For higher reliability against a link failure of a control network in railway vehicles, a recovery mechanism is needed. We introduce a problem that, when a link failure occurs in a ring-topology control network, a node may experience a significant increase of transmission delay depending on its relative position within the network. We then propose two mechanisms to solve this problem: (1) differentiating and prioritizing node traffic in forwarding; and (2) switching some nodes to a backup bus-topology network. Our simulation study shows that, while the first mechanism achieves a limited gain by only compensating queuing delay, the second one gets a sufficient gain which is impacted by the number of nodes switched to the bus network.

Therapeutic hypothermia in cardiac arrest patients is associated with favorable outcomes mediated via neuroprotective mechanisms. We report a rare case of a 32-year-old male who demonstrated complete recovery of signal changes on perfusion-weighted imaging after therapeutic hypothermia due to cardiac arrest. Brain MRI with perfusion-weighted imaging, performed three days after ending the hypothermia therapy, showed a marked decrease in relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and delay in mean transit time (MTT) in the bilateral basal ganglia, thalami, brain stem, cerebellum, occipitoparietal cortex, and frontotemporal cortex. However, no cerebral ischemia was not noted on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) or fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences. A follow-up brain MRI after one week showed complete resolution of the perfusion deficit and the patient was discharged without any neurologic sequelae. The mechanism and interpretation of the perfusion changes in cardiac arrest patients treated with therapeutic hypothermia are discussed.

This paper proposes an efficient authentication scheme for multicast packet using recovery layer to provide source authentication. The problems of the existing schemes are as follows ： TESLA requires time synchronization between the sender and the receiver, md hash-based schemes have high communication overheads due to additional hash values and require many buffers and delay for verification on receivers. Our main focus is reducing the buffer size, communication and computation burden of the receiver. The proposed scheme in this paper is highly robust to packet loss using the recovery layer based on XOR operation. It also provides low communication overhead, low verification cost, non-repudiation of the origin, immediate verification and robustness against DoS attack on the receiver.

Background: The prognosis of recovery following microneurosurgery for injured lingual nerves varies among individual cases. This study aimed to investigate if recovery ratios of sensory and taste functions are improved by the microneurosurgery within 6 months after lingual nerve injury. Methods: We retrospectively assessed 70 patients who underwent microneurosurgery at the Wakayama Medical University Hospital for lingual nerve injuries between July 2004 and December 2016. Sensory and taste functions in lingual nerves were preoperatively evaluated using a static two-point discrimination test, an intact superficial pain/tactile sensation test, and a taste discrimination test. They were evaluated again at 12 and at 24 months postoperatively. The abundance ratio of Schwann cells in the excised traumatic neuromas was analyzed with ImageJ software following immunohistochemistry with anti S-100β antibody. Results: In early cases (microneurosurgery within 6 months after the injury), recovery ratios of sensory and taste functions were not significantly different at 24 months after microneurosurgery compared with later cases (microneurosurgery more than 6 months after the injury). Meanwhile, the ratio of patients with taste recovery within 12 months after microneurosurgery was significantly decreased in late cases compared with early cases. The abundance ratio of Schwann cells in traumatic neuroma was also significantly lower in later cases. Conclusion: Microneurosurgery more than 6 months after lingual nerve injury did not lead to decreased recovery ratio of sensory and taste functions, but it did lead to prolonged recovery of taste. This delay may be associated with a decrease in the abundance ratio of Schwann cells in traumatic neuromas.

In this paper, we propose a P2P based IPTV system using a multiple chain architecture. Proposed system is robust to the peer churn. As opposed to the internet the IPTV network managed by a single ISP has fewer bandwidth constraints and end-to-end connectivity. So, we emphasize preferentially robustness of a P2P network in IPTV environment. A single chain structure which was proposed previously emphasizes simplicity, however there exists considerable delay time at the end part of peers as the number of peers increasing. As a solution to the problem, we propose the scheme which seperates the chain into several levels and again divides each level into spans to diminish a delay time. Though the chain is separated into level and span, basic structure of proposed scheme is still a chain structure. So the scheme simplifies the recovery procedure caused by join or departure of peers. We will show the improved performance of proposed scheme rather than single chain structure with respect to the delay time and reliability.

The recovery and recrystallization behavior of cold-rolled Zr-based alloys during isothermal annealing at temperatures from $575^{\circ}C$ to $650^{\circ}C$ was studied by thermoelectric power and Vickers microhardness measurement. The recovery and recrystallization resulted in the increase of TEP doe to the extinction of lattice defect, vacancy, dislocation and stacking fault during isothermal annealing after cold- rolling. The completion of recrystallization could be determined much clearly by TEP behavior than by microhardness change in Zr-based alloys. Especially, the recovery and recrystallization were classified separately by TEP behavior in Zr-0.4Nb-xSn alloys. From the analysis of TEP behavior and microhardness, the addition of Sn caused to form the interaction between stain field and dislocation, which resulted in the delay of recovery in Zr-based alloys. The precipitation due the addition of Nb suppressed the grain growth after recrystallization effectively in Zr-based alloys.

