In this paper, we propose an architecture of name service system which can provide mobile nodes in IPv6 mobile ad-hoc network with the name-to-address resolution and service discovery. Because mobile ad-hoc network has dynamic topology, the current DNS is not appropriate to name service in mobile ad-hoc network. We suggest the design and implementation of name service system suitable for the mo...

The problem for dynamic IP address assignment is manifest in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), especially in 4G all-IP-based heterogeneous networks. In this paper, we propose a ring-based address autoconfiguration protocol to configure node addresses. This work aims at the decentralized ring-based address autoconfiguration (DRAA) protocol, which has the capability to perform low latency and whos...

In heterogeneous networks, femtocells are introduced to improve the network capacity. However, dense deployment of femtocells leads to undesirable interference, which degrades the performance of the system. Controlling the femtocell transmission power is one of the factors that can be considered to alleviate undesirable effect of the interference. Also, it can be used to support auto-configurat...

A new method is proposed for recovering 3D human poses in video sequences taken from a single uncalibrated camera. This is achieved by exploiting two important constraints observed from human bipedal motion: coplanarity of body key points during the mid-stance position and the presence of a foot on the ground – i.e. static foot during most activities. Assuming 2D joint locations have been extra...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the improved effectiveness of a disease management treatment protocol incorporating comprehensive lipid profiling and targeted lipid care based on lipid profile findings in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) or congestive heart failure (CHF) enrolled in a managed care plan. This retrospective cohort study, conducted over a 2-year period, compa...

automobile body plays crucial role in preventing the collision energy transfer in severe accidents to the passengers. if the collision energy is dissipated or saved in bumper or chassis, the amount of damage to the occupants would be minimized. using novel laminated panel (fiber metal laminate) in auto body, and considering the characteristics such as high energy absorption, strength, high dent...

Introduction Auto-ignition of cooking oils causes a significant proportion of household fires [1,2]. In addition, the majority of the 50% of all accidental fires in hotels, restaurants and fast food outlets that start in kitchens involve liquid cooking oil or fat as the primary ignition source [3,4]. The potential risk of loss of life and property damage due to cooking oils fires is high. Cooki...

With the aim to investigate the outcome of tandem high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDCT/auto-SCT) for high-grade gliomas (HGGs), we retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 30 patients with HGGs (16 glioblastomas, 7 anaplastic astrocytomas, and 7 other HGGs) between 2006 and 2015. Gross or near total resection was possible in 11 patients. Front-line treatm...

Interest in peripheral refractive errors has increased as it was hypothesized that peripheral hypermetropia might provide a stimulus for axial elongation (Smith et al., 2005), this study was to determine relative peripheral refractive errors (RPRE) of the eyes of a group of Chinese children and adults. Central and peripheral (20 degrees , 30 degrees , 40 degrees at nasal, temporal, superior and...

ART2a (RT6.1) and ART2b (RT6.2) are NAD glycohydrolases (NADases) that are linked to T lymphocytes by glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchors. Although both mature proteins possess three conserved regions (I, II, III) that form the NAD-binding site and differ by only ten amino acids, only ART2b is auto-ADP-ribosylated and only ART2a is glycosylated. To investigate the structural basis for these di...
