Emerging peer-to-peer systems benefit from the large amount of resources provided by many peers. However, many peer-to-peer systems or applications suffer from malicious peers and it is not guaranteed that peers are always online. Micropayment systems are accounting and charging mechanism for buying services, so we can apply them to solve these problems. In the past the majority of micropayment system uses a centralized broker but the problem with most existing micropayment system is a heavy load on the broker. For instance, when an owner of the coin is offline, the broker delegates the owner and handles payment messages. It occurs frequently because of characteristic of peer-to-peer system and is another load of the broker. In this paper we introduce DPay, a peer-to-peer micropayment system that uses distributed hash table (DHT) for storing encrypted payment messages and increases scalability and reduces the load of broker by removing downtime protocol. We show the idea of real-time double spending detection in DPay and report the results of several evaluations in order to compare DPay and other payment scheme. In simulation result, the load of broker in DPay is reduced by 30% on average of other previous payment scheme. We expect that DPay can apply various peer-to-peer systems because it provides a real-time double spending detection and stores more secure payment messages.

The present study was disigned to determine the concentration of bioavailable steroid hormones in the atretic follicular fluid (FF). The concentradons of progesterone (P), testosterone (T), estradiol (E), androstenedione (A), and 5-$\alpha$ dihydrotestosterone (DIlT) were determined by the established methods of luminescent immunoassay (LIA) or radioimmunoassay (RIA). Concentrations of T, A and Diff in human FF from smail (< 6 mm). medium (8-15 mm), and large (> 15 mm) atretic follicles were significandy higher than those of normal ones (p < 0.01). However, the levels of T, A and DHT in smail atretic foflicle were significandy lower than those found in normal one. The concentrations of P in atretic FF from porcine small (< 3 mm), medium (4-6 mm), and large (> 7 mm) follicles were not different from that of normal ones. However, the concentration of E in atretic forncles of each group was significantly lower than that of normal group (p < 0.001 in each group). On the other hand, the percentages of bioavailable T (BI) in human FF were significandy (p <0.001) higher than those in normal groups. The BT in normal or atretic FF was more than 90 % of total T. The present result demonstrates that the bioavailable androgen, but not E levels in atretic follicles is higher than that of normal one, and that the atretic mechanism might be dependent on the ovarian forncle size in the developmental stage and on the animal model system. Moreover, the present study suggests that the steroids found in the FF are the bioavailable forms and the concentration of BT in FF could be used as one of the valuable criteria classifying the ovarian atretic follicle.

The purpose of this study was to develop the cost-effective and efficiency seed longevity prediction method of rice (Oryza sativa L.) germplasm for viability monitoring. To find an optimum predicting method for rice seed longevity at genebank, an accelerated ageing (AA) test, a controlled deterioration (CD) test and a dry-heat treatment (DHT) were conducted to the four groups of rice germplasm based on ecotype, such as Indica, Japonica, Javanica and Tongil type. Among the three artificial aging treatments, the dry-heat treatment of 36 hours at $90^{\circ}C$ is suggested as a routine predictive test method of rice germplasm longevity at a genebank. The distribution of germination rate on 3,066 accessions which conserved 26.5 years at $4^{\circ}C$ showed similar trend with the result of distribution by dry-heat treatment at $90^{\circ}C$ on 36 hours using 106 accessions of rice selected samples which composed four ecotype groups. The results show that the dry-heat treatment affect not only predicting the rice seed longevity but also determining effective interval for monitoring germination of rice germplasm in genebanks.

Anthracnose fungus was most pathogenic on soybean sprout, of the fungi and bacteria isolated from rotten sprout on market. Bacterial strains associated were not virulent. Dry heat (DHT) applied even as high as $65^{\circ}C$ for 30min. was not effective enough to eliminate the artificially inoculated Colletotrichum gloeosporioides propagules from seedllots. Hot water immersion treatment (HWT), at elevated temperature of $55^{\circ}C$ for 20 min, did eliminate the pathogen but reduced seed germinating and retarded sprout growth: Seed germination was practically acceptable when the seedlots were exposed to at $55^{\circ}C$ for 5 min, but about 20% anthracnose propagules survived. Accordingly, we have optimized the HWT scheme for 5 min at $60^{\circ}C$. This scheme was validated, at small to large scale production system, that surely rule out the possible carry over of the bacterial contaminant from seedlots. This result should improve the shelf-life of soybean sprout on the market.

The potent biosynthetic precursors, 24$\alpha$-methylcholesterol and 24$\alpha$-methylcholestanol, and the endogenous brassinosteroids (BRs), castasterone (CS) and 6-deoxocastasterone (6-deoxoCS), were identified from shoots of maize seedlings. In addition, the presence for activities of several enzymes involved in the late C6-oxida-lion pathway from 24$\alpha$-methylcholestanol to CS was demonstrated in the plants. However, activity for brassinolide (BL) synthase which catalyze the conversion of CS to BL, the last step of the late C6-oxidation pathway, was not detected in the enzyme solution obtained from the maize shoots. Together with the fact that BL was not identified from the maize shoots, these results strongly suggested that BRs in the maize shoots are biosynthesized during seedling growth and the active BR in the shoots is not BL but CS.

