Feistel and SPN are the two main structures in a block cipher. Feistel is a symmetric structure which has the same structure in encryption and decryption, but SPN is not a symmetric structure. In this paper, we propose a SPN block cipher so called SSB which has a symmetric structure in encryption and decryption. The proposed SSB is composed of the even numbers of N rounds. Each round consists of a round key addition layer, a subsitution layer, a byte exchange layer and a diffusion layer. The subsitution layer of the odd round is inverse function of one of the even round. And the diffusion layer is a MDS involution matrix. The differential and linear attack probability of SSB is $2^{-306}$ which is same with AES. The proposed symmetric SPN block cipher SSB is believed to construct a safe and efficient cipher in Smart Card and RFID environments which is in limited hardware and software resources.

In this paper, a novel architecture of programmable divider with fifty percent duty cycle output and programmable dividing number has been proposed. Through HSPICE simulation, a 900MHz frequency synthesizer with proposed frequency divider has designed in a standard 0.25$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS technology. To verify the operation of proposed frequency divider, a chip had been fabricated using 0.65$\mu\textrm{m}$ 2-poly, 3-metal standard CMOS processing and experimental result shows that the proposed frequency divider works well. The designed voltage controlled oscillator(VCO) has a center frequency of 900MHz, a tuning range of ${\pm}$10%, and a gain of 154MHz/V. The simulated frequency synthesizer performance has a settling time of 1.5${\mu}\textrm{s}$, a frequency range from 820MHz to 1GHz and power consumption of 70mW at 2.5V power supply voltage.

A modified Chebyshev lowpass filter function with progressively diminishing ripples in the passband is proposed and analyzed in the frequency domain. Owing to the diminishing ripples, the passband magnitude characteristic of the proposed Chebyshev function has improved compared to the classical Chebyshev function. In addition, the phase characteristics of the proposed Chebyshev function were improved considerably compared to that of the Chebyshev function, and the time delay of the proposed function was much simpler and flatter. In addition, the proposed Chebyshev filter was realizable by the passive doubly terminated ladder network delivering maximum power transfer for the order n, even or odd, thus making themselves amenable to low-sensitivity active RC or switched capacitor filters through the simulation techniques. To verify the proposed Chebyshev filter characteristics, a 6th order passive doubly terminated ladder lowpass filter was designed and analyzed using the MATLAB and SPICE program. Thus, the proposed Chebyshev function can remove the drawbacks of the classical Chebyshev function and could be applicable to the design of a filter with an improved filter size, phase, and time delay characteristics for various signal processing.

The twisted cube has received great attention as an interconnection network of parallel systems because it has several superior properties, especially in diameter, to the hypercube. It was recently known that, for even m, a mesh of size $2{\times}2^m$ can be embedded into a twisted cube with dilation 1 and expansion 1 and a mesh of size $4{\times}2^m$ with dilation 1 and expansion 2 [Lai and Tsai, 2008]. However, as we know, it has been a conjecture that a mesh with more than eight rows and columns can be embedded into a twisted cube with dilation 1. In this paper, we show that a mesh of size $2^n{\times}2^m$ can be embedded into a twisted cube with dilation 1 and expansion $2^{n-1}$ for even m and with dilation 1 and expansion $2^n$ for odd m where $1{\leq}n{\leq}m$.

This paper finds the regular pattern of n = [3, ∞] for Euler square game related with n = 6(6×6=36) thirty-six officer problem that is still unsolved problem. The solution of this problem is exists for n = [3, 10] without n = 6. Also, previous researchers finds the random assigned solution for specific number using computer programming. Therefore, the solution of n = [11, ∞] Euler squares are unsolved problem because of anything but easy. This paper attempts to find generalized patterns for domains that have been extended to n = [3, ∞], while existing studies have been limited to n = [3, 10]. This paper classify the n = [3, ∞] into n = odd, 4k even, 4k+2 even of three classes. Then we find the simple regular pattern solution for n = odd and 4k even(n/2 = even). But we can't find the regular pattern for 4k+2 even(n/2 = odd).

The mechanical properties (tensile strength, 100% modulus and hardness) of the urethane elastomers prepared from hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB), several low molecular weight diols (ethylene glycol, 1, 3-propane diol, 1,4-butane diol, 1,5-pentane diol and 1,6-hexane diol) and two kinds of diisocyanates(TDI: toluene diisocyanate, IPDI: isophorone diisomechanical properties were enhanced for the increases of the concentrations of the urethane group, as predicted. In case of TDI, when the mechanical properties of the elastomers were plotted patterns were observed, which can be explained by hydrogen bondings depending on the number of the methylene carbons. But the mechanical properties of the elastomers derived from IPDI had decreasing curves against the number of methylene carbons in low molecular weight diols, without the characteristic zigzag patterns.

There was a close relationship between spatio-temporal distribution of Cochlodinium polykrikoides red tide and meso-scale variation of oceanographic environment around the Korean waters. Oceanographic conditions of Narodo island, where red tide usually first occurred during summer seasons were formation of the thermohaline frontal zone from 1995 to 2001. Huge C. polykrikoides red tides were observed in every uneven year during the past 7 years (1995~2001) and quasi-biennial oscillation also occurred in the oceanographic variations of sea surface temperature and salinity in the northern part of the East China Sea during the same years. The distribution area and moving pattern of C. polykrikoides red tides were definitely depended on the temporal and spatial variation of upwelling cold water originated form the southeastern coast of the Korean peninsula in summer season.

In order to establish the integrated management of white grubs in ginseng field damages of ginseng plants (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) by the larvae of the larger black chamfer (Holotrichia morose Waterhouse) and the Korean black chamfer (Holotrichia diomphalia Bates) were investigated. Most of ginseng damages due to H, morose usually occurred in September through October, mainly on 2nd year plants. However, the damage by H. diomphalia occurred in September through October (usually in odd number of years) on 2nd year plants and in the following May and June on 3rd year plants. Therefore, in the fall of every odd number of years, synchronized occurrence of the two species caused severe damage on ginseng plants. Both of the 3rd instar larvae of the forementioned two species damaged ginseng roots regardless of the age of the plants when ginseng plants were artificially infested with them. Ginseng fields located at the slopes with good drainage are most likely damaged by them.

In this paper, we present a variable dimension vector quantization for spectral magnitudes. Espectially, spectral magnitudes of the Harmonic coder, need variable dimension quantizer because those are not fixed dimension. So, this paper present efficient quantization methods. These methods use variable Discrete Cosine Transform(DCT) for spectral magnitude parameters and NSTVQ which is combined odd/even, split and multi-stage structure, proposed quantization methods use Spectral Distortion(SD) for performance measure. Consequently, Multi-Stage Nonsquare Transform Vector Quantization(MSNSTVQ) is the best in performance measure.
