The relationships between compression index, $C_c$, which is the slope of the e-log p curve from consolidation test, and other physical properties of remolded and undisturbed clays were examined. After examined, it is clarified that the $C_c$-initial porosity, $n_0$, relationship is better correlation than the $C_c$-other factors relationship, and a new $C_c$ equations using $n_0$ for remolded and undisturbed clays were suggested.

Objective: To investigate the effects of reversing the coiling direction of nickel-titanium closed-coil springs (NiTi-CCSs) on the force-deflection characteristics. Methods: The samples consisted of two commercially available conventional NiTi-CCS groups and two reverse-wound NiTi-CCS groups (Ormco-Conventional vs. Ormco-Reverse; GAC-Conventional vs. GAC-Reverse; n = 20 per group). The reverse-wound NiTi-CCSs were directly made from the corresponding conventional NiTi-CCSs by reversing the coiling direction. Tensile tests were performed for each group in a temperature-controlled acrylic chamber ($37{\pm}1^{\circ}C$). After measuring the force level, the range of the deactivation force plateau (DFP) and the amount of mechanical hysteresis (MH), statistical analyses were performed. Results: The Ormco-Reverse group exhibited a significant shift of the DFP end point toward the origin point (2.3 to 0.6 mm), an increase in the force level (1.2 to 1.3 N) and amount of MH (1.0 to 1.5 N) compared to the Ormco-Conventional group (all p < 0.001), which indicated that force could be constantly maintained until the end of the deactivation curve. In contrast, the GAC-Reverse group exhibited a significant shift of the DFP-end point away from the origin point (0.2 to 3.3 mm), a decrease in the force level (1.1 to 0.9 N) and amount of MH (0.6 to 0.4 N) compared to the GAC-Conventional group (all p < 0.001), which may hinder the maintenance of force until the end of the deactivation curve. Conclusions: The two commercially available NiTi-CCS groups exhibited different patterns of change in the force-deflection characteristics when the coiling direction was reversed.

Purpose: Carbohydrate antigen (CA) 242 is inversely related to prognosis in many cancers. However, few data regarding CA 242 in esophageal cancer (EC) are available. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of CA 242 and propose an optimum cut-off point in predicting survival difference in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of 192 cases. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for survival prediction was plotted to verify the optimum cuf-off point. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate prognostic parameters for survival. Results: The positive rate for CA 242 was 7.3% (14/192). The ROC curve for survival prediction gave an optimum cut-off of 2.15 (U/ml). Patients with CA 242 ${\leq}$ 2.15 U/ml had significantly better 5-year survival than patients with CA 242 >2.15 U/ml (45.4% versus 22.6%; P=0.003). Multivariate analysis showed that differentiation (P=0.033), CA 242 (P=0.017), T grade (P=0.004) and N staging (P<0.001) were independent prognostic factors. Conclusions: Preoperative CA 242 is a predictive factor for long-term survival in ESCC, especially in nodal-negative patients. We conclude that 2.15 U/ml may be the optimum cuf-off point for CA 242 in predicting survival in ESCC.

Al-doped p-type ZnO films were fabricated on n-Si (100) and homo-buffer layers in pure oxygen at $450^{\circ}C$ of by RF magnetron sputtering. Target was ZnO ceramic mixed with 2 wt% $Al_2O_3$. XRD spectra show that the Al-doped ZnO thin films have ZnO crystal structure and homo-buffer layers are beneficial to Al-doped ZnO films to grow along c-axis. Hall Effect experiments with Van der Pauw configuration show that p-type carrier concentrations are ranged from $1.66{\times}10^{16}$ to $4.04{\times}10^{18}\;cm^{-3}$, mobilities from 0.194 to $2.3\;cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ and resistivities from 7.97 to $18.4\;{\Omega}cm$. p-type sample has density of $5.40\;cm^{-3}$ which is smaller than theoretically calculated value of $5.67\;cm^{-3}$. XPS spectra show that Ols has O-O and Zn-O structures and Al2p has only Al-O structure. P-ZnO:Al/n-ZnO:Al junctions were fabricated by magnetron sputtering. V-I curves show that the p-n junctions have rectifying characteristics.

