The performance of OCC is very sensitive to the transaction abort rate, Even if the abort probability can be reduced by re-ordering, most of re-ordering schemes have space overhead in maintaining a graph or histories, In this paper, we proposed an efficient re-ordering scheme based on a broadcast invalidation mechanism. Our scheme, called CBI, can reduce the abort probability without space overhead in maintaining a graph or histories, By simulation studies, we showed that CBI reduced the abort rate and unnecessary operations, Additionally, we showed that CBI outperforms not only BTS but also TSH with low space overhead.

The cause of flow mark defect is known as non-uniform temperature of mold surface when the flow front meets the cold cavity. The exact definition and classification of Flow mark is not clear because the mechanism of flow mark is not figured out till now. Any injection molding analysis software can not predict the flow mark phenomena. To solve weldline and flow mark defects, the gate thickness is reduced to increase the melt front velocity and the melt front velocity of the flow mark area is increased from 82.3mm/s to 104.7mm/s. In addition, the bulk temperature of the flow mark area is increased from $178.3^{\circ}C$to $215.2^{\circ}C$ by adding a cold slug well. The flow mark phenomena can be greatly reduced by increasing the flow front velocity and elevating the bulk temperature.

Mucolipidosis type II (MLII; MIM#252500) and type III alpha/beta (MLIIIA; MIM#252600) very rare lysosomal storage disease cause by reduced enzyme activity of GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase. ML II is caused by a total or near total loss of GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase activity whether enzymatic activity in patient with ML IIIA is reduced. While ML II and ML III share similar clinical features, including skeletal abnormalities, ML II is the more severe in terms of phenotype. ML III is a much milder disorder, being characterized by latter onset of clinical symptoms and slower progressive course. GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase is encoded by two genes, GNPTAB and GNPTG, mutations in GNPTAB give rise to ML II or ML IIIA. To date, more than 100 different GNPTAB mutations have been reported, causing either ML II or ML IIIA. Despite development of new diagnostic approach and understanding of disease mechanism, there is no specific treatment available for patients with ML II and ML IIIA yet, only supportive and symptomatic treatment is indicated.

Although plasma is an efficient means of microbial sterilization, mechanism of plasma effect on microorganisms still needs to be clarified. In addition, a limited number of studies are available on eukaryotic microorganisms such as yeast and fungi in relation to plasma application. Thus, we investigated cellular and molecular aspects of plasma effects on a filamentous fungus, Neurospora crassa by making use of argon plasma jet at atmospheric pressure. The viability and cell morphology of N. crassa spores exposed to plasma were both significantly reduced depending on the exposure time when treated in water. The intracellular genomic DNA content was dramatically reduced in fungal tissues after a plasma treatment and the transcription factor tah-3 was found to be required for fungal tolerance to a harsh plasma environment.

MiStrut is a new method to establish structural stability in designing braced excavations by making a rigid connection between top-level steel beams and soldier beams. MiStrut has a function of working as a strut as well as supporting cover plates of top-level steel beams. The structural mechanism of MiStrut is supposed to reduce flexural deformation of soldier beams, which may lead to reduced lateral earth pressures behind excavation. In this research, for verification of the performance of MiStrut, shear-wave velocities of subsurface soil before and after excavation was compared. The rigid connection of main girder beams with soldir beams reduced shear-wave velocity by 67% and lateral earth pressures by 90%, which indicates that MiStrut is effective development in reducing lateral earth pressures on braced excavation.

The rapid senescence of detached Chinese cabbage leaf discs in darkness is first manifested by a sharp rise in malondialdehyde content (indicated by distruption of membrane structure), then by a rise in peroxidase activity and a decrease in catalase activity, and ultimately by chlorophyll degradation. These changes in parameters besides the catalase activity during senescence were delayed by application of spermidine. Especially, 10-4M spermidine almost completely arrested chlorophyll degradation after incubaton over 5 days. Spermidine reduced the amount of ethylene produced by senescing leaf discs. Additionally, it also reduced IAA-induced ethylene production. Calcium ion (1mM, 10mM) supplied together with the spermidine diminished the spermidine action, indicating probable involvement of an initial ionic attachment mechanism. These results suggest that spermidine can be used as an anti-senescence agent for plants and that this agent may stabilize membrane structure through interaction with the negatively charged loci on the membrane and exert the influence during senescence.

In ultrasonic vibration drawing, the drawing forces can be reduced by applying ultrasonically oscillating dies. Ultrasonic vibration drawing has been considered as a means of accommodating high-level drawing processes such as shaped wire, ultrafine wire, and the wire drawing operation in semidry or dry condition. Prior studies were attempted to analyze the mechanism of improved drawing performances, such as reduced drawing force and improved lubrication characteristic. However, researches on design rule for ultrasonic vibration drawing system are not yet carried out. The principal objectives of this work are to design a set of tooling capable to superimpose the oscillations and to observe by experiments the influence of the ultrasonic oscillations on the wire drawing.

The blocking probabilities of nx64Kb/s multi-slot calls are generally much higher than that of single slot calls. In order to improve these blocking probabilities of multi-slot calls, we propose a scheme which searches the different numbers of time slots for different types of calls. We analyze the performance of our scheme in a double-buffered time-space-time switching network which accommodates multi-slot calls as well as single-slot calls. The proposed method yields the reduced blocking probabilities, the increased traffic handling capacity and teh reduced CPU processing load, compared with those of the conventional methods.

BEE 802.11 Wireless LAN protocol uses fixed transmission power. It does not consider a power control mechanism based on the distance between the transmitter and the receiver in order to improve overall channel utilization. In home environment, where stations generally lie around an AP, the AP is subject to use transmission power more than it needs. And wireless LAN stations may require different minimal desired received power. If there are many adjacent BSSs in densely populated WLAN area, they might cause RF interference to one another. In this paper we focus on the improvement of aggregate utilization by mitigating RF interference among BSSs. We show that RF interference by APs can be reduced by controlling transmission power using Link Margin information. The reduced interference will then lead to the increased aggregate throughput which is efficient resource utilization.

The CO oxidation was performed on $H_2$-reduced NiO-${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ in the temperature range 150-$250^{\circ}C$. The kinetic study and the conductivity measurements indicate the oxidation reaction follows Langmuir-Rideal type process that is uncommon in heterogeneous catalyst$^1$. No active site is found on the catalyst surface for CO adsorption, but an oxygen vacancy adsorbs an oxygen, and this step is rate initiation. The partial orders are half for $O_2$ and first for CO, respectively. Apparent activation energy for over-all reaction is 9.05 kcal/mol.
