It is for sure that a stable game managing system is absolutely needed to accept simultaneous interfacing of many users for P2P on-line game system. The proposed P2P on-line game system in this paper is able to get smart and stable game managing taking care of extensive players through reorganizing numerous RS(Region Server) and mutual communications among RS's which can be avoid congestion on one region. Moreover, it is possible to synchronize for game nodes in time stamp utilizing Global Zone Buffer of Monitoring Server which leads to breakup loads. The system manages middleware layers in the so-called sub area, and it is able to execute no matter how big the game sizes are. That means, in some ways, we got everything we try to ensure such as the problems of high cost server and stabilization of message transmission. This paper welcomes to prove efficiency of the suggested system through the simulation.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of devices embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and connectivity which enables these objects to connect and exchange data without any human intervention. The importance of time information is increased in order to impose order on scattered sensor data streams, resolving conflicts through time stamp information and so on. Time information and time synchronization are critical building blocks in the IoT. They allow devices to share a consistent notion of time and it is easier to build efficient and robust collaborative services. This paper proposes a standard time management scheme in the Internet of Things. Many IoT applications involve collection and forwarding of event data. It is useful to know when an event occurs for the purposes of triggering an action. In order to verify the feasibility of the proposed scheme, it is implemented and evaluated in the Arduino development environment.

The broadcast environment has asymmetric communication aspect that is typically much greater communication bandwidth available from server to clients than in the opposite direction. In addition, mobile computing systems generate mostly read-only transactions from mobile clients for retrieving different types of information such as stock data, traffic information and news updates. Since previous concurrency control protocols, however, do not consider such a particular characteristics, the performance degradation occurs when previous schemes are applied to the broadcast environment. In this paper, we propose optimistic concurrency control based on timestamp interval for broadcast environment. The following requirements are satisfied by adapting weak consistency that is the appropriate correctness criterion of read-only transactions: (1) the mutual consistency of data maintained by the server and read by clients (2) the currency of data read by clients. We also adopt the timestamp Interval protocol to check the weak consistency efficiently. As a result, we improved a performance by reducing unnecessary aborts and restarts of read-only transactions caused when global serializability was adopted.

With the development of smartphones, the number of applications for smartphone increases sharply. As a result, users need to try several times to find their favorite apps. In order to solve this problem, we propose a recommendation system to provide an appropriate app list based on the user's log information including time stamp, location, application list, and so on. The proposed approach learns three recommendation models including Naive-Bayesian model, SVM model, and Most-Frequent Usage model using temporal and spatial attributes. In order to figure out the best model, we compared the performance of these models with variant features, and suggest an hybrid method to improve the performance of single models.

A conical roll-shaping process was proposed for fabrication of a metallic spiral blade applied to a small-scale wind turbine system. A spiral blade has continuously different curvatures, with a range of 100 to 350 mm radius. To fabricate this complex shape, we developed a conical roll-shaping process having two main conical rollers for feeding a blank sheet, and two cylindrical side rollers for control of local bending. For clear understanding of the process parameters, numerical analyses were conducted using a commercial code, Pam-Stamp. This study optimized the effects of process parameters, such as gap and angle between the main rollers and side rollers, and also the movement of side rollers. In order to increase the forming efficiency, a central rotation point was also calculated by the analytical approach. This developed rolling process can thus be utilized in a sheet metal forming process for obtaining spirally curved sheet metal shapes.

In this study, formability and springback behavior of 1.5 GPa grade ultra-high strength steel (UHSS) sheet were predicted through the finite element simulation, and structural stability of the forming dies was verified by the coupled forming-structural analysis. Uniaxial tension and uniaxial tension-compression tests were performed to obtain experimental data for modeling the springback properties of the sheet material. The springback values predicted by simulation were compared with those from actual measurements. The results calculated from the kinematic hardening model were found to be much more accurate than those from the isotropic hardening model. Deformation of the forming die and springback of the product were calculated by the coupled forming-structural analysis. The higher the strength of the die material, the smaller the surface displacement of the die and the springback of the product. The internal stresses of the dies made of three materials, FC300, FCD550 and STD11 were compared with the yield stress of each material. The results provided a basis for determining the most suitable material for each part of the die set. As a result, simulation techniques have been established for predicting formability and springback in the UHSS sheet forming process.