CVD 텅스텐의 응력 및 접합 누설전류 특성을 조사하였다. 응력-연속 어닐링온도 의 그래프는 냉각곡선의 응력이 가열곡선의 그것보다 더 높게 나타나는 이력현상을 보인다. SiH4 환원에 의하여 증착된 텅스텐 막이 수소환원에 의하여 증착된 막보다 전반적으로 내부 응력 뿐만 아니라 열 응력도 더 큰 것으로 나타났으며 전자가 후자에 비해 실리콘 기판과의 부착특성이 불량한 것도 이러한 응력차와 유관한 것으로 생각된다. SiH4 환원에 의하여 형 성된 텅스텐 막은 상온에서 인장 응력 상태에 있으며, 온도가 증가됨에 따라 응력이 감소하 다가 $700^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 압축 응력 상태로 바뀌고, 계속 더 온도가 증가됨에 따라 압축 응력 이 급격히 증가한다. SiH4 환원에 의한 텅스텐 막의 증착 온도가 증가함에 따라 n+/p 접합 의 누설전류가 크게 증가하며, 특히 $400^{\circ}C$로 온도가 증가함에 따라 누설전류의 증가폭이 크게 나타났는데, 이것은 수소환원 반응시와 유사하게 텅스텐의 침투(encroachment)에 의 한 실리콘 소모가 그 원인이다. SiH4/WF6 유속비의 증가에 따라서도 누설전류가 증가하는 데 그 효과는 미소한 것으로 나타났다.

Objective: To evaluate the usefulness of the ventricular volume percentage quantified using three-dimensional (3D) brain computed tomography (CT) data for interpreting serial changes in hydrocephalus. Materials and Methods: Intracranial and ventricular volumes were quantified using the semiautomatic 3D threshold-based segmentation approach for 113 brain CT examinations (age at brain CT examination ≤ 18 years) in 38 patients with hydrocephalus. Changes in ventricular volume percentage were calculated using 75 serial brain CT pairs (time interval 173.6 ± 234.9 days) and compared with the conventional assessment of changes in hydrocephalus (increased, unchanged, or decreased). A cut-off value for the diagnosis of no change in hydrocephalus was calculated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The reproducibility of the volumetric measurements was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient on a subset of 20 brain CT examinations. Results: Mean intracranial volume, ventricular volume, and ventricular volume percentage were 1284.6 ± 297.1 cm³, 249.0 ± 150.8 cm³, and 19.9 ± 12.8%, respectively. The volumetric measurements were highly reproducible (intraclass correlation coefficient = 1.0). Serial changes (0.8 ± 0.6%) in ventricular volume percentage in the unchanged group (n = 28) were significantly smaller than those in the increased and decreased groups (6.8 ± 4.3% and 5.6 ± 4.2%, respectively; p = 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively; n = 11 and n = 36, respectively). The ventricular volume percentage was an excellent parameter for evaluating the degree of hydrocephalus (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.975; 95% confidence interval, 0.948-1.000; p < 0.001). With a cut-off value of 2.4%, the diagnosis of unchanged hydrocephalus could be made with 83.0% sensitivity and 100.0% specificity. Conclusion: The ventricular volume percentage quantified using 3D brain CT data is useful for interpreting serial changes in hydrocephalus.

In this paper we consider the well-known semiparametric proportional hazards (PH) models for survival analysis. These models are usually used with few covariates and many observations (subjects). But, for a typical setting of gene expression data from DNA microarray, we need to consider the case where the number of covariates p exceeds the number of samples n. For a given vector of response values which are times to event (death or censored times) and p gene expressions (covariates), we address the issue of how to reduce the dimension by selecting the significant genes. This approach enable us to estimate the survival curve when n < < p. In our approach, rather than fixing the number of selected genes, we will assign a prior distribution to this number. The approach creates additional flexibility by allowing the imposition of constraints, such as bounding the dimension via a prior, which in effect works as a penalty. To implement our methodology, we use a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method. We demonstrate the use of the methodology to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) complementary DNA(cDNA) data.

This paper is concerned with statistical methods for multivariate data when the number p of variables is large compared to the sample size n. Such data appear typically in analysis of DNA microarrays, curve data, financial data, etc. However, there is little statistical theory for high dimensional data. On the other hand, there are some asymptotic results under the assumption that both and p tend to $\infty$, in some ratio p/n ${\rightarrow}$c. The results suggest that the new asymptotic results are more useful and insightful than the classical large sample asymptotics. The main purpose of this paper is to review some asymptotic results for high dimensional statistics as well as classical statistics under a high dimensional asymptotic framework.
