Hundreds of thousands of passwords are lost or forgotten every year, making the necessary information unavailable to legitimate owners or authorized law enforcement personnel. In order to recover such a password, a tool for password cracking is required. Using GPUs instead of CPUs for password cracking can quickly process the large amount of computation required during the recovery process. This paper optimizes on GPUs using CUDA, with a focus on decryption of the currently most popular PDF 1.4-1.6 version. Techniques such as eliminating unnecessary operations of the MD5 algorithm, implementing 32-bit word integration of the RC4 algorithm, and using shared memory were used. In addition, autotune techniques were used to search for the number of blocks and threads that affect performance improvement. As a result, we showed throughput of 31,460 kp/s (kilo passwords per second) and 66,351 kp/s at block size 65,536, thread size 96 in RTX 3060, RTX 3090 environments, and improved throughput by 22.5% and 15.2%, respectively, compared to the cracking tool hashcat that achieves the highest throughput.

Background: The anti-platelet activity of the saponin fraction of Korean Red Ginseng has been widely studied. The saponin fraction consists of the panaxadiol fraction (PDF) and panaxatriol fraction (PTF); however, their anti-platelet activity is yet to be compared. Our study aimed to investigate the potency of anti-platelet activity of PDF and PTF and to elucidate how well they retain their anti-platelet activity via different administration routes. Methods: For ex vivo studies, Sprague-Dawley rats were orally administered 250 mg/kg PDF and PTF for 7 consecutive days before blood collection via cardiac puncture. Platelet aggregation was conducted after isolation of the washed platelets. For in vitro studies, washed platelets were obtained from Sprague-Dawley rats. Collagen and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) were used to induce platelet aggregation. Collagen was used as an agonist for assaying adenosine triphosphate release, thromboxane B2, serotonin, cyclic adenosine monophosphate, and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) release. Results: When treated ex vivo, PDF not only inhibited ADP and collagen-induced platelet aggregation, but also upregulated cGMP levels and reduced platelet adhesion to fibronectin. Furthermore, it also inhibited Akt phosphorylation induced by collagen treatment. Panaxadiol fraction did not exert any antiplatelet activity in vitro, whereas PTF exhibited potent anti-platelet activity, inhibiting ADP, collagen, and thrombin-induced platelet aggregation, but significantly elevated levels of cGMP. Conclusion: Our study showed that in vitro and ex vivo PDF and PTF treatments exhibited different potency levels, indicating possible metabolic conversions of ginsenosides, which altered the content of ginsenosides capable of preventing platelet aggregation.

Indexing allows converting raw document collection into easily searchable representation. Web searching by Google or Yahoo provides subsecond response time which is made possible by efficient indexing of web-pages over the entire Web. Indexing process gets challenging when the scale gets bigger. Parallel techniques, such as MapReduce framework can assist in efficient large-scale indexing process. In this paper we propose PDFindexer, system for indexing scientific papers in PDF using MapReduce programming model. Unlike Web search engines, our target domain is scientific papers, which has pre-defined structure, such as title, abstract, sections, references. Our proposed system enables parsing scientific papers in PDF recreating their structure and performing efficient distributed indexing with MapReduce framework in a cluster of nodes. We provide the overview of the system, their components and interactions among them. We discuss some issues related with the design of the system and usage of MapReduce in parsing and indexing of large document collection.

종래에 사용되어 왔던 1차원 바코드가 정보를 포함하고 있는 데이터베이스에 접근하는 데이터 키 역할을 주로 해온 것에 비해, 2차원 바코드는 다량의 데이터를 포함할 수 있고 고밀도의 데이터 표현이 가능하여, 호스트 컴퓨터의 데이터 베이스에 온라인 연결할 필요없이 확인하고자 하는 사람이나 대상물에 대한 정보를 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 가장 널리 사용되는 2차원 바코드 체계인 PDF417 을 중심으로 디지털 카메라를 통하여 입력한 영상을 이진화하여 시작 심볼 또는 정지 심볼을 검색함으로써 2차원 바코드 영역을 추출한 다음, 추출된 영역으로부터 바코드의 행과 열의 수, 오류수정 정도 등의 헤더정보를 검출하고 이를 바탕으로 코드워드를 추출하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 얻어진 코드워드는 데이터를 효율적으로 저장하기위해 정보가 숫자인지, ASCII코드인지 혹은 바이트 정보인지에 따라 다른 방식으로 인코딩 되어 있는데, 그에 따른 디코딩 알고리즘을 제안한다.

