Two phase sampling design is useful to increase estimation efficiency using deep stratification, improved non-response adjustment and reduced coverage bias. The same sampling units are commonly used for the first and the second phases in complex two-phase sampling design. In this paper we consider a sampling scheme where the first phase sampling units are clusters and the second phase sampling units are list samples. Using selected clusters in first phase requires that we list up elements in the selected clusters from the first phase and then use the list as a secondary sampling frame for the second phase sampling design. Then we select second phase samples from the listed sampling frame. We suggest an estimator based on the complex two-phase sampling design with different sampling units of each phase. Also the estimated variances of the estimator obtained by using classic and replication variance methods are considered and compared using simulation studies. For real data analysis, 2010 Korea Farm Household Economy Survey (KFHES) and 2011 Korea Agriculture Survey (KAS) are used.

Precipitation is a key variable to enhance the understanding of water cycle system and secure and manage the water resources efficiently. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of GPM precipitation datasets through comparison with the 92 ASOS sites in South Korea during 2015. Additionally, three merging techniques (i.e., Geographical Differential Analysis, Geographical Ratio Analysis, Conditional Merging) were applied to improve accuracy of precipitation by fusing the advantages from point and satellite-based datasets. The results of this study are as follows. 1) GPM dataset indicated slightly overestimation with compared ASOS dataset, especially high uncertainties in summer season. 2) Validation of three merging techniques through jackniffe cross-validation showed that uncertainty were decreased as the spatial resolution increased. Especially, conditional merging showed the best performance among three methods.

A sample survey design is suggested for the service satisfaction evaluation of regional education offices based on the sample size of 2009 Gyeongnam regional education offices's customer satisfaction survey. The sample design is developed to fit the goal of evaluation of individual regional offices and allocate at least the minimum sample size to each city or county in Gyeongnam to achieve the goal of the survey. The population is stratified according to the regions and the types of schools, and the sample of schools is selected with proportional to the size of classes within each stratum. Finally, each sample student is selected according to two-stage cluster sampling within each sample school. Weighting averages, weighting totals and so on can be evaluated for analysis purposes. Their variance estimates can be evaluated using re-sampling methods like BBR, Jackknife, linearization-substitution methods, which are generally used for the data from a complex sample.

Radon is an invisible, odorless, and radioactive gas. It is formed by the disintegration of radium, which is a decay product of uranium. Some amounts of radon gas and its products are present ubiquitously in the soil, water, and air. Particularly high radon levels occur in regions of high uranium content. Although radon is permeable into indoor environment not only through geological features (bed rock and permeability) but also through the construction materials and underground water, the radiation from the geological features is generally main exposure factor. So there can be a problem in a certain space such as the underground and/or relatively poor ventilation condition. In this study, a GIS technique was used in order to investigate spatial distribution of radon measured from sub- way stations of 1 thru 8 in Seoul, Korea in 1991, 1998, 2001, and 2006. Spatial analysis was applied to reproduce the radon distribution. We utilized spatial analysis techniques such as inverse distance weighted averaging (IDW) and kriging techniques which are widely used to relate between different spatial points. To validate the results from the analyses, the jackknife technique for an uncertainty test was performed. When the number of measuring sites was less than 100 and also when the number of omitted sites increased, the kriging technique was better than IDW. On the other hand, when the number of sites was over 100, IDW technique was better than kriging technique. Thus the selection of analytical tool was affected sensitives by the analysis based on the number of measuring sites.

The culticular substructure of the venom apparatus in the orb-web spider Araneus ventricosus are studied with scanning electron microscopy. The apparatus is composed of chelicera and paired venom glands in the cephalothorax. Each chelicera consists of a basal segment and a movable fang that articulates with each other. The chelicera of this spider is labidognathous form that moves at right angles to the body axis, and has two segments similar to that of a folding jackknife. Each cylindrical fang has a specialized hinge joint which articulate with the cheliceral groove which contains numerous small protrusions. In addition, each side of cheliceral groove is covered with a total of 7 cuticular teeth in two rows which composed of 4 promarginal and 3 retromarginal teeth. It has been also observed that a single venom pore is always located toward the direction of retromarginal teeth, and surface cuticular pits are distributed on the cuticular depressive area of cheliceral groove.

