In this paper, we review several two-stage randomized response techniques for gathering self-report data when persons are asked sensitive question. Also efficiencies and privacy protections based on the two-stage randomized response procedures are compared. Finally, we find optimal parameter conditions.

In this study, we systemize the theoretical validity for applying RRM to three-stage cluster sampling method and derive the estimate and it's variance of sensitive parameter. We derive the minimum variance form under the optimal values of the subsample sizes when the costs are fixed. Under the some given precision, we obtain the optimal values of the subsample sizes and derive the minimum cost form by using them. We apply the three-stage cluster RRM to field survey and suggest some necessary points for practical use.

본 논문에서는 사회적으로나 개인적으로 매우 민감한 조사에서 조사하고자 하는 모집단이 여러개의 층으로 구성되어 있는 경우에, 김종호등 (1992)이 제안한 2단계 무관질문모형에서 사용한 단순임의 추출법 대신에 층화추출법을 적용하여 각 층의 모비율에 대한 추정뿐만아니라 모집단 전체 모비율에 대한 추정을 할 수 있는 층화 2단계 무관질문모형을 제안하였다. 그리고 층화 2단계 무관질문모형을 층화 3단계 무관질문 모형으로 확장하였다. 또한, 제안한 2단계와 3단계 층화 무관질문모형들에 있어서 각 층의 표본배분에 대하여 비례배분과 최적 배분 문제를 고려하여 다루었다. 마지막으로 층화 2단계 무관질문모형과 층화 3단계 무관질문모형과의 상대효율을 비교하였으며, 그 결과 층화 3단계 무관질문모형이 층화 2단계 무관질문모형보다 효율성면에 있어서 더 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

Since the cooling performance of a $CO_2$ cooling cycle is varied significantly with a variation of refrigerant charge amount and outdoor temperature, the reliability of $CO_2$ system is down. In this study, the performance characteristics of three kinds of $CO_2$ systems were measured and analyzed by varying refrigerant charge amount and outdoor temperature so as to study the characteristics of variation with cycle option. The applied system options are the single-stage compression(1C-1E) system, two-stage compression with 1-EEV(2C-1E) system, and two-stage compression with 2-EEV(2C-2E) system. The performances of two-stage compression with 2-EEV system were less sensitive than those of other systems and the system operated safely and steadily for wide charge amount. The performance of the two-stage compression with 1-EEV(2C-1E) system was the most sensitive to the charge amount, and that of the single-stage compression(1C-1E) system varied a lot with outdoor temperature.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is dangerous cancer that often evades early detection because it is asymptomatic and an effective detection method is lacking. For people with chronic liver inflammation who are at high risk of developing HCC, a sensitive detection method for HCC is needed. In a meta-analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas pan-cancer methylation database, we identified a CpG island in the USP44 promoter that is methylated specifically in HCC. We developed methylation-sensitive high-resolution melting (MS-HRM) analysis to measure the methylation levels of the USP promoter in cell-free DNA isolated from patients. Our MS-HRM assay correctly identified 40% of patients with early-stage HCC, whereas the α-fetoprotein test, which is currently used to detect HCC, correctly identified only 25% of early-stage HCC patients. These results demonstrate that USP44 MS-HRM analysis is suitable for HCC surveillance.

For shortening the tobacco breeding cycle, seedlings with 6, 8 and II leaves of 2 flue.cured tobacco varieties, day. neutral type and photoperiod-sensitive type, were grown in controlled-environment room (CER), programmed for temperature of $18^{\circ}C$ and 8.hour day period of 30 klux, for 20, 30 and 40 days. All of plants of day.neutral type variety treated in CER, regardless of seedling stage and duration, flowered earlier than the untreated plants. In the 6.leaf seedlings stage of photoperiod-sensitive type variety, plants treated for 20 and 30 days in CER did not accelerate the flowering. the tobacco plants, treated with low temperature for 20 days at 8.leaf seedling stage, flowered earlier in comparison with. the other treatment.

