Performance analysis of smart grid communication protocol DNP3 over TCP/IP in a heterogeneous traffic environment

This paper presents simulation results of the DNP3 communication protocol over a TCP/IP network, for Smart Grid applications. The simulation was performed using the NS-2 network simulator. This study aimed to use the simulation to verify the performance of the DNP3 protocol in a heterogeneous LAN. Analyzing the results it was possible to verify that the DNP3 over a heterogeneous traffic network, with communication channel capacity between 60 and 85 percent, it works well with low packet loss and low delay, however, with traffic values upper 85 percent, the DNP3 usage becomes unfeasible because the information lost, re-transmissions and latency are significantly increased. © 2013 IEEE.

Análise clínica, tomográfica e histológica comparativa entre ha+β-tcp isolado ou associado a proteínas derivadas do esmalte utilizadas como enxertos após a elevação da membrana do seio maxilar e colocação de implantes: estudo piloto

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical, tomographic, and histological similarity within the use of HA+β-TCP (Boneceramic) alone or associated with enamel matrix derived (EMD) proteins in sinus lifting procedures with subsequent dental implant placement. We selected two patients with residual bony ridges between 3 mm and 5 mm in height in need of bone grafts. Six months later, eight implants were installed (two implants at each site). Biopsies were made, and the tissue was processed and stained with HE solution. Tomographic evaluation showed bone height gain up to 10.0 mm on average. Histology showed new bone formation for both groups, with similar bone density and trabecular interconnectivity. It can be concluded that the HA+β-TCP graft isolated or associated to EMD provided bone height gain in sinus lifting procedures, with similar clinical, tomographic and histological characteristics.

In vitro and in vivo biological behavior of CDHA/OCP/β-TCP scaffold

The biological behavior of a new bioactive material composed of calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite, octacalcium phosphate, and beta-tricalcium phosphate was investigated by in vitro indirect and direct cytotoxicity, cell adhesion and proliferation tests, and by in vivo subcutaneous and bone implantation in rats. The results of the in vitro studies showed that the material is biocompatible and no cytotoxic. Slightly poorer initial cell adhesion and lower cell proliferation than in control was observed, which were attributed to the reactivity and roughness of the material surface, In vivo results showed that the material is biodegradable and bioactive in bone tissue, but only biocompatible and partially biodegradable in soft tissue.

Quality Metric to Assess Video Streaming Service over TCP considering Temporal Location of Pauses

There is a wide range of video services over complex transmission networks, and in some cases end users fail to receive an acceptable quality level. In this paper, the different factors that degrade users' quality of experience (QoE) in video streaming service that use TCP as transmission protocol are studied. In this specific service, impairment factors are: number of pauses, their duration and temporal location. In order to measure the effect that each temporal segment has in the overall video quality, subjective tests. Because current subjective test methodologies are not adequate to assess video streaming over TCP, some recommendations are provided here. At the application layer, a customized player is used to evaluate the behavior of player buffer, and consequently, the end user QoE. Video subjective test results demonstrate that there is a close correlation between application parameters and subjective scores. Based on this fact, a new metrics named VsQM is defined, which considers the importance of temporal location of pauses to assess the user QoE of video streaming service. A useful application scenario is also presented, in which the metrics proposed herein is used to improve video services(1).

Criteri di valutazione del protocollo TCP

La diffusione di Internet negli ultimi anni e lo sviluppo sempre crescente nell'ambito delle reti di telecomunicazione, hanno portato oggi ad una vera e propria esplosione della diffusione di nuove tecnologie di trasmissione. Inizialmente il protocollo di trasporto dati, TCP, non era stato pensata per operare in scenari diversi da quello della rete fissa. Con l'introduzione di nuovi scenari, come quello wireless, wimax e satellitare, si è notato come le prestazioni peggiorino in questi ambienti. Proprio per questo, il protocollo TCP ha subito parecchie modifiche negli anni e sono state realizzate alternative atte a migliorare l'inefficienza del protocollo. Le modifiche, a cui il TCP è stato sottoposto, sono basate su alcuni criteri di valutazione e l'introduzione di meccanismi come il controllo del flusso o il controllo di congestione in modo da migliorare le performance in ambienti “ostili”. Molti ricercatori si sono concentrati nello studio e modifica di questi nuovi meccanismi cercando di adattare al meglio il TCP secondo diversi scenari di rete, trascurando così altri criteri un pò meno noti. Dopo aver introdotto lo scenario con la descrizione del protocollo TCP, andremo a descrivere e illustrare questi “nuovi criteri” presentando alcuni recenti studi effettuati, in seguito andremo a presentare un nuova versione del protocollo chiamata Early Warning TCP e nell'ultimo capitolo andremo a presentare delle conclusioni degli studi presentati.
