This review focuses on the clinical use of $^{18}F-FDG$ PET to evaluate solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). When SPN or mass without calcification is found on chest X-ray or CT, $^{18}F-FDG$ PET is an effective modality to differentiate benign from malignant lesions. For initial staging of NSCLC, $^{18}F-FDG$ PET is useful, and proved to be cost-effective in several countries. $^{18}F-FDG$ is useful for detecting recurrence, restaging and evaluating residual tumor after curative therapy in NSCLC. For therapy response assessment, $^{18}F-FDG$ PET may be effective after chemotherapy or radiation therapy. $^{18}F-FDG$ PET is useful to predict pathological response after neoadjuvant therapy in NSCLC. For radiation therapy planning, $^{18}F-FDG$ PET may be helpful, but requires further investigations. PET/CT is better for evaluating NSCLC than conventional PET.

Task scheduling is an integrated component of computing with the emergence of grid computing. In this paper, we address two different task scheduling models, which are static Round-Robin (RR) and dynamic Fastest Site First (FSF) task scheduling method, using extended timed marked graphs, which is a special case of Stochastic Petri Nets (SPN). Stochastic reward nets (SRN) is an extension of SPN and provides compact modeling facilities for system analysis. We build hierarchical SRN models to compare two task scheduling methods. The upper level model simulates task scheduling and the lower level model implements task serving process for different sites with multiple servers. We compare these two models and analyze their performances by giving reward measures in SRN.

256-bit block cipher XSB(eXtended Spn Block cipher) was proposed in 2012 and has a symmetric strucrure in encryption and decryption process. In this paper, we propose a differential fault analysis on XSB. Based on a random byte fault model, our attack can recover the secret key of XSB by using only two random byte fault injection. This result is the first known cryptanalytic result on the target algorithm.

Plasma Display Panel(PDP) has been recognized as one of the most competitive display panel. Hence, the importance of PDP driving circuit is getting higher and higher. At the same time, it is strongly required for the driving circuit to be high efficiency, high stability, and cost effective one. In this work, a stable PDP driving circuit is developed by improving the circuit configuration. And the reliability and the productivity of the driving circuit are improved by using the Intelligent Power Module(IPM) technology. Finally operating characteristics of the developed IPM driving circuit are verified by using signal source board developed.

Thoracoscopic needle aspiration is a good alternative for a centrally-located solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) suspected of being lung cancer without severe pleural adhesion. The authors report the technique of thoracoscopic needle aspiration biopsy in a SPN just in the medial aspect of the truncus anterior pulmonary artery and the right upper lobe bronchus.

Shells and operculums of eight species of Bithyniidae, Bithynia leachi, B. tentaculata, B. siamensis, B. misella, B. kiusiuensis, Gabbia australis, B. manchourica and a Bithynia sp. collected from Nepal, were observed, There is no morphological difference between korean populations of B. misella and a Japanese popualtion of B. kiusiuensis. And the shells of these species were simialr to the other Bithynia species rather than Australian Gabbia. The coordinate of the starting point of nuclear spire of operculum(SPN)was species specific and this value had very limited range within a species. The result suggested that Korean and Japanese populations of B. misella and B. kiusiuensis are synonym and the coordinate of SPN will be a useful character in sytematics of operculated snails.

FTY720, a novel immunosuppressant, elevated the level of endogenous sphingoid bases in a dose-dependent manner within 3 hr in $LLC-PK_1$ cells. The relative molar ratio of sphingoid bases expressed as sphingosine/sphinganine (SPN/SPA), a biomarker of altered sphingolipid biosynthesis, in $10{\;}{\mu}M$ of FTY720 showed tow-fold increase as compared with the one in control culture. FTY720 under the serum-free medium condition increased only cytosolic free sphingosine concentration, not sphinganine concentration in a time-dependent manner over the 8 hr incubation under the same condition as in serum free cultures, the SPN/SPA ratio began to fluctuate and the number of floating cells as an indicator of cytotoxicity was increased 8 hr after the addition of FTY720 to cultured cells. These results suggest that the process of FTY720-induced cell death in $LLC-PK_1$ cells.

In this paper, DPA bus is proposed for implementation of MC 68000 based tightly-coupled multiprocessor system. The DPMC and arbiter are designed that the local memory of each PE can accept memory request both from a local processor and from the system bus. The performance of the proposed system bus is evaluated by Stochastic Petri Net(SPN) system modeling. The processing power, the efficiency, and the utilization of system bus are simulated for various load factors.

선진국들은 공모 사업을 통해 많은 블록 암호가 개발되었으나 국내에서 개발된 블록 암호들은 크게 주목 받지 못했다. 블록 암호 개발은 기본의 암호와 차별성, 안전성 그리고 여러 플랫폼에서의 효율성이 중시되는데 이러한 조건을 다 만족하는 것은 쉽지 않기 때문이다. 본 논문은 128bit 블록 단위에서 128, 196, 256bit 키를 사용하는 새로운 블록 암호 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 블록 암호 알고리즘은 SPN(Substitution-Permutation Network)구조, Feistel Network구조 등인데 본 논문에서 제안한 블록 암호 알고리즘은 변형된 Feistel Network구조로 입력 값 전체에서 선택된 32bit 만 update된다. 이러한 구조적 특성은 기존은 블록 암호 알고리즘들과 큰 차별이 되고 있다. PKC블록 암호 알고리즘은 국제 표준 블록 암호 알고리즘인 AES와 국내 표준 블록 암호 알고리즘인 SEED와 수행 속도 면에서 동등하거나 많이 개선된 것을 보이고 있다. 이러한 특성을 이용하면 제한된 환경에서 수행해야 하는 스마트카드 와 같은 분야에 많이 활용 될 수 있을 것이다.
