Recently, there are increasing damages by ransomware in the world. Ransomware is a malicious software that infects computer systems and restricts user's access to them by locking the system or encrypting user's files saved in the hard drive. Victims are forced to pay the 'ransom' to recover from the damage and regain access to their personal files. Strong countermeasure is needed due to the extremely vicious way of attack with enormous damage. Malware analysis method can be divided into two approaches: static analysis and dynamic analysis. Recent malwares are usually equipped with elaborate packing techniques which are main obstacles for static analysis of malware. Therefore, this paper suggests a dynamic analysis method to monitor activities of ransomware. The proposed method can analyze ransomwares more accurately. The suggested method is comprised of extracting signatures of benign program, malware, and ransomware, and selecting the most appropriate signatures for ransomware detection.

In this dissertation, the characteristics of W-CDMA(Wideband CDMA) are studied and required specifications of IMT-2000 transceiver using W-CDMA method are proposed. Also, in order to design the RF circuits satisfied the proposed specifications, theoretical models are expanded and real circuits are made. Then the RF circuits of the mobile stations are implemented in the three parts, transmitter, receiver and frequency synthesizer and are evaluated. The frequency synthesizer is designed using techniques of swallow counter and passive 3rd loop filter. For improving characteristics of the loop, a LPF was added to the 2nd loop filter. So although the locking times are loosed, the spurious are reduced. The output power of transmitter is over 50mW, the spurious output is -40dB/30kHz at 5MHz offset and power control range is -20dB at 2.5V. The proposed specifications are considered in highly practical environment and the theoretical designs and the experiments are expressed as simply as possible in order to facilitate understanding. It stands to reason that the results of this study can be used to design the wider CDMA(25MHz Bandwidth) mobile communication systems.

Database sharing system (DSS) refers to a system for high performance transaction processing. In DSS, the processing nodes are locally coupled via a high speed network and share a common database at the disk level. Each node has a local memory, a separate copy of operating system, and a DB'\fS. To reduce the number of disk accesses, the node caches database pages in its local memory buffer. However, since multiple nodes may be simultaneously cached a page, cache consistency must be cnsured so that every node can always access the'latest version of pages. In this paper, we propose efficient cache consistency schemes in DSS, where the database is logically partitioned using primary copy authority to reduce locking overhead, The proposed schemes can improve performance by reducing the disk access overhead and the message overhead due to maintaining cache consistency, Furthermore, they can show good performance when database workloads are varied dynamically.

Main Memory storage system can increase the performance of the system by assigning enough slack time to real-time transactions. Due to its high response time of main memory devices, main memory resident data management systems have been used for location management of personal mobile clients to cope with urgent location related operations. In this paper we have developed a multi-threaded main memory storage system as a core component of real-time retrieval system to handle a huge amount of readers and writers of main memory resident data. The storage system is implemented as an embedded component which is working with the help of a disk resident database system. It uses multi-threaded executions and utilizes latches for its concurrency control rather than complex locking method. It only saves most recent data on main memory and data synchronization is done only when disk resident database asks for update transactions. The system controls the number of read threads and update threads to guarantee the minimum requirements of real-time retrievals.

In this paper, the design and fabrication of a frequency-locked-loop(FLL) 5-GHz oscillator with a single resonator is presented. The proposed oscillator is the simplified version of the previous FLL oscillator with two separate resonators in the VCO and frequency detector. The resonator is commonly used in the VCO and frequency detector of the proposed oscillator configuration. The 5-GHz oscillator is implemented on the hetero-multilayer substrate composed of a Rogers' RO4350B laminate, which has excellent high-frequency performance, and the commercial FR4 three-layer substrate. The frequency locking occurs at approximately 5 GHz and has an output power of 3.8 dBm. The phase noise has a free-run VCO phase noise at frequencies above 1 kHz, and an FLL background noise at frequencies below 1 kHz. For this loop-filter, the phase noise showed an improvement of approximately 12 dB at the offset-frequency of 100 Hz.

Statement of problem: The most commonly reported problem associated with dental implant restoration is the loosening of the screws. Purpose: This study compared the efficacy of an implant system incorporating an anti-rotational locking sleeve(Anti-Rotating Inner Post Screw System(ARIPS-system)) with other, traditional implant systems as a means of minimizing vibration loosening. Materials and methods: Three implant systems were examined; the conventional external hex type, the ARIPS-system, and the internal taper type implant system 30 specimens(10 samples per group)were fabricated and each abutment screw was secured to the implant future with 32Ncm of torque force and loosening torque was measured using a Torque Gauge. The procedure was repeated 3 times, recording initial loosening torque each time. The re-tightened abutment screw was subjected to a cyclic load having a maximum forte of 200N and minimum of 20N at 2Hz over a period of 12,600 cycles. after which the loosening torque was measured. Measured values were calaulated for statistical analysis. Analysis of measured value was performed by 3 methods: (i) as a percentage average of the initial 3 loosening-torque values(initial loosening value) to the tightening torque of 32Ncm, (ii) as a percentage of the loosening torque value after a load of 200N(experimental value) to the initial loosening value, and (iii) as a percentage of the experimental value to the 32Ncm of tightening torque. The analyses shows the amount of initial loosening at the screw, loosening by repetitive load and the the final loosening value. Results: The results of this study were as follows (1) Percentage of initial loosening value to tightening-torque was increased in order of external hex, ARIPS-system and internal taper and all values between each groups showed statistical significance (p<0.05). (2) Percentage of experimental value to initial loosening value was increased in order of external hex, ARIPS-system and internal taper. Value of internal taper showed significant difference with those of external hex and ARIPS-system (p<0.05). (3) Percentage of experimental value to tightening torque was increased in order of external hex, ARIPS-system and internal taper and all values between each groups showed statistical significance (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of the analysis of the final loosening level value, which are closely correlated to clinical use, show that the ARIPS-system can be a useful means of minimizing abutment screw loosening when compared to the external hex type system. Although further clinical studies need to be made, the ARIPS-system should be considered to maximize the long-term success of the implant prosthesis.

This paper presents means of reducing noise in NSD using path control methods for Light Tactical Vehicles (LTV). NSD is applied to the rear axle of LTVs for enhancing mobility. NSD can improve mobility of vehicles with a high locking ratio but causes noise under certain conditions due to its mechanical structure. This noise results from contact between gears due to the differential role of NSD. The noise affects users, so users have continually requested noise reductions. Though the noise doesn't affect product performance and durability, and satisfies the National Defense's noise condition standards, users request for noise reduction is the focus of this research. Eliminating the source of sound for LTVs is realistically limited, so this research applies a path control method to reduce noise by controlling the path which transmits the noise. This study improves the structural delivery system and examines methods of reducing noise in LTV systems.

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.
