The main purpose of this paper is to propose a general dialogue flow in 'the a appointment scheduling dialogues' in German using the concept of dialogue acts. A basic a assumption of this research is that dialogue acts contribute to the improvement of a translation system. They might be very useful to solve the problems that syntactic and semantic module could not resolve using contextual knowledge. The classification of the dialogue acts was conducted as a work of VERBMOBIL project and was based on real dialogues transcribed by experts. The real dialogues were analyzed in terms of the dialogue acts. We empirically analyzed the sequences of the dialogue acts not only in a series of dialogue turns but also in one dialogue turn. We attempted to analyZe the sequences in one dialogue turn additionally because the dialogue data used in this research showed some difference from the ones in other existing researches. By examining the sequences in dialogue acts. we proposed the dialogue flowchart in 'the a appointment scheduling dialogues' 'Based on the statistical analysis of the sequences of the most frequent dialogue acts. the dialogue flowcharts seem to represent' the a appointment scheduling dialogues' in general. A further research is required on c classification of dialogue acts which was a base for the analysis of dialogues. In order to e extract the most generalized model. we did not subcategorize each dialogue acts and used a limited number of items of dialogue acts. However. generally defined dialogue acts need to be defined more concretely and new dialogue acts for specific situations should be a added.

Background: As living and dead Mycobacteria could be amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR), it was considered that PCR was inappropriate for the monitoring of pulmonary tuberculosis after treatment. But we found negative conversion of PCR after successful treatment. We would like to know about the negative conversion rate of PCR and its conversion time after antituberculous treatment. Methods: We collected 113 sputums from the 16 patients of pulmonary tuberculsosis visiting Catholic University Hospital of Taegu Hyosung. We consecutively tested AFB smear, AFB culture and PCR by 2 to 4 weeks after antituberculous therapy. The patients were classified according to the chest X ray findings. Results: We detected negative conversion of PCR from all 16 patients of the pulmonary tuberculosis within 30 weeks after treatment. The average negative conversion time was $16{\pm}8$ weeks. The conversion time according to the chest X -ray findings were as follows : For the 8 cases of minimum were $9{\pm}5$ weeks, 4 cases of modreate advanced were $20{\pm}8$ weeks, and 4 cases of far advanced were $23{\pm}2$ weeks. The product of PCR was gradually decreased according to the duration of treatment. Conclusions: From the results of our study, we could utilize M. tubercuosis PCR for the prediction of therapy response and monitoring of the patient with pulmonary tuberculosis after treatment.

This article investigates the effects of prior firm founding experience, prior firm's performance, same industry matters, entrepreneurship communities or educations on subsequent firm performance. This study also explores whether same industry matters and entrepreneurship communities or educations have interaction effects between entrepreneurial experience and subsequent firm performance. The results show that prior firm founding experience and prior firm's performance have a positive effect on subsequent firm performance. The rest of variables have no significant direct effects on firm performance. However, same industry matters and entrepreneurship communities or educations have interaction effects of entrepreneurial experience on firm performance. Based on results of this empirical study, this study draws some implications that entrepreneurs can become serial entrepreneurs and experience entrepreneurial success.

Reduction in the leakage of the amplified PCR product out of cell is required for effective in situ PCR. For this purpose, primers with complementary tail sequences at their 5' sides were utilized to synthesize high molecular weight PCR products, but it is time-consuming and causes deterioration of cellular appearance with many PCR cycles. Therefore, it is required to optimize the PCR condition with minimal PCR cycles. To achieve the pur-pose, primer polymers were made without the target DNA in tube from nonspecific amplification with tailed primers and treated onto the fixed Molt/LAV cells on the glass slide for the 20 cycle-in situ PCR, in which the appropriate target signals were observed for the possible use of primer polymers in in situ PCR.

