Background The status of flea infestation in dogs is an important public health concern because of their cosmopolitan distribution worldwide and the flea-borne disease transmission. In the present study, we investigated the flea infestation among 116 outdoor dogs (57 females and 59 males) in 8 rural areas of Jeonnam Province, Republic of Korea. Results Thirty-three dogs (28.4%) were infested with...
Background Previous surveys in dogs from Korea indicated that dogs are exposed to a variety of vector- borne pathogens, but perception for a nation-wide canine vector-borne disease (CVBD) occurrence has been missing. We report here results of both serological and molecular prevalence studies for major CVBDs of dogs from all over the South Korean Peninsula except for Jeju Island. Results Serological...
Nowadays, handover is a critical issue for real-time applications in wireless networks. In this paper we propose more efficient handover solution with reducing the number of handover packet for the mobile station (MS) in handover process to scan. It is based on a concept of BSs channel information with a group-based scan technique. The base stations (BSs) choose the number of channel and indicate...
Energy is a critical issue for maintaining the WSNs. In this paper we propose a distributed chain-based routing scheme for energy efficient WSNs. In order to balance the distance between the nodes, the entire area containing the network is partitioned into equal size sub-areas. The nodes in each sub-area are connected into a chain using an algorithm similar to the minimum spanning tree algorithm....
Effective manipulation of context is very important in the research of context-awareness. In recent years, thus, a variety of context models have been proposed to properly handle the key aspects of the context, while focusing on scenario-based acquisition, management, and representation of context. However, they are difficult to be employed for agent system requiring distributed reasoning. In this...
