This paper proposes some diagnostics procedures for the skew-t linear regression model with censored response. The skew-t distribution is an attractive family of asymmetrical heavy-tailed densities that includes the normal, skew-normal and student's-t distributions as special cases. Inspired by the power and wide applicability of the EM-type algorithm, local and global influence analysis, based on the conditional expectation of the complete-data log-likelihood function are developed, following Zhu and Lee's approach. For the local influence analysis, four specific perturbation schemes are discussed. Two real data sets, from education and economics, which are right and left censoring, respectively, are analyzed in order to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed methodology.

The effects of electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) and organic solderability preservative (OSP) surface finishes on the in-situ intermetallics reaction and the electromigration (EM) reliability of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305) solder bump were systematically investigated. After as-bonded, $(Cu,Ni)_6Sn_5$ intermetallic compound (IMC) was formed at the interface of the ENIG surface finish at solder top side, while at the OSP surface finish at solder bottom side,$ Cu_6Sn_5$ and $Cu_3Sn$ IMCs were formed. Mean time to failure on SAC305 solder bump at $130^{\circ}C$ with a current density of $5.0{\times}10^3A/cm^2$ was 78.7 hrs. EM open failure was observed at bottom OSP surface finish by fast consumption of Cu atoms when electrons flow from bottom Cu substrate to solder. In-situ scanning electron microscope analysis showed that IMC growth rate of ENIG surface finish was much lower than that of the OSP surface finish. Therefore, EM reliability of ENIG surface finish was higher than that of OSP surface finish due to its superior barrier stability to IMC reaction.

Recently, SIW(Substrate Integrated Waveguide) is intensively studied because of its high Q and easy integration with other devices. However, lacks of analytic characterization of SIW makes it difficult an accurate design of a SIW filter along the conventional filter design method. In this paper, two kinds of a three-stage 10 GHz SIW bandpass filter of fractional bandwidth 10% are designed using 3D EM simulator HFSS based on the recently presented EM filter design method. Two types of a modified CPW to SIW transition is proposed and employed as a SIW to microstrip transition necessary for measurement. The transitions provide an easy measurement with commercial test fixture by TRL calibration. The two proposed transitions are included in the SIW filters. The fabricated filters shows the center frequency of 10 GHz, fractional bandwidth 10%, a return loss of about 12 dB, and insertion loss of about 0.8 dB.

High-Pass (ETC ; Electronic Toll Collection) system is one of the basic elements, which adopts a wireless communication method using 5.8 GHz and can realize a part of ITS (Intelligent Traffic System). On the other hand, communication errors occur frequently in Hi-Pass system due to signal erros, multi-path reflection, and/or system-to-system interferences. To solve these problems, an EM (Electro-Magnetic) wave absorber can be used. To solve these Problems, we fabricated some samples in the different composition ratios of Carbon, Sendust, and CPE, and it was confirmed that the optimum composition ratio of Carbon : Sendust : CPE is 10 : 40 : 50 wt.%. The complex relative permittivity and complex relative permeability were derived by using the measured data. In addition, the optimum design parameters for the absorber were determined by simulation. Then the absorption abilities were calculated by changing the thickness of the EM wave absorbers. As a result, the optimum thickness of the developed EM wave absorber was 2.85 mm with absorption ability over 22.4 dB at 5.8 GHz. Futhermore, the EM wave absorber was fabricated based on the simulated and designed values. The measured values agreed well with the simulated ones. Therefore, it was clearly shown that the developed EM wave absorber in this paper is to be applied in actual situations.

Basic dyes such as malachite green and methylene blue have been used as disinfectants to control water fungal infections since the 1930s. However, after succeeding reports of carcinogenicity and bioaccumulation of the dye, their use was forbidden in lieu of public health. This study undertook to evaluate the therapeutic effect of sulfur solution processed by effective microorganisms (EM-PSS) against Saprolegnia parasitica infection, and its safety in fish. In vitro antifungal evaluation of EM-PSS inhibited the growth of S. parasitica mycelia at concentrations of 50 ppm or higher. The acute toxicity test of EM-PSS to the mud fish (Misgurnus mizolepis) measured a no effect concentration (NOEC) at 100 ppm, the lowest effect concentration (LOEC) at 125 ppm, and the half-lethal concentration ($LC_{50}$) at 125 ppm in juvenile and 250 ppm in the immature stage. In addition, the ecotoxicity test of EM-PSS using Daphnia magna inhibited swimming of D. magna at concentrations of 100 ppm or less. Lastly, the EM-PSS prevented infection of S. parasitica to mud fish, at concentrations of 50 ppm. Furthermore, at 100 ppm concentration, the EM-PSS showed no acute toxicity on mud fish, nor any eco-toxic effects on D. magnano. Therefore, we conclude that carcinogenic disinfectants such as malachite green and methylene blue could be replaced by EM-PSS to remove S. parasitica in mud fish farming, and might be a potential eco-friendly disinfectant in aquaculture.