A spirally arrayed nano-pattern is designed as a model pattern for the next generation optical storage media. The pattern consists off types of embossed rectangular dot, which are 50nm, 100nm, 150nm and 200nm in length and 50nm in width. The height of the dot is designed to be 50nm. The pitch of the spiral track of the pattern is 100nm. A ER(Electron resist) master for this pattern is fabricated by e-beam lithography process. The ER is first spin-coated to be 50nm thick on a Si wafer and then the model pattern is written on the coated ER layer by e-beam. After developing this pattern written wafer in the solution, a ER pattern master is fabricated. The most conventional e-beam machine can write patterns in orthogonal way, so we made our own pattern generator which can write the pattern in circular or spiral way. This program generates the patterns to be compatible with the e-beam machine from Raith(Raith 150). To fabricate 50nm pattern master precisely, a series of experiments were done including the design compensation for the pattern size, optimization of the dose, acceleration voltage, aperture size and developing. Through these experiments, we conclude that the higher accelerating voltages and smaller aperture size are better for mastering the nano pattern which is in order of 50nm. With the optimized e-beam lithography process, a spiral arrayed 50nm pattern master adopting PMMA resist was fabricated to have dimensional accuracy over 95% compared to the designed. Using this pattern master, a metal pattern stamp will be fabricated by Ni electro plating for injection molding of the patterned plastic substrate.

A2B adenosine receptor (A2BAR) is known to be the regulator of bone homeostasis, but its regulatory mechanisms in osteoclast formation are less well-defined. Here, we demonstrate the effect of A2BAR stimulation on osteoclast differentiation and activity by RANKL. A2BAR was expressed in bone marrow-derived monocyte/macrophage (BMM) and RANKL increased A2BAR expression during osteoclastogenesis. A2BAR stimulation with its specific agonist BAY 60-6583 was sufficient to inhibit the activation of ERK1/2, p38 MAP kinases and $NF-{\kappa}B$ by RANKL as well as it abrogated cell-cell fusion in the late stage of osteoclast differentiation. Stimulation of A2BAR suppressed the expression of osteoclast marker genes, such as c-Fos, TRAP, Cathepsin-K and NFATc1, induced by RANKL, and transcriptional activity of NFATc1 was also inhibited by stimulation of A2BAR. A2BAR stimulation caused a notable reduction in the expression of Atp6v0d2 and DC-STAMP related to cell-cell fusion of osteoclasts. Especially, a decrease in bone resorption activity through suppression of actin ring formation by A2BAR stimulation was observed. Taken together, these results suggest that A2BAR stimulation inhibits the activation of ERK1/2, p38 and $NF-{\kappa}B$ by RANKL, which suppresses the induction of osteoclast marker genes, thus contributing to the decrease in osteoclast cell-cell fusion and bone resorption activity.

In this study, etched Al electrodes with ordered arrays of pits and high aspect ratios were successively obtained using a patterned protect layer on the Al surface prepared with soft lithography method. Various methods were applied to fabricate a well ordered protect layer on the Al surface and the difference of etched Al surfaces with and without a protect layer was investigated by using SEM. It was found that the etched Al surfaces were affected by using either a protect layer or a non protect layer. As a result, the Al surface with the well ordered pits could be achieved by protect layer. However, the etched Al with nonuniform pits can be obtained without any protect layers.

Do loanword properties emerge in the acquisition of a foreign language and if so, how? Classic studies in adult language learning assumed loanword properties that range from near-ceiling to near-chance level of appearance depending on speech proficiency. The present research argues that such variations reflect different phonological types, rather than speech proficiency. To investigate the difference between learner speech and loanword phonology, the current research analyzes the speech data from five different proficiency levels of 92 Korean speakers who read 19 pairs of English words and sentences that contained loanwords. The experimental method is primarily an acoustical one, by which the phonological cause in the loanwords (e.g., the insertion of [$\Box$] at the end of the word stamp) would be attested to appear in learner speech, in comparison with native speech from 11 English speakers and 11 Korean speakers. The data investigated for the research are of segment deletion, insertion, substitution, and alternation in both learner speech and the native speech. The results indicate that learner speech does not present the loanword properties in many cases, but depends on the types of phonological causes. The relatively easy acquisition of target pronunciation is evidenced in the cases of segment deletion, insertion, substitution, and alternation, except when the loanword property involves the successful command of the target phonology such as the de-aspiration of [p] in apple. Such a case of difficult learning draws a sharp distinction from the cases of easy learning in the development of learner speech, particularly beyond the intermediate level of proficiency. Overall, learner speech departs from loanword phonology and develops toward the native speech value, depending on phonological contrasts in the native and foreign languages.