지구온난화로 인한 기후변화 등으로 안전한 하천구조물을 설계하기 위해서는 신뢰할 수 있는 홍수량 산정이 필요하다. 신뢰할 수 있는 홍수량 산정을 위해서는 정도 높은 과거 수문자료가 필요하나 국내의 많은 중소 규모유역이 미계측 유역 또는 과거 수문자료 부족으로 신뢰 할 수 있는 홍수량 산정이 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 미계측 유역의 홍수량 산정을 위하여 확률분포모형(PDM)의 매개변수 지역화를 수행하였다. 매개변수 지역화 연구를 수행하기 위하여, 금강 25개 유역을 대상으로 유역별 9~18개의 단기홍수수문사상을 선정하였다. 선정된 단기홍수수문사상을 확률분포모형에 적용하기위하여, MCAT (Monte Carlo Analysis Toolbox)을 활용하여 검정 및 검증을 수행하였으며, 목적함수는 수문곡선 모든 구간을 반영하는 NSE (Nash Sutcliffe Efficiency)와 고유량 부분을 반영하는 RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error) - FH를 적용하였다. 각각의 목적함수에 대하여 검정 모형 매개변수와 유역 특성인자의 다중 선형회귀식을 강우유출모형 매개변수 지역화 모형으로 제시하였다. 매개변수 지역화 결과의 평가를 위하여 청주 유역을 미계측 유역으로 가정하였다. 청주 유역에 대하여 지역화 매개변수를 적용한 결과, 17개의 사상 중 11개의 사상에서 NSE 목적함수 값이 0.5이상으로 전체적인 수문곡선의 경향성을 보였으며, 첨두 홍수량은 17개 사상 중 11개 사상에서 관측 첨두 홍수량 값의 20%이내를 제시하여 적합한 결과를 제시하였다. 또한 금강 25개 유역에 Jackknife 방법으로 검정 결과 관측 첨두 홍수량 값 20%이내의 성능을 보이는 사상이 56%를 포함하고 있어 의미있는 지역화 모형을 제시하였다고 판단된다. 본 연구에서 제시한 매개변수 지역화 방법은 미계측 유역의 유출모의에 활용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Objective: To evaluate the image quality and lesion detectability of lower-dose CT (LDCT) of the abdomen and pelvis obtained using a deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) algorithm compared with those of standard-dose CT (SDCT) images. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 123 patients (mean age ± standard deviation, 63 ± 11 years; male:female, 70:53) who underwent contrast-enhanced abdominopelvic LDCT between May and August 2020 and had prior SDCT obtained using the same CT scanner within a year. LDCT images were reconstructed with hybrid iterative reconstruction (h-IR) and DLIR at medium and high strengths (DLIR-M and DLIR-H), while SDCT images were reconstructed with h-IR. For quantitative image quality analysis, image noise, signal-to-noise ratio, and contrast-to-noise ratio were measured in the liver, muscle, and aorta. Among the three different LDCT reconstruction algorithms, the one showing the smallest difference in quantitative parameters from those of SDCT images was selected for qualitative image quality analysis and lesion detectability evaluation. For qualitative analysis, overall image quality, image noise, image sharpness, image texture, and lesion conspicuity were graded using a 5-point scale by two radiologists. Observer performance in focal liver lesion detection was evaluated by comparing the jackknife free-response receiver operating characteristic figures-of-merit (FOM). Results: LDCT (35.1% dose reduction compared with SDCT) images obtained using DLIR-M showed similar quantitative measures to those of SDCT with h-IR images. All qualitative parameters of LDCT with DLIR-M images but image texture were similar to or significantly better than those of SDCT with h-IR images. The lesion detectability on LDCT with DLIR-M images was not significantly different from that of SDCT with h-IR images (reader-averaged FOM, 0.887 vs. 0.874, respectively; p = 0.581). Conclusion: Overall image quality and detectability of focal liver lesions is preserved in contrast-enhanced abdominopelvic LDCT obtained with DLIR-M relative to those in SDCT with h-IR.
