An atomic commitment protocol ensures that distributed transcations terminate consistently at participating sites. An atomic commitment protocol is said to be non-blocking if it permits transaction termination to proceed at correct participants despite of failure in the coordinator site and communication. It is well known that the famous two phase commit(2PC) is a blocking protocol, whereas the three phase commit(3PC) protocol is a non-blocking. In this paper, we propose a non-blocking two phase commit(NB-2PC) protocol reducing the blocking problem than propose non-blocking protocols. The NB-2PC protocol can be obtained through modifications of the 2PC protocol. After receiving Prepare message from coordinator in the NB-2PC protocol, participants respond to the coordinator and several participants in voting phase. While participants wait for decision message from the coordinator, the blocking occurs due to the failure of the coordinator site, participants elect new coordinator among several participants receive response message. Despite of the coordinator site failures, participants consult new coordinator and follow termination protocols and achieve non-blocking property. We propose a basic structure of NB-2PC protocol and termination protocol and new coordinator election protocol. The NB-2PC protocol has non-blocking property and reduces processing time of commit protocol than the 3PC protocol. Also, through simulation experiments, we propose the NB-2PC protocol exhibits better performance of processing time of commit protocol than 3PC protocol.

Indole 3-carbinol (I3C), important component of cruciferous vegetables and its major acid-catalyzed metabolite, 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM) have been suggested to have an inhibitory effect on the tumor growth and metastasis. This study investigated the effect of DIM on the adhesion, migration and invasion of highly invasive PC3 and DU145 human prostate cancer cell lines. Cells were grown in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with 3.0 g/L glucose, 3.7 g/L sodium bicarbonate and 10% fetal bovine and were incubated in a humidified incubator at $37^{\circ}C$ and 5% $CO_2$. DIM reduced the adhesion of PC3 and DU145 cells in a dose dependent manner. The pretreatment of PC3 cells with DIM reduced the adhesion dose dependantly, but inhibition was less effective than the treatment with DIM during the adhesion assay. The migration and invasion of PC3 and DU145 cells were reduced by DIM dose dependantly, and the inhibition of DIM was less effective in the DU145 cells than in the PC3 cells. The pretreatment of PC3 cells with DIM for 24 hr before the assay reduced invasion of PC3 cells by 37%. These results suggest that DIM inhibits adhesion, migration and invasion of the PC3 and DU145 cells and may be an effective antimetastatic therapy in addition to traditional chemotherapy.

Molecular structures of the various conformers for the 1,3-dimethoxy-p-tert-butylthiacalix[4] crown-5-ether (3) were optimized by using DFT B3LYP/6 - 31 + G(d,p) and mPW1PW91/6 - 31 + G(d,p) (hybrid HF-DF) calculation methods. We have analyzed the energy differences and structures of eight in/out orientations (cone_oo, cone_oi, pc_oo, pc_io, pc_oi, pc_ii, 13a_oo, 13a_io) of two methoxy groups in three major conformations (cone, partial-cone and 1,3-alternate). The 13a_oo (out-out orientation of the 1,3-alternate conformer) is calculated to be the most stable among eight different conformations of 3, and in accord with the experimental result. The ordering of relative stability resulted from the mPW1PW91/6 - 31 + G(d,p) calculation method is following: 13a_oo > 13a_io$\sim$pc_io$\sim$cone_oo > cone_oi$\sim$pc_oo$\sim$pc_oi > pc_ii.

Solvent extraction experiments have been performed to separate Nd and Sm from chloride solution with PC88A. The effect of the saponification of PC88A on the extraction and separation of the two metals were studied. In the experimental ranges conducted in this study, the distribution coefficients of Sm were higher than those of Nd and separation factor between them increased with the equilibrium pH of aqueous solution. Saponification of PC88A enhanced the distribution coefficients of Sm and Nd and the separation factor. A chemical model was developed to predict the distribution coefficients of metals and separation factor from the initial extraction conditions. The measured distribution coefficients of Nd and Sm with PC88A and saponified PC88A agreed well with those calculated in this study.

