Objectives: This study investigated the relationship between clock-drawing test (CDT) performance and neuropsychological functions in patients with chronic schizophrenia. Methods: Thirty-one patients with schizophrenia and 30 healthy controls participated in this study. The CDT was administered in three conditions and analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative scoring systems. Comprehensive neuropsychological tests were administered. Results: The results of the quantitative analysis showed that the schizophrenia group performed significantly worse in all three conditions of the CDT compared with the control group. However, no significant differences were observed between the two groups, when the IQ and educational level were controlled. The qualitative analysis showed that the schizophrenia group exhibited significantly more errors in "graphic difficulty" compared with the control group. In addition, CDT quantitative scores were significantly correlated with visuospatial function, memory, attention and executive functions in patients with schizophrenia. Conversely, each qualitative error type was correlated with specific cognitive domains. Furthermore, "graphic difficulty" and "spatial/planning deficit" were identified as predictors of depression symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that the CDT is useful for assessing cognitive dysfunctions in patients with schizophrenia, while qualitative analyses provide more specific information about cognitive deficits compared with quantitative analyses.

In this paper, geometrically convex and s-convex functions in third and fourth sense are merged to form (g, s)-convex function. Characterizations of (g, s)-convex function, algebraic and functional properties are presented. In addition, novel functions based on the integral of (g, s)-convex functions in the third sense are created, and inequality relations for these functions are explored and examined under particular conditions. Further, there are also some relationships between (g, s)-convex function and previously defined functions. The (g, s)-convex function and its derivatives will then be used to extend the well-known H-H and Fejer's type inequalities. In order to obtain the previously mentioned conclusions, several special cases from previous literature for extended H-H and Fejer's inequalities are also investigated. The relation between the average (mean) values and newly created H-H and Fejer's inequalities are also examined.

This paper presents a conceptual approach to convert customer requirements expressed in ordinary language into a form of qualitative and quantitative functions for developing new products. This approach attempts to combine the concepts of the value engineering and the Kansei engineering. It emphasizes that customer require- ments should be interpreted and reflected on the design of new product. Specific are discussed for extracting subjective requirements and transforming them into qualitative and quantitative functions for product design. This approach is expected to provide the product designer with a systematic efficient tool for incorporating subjective requirements into a product design.

AHP is a competent methodology for multicriteria decision-making such as selection of technology in research laboratory, which requires the consideration of both quantitative and qualitative factors. This paper considers prioritization of technology alternatives using value functions for evaluating quantitative factors in AHP. Value functions are useful for the reducing questionars in this paper.

A unified framework for statistical inference for the mean of the normal distribution to derive point estimates, confidence intervals and statistical tests is proposed. This optimal design is justified after investigating the basic information and requirements that are possible and impossible to control when specifying practical and statistical requirements. Point estimation is only credible when viewed in the larger context of interval estimation, since the information required for optimal point estimation is unspecifiable. Triple sampling is proposed and justified as a reasonable sampling vehicle to achieve the specifiable requirements within the unified framework.

As the number of the installed escalators in Korea continues to increase, the accident rate is also increasing. Therefore, it would be necessary to proactively secure safety. PESSRAE is a controller that implements safety functions as electric/electronic/programmable electronic devices to respond to risks that may occur in escalators. Safety Integrity Level (SIL) is assigned to the safety functions of PESSRAE and it must be verified that the quantitative target value according to the SIL level is satisfied. In this paper, the initial PESSRAE is analyzed using the FMEDA (Failure Mode, Effects and Diagnostic Analysis), which is a quantitative safety analysis method, and design improvement specifications are derived from the analysis in order to satisfy the quantitative target values. Based on the derived design specifications, the improved PESSRAE controller was manufactured. And the appropriateness of the design was verified experimentally in a testbed environment simulating the real environment.

In this article we exhibit univariate and multivariate quantitative approximation by Kantorovich-Choquet type quasi-interpolation neural network operators with respect to supremum norm. This is done with rates using the first univariate and multivariate moduli of continuity. We approximate continuous and bounded functions on ℝ^N , N ∈ ℕ. When they are also uniformly continuous we have pointwise and uniform convergences. Our activation functions are induced by the arctangent, algebraic, Gudermannian and generalized symmetrical sigmoid functions.

With the increase of electrical consumption and the unbalance of power demand and supply, power reserve rate is getting smaller and also the reliability of the power supply is getting deteriorated. Under this circumstance, the electrical energy storage (EES) System is considered as one of essential countermeasure for demand side management. This paper proposes efficient evaluation algorithms of multiple functions for EES systems, especially the secondary battery energy storage systems, in the case where they are interconnected with the power distribution systems. It is important to perform the economic evaluation for the new energy storage systems in a quantitative manner, because they are very costly right now. In this paper, the multiple functions of EES systems such as load levelling, effective utilization of power distribution systems and uninterruptible power supply are classified, and then the quantitative evaluation methods for their functions are proposed. From the case studies, it is verified that EES systems installed at distribution systems in a dispersed manner have multiple functions involved with direct and indirect benefits and also they can be expected to introduce to distribution systems with respects to economical point of view.

This paper presents an efficient evaluation method on the role of new energy storage systems, especially the secondary Battery Energy Storage (BES) systems, in the case where they are interconnected with the power distribution systems. It is important to perform the economic evaluation for the new energy storage systems in a synthetical and quantitative manner, because they are very costly in the early stage of their development and commercialization. In this paper, the multiple functions of BES systems, which are operated at distribution systems, such as load levelling, effective utilization of power distribution systems and uninterruptible power supply at the emergency conditions are classified and analyzed. And then the quantitative evaluation methods of the multiple functions for BES systems are proposed using the mathematical modelling.

地理學에서는 地域의 特性을 규명하고자 수많은 計量的 分析手法을 사용하여 왔다. 본 고에서는 일종의 判別分析技法으로 최근에 도입된 CHAID技法을 사용하여 都市와 都市 機能에 관한 통계처리를 시도하였다. 2종류의 자료를 가지고 두 차례 처리를 실시하였는데, 하나는 인구 25만명 이상의 도시 20개를 예측변수로 하고, 行政, 市場, 金融機能 그리고 生 産機能을 반응변수로 하여 도시의 기능을 분류해 내었다. 두번째 처리에서는 앞서 언급한 행정, 시장, 금융, 생산기능 이외에 交通, 敎育, 의료, 文化, 그리고 運送機能의 9가지를 예측 변수로 선정하고, 수도권, 부산권, 대구권, 광주권, 충청권의 5개 권역을 반응변수로 하여 각 권역에서 탁월한 기능을 판별, 분류해 내었다. 이상에서 CHAID기법은 큰 양의 범주형 자료 를 처리할 수 있고, 樹形圖로 결과를 산출하여 해석이 용이하므로 地域을 分類하거나 특성 을 判別하는데 유용한 또 하나외 새로운 분석틀로 여겨진다.