This paper investigates the durational difference between syllable final segment and syllable initial one within word level. The Korean consonant (m) and (nn) were focused mainly. It could hardly say that there was significant difference between preceding consonant and following one, but it was observed that the preceding consonant tended to be shorter than the following one in the (mm) case. This might be explained by the fact that bilabial sound should appear at the first step of language acquisition. This leads to the conclusion that the articulation of preceding (m) shall be easier than others. In the case of alveolar geminate (nn), there was considerable statistic difference between preceding and following segments. It tends to be that the preceding consonant has longer duration.

This study is unlike common Input-Output Analysis in the point that both RAS and methods are applied to the dynamic Input-Output Model simultaneously. We have analyzed the propagation effects on the regional economy from the investment generated by u-City construction in Wha-sung and Dong-tan City. The main results of the study are as follows. The total induced effect on production according to u-City construction in Wha-sung and Dong-tan City is estimated about 2.9 times. On the other hand, u-City industry is appreciated as a industry which a forward linkage effect is very high while a backward linkage effect is not that high.

물 공급 지장의 경제적 파급 효과를 분석하기 위해 한국은행이 2007년 발간한 2003년 지역산업연관모형을 이용하였다. 특히 가뭄의 발생은 지역적인 특성을 가지고 있어서 지역에 따라 피해도 다르게 나타날 것이다. 우선적으로 배분해야할 각 산업의 순위도 지역별로 달라지게 될 것이다. 따라서 전국산업연관표를 이용하여 물 공급의 지장비용을 분석하였을 때보다 구체적으로 효율적인 물 배분에 대한 정보를 제공할 수 것이다. 특히 기존에는 지역별 물 공급 지장 비용을 계측하기 위하여 주로 전국산업연관표 이용하여 각 지역별 산업연관표를 간접 추계하여 사용하였다. 이 방식은 방법론에 따른 오차 존재 가능성이 크기 때문에 신뢰도가 결여된다. 그러나 본 연구는 한국은행의 2003년 실측(survey-based method) 지역산업연관표를 이용하였기 때문에 기존 연구보다 신뢰성있는 연구가 될 것이다. 추정결과, 우리나라 수도산업의 특징은 지역내 파급 효과가 지역간 파급 효과보다 큰 자급자족형 산업인 것으로 나타났다. 전후방연쇄효과도 거의 모든 지역에서 1이상으로 나타났고 후방연쇄효과가 가장 큰 지역은 경남지역으로 나타났다. 서울권과 경남권에서 만 원어치만큼 물 공급되지 않을 경우 해당 지역의 산업에 각각 130만 원과 57만 원의 피해 비용이 발생한다.

In this paper, speech enhancement using nonnegative matrix factorization with temporal continuity has been addressed. Speech and noise signals are modeled as Possion distributions, and basis vectors and gain vectors of NMF are modeled as Gamma distributions. Temporal continuity of the gain vector is known to be critical to the quality of enhanced speech signals. In this paper, temporal continiuty is implemented by adopting Gamma-Markov chain priors for noise gain vectors during the separation phase. Simulation results show that the Gamma-Markov chain models temporal continuity of noise signals and track changes in noise effectively.

A case is reported of a man with malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) in right thigh who developed streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) during postoperative radiotherapy. Before radiotherapy, a patient complained wax and wane lymphedema following wide excision of tumor mass which was confirmed as MFH. He took some nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) for about one month. He suffered preexisting hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, diabetes and well-controlled hypertension. The patient received conventional radiotherapy to right thigh with a total dose of 32.4 Gy at 1.8 Gy per day. At last radiotherapy fraction, cutaneous erythematous inflammation was suddenly developed at his affected thigh. At that time, he also complained of oliguria, fever and chills. The patient was consulted to internal medicine for adequate evaluation and management. The patient was diagnosed as suggested septic shock and admitted without delay. At admission, he showed hypotension, oliguria, constipation, abnormal renal and liver function. As a result of blood culture, Streptococcus pyogenes was detected. The patient was diagnosed to STSS. He was treated with adequate intravenous antibiotics and fluid support. STSS is one of oncologic emergencies and requires immediate medical intervention to prevent loss of life. In this patient, underlying HCV infection, postoperative lymphedema, prolonged NSAID medication, and radiotherapy may have been multiple precipitating factors of STSS.
