A variety of systems have been attempted for effective urban management. In this paper we introduce the Integrated Urban Management System (IUMS), which consists mainly of an optical line terminal (OLT), optical network terminals (ONTs) and wireless access points (APs), by combining passive optical network (PON) and radio over fiber (RoF) technologies so as to take advantage of both systems. Further, several IUMS services such as a disaster detection and prevention system (DDPS), a bus information system (BIS) and a real time location system (RTLS) we demonstrated in order to verify the employment of IUMS for the realization of a future ubiquitous city (U-city).

The aim of the study was to clarify the role of gastrokine 1 in the process of formation and development of gastric cancer. The expression of gastrokine 1 in gastric cancer and corresponding non-cancerous gastric tissues of 52 gastric cancer patients was assessed with the real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry. We also analyzed the relationship between the expression level and clinicopathological characteristics. Gastrokine 1 gene and protein expression in gastric cancer tissues was in both cases significantly lower than in corresponding non-cancerous gastric tissues (both P<0.01), but no significant relationship was found with clinicopathological parameters including tumor location, depth of invasion, differentiation, lymph node metastasis, stage, gender, age and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) level in peripheral blood preoperation of patients (P>0.05, respectively). Furthermore, gastrokine 1 gene expression was markedly lower in gastric cancer tissues of Helicobacter pylori (HP)-positive patients than negative ones (P<0.05). The result of the study showed that gastrokine 1 might play a significant role in the process of formation and development of gastric cancer as an anti-oncogene. Its effect might be weakened by HP infection.

The current research concerns the clinicopathological significance of MHC class I chain-related protein A (MICA) expression in oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs). The expression and location of MICA protein in 14 normal oral mucous and 45 cancerous and para-cancerous tissues were assessed by immunohistochemistry and levels of MICA mRNA expression in 29 cancerous and para-cancerous tissues were determined by the real-time polymerase chain reaction. Data were analyzed with the SPSS16.0 software package. MICA was found to be located in the cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Expression was higher in para-cancerous than in cancerous tissues (P < 0.05). However, no statistical difference was found between the following: 1) para-cancerous tissue with normal mucosa; 2) normal mucosa with cancerous tissue;and 3) among different clinicopathological parameters in OSCC (P > 0.05). The level of MICA mRNA was higher in OSCCs than in para-cancerous tissues, and was correlated with the regional lymph node status and disease stage (P < 0.05). The levels of MICA protein and mRNA expression differ among normal oral mucosa, para-cancerous tissue, and cancerous tissue. MICA may contribute to the tumorigenesis and progression of OSCC.

XML is a global standard for the Internet and e-business, and its use is growing in proportion to the spreading speed of e-Commerce. Thus, a policy for providing more safe security service for exchanging e-documents within e-Commerce is necessary. XKMS, one of XML security specification, defines the protocol for distributing and registering public keys for verifying electronic signatures and enciphering e-documents of e-Commerce applications with various and complicate functions. In this paper, we propose X-KISS service reference model and implement service component based on standard specification. Also describes the analysis and security of XML key information service for safe e-Commerce, paying attention to the features of XML based security service. This reference model supported include public key location by given identifier information, the binding of such keys to identifier information. The client service component controls the number of locate threads and validate threads to analyze the minimum requirements of real-time key retrievals. This service modeling offers the security construction guideline for future domestic e-business frameworks.

As the advances of technology in mobile networking and the popularity of online social networks (OSNs), the mobile social networks (MSNs) provide opportunities for marketing strategy. Therefore, understanding the information diffusion in the emerging MSNs is a critical issue. The information diffusion address a problem of how to find the proper initial nodes who can effectively propagate as widely as possible in the minimum amount of time. We propose a new diffusion scheme, called Hotspot DBC, which is to find k influential nodes considering each node's mobility behavior in the hotspot zones. Our experiments were conducted in the Opportunistic Network Environment (ONE) using real GPS trace, to show that the proposed scheme results. In addition, we demonstrate that our proposed scheme outperforms other existing algorithms.

For wind engineering applications downbursts are, presently, almost exclusively modeled, both experimentally and numerically, as transient impinging momentum jets (IJ), even though that model contains none of the physics of real events. As a result, there is no connection between the IJ-simulated downburst wind fields and the conditions of formation of the event. The cooling source (CS) model offers a significant improvement since it incorporates the negative buoyancy forcing and baroclinic vorticity generation that occurs in nature. The present work aims at using large-scale numerical simulation of downburst-producing thunderstorms to develop a simpler model that replicates some of the key physics whilst maintaining the relative simplicity of the IJ model. Using an example of such a simulated event it is found that the non-linear scaling of the velocity field, based on the peak potential temperature (and, hence, density) perturbation forcing immediately beneath the storm cloud, produces results for the radial location of the peak radial outflow wind speeds near the ground, the magnitude of that peak and the time at which the peak occurs that match well (typically within 5%) of those produced from a simple axi-symmetric constant-density dense source simulation. The evolution of the downdraft column within the simulated thunderstorm is significantly more complex than in any axi-symmetric model, with a sequence of downdraft winds that strengthen then weaken within a much longer period (>17 minutes) of consistently downwards winds over almost all heights up to at least 2,500 m.

China has invested for military satellite technology development to construct the space-based surveillance system from existing land-based and aerostat surveillance system since 1960s to react rapidly for deployment of marine force of United States and surrounding nations in west Pacific, south China sea and Indian ocean. China has also launched about 40 the Yaogan military intelligence satellites series for EO, SAR and ELINT fields since 2006 after the required technique with several technical experiment satellites launch and operational test. ELINT satellites transmit data from satellite to earth station in real time with construction space-based network around it. Those data are simultaneously delivered to Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile(ASBM) connected land-based C4ISR network for marine target attack. Therefore China has enhanced surveillance and attack capability to the surrounding marine nations with space-based network around it. In the future, It is considered that China will increase accurate location search, signal processing and analysis ability through a further study on its technology.

Recently, Image processing has been used in many areas. In the image processing techniques that a lot of research is tracking of moving object in real time. There are a number of popular methods for tracking an object such as HOG(Histogram of Oriented Gradients) to track pedestrians, and Codebook to subtract background. However, object extraction has difficulty because that a moving object has dynamic background in the image, and occurs severe lighting changes. In this paper, we propose a method of object extraction using depth image and color image features based on ROI(Region of Interest). First of all, we look for the feature points using the color image after setting the ROI a range to find the location of object in depth image. And we are extracting an object by creating a new contour using the convex hull point of object and the feature points. Finally, we compare the proposed method with the existing methods to find out how accurate extracting the object is.

Web 3D technology can be used to simulate the experiments of scientific, medical, engineering and multimedia visualization. On the web environment, 3D virtual reality can be accessed well without strictly on operating system, location and time. Virtual Reality (VR) is used to depict a three-dimensional, computer generated realistic images, sound and other sensations to replicated a real environment or an imaginary setting which can be explored and interacted with by a person. That person is immersed within virtual environment and is able to manipulate objects or perform a series of action. Virtual environment can be created with X3D which is the ISO standard for defining 3D interactive, web-based 3D content and integrating with multimedia. In this paper, we discuss about X3D VR stereo rendering scene and propose new X3D nodes for the HMD VR (head mounted display virtual reality). The proposed nodes are visualized by the web browser X3DOM of X3D.