This paper introduces an on-line particle-filtering-based framework for failure prognosis in nonlinear, non-Gaussian systems. This framework uses a nonlinear state-space model of the plant(with unknown time-varying parameters) and a particle filtering(PF) algorithm to estimate the probability density function(pdf) of the state in real-time. The state pdf estimate is then used to predict the evolution in time of the fault indicator, obtaining as a result the pdf of the remaining useful life(RUL) for the faulty subsystem. This approach provides information about the precision and accuracy of long-term predictions, RUL expectations, and 95% confidence intervals for the condition under study. Data from a seeded fault test for a UH-60 planetary carrier plate are used to validate the proposed methodology.

A simple Lagrangian pdf model is proposed with a new numerical algorithm for application in wall-bounded turbulent flows. To investigate the performance of the Lagrangian model, we minimize model's dependence on empirical constants by selecting the simplest model for turbulent dissipation rate. The effect of viscosity is also included by adding a Brownian random walk calculate the position of a particle. For the no-slip condition at the wall and correct nearwall behavior of velocity, we develop a new boundary treatment for the particles that strike the wall. By applying the model to a fully developed turbulent channel flow at low Reynolds number, we investigate the model's performance through comparison with direct numerical simulation result.

본 연구에서는 Co/Si 계에 대한 이온선 혼합실험을 온도와 이온선량을 변수로 하여 실시하였고, Co/Si 계에 대한 상형성 과정을 금속/Si 계에 대한 이온선 혼합시의 비정질상 및 결정상 형성예측 모델(ADF Model)과 초기 결정상 예측 모델(PDF Model)을 이용하여 해석하였다. 이온선 혼합은 80KeV 가속기를 이용하여 상온$-400^{\circ}C$의 온도 범위에서 1.0X1015Ar+/$\extrm{cm}^2$-2.0X1016Ar+/$\textrm{cm}^2$의 이온선량을 변화시키면서 실험하였으며 상분석은 투과전자현미경(TEM)과 X선 회절 분석을 이용하였다. Co/Si 계에서 이온선 혼합시 형성되는 초기 결정상은 Co2Si이며 이온선량의 증가에 따라 CoSi로 상전이하였다. 이러한 실험 결과는 비정질상 및 결정상 형성 예측 모델(ADF model)과 초기 결정상 예측모델(PDF model)의 예측결과와 매우 잘 일치하고 있다. 이상의 연구 결과로부터 ADF 모델과 PDF모델을 이용하여 박막에서 형성되는 상을 보다 정확히 예측할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

As life style becomes to be complicated, lots of support technologies were developed. The bar code technology is one of them. It was renovating approach to goods industry. However, data storage ability in one dimension bar code came in limit because of industry growth. Two-dimension bar code was proposed to overcome one-dimension bar code. PDF417 bar code most commonly used in standard two-dimension bar codes is well defined at data decoding and error correction area. More works could be done in bar code image acquisition process. Applying various image enhancement algorithms, the recognition rate of PDF417 bar code is improved.

In this paper, an algorithm to extract bar-space area is suggested. In a section of bar-code space area the threshold value is computed, and bar and space are extracted according to threshold value. PDF417 is used everyday life and printed in many different materials. The printed PDF417 is especially influenced by various light source. The decision of bar and space is very hard under the change of illumination. The fixed threshold value to distinguish the bar and space can not be applied. in these cases, The proposed algorithm is developed to investigate variable threshold. The variable threshold can be obtained by simple calculation.