This study was investigated to obtain basic information for the development of irrigation plans in upland cultivation of Wasabi. Changes of stomatal conductivity and photosynthetic rate of Wasabi, and of the soil water potential during withholding watering were analysed. The stomatal conductivity of Wasabi at $1000{\mu}Em^{-2}s^{-1}$ light intensity was $70mmolem^{-2}s^{-1}$, which was about 49% lower than that of Chinese cabbage, $138mmolem^{-2}s^{-1}$. The temporal changes of light intensity during the daytime did not influence the stomatal conductivity. The soil water potential that decreased stomatal conductivity in Wasabi was about - 50kPa at 10 AM, and about - 30kPa at 3 PM. The photosynthetic rate of Wasabi at$1000{\mu}Em^{-2}s^{-1}$ light intensity was $7.6mgdm^{-2}hr^{-1}$, which was about 50% lower than that of Chinese cabbage, $15.3mgdm^{-2}hr^{-1}$. The duration required for a stable photosynthetic rate was longer in Wasabi than in Chinese cabbage. The soil water potential that decreased photosynthetic rate in Wasabi was about - 50kPa at 10 AM, and about - 30kPa at 3 PM. The stomatal conductivity and photosynthetic rate showed significant positive correlation at various soil water potential. The results indicated that irrigation in wasabi could be done during the daytime when the soil water potential is above - 30kPa, which does not decrease stomatal conductivity and photosynthesis in Wasabi.

Rapid evolution of wired and wireless technologies results in various types of embedded systems, and the software to be embedded into those devices now needs the flexibility rather than the fixedness which was well-known property for the embedded software in the past. Mobile agent is one of the useful distributed technologies of reducing network load and latency because of its disconnected operations and high asynchrony. In this paper, a component-based mobile agent framework, called EmHUMAN, is designed and implemented for structural embedding into the devices showing different functions and resource constraints. It consists of 3 layers of components. Based on those components, a structural embedding, considering resource constraints of required functions, amount of storage space, computing power, network bandwidth, ${\ldots} $ etc can be performed. The components in each layer can be extended with addition of new components, removing some components and modifying components. EmHUMAN plays the role of a framework for developing mobile agent based distributed systems. It is also a mobile agent system by itself. EmHUMAN provides several utilities as built-in API's, and thus high effectiveness in programming mobile agents can be achieved.

Coming with the well-being era, consumer's demand for safe agricultural products is increasing. So, it is urgent to develop an environment-friendly rice production system. Accordingly, this study was conducted to develop an environment-friendly rice production system by using Amo known as EM(effective microorganisms) and also known as being effective in environment-friendly rice production with several other environment-friendly agricultural materials. The highest number of tillers per hill was obtained from level 2 of EM treatment (48.8 tillers per hill), while the lowest was obtained from the control plot (41.0 tillers per hill). Leaf area per hill at heading stage was the highest in level 3 of EM treatment $(3228.5cm^2)$, while control was the lowest leaf area $(2264.7cm^2)$, which is 70.2% compared to the level 3 of EM treatment. The highest effective tillers was obtained from the control (63.7%), while the lowest effective tillers was obtained from the level 3 of EM treatment (55.4%), which were treated with higher amounts of environment-friendly agricultural materials. Level 3 of EM treatment showed the highest number of panicles per hill (20.9), while the control showed the lowest number of panicles per hill (19.3). In the spikelets per panicle, level 2 of EM treatment showed the highest number of spikelets (85.2), while the control showed the lowest number of spikelets (81.9) and there was a statistically significant difference among the three levels and control. The highest grain filling ratio was obtained from the control (85.0%), while level 3 of EM treatment was the lowest grain filling ratio and there were no great difference between treatment levels. Regarding the 1000 grain weight, the control showed the highest 1000 grain weight (21.7g), which is heavier by about 1g compared to treatment levels. Level 2 of EM treatment showed the highest rough rice yield per 10a, while level 3 of EM treatment was the lowest and they also showed a statistically significant difference among treatment levels.