Ad hoc network은 stationary infrastructure의 도움 없이 이동 노드들이 필요 시 network 형태을 구성하여 통신이 이루어지게 하는 network으로 ad hoc network 환경에 맞는 다양한 라우팅 프로토콜들이 개발되었고 크게는 table­driven, on­demand 방식으로 나눌 수 있는데 on­demand 방식의 AODV 프로토콜은 routing overhead가 적다는 장점이 있는 반면 single path로 data forwarding을 진행하여 중간노드의 이동에 의한 path가 broken되는 경우 local routing을 하거나 새로이 source­initialed route rediscovery을 수행하여 전송 delay 및 control traffic overhead 등을 높이는 결과를 발생 시켰다. 본 논문은 single path로 구성되는 AODV 프로토콜의 route failures시 문제점을 보완한 Associativity Based Redundancy path Routing(ABRR) 및 Alternate Redundancy path Routing(ARR) schemes을 제안한다. 첫째, ABRR은 main path상에 있는 각 노드들은 associativity based stable node 정보를 이용하여 path broken 이전에 local redundancy path을 구성하여 path broken시 local routing없이 route을 복구할 수 있게 하고 둘째, ARR은 source­initialed route discovery에 의해 alternate path을 구성하여 ABRR 그리고 local routing에 의해 main route recovery 실패 시 alternate path을 main path로 전환하여 control traffic overhead 및 전송 delay을 줄이게 한다.

Objective : Surgery for the microvascular decompression is mostly concerned with injury to the cranial nerves or brain stem by cerebellar retraction. Intraopeartive brain stem auditory evoked potentials(BAEPs) has been continuously monitored on surgery to evaluate the extent of injury, recovery of the nerves and prognosis. Methods : Of the 161 cases of CP angle surgery from Feb. 1996 to Apr. 1998, 103 cases were monitored during operation. Thirty five patients who had undergone similar surgery were selected and evaluated ; 23 patients were monitored and 12 were not during surgery. If monitor showed more than 0.5 mSec delay of latency, surgeon was given a warning not to retract brain any more. If more than 1mSec delay, surgeon was informed to stop surgery and wait for the returning of evoked potentials. The level of amplitudes and delay of latencies during the initial stage of operation, opening the dura, insertion of teflon patches, and closing the dura and recovery were then compared. Resuls : Twenty patients were male and 15 were female. Their average age was 50.26 years. Mean amplitude during the initial stage of operation was $0.60{\pm}0.25mV$, at opening the dura $0.56{\pm}0.26$, after teflon patches insertion $0.49{\pm}0.20$, and after closure of dura $0.47{\pm}0.28mV$. Mean latency during the early stage of operation was $6.08{\pm}0.67mSec$, at opening of dura $6.38{\pm}0.55$, insertion of teflon $6.97{\pm}0.59$, and closing the dura $6.17{\pm}0.54$. There was statistical significance in the difference of amplitudes between each procedures, and in the difference of latencies. For the complete recovery of amplitude and latency, it usually took average 5.65 minutes(0-20 min). In monitored group, only one patient required more than 20 minutes to recover and suffered from hearing disturbance after surgery. Others were recovered within 10 minutes without complications. However, 4 out of 12 patients who were not monitored showed hearing disturbance, and 1 patient had temporary facial palsy and dizziness(p＝0.000). Conclusion : The results indicate that continuous intraoperative monitoring of BAEPs during CP angle surgery is seen mandatory procedure to prevent operative complications.

In this paper, a 3.2Gb/s clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit for a high-speed serial data communication without the reference clock is described This CDR circuit consists of 5 parts as Phase and frequency detector(PD and FD), multi-phase Voltage Controlled-Oscillator(VCO), Charge-pumps (CP) and external Loop-Filter(KF). It is adapted the PD and FD, which incorporates a half-rate bang-bang type oversampling PD and a half-rate FD that can improve pull-in range. The VCO consists of four fully differential delay cells with rail-to-rail current bias scheme that can increase the tuning range and tuning linearity. Each delay cell has output buffers as a full-swing generator and a duty-cycle mismatch compensation. This materialized CDR can achieve wide pull-in range without an extra reference clock and it can be also reduced chip area and power consumption effectively because there is no additional Phase Locked- Loop(PLL) for generating reference clock. The CDR circuit was designed for fabrication using 0.18um 1P6M CMOS process and total chip area excepted LF is $1{\times}1mm^2$. The pk-pk jitter of recovered clock is 26ps at 3.2Gb/s input data rate and total power consumes 63mW from 1.8V supply voltage according to simulation results. According to test result, the pk-pk jitter of recovered clock is 55ps at the same input data-rate and the reliable range of input data-rate is about from 2.4Gb/s to 3.4Gb/s.
