The double helix structure of DNA makes it diverse, stable and can store information with high density, and these characteristics are consistent with the requirements of molecular communication for transport carriers. In this paper, a specific structure of molecular communication system based on DNA length coding is proposed. Transmitter (Tx) adopts the multi-layer golden foil design to control the release of DNA molecules of different lengths accurately, and receiver (Rx) adopts an effective and sensitive design of nanopore, and the biological information can be converted to the electric signal at Rx. The effect of some key factors, e.g., the length of time slot, transmission distance, the number of releasing molecules, the priori probability, on channel capacity is demonstrated exhaustively. Moreover, we also compare the transmission capacity of DNA-based molecular communication (DNA-MC) system and concentration-based molecular communication (MC) system under the same parameter setting, and the peak value of capacity of DNA-MC system can achieve 0.08 bps, while the capacity of MC system remains 0.025 bps. The simulation results show that DNA-MC system has obvious advantages over MC system in saving molecular resources and improving transmission stability.

Nano scale networks are futuristic networks deemed as enablers for the Internet of Nano Things, Body area nano networks, target tracking, anomaly/ abnormality detection at molecular level and neuronal therapy / drug delivery applications. Molecular communication is considered the most compatible communication technology for nano devices. However, connectivity in such networks is very low due to inter-symbol interference (ISI). Few research papers have addressed the issue of ISI mitigation in molecular communication. However, many of these methods are not adaptive to dynamic environmental conditions. This paper presents an enhancement over original Memory-1 ISI cancellation scheme using maximum likelihood estimation of a channel parameter (λ) to make it adaptable to variable channel conditions. Results of the Monte Carlo simulation show that, the connectivity (P_conn) improves by 28% for given simulation parameters and environmental conditions by using enhanced Memory-1 cancellation method. Moreover, this ISI mitigation method allows reduction in symbol time (Ts) up to 50 seconds i.e. an improvement of 75% is achieved.

In this paper, the optimizations of multi-hop cooperative molecular communication (CMC) system in cylindrical anomalous-diffusive channel in three-dimensional enviroment are investigated. First, we derive the performance of bit error probability (BEP) of CMC system under decode-and-forward relay strategy. Then for achieving minimum average BEP, the optimization variables are detection thresholds at cooperative nodes and destination node, and the corresponding optimization problem is formulated. Furthermore, we use conjugate gradient (CG) algorithm to solve this optimization problem to search optimal detection thresholds. The numerical results show the optimal detection thresholds can be obtained by CG algorithm, which has good convergence behaviors with fewer iterations to achieve minimized average BEP compared with gradient decent algorithm and Bisection method which are used in molecular communication.

본 논문에서는 소프트 값을 활용한 Hamming 부호의 복호 방식이 분자 통신 채널에도 적용될 수 있음을 보였다. 분자 통신 시스템의 복조기 출력단에서 복호에 활용될 수 있는 소프트 값 기준을 제안하고 이를 활용한 복호 방식이 분자 통신 채널에서도 신뢰도를 향상시킬 수 있음을 모의실험을 통해 보였다. 확산 기반 분자통신 채널을 가정하였으며 BCSK 변조방식을 이용하여 정보 심벌을 전송하였다. 매 심벌구간 마다 수신기에 흡수되는 분자 수를 적절한 문턱값과 비교하여 복조한 후 흡수된 분자 수는 더 이상 사용되지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 더 이상 사용되지 않는 분자수 정보를 소프트 값으로 복호 과정에 활용하여 복호기의 BER 성능을 개선하였다. BER 성능 향상을 확인하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 비트 당 분자수가 600인 경우 해밍 부호를 사용하지 않은 BCSK 시스템의 오율에 대해 (15,11) 해밍 부호의 오율이 약 5.0×10^-3 정도 개선되었으며 이에 대해 소프트 값을 활용한 (15,11) 해밍 부호의 오율은 동일한 정도로 개선되었음을 볼 수 있었다. (7,4) 해밍 부호의 경우에도 (15,11) 해밍 부호와 유사한 결과를 보여준다. 따라서 수신기에 흡수된 분자수와 문턱 값의 차이 값을 소프트 값으로 활용하면 분자통신 채널에서도 해밍 부호의 BER 성능을 크게 개선할 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

Litho printing ink vehicles based on rosin modified phenolic are faster drying, have better durability, are harder and glosser and have greater resistance to water than ones based on ester gums. Ink-Water balance and rheological properties are important in litho printing process. These physical properties is concerned with molecular weight of Resin to use vehicle. So this paper was studied about the effects of changing molecular weight of Rosin modified phenolic on surface tension, viscosity, pseudoplasticity and printability of Litho Inks. The results were as follows. 1) The surface tension of model inks depended on the molecular \veight of the resin : Dispersion componnent of ink increase but non dispersion component decrease as molecular weight of Resin increase. 2) Water pick-up of litho ink is more fast balance, using low molecular weight of Resin. 3) Viscosity, Yield value and Newtonian value of model inks increase as molecular weight of Resin increase. 4) The litho ink prepared with the modified phenolic of which molecular weight is about 20000 showed the highest printing density and gloss.

Modified phenolics can have a retarding effect on the gelation of wood oil. Modified phenolic resins can be used in media for paint, varnishes, primers, overprinting varnishes, litho, letterpress and rotogravure inks. Varnishes based on rosin phenolic are faster drying, have better durability, are harder and glosser, and have greater resistance to water than ones based on ester gums. These physical properties is concerned with molecular weight distribution of rosin modified phenol resin. This paper was studied about molecular weight distribution of rosin phenolics which were prepared between $130~250^{\circ}C$. The results were as follows: 1) Average molecular weights inereased with increasing reaction temperature. 2) $M_w/M_n$ were from 3.43 to 46.44 with increasing reaction temperature and so the molecular weight distributions were changed from random distribution to broad distribution. 3) The relation ship between intrinsic viscosity and weight average molecular weight was follows: $[{\;}{\;}]={\;}1{\times}{\;}10^{-6}M_w,{\;}M_w=M_w$ 4) Esterification reaction between the acid group of rosin and polyol was started about $230^{\circ}C$$.

Quorum sensing (QS) is a bacterium-to-bacterium cell communication mechanism allowing bio-cell network construction but such mechanism is not well defined yet. We construct a QS-based multiple access network (MAN) and then numerically analyse its average uplink channel capacity as well as BER performance over diffusion-based 3-D molecular communication channels.

To examine how the difference of molecular weight distribution of cellulase influenced the beating process according to surface pore size of the fiber, high molecular weight enzyme and low one were applied to soft wood pulp, hard wood pulp, cotton linter pulp. Some enzymes with the distribution of low molecular weight penetrated into cellulose in the proportion of surface pore size and the results were negative as like : the low viscosity, decrease of refining Yield, decrease of fine fibers content and so on. But in cotton linter pulp in the small surface area, the fiber softness was increased and it had a positive result that the paper intensity was high. Other enzymes with the distribution of high molecular weight had an enzyme reaction on the most surfaces of cellulose. They were effective in eliminating the fuzz of hydrophile fine fibers and the freeness was increased.