Each of the two polycarbonates (PC) of different molecular weights was blended with acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) under high-shear rate processing to afford PC/ABS. Sizes of ABS dispersed phases and mechanical properties of PC/ABS blends were investigated and high-shear rate processing of PC/ABS was carried out by changing screw speed and processing time. Prepared specimens were examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) to observe morphology changes. Sizes of ABS dispersed phases in PC/ABS blends were observed to decrease gradually as screw speeds increased. Tensile strengths and elongations of specimens were investigated by universal testing method (UTM) to study the influence of molecular weight of PC exerting on PC/ABS blends. As a result, PC1/ABS blends (PC1: higher molecular weight PC) exhibited more strengthened properties than PC2/ABS (PC2: lower molecular weight PC). The tensile strength of PC1/ABS showed an increasing tendency when the screw speed increased, and the elongation did not show a significant decrease, but increased slightly with increasing shear time at a constant screw speed of 1000 rpm.

Emission properties of the organic light-emitting diodes were investigated with the use of a hole-injection layer of copper(II)-phthalocyanine (CuPc). The manufactured device structure is indium-tin-oxide (ITO) (180 nm)/CuPc (0~50 nm)/N,N'-Bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N'-diphenylbenzidine (TPD) (40 nm)/tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (III) ($Alq_3$) (60 nm)/Al(100 nm). We investigated the luminescence properties of $Alq_3$ which is affected by the CuPc hole-injection layer. Also, we studied the influence of light-emission properties in the structure of an ITO/CuPc/TPD/$Alq_3$/Al device depending on the several thicknesses of CuPc (0~50 nm) layer. As a result, it was found that the hole injection occurs smoothly in the device with 20 nm thick CuPc layer, and the properties become significantly worse in the device with a CuPc layer thickness higher than 40 nm. We studied the topography and external quantum efficiency depending on the layer thickness of CuPc. Also, we analyzed the electroluminescent characteristics in the low and high-voltage range.

To utilize the mackerel viscera effectively, antioxidant substances were extracted and the effects on the oxidation were evaluated. Total lipid(TL) extracted from mackerel viscera were fractionated into hexane extracts, tetracarbon chloride($CCl_4$)-methanol(1 : 1, 1 : 3, 1 : 9, v/v) extracts, phospholipid(PL), phosphatidylcholine(PC), and PC free fracitons(PCF). Inhibition of fish oil oxidation was investigated using these fractions. Hexane fraction showed lower antioxidant activity compared to the TL or $CCl_4-methanol$ fractions(C-M) ; in addition, antioxidant activities increased as polarity of C-M increased. Significant antioxidant activities were observed with PL, PC, and PCF ; among them, PC was the most effective. To determine the antioxidant activity of PC, effects of natural or synthetic antioxidant were compared. Addition of PC to fish oil proved to enhance antioxidant activity the antioxidant activity of phospholipids was derived mainly from PC.

We report the characteristics of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDS) by controlling the carrier mobility according to the crystalline of Iron(II) Phthalocyanine(Fe-Pc) and metal-free Phthalocyanine (H$_2$-Pc). In order to change the recombination zone, we controlled the hole mobility by changing the crystal structures of Fe-Pc and H$_2$-Pc. OLEDs were constructed with ITO/Fe-Pc/triphenyl-diamine (TPD)/tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq$_3$)/Al and ITO/H$_2$-Pc/triphenyl-diamine (TPD)/tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq$_3$)/Al. The electroluminescent properties were changed according to the heat-treatments of Fe-Pc and H$_2$-Pc. We observed that the recombination zone and the carrier mobility were changed as the higher occupied molecular orbital levels of Fe-Pc and H$_2$-Pc decreased.

Strength of PC walls with diagonal reinforcements can be obtained by using the section analysis. Deformation of the diagonal reinforcements is related to that of flexural reinforcement and makes the another tensile strength on the PC wall. Another tensile strength due to diagonal reinforcements is assumed to be 1/3 point of the distance between the flexural reinforcements.
