Abstract: A method of efficiently transmitting/receiving data using a transport layer in a mobile ad hoc network, and a network device using the method. The method includes a first step of setting, by a sending host, a flag for requesting an ACK-response into a predetermined packet of packets contained in a window for data transmission; a second step of sending, by the sending host, the packet with the flag set thereinto and other packets without any flags contained in the window to a receiving host; and a third step of, by the receiving host, receiving the packets transmitted in the second step, and sending the ACK-response to the packet with the flag set thereinto among the received packets.

Abstract: A method for adjusting a transmission rate in the transmission control protocol (TCP) under a mobile ad hoc network environment, including calculating a difference value (Diff) between the current transmission rate (cur_bw) and the previous transmission rate (base_bw), setting up upper and lower thresholds by calculating the standard variation (basebw_var) of the previous transmission rate, and updating the previous transmission rate to the current transmission rate depending upon a comparison result of Diff and the size of the upper and lower thresholds.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fusion protein which delivers a functional protein or peptide into a cell at enhanced efficiency. The fusion protein of the present invention is a transduction domain-target protein-transduction domain fusion protein, wherein the transduction domain, which comprises 6-12 amino acid residues whose more than ¾ consist of arginine or lysine residues, is covalently bonded to each of the amino- and carboxyl-terminal ends of the target protein. Green fluorescence protein and Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutate (SOD) are used as the target protein.

Abstract: The invention relates to a therapeutic composition for broad spectrum dermal disease and in particular, to a composition comprising principal lipid components of skin, preferably having about 30 to 90% by weight of a carrier for applying to skin; 0.01 to 5.0% by weight of sphingolipid long-chain base; 0.001 to 1.0% by weight of lysophosphatidic acid; and 1 to 40% by weight of organic or inorganic additives. The composition is useful for the treatment and improvement of atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne, ichthyosis, infectious dermatitis, pruritus, erythema derived from pruritus, vulnus, chapping of skin and ulcer, etc.

Abstract: A composition and a kit for treating cancer comprising N,N-dimethylphytosphingosine. The composition represses the activity of sphingosine kinase, and therefore, intercepts various mechanisms which sphingosine kinase induces. For example, the composition blocks the phosphorylation of ceramide and sphingosine, thereby maintaining high concentration of ceramide and sphingosine. The ceramide and sphingosine induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Therefore, the composition according to the present invention induces apoptosis in cancer cells and accordingly kills the cancer cells.

Abstract: A coaxial oscillating axisymmetric engine is disclosed. The engine is provided with a rotor having a plurality of rotating blades, the blades being movable relative to a plurality of fixed blades of a stator in opposite directions while forming expansion and compression chambers in each cylinder of a housing assembly. The rotor thus generates rotational force transmitted to an output shaft through a power transmission unit. The transmission unit has two guide rails, inwardly mounted to the rotor at diametrically opposed positions and individually having a guide channel. A slider movably engages with each of the guide rails so as to be linearly movable along the guide channel. A ball housing is coaxial and axisymmetrically coupled to the slider and is rotatively coupled to each of the drive shaft.
