfci is generated on the medium with a coercivity of l1720 Oe, and, combined with a high track pitch density of 100 ktpi, a recording density of 60 Gb/in$^2$can be obtained in a single layer medium. With an improved write- head designs even a higher recording density of 75 Gb/in$^2$may be possible since comparison of the results for the bit pattern from the present head profile and the ideal Lindholm profile indicates an increase in the track pitch density of about 27%. Even at this density, the thermal stability parameter (KV/kT) at room temperature is high enough (60) to provide ample room for thermal stability.