Pastry overlay network is one of structured P2Ps using DHT(Distributed Hash Table). To reduce the number of messages among nodes, Rosary and LAR have been proposed by exploiting spatial locality and caching, respectively, in the Pastry. Rosary consists of Inter-Pastry and Intra-Pastry. A root node is assigned as a representative in each Intra-Pastry and it has the responsibility of Inter-Pastry and Intra-Pastry routing. Therefore, Rosary has several disadvantages; 1) low fault tolerance in case of root node failure 2) routing hop count increases because of the use of root nodes compared to the existing structured P2Ps, and 3) the communication load is concentrated in some specific areas. LAR has inefficient problems in that caching is not distributed among nodes in Intra-Pastry and caching is used by only nodes in the Intra-Pastry. In this paper, we propose an improved Pastry called Doughnut to overcome the above problems of Rosary and LAR. By dividing nodes with the local characteristics, the Doughnut consists of Inter-Pastry and Intra-Pastry, and all nodes have the responsibility of Inter-Pastry and Intra-Pastry routing. This results in that all nodes perform the role of the existing root node. This solves the problems of the reducing of fault-tolerance, the increasing of routing hop count, and the not-distributed communication load. Also Doughnut can use cache effectively because it guarantees the even cache distribution in local(Intra-Pastry) and the cache contents in local can be used in the other local. The proposed algorithm is implemented using simulator and the experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method compared to the existing method.

This fundamental studies on for the productivity improvement and laborsaving of purse seine fishery. Given the difficulty posed from the distortion of net shape caused by the external forces, such as tide, at the time of shooting and pursing, we set the 4 steps of 0, 2, 4 and 6cm/sec in flow velocity in the flume tank for the experiment in order to examine those characteristics. We used two model seines designed on the scale of 1 to 180 based on the power block seine, which is the mackerel purse seine generally used in the near sea of Jeju Island and triplex seine, which is the mackerel purse seine of one boat system fishing expected in the future, for the experiment, and interpreted the characteristics of several motion in water, such as the shape of seine, the change in tension and area during pursing and its the analysis results are as follows. Though the experiment could be conducted up to 6cm/sec of flow velocity that was defined, the experiment could not go on because of the severe distortion in the seine at the flow velocity in excess of 6cm/sec. As for the depth of leadline and reduction rate of side area of seine when the pursing is connected, P seine turned out to be slightly higher than T seine, and the hauling speed and reduction rate of upper area of seine were found similar to each other. The correlation between the hauling time (Ht) and depth of lead line (Dhp, Dht) of P seine and T seine can be expressed by the equation, that is, Dhp=(0.99Pt-7.63)Pt+69.01, Dht=(1.03Pt-7.73)Pt+66.74. The correlation between the hauling time and hauling velocity (Hpp, Hpt) can be expressed by the equation, that is, $Hpp=-0.06Ht^2+0.88Ht+0.78,\;Hpt=-0.05Ht^2+0.81Ht+0.98$ here, Pt is pursing time. And the correlation between the pursing time and the reduction rate of side area (sArp, sArt) can be expressed by the equation, that is, $sArp=-0.48Pt^2+14.79Pt-16.74,\;sArt=-0.45Pt^2+14.56Pt-16.48$. The reduction rate of upper area of seine (tArp, tArt) can be expressed by the equation, that is, $tArp=0.34Pt^2-0.66Pt-0.74,\;tArt=0.34Pt^2-0.27Pt-1.80$. In addition, the correlation between the pursing time and tension of purse line (Tep, Tet) can be expressed by the equation, that is, $Tep=2.79Pt^2+2.26Pt-0.60,\;Tet=2.14Pt^2+8.08Pt-27.50$.

현재 컴퓨팅은 하나의 개인 컴퓨터에서 이런 개인 컴퓨터들이 하나로 묶인 네트워크 컴퓨팅 형태로 발전 되었고, 앞으로 더욱 네트워크 컴퓨팅 중심으로 발전될 것은 자명한 사실이다. 그 가운데 인터넷과 더불어 P2P(Peer-to-Peer) 시스템이 발전되었다. 인터넷을 중심으로 정보통신 분야는 눈부신 발전을 하였지만, 이제 인터넷을 통한 발전도 한계를 맞고 있다. 너무 많은 정보 가운데 사용자가 원하는 정보를 어떻게 찾을 것인가란 문제를 두고 현재 시멘틱 웹[1]을 제시하여 이를 해결하고자 하는 노력들이 있다. 이러한 문제점은 P2P 시스템에서도 동일하게 나타난다. 이를 해결하고자 시멘틱 웹의 요소인 RDF(Resource Description Framework)[2]를 이용한 P2P 시스템[3][4]이 제안되었다. 하지만 DHT(Distributed Hash Table)를 이용한 P2P 시스템의 특성상 연관된 자료라도 어디에 배치될지 알 수 없다. 이러한 특성을 가진 시스템에서 Range Query를 하는 것은 P2P 시스템이 가진 문제였고, 이를 해결할 한 가지 방법을 여기에서 제안한다.

In order to get a desired service in such environments, we need a service discovery method for discovering a device providing that service. In this paper, we propose a service discovery protocol which is based on DHTs (Distributed Hash Tables) to solve these problems. Our protocol is scalable since it does not require a central lookup server and does not rely on multicast or flooding. Simulation results show that our protocol is scalable and outperforms existing service discovery protocols.
