This paper addresses the problems of using anti-freeze lubricants for different machines that must function at extremely low temperatures during winter operation in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). We discuss the possibility of obtaining anti-freeze base oils from Talakan crude oil, an area with major oil and gas deposits of the Republic of Sakha, and also provide the trade and technological classification of Talakan crude oil. We propose two different schemes for processing Talakan crude oil: the fuel scheme (obtaining light and heavy fractions as a fuel oil) and the base oil scheme (obtaining light fractions and base oils). We investigate the influence of pour point depressants on alkyl-methacrylate base on the low-temperature properties of the fractions obtained from Talakan crude oil and Korean base oils, and establish the optimal concentration of pour point depressants. We compare the properties of these fractions with the low-temperature properties of Korean base oils and find that the commercial oil "Ravenol 0W-40" provides optimistic results. We obtain oil with a pour point of minus $50^{\circ}C$ and a viscosity index greater than 100. The Design of Experiment was used to establish the optimum composition of the pour point depressants and the base oil S-8 to obtain lubricant oil with a kinematic viscosity of 17 cSt, viscosity index of 208, and a pour point of minus $64^{\circ}C$.

This paper proposes new cost error measurement method and analyzes the optimistic and pessimistic cost errors statistically which is resulted from an asynchronous parallel Simulated annealing (SA) in distributed memory multicomputers. The traditional cost error measurement scheme has inherent problems which are corrected in the new method. At each temperature the new method predicts the amount of cost error that an algorithm will tolerate and still converge by the hill-climbing nature of SA. This method also explains three interesting phenomenon of he cost error analytically. So the new cost error measurement method provides a single mechanism for the occurrence of cost error and its control.

대규모 분산 협동 환경에서 다수의 참여자에게 상호 작용 성능을 지원해 주기 위한 확장성 있는 예측 기반 동시성 제어 방법을 제안한다. 예측 기반 동시성 제어는 낙관적 (optimistic) 방법과 같이 참여자들에게 실시간 상호 작용 성능을 제공하고, 비관적 pessimistic) 방법과 같이 잠금(lock)이 부인될 경우가 복구가 필요없다. 본 논문에서는 소유자 예측을 위하여 객체 기반 다중 전송 그룹을 개발했다. 관심있는 객체 주변에 있는 사용자들만 그 객체 다중전송 그룹에 할당된 주소에 참여함으로써 소유권 예측을 위한 소유권 요청을 할 수 있다. 이 방식에서는 소유자는 가상 영역내의 모든 사용자 대신 이 다중 전송 그룹에 참여하고 있는 사용자로부터만 메시지를 받으므로 소유자가 받는 메시지 수는 현저히 감소되어 소유자는 요청 처리 시간이 줄어들고 따라서 보다 더 정확한 예측을 할 수 있다. 분석을 통하여 제안된 동시성 제어 방식이 대규모 가상 환경에서 갖는 효율성과 확장성을 증명한다.

In SMA(shape memory alloy), the degradation by fatigue is one of the most important problems to be overcome, when SMA is used for robot-actuator material. The actuator is operated repeatitively for long time and its repeating operation develops the fatigue degradation of SMA. The fatigue degradation changes the transformation temperature and deformation behavior and results in inaccurate operation control of robot. Accordingly, the changing behavior of transformation temperature and deformation which results from repeating operation is to be investigated in advance and the scheme to resolve those problems have to be made for the design of actuator. In this study, the fatigue tests were carried out on SMA specimens prepared to have different condition of aging time and pre-strain with the direct-current heating-cooling method, which was a general method of operation in robot actuators. The behavior of transformation temperature and deformation were examined and analyzed in each specimen and the study was performed to establish the optimistic manufacturing condition of SMA against the fatigue degradation.

As real-time database systems are extended to the distributed computing environment, the need to apply the existing real-time concurrency control schemes to the distributed computing environment has been made. In this paper we propose an efficient concurrency control scheme for distributed real-time database system. Our proposed scheme guarantees a transaction to commit at its maximum, reduces the restart of a transaction that is on the prepared commit phase, and minimizes the time of the lock holding. This is because it raises the priority of the transaction that is on the prepared commit phase in the distributed real-time computing environment. In addition, it reduces the waiting time of a transaction that owns borrowed data and improves the performance of the system, as a result of lending the data that the transaction with the raised priority holds. We compare the proposed scheme with DO2PL_PA(Distributed Optimistic Two-Phase Locking) and MIRROR(Managing Isolation in Replicated Real-time Object Repositories) protocol in terms of the arrival rate of transactions, the size of transactions, the write probability of transactions, and the replication degree of data in a firm-deadline real-time database system based on two-phase commit protocol. It is shown through the performance evaluation that our scheme outperforms the existing schemes.

Client-server DBMS based on a data-shipping model can exploit e1ient resources effectively by allowing inter-transaction caching. However, inter-transaction caching raises the need of transactional cache consistency maintenancetTCCM protocol. since each client is able to cache a portion of the database dynamically. Deferred locking(DL) is a new detection-based TCCM scheme designed on the basis of a primary copy locking algorithm. In DL, a number of lock ,ujuests and a data shipping request are combined into a single message packet to minimize the communication overhead required for consistency checking. Lsing a simulation model. the performance of the prolxlsed scheme is compared with those of two representative detection based schemes, the adaptive optimistic concurrency control and the caching two-phase locking. The performance results indicate that DL improves the overall system throughput with a reasonable transaction abort ratio over other detection - based schemes.

Transactions of updating spatial dta with mobile clients are log transactions because a user disconnected from a server surveys real features and updates them. In this environment, it is appropriate to exploit the optimistic approach based on the validation test in order to control the concurrency of transactions. On the contrary, the pessimistic concurrency control scheme makes transactions wait for a long time due to the lock. In this paper, we propose the surrogate transaction model and implement its manager for the S-S-M(Server-Surrogate PC-Mobile Client) structure which is appropriate for updating spatial data in mobile environments. In the S-S-M structure, the mobile client communicates with the server by the surrogate PC. We extend the validation condition in consideration of spatial relationships between spatial objects in this model. We also present the commit protocol where the user of a surrogate PC adjusts objects of the conflicted surrogate transaction to minimize costs for the abortion of the transaction.
