In this paper, we summarise and present results on involution lengths and commutator lengths of certain linear groups such as special linear groups, projective linear groups, upper triangle matrix groups and Vershik-Kerov groups. Some open problems motivated by these results are also proposed.

In this paper, we propose a new variable length block cipher. It has a variable key length from 128-bit to 256-bit and uses a variable number of rounds. In each round, the proposed algorithm uses the double involution structure which consists of tow steps and two different F functions. In addition, the proposed algorithm has two different key schedulings for providing the strength against known attacks.

본 논문에서는 새로운 가변길이 블록 암호알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 블록 암호알고리즘은 128비트에서 256비트까지의 가변적인 키 길이를 가지며 가변적인 라운드 수를 사용한다. 각 라운드는 서로 다른 두 개의 F함수를 사용하여 2단계로 구성되는 double involution 구조를 사용하며, 또한 두 개의 서로 다른 키 스케줄링 알고리즘을 사용하여 알려진 공격에 대해 안전하도록 설계하였다.

Purpose : Conservative management of multicystic dysplastic kidney(MCDK) without nephrectomy has recently been advocated. The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical course of conservatively managed MCDK and to find out possible predictive factors for involution of MCDK by ultrasonography(US). Methods : A retrospective analysis was made on 45 patients(26 boys and 20 girls) in whom MCDK was detected and had been traced by US between Dec. 1993 and Aug. 2005 at Severance Hospital. Results : Median follow-up time was 30 months(range 2-102 months). All patients under-went radionuclide scans and voiding eystourethrograms. The serial follow-up US showed complete involution in 11(24%), partial involution in 19(41%), and no interval change or increased in cyst size in 13(28%) patients. Nephrectomy was done in 3 patients(7%) due to relapsing urinary tract infection(UTI) and severe abdominal distension. The mean age of complete involution of MCDK was 37 months(range 12-84 months). Episodes of UTI were present in 17 patients(37%) and additional genitourinary(GU) abnormalities were found in 22 patients(44%). Hypertension and renal insufficiency was complicated in one patient. No child developed malignant tumor. Univariate analysis showed that five variables were associated with complete involution of the MCDK; gender, site, UTI episode, additional GU abnormalities, and renal length on initial US. After adjusting using the Pearson model, the presence of additional GU abnormalities was exclusively associated with complete involution among the 5 variables(P=0.034). Conclusion : In our review of 46 cases of MCDK, non-surgical approach for patients with MCDK was advisable and we could predict poor prognosis when MCDK is associated with other GU anomalies.

ARIA is a 128-bit block cipher having 128-bit, 192-bit, or 256-bit key length. The cipher is a substitution and permutation encryption network (SPN) and uses an involutional binary matrix. This structure was efficiently developed into light weight environments or hardware implementations. This paper shows that a careless implementation of an ARIA on smartcards is vulnerable to a differential power analysis attack This attack is realistic because we can measure power consumption signals at two kinds of S-boxes and two types of substitution layers. By using the two round key, we extracted the master key (MK).

We investigated the characteristics of embryonic and abnormal organ development in haploid olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, by comparing egg development and histological sections in haploid and diploid individuals. After the mid-blastula transition, abnormal development was observed in haploid fish, including delayed epiboly and malformation of the germ ring and embryonic body. In haploid flounder, Kupffer’s vesicles are irregularly shaped and of variable size compared to diploids. The embryonic body of haploids was shorter and broader than that of diploids and the tail length and size were variable. Most haploid embryos failed to hatch and the few larvae that did, did not survive for more than 6 h. The histological analysis of haploid larvae revealed deformed development in diverse organs, including the eye, otic vesicles, notochord, and neural tube. These results may be related to an abnormality in the axial system of haploid larvae. This study confirmed that the abnormalities of haploid olive flounder were similar to the reported characteristics of haploid syndrome. The abnormalities are caused by delayed epiboly and involution and deformity of Kupffer’s vesicle during egg development.
