Background: A major problem with cervical cancer screening in countries which have no organized national screening program for cervical cancer is sub-optimal participation. Implementation of self-sampling method may increase the coverage. Objective: We determined the agreement of cytological diagnoses made on samples collected by women themselves (self-sampling) versus samples collected by physicians (Physician sampling). Materials and Methods: We invited women volunteers to undergo two procedures; cervical self-sampling using the Evalyn brush and physician sampling using a Cervex brush. The women were shown a video presentation on how to take their own cervical samples before the procedure. The samples taken by physicians were taken as per routine testing (Gold Standard). All samples were subjected to Thin Prep monolayer smears. The diagnoses made were according to the Bethesda classification. The results from these two sampling methods were analysed and compared. Results: A total of 367 women were recruited into the study, ranging from 22 to 65 years age. There was a significant good agreement of the cytological diagnoses made on the samples from the two sampling methods with the Kappa value of 0.568 (p=0.040). Using the cytological smears taken by physicians as the gold standard, the sensitivity of self-sampling was 71.9% (95% CI:70.9-72.8), the specificity was 86.6% (95% CI:85.7-87.5), the positive predictive value was 74.2% (95% CI:73.3-75.1) and the negative predictive value was 85.1% (95% CI: 84.2-86.0). Self-sampling smears (22.9%) allowed detection of micro-organisms better than physicians samples (18.5%). Conclusions: This study shows that samples taken by women themselves (self-sampling) and physicians have good diagnostic agreement. Self-sampling could be the method of choice in countries in which the coverage of women attending clinics for screening for cervical cancer is poor.

목 적：뇌파의 비선형적 특성을 연구하는 방법으로 탈경향 변동분석이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 정상인 수면 뇌파에 탈경향변동분석을 적용하여 수면뇌파의 비선형적 특성, 채널 별 차이, 수면단계별 차이를 규명하고자 하였다. 방 법：정상인 12명($23.8{\pm}2.5$세, 남：여=7：5)를 대상으로 야간수면다원검사를 시행하였다. 수면다원검사를 통해 얻어진 뇌파를 채널 별, 수면단계별로 나누어 탈경향변동분석 시행 후 여기서 얻어진 축척지수(scaling exponent)를 선형혼합모형 분석을 통해 비교하였다. 결 과：정상인 수면다원검사에서 얻어진 뇌파의 축척지수는 1 내외의 값을 보여 장기-시간적연관성, 자기유사성을 보였다. C3 채널의 축적지수가 O1채널의 축적지수보다 높은 값을 보였다. 수면단계가 진행함에 따라 축적지수는 증가하였으며, 1단계 수면과 렘수면은 축적지수는 통계적 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결 론：정상인 수면 뇌파는 탈경향변동분석에서 무축척요동(scale-free fluctuation), 장기-시간적 관련성(long-range temporal correlation), 자기유사성(self-similarity) 및 스스로 짜여진 고비성(self-organized criticality) 등의 비선형적 특성을 보였다. 탈경향변동분석에서 얻어진 축적지수는 뇌파 채널 별, 수면단계별 차이를 보여 수면 뇌파를 연구하는 중요한 도구로 사용될 수 있다.

In this paper, we consider the femto users and their mutual interference as graph elements, nodes and weighted edges, respectively. The total bandwidth is divided into a number of resource blocks (RBs) and these are assigned to the femto user equipment (FUEs) using a graph coloring algorithm. In addition, resources blocks are assigned to the femto users to avoid inter-cell interference. The proposed scheme is compared with the traditional scheduling schemes in terms of throughput and fairness and performance improvement is achieved by exploiting the graph coloring scheme.

The Purpose of this study is to classify the life styles of urban residents in apartments and to find out possible correlation with their preferences on interior ambience.The selected samples were 3,000 residents from Seoul, Pusan, Kwaungju and Cheonan, and 2,750 of them were analyzed.'The results can be summarized as follows.1.The life style patterns were classified into S types, namely organized type, decoration-oriented type, self expression type, practicality-oriented type and fashion-oriented type. 2. Interior image were classified into 4 types, namely characteristic image, contemporary image, classic image and rich image.3. The interior preference was correlated with the life style patterns, such as organizd type preferred to contemporary image, decoration-oriented type preferred to rich image, self expression type preferred to classic image and practicality-oriented type preferred to characteristic type.4. The patterns of life style and the interior preference differed significantly according to the size of apartment and the age of owner.

We demonstrate a new approach to form gradient hole injection layer (HIL) in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Single spincoating of hole-injecting conducting polymer compositions with a perfluorinated ionomer results in gradient workfunction through the layer by self-organization, which lead to remarkably efficient single layer polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) (${\sim}21$ cd/A). The device lifetime was significantly improved (${\sim50$ times) compared with the conventional hole injection layer, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxy-thiophene)/polystyrene sulfonate. This solution processed HIL also produced dramatically enhanced luminous efficiency (${\sim}34$ cd/A) in vacuum- deposited green fluorescent OLEDs while the vacuum deposited HIL gave the luminous efficiency of ${\sim}23$ cd/A in the same device structure.

The cancer stem cell (CSC) model states that cancers are organized in cellular hierarchies, which explains the functional heterogeneity often seen in tumors. Like normal tissue stem cells, CSCs are capable of self-renewal, either by symmetric or asymmetric cell division, and have the exclusive ability to reproduce malignant tumors indefinitely. Current systemic cancer therapies frequently fail to eliminate advanced tumors, which may be due to their inability to effectively target CSC populations. It has been shown that embryonic pathways such as Wnt, Hedgehog, and Notch control self-renewal and cell fate decisions of stem cells and progenitor cells. These are evolutionary conserved pathways, involved in CSC maintenance. Targeting these pathways may be effective in eradicating CSCs and preventing chemotherapy or radiotherapy resistance.

In the present work, we investigate the anodization of Nb in a $K_2HPO_4$ containing glycerol electrolyte at elevated temperatures ($180^{\circ}C$). Under optimized conditions, uniformly over the entire anodized surface, self-organized porous $Nb_2O_5$ structures can be formed. The growth rate of highly ordered $Nb_2O_5$ is $1.7{\mu}m/min$ at beginning stage of anodization and the overall current efficiency is 70 %.

SOCMAC 신경망에 의하여 Mackey-Glass의 비선형 시계열 예측을 시도하였다 다차원 연속 입력 변수를 가지는 문제는 요구되는 기억용량의 규모가 너무 커서 CMAC에서는 일반적으로 취급이 곤난한 대상이었으나 SOCMAC에서는 이것이 가능함을 보였다. 또한 학습과정에서 수용영역(receptive field)을 가변으로 하는 개선된 방법을 제시하였다. 예측오차는 TDNN(time-delayed neural network)이나 BP(back-propagation) 수준이었다.