In this paper, the corrosion fatigue crack propagation behavior of structure rolled steel (SWS 41C) was investigated by changing the thickness, and this experiment was done by the three point bending corrosion fatigue tester. The main results obtained are as follows: 1) As the thickness of specimen becomes thicker, the corrosion sensitivity to initial stage crack becomes some sensitive, and that the fatigue life becomes more sensitive. 2) The crack growth rate to initial stage crack (da/dN) was retarded as the thickness of specimen becomes thicker. But after initial stage crack, as the thickness of specimen is more thicker, da/dN is more rapid. 3) As the corrosion fatigue crack length grows, the accelerative factor of thick specimen (t=12mm) is more higher than that of thin specimen (t=6mm). 4) As the corrosion fatigue crack length grows, the corroson potential of both thick specimen and thin specimen becomes more less noble potential, however thick specimen (t=12mm) tends to more less noble potential than that of thin specimen(t=6mm).

As AI has a wide range of influence on human social life, issues of transparency and ethics of AI are emerging. In particular, it is widely known that due to the existence of historical bias in data against ethics or regulatory frameworks for fairness, trained AI models based on such biased data could also impose bias or unfairness against a certain sensitive group (e.g., non-white, women). Demographic disparities due to AI, which refer to socially unacceptable bias that an AI model favors certain groups (e.g., white, men) over other groups (e.g., black, women), have been observed frequently in many applications of AI and many studies have been done recently to develop AI algorithms which remove or alleviate such demographic disparities in trained AI models. In this paper, we consider a problem of using the information in the sensitive variable for fair prediction when using the sensitive variable as a part of input variables is prohibitive by laws or regulations to avoid unfairness. As a way of reflecting the information in the sensitive variable to prediction, we consider a two-stage procedure. First, the sensitive variable is fully included in the learning phase to have a prediction model depending on the sensitive variable, and then an imputed sensitive variable is used in the prediction phase. The aim of this paper is to evaluate this procedure by analyzing several benchmark datasets. We illustrate that using an imputed sensitive variable is helpful to improve prediction accuracies without hampering the degree of fairness much.

k-Nearest Neighbor(k-NN)그래프는 모든 노드에 대한 k-NN 정보를 나타내는 데이터 구조로써, 협업 필터링, 유사도 탐색과 여러 정보검색 및 추천 시스템에서 k-NN그래프를 활용하고 있다. 이러한 장점에도 불구하고 brute-force방법의 k-NN그래프 생성 방법은 $O(n^2)$의 시간복잡도를 갖기 때문에 빅데이터 셋에 대해서는 처리가 곤란하다. 따라서, 고차원, 희소 데이터에 효율적인 Locality Sensitive Hashing 기법을 (key, value)기반의 분산환경인 MapReduce환경에서 사용하여 k-NN그래프를 생성하는 알고리즘이 연구되고 있다. Locality Sensitive Hashing 기법을 사용하여 사용자를 이웃후보 그룹으로 만들고 후보내의 쌍에 대해서만 brute-force하게 유사도를 계산하는 two-stage 방법을 MapReduce환경에서 사용하였다. 특히, 그래프 생성과정 중 유사도 계산하는 부분이 가장 많은 시간이 소요되므로 후보 그룹을 어떻게 만드는 것인지가 중요하다. 기존의 방법은 사이즈가 큰 후보그룹을 방지하는데 한계점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 효율적인 k-NN 그래프 생성을 위하여 사이즈가 큰 후보그룹을 재구성하는 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 실험을 통해 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘이 그래프의 정확성, Scan Rate측면에서 좋은 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

Several growth characteristics of two ornamental tobacco species, Nicotiana sanderae and N. affinis, were investigated in this study. Also effect of temperature and daylength on the flowering of the tobacco plants were evaluated to obtain basic information on breeding and cultivation. 1. The plants were great in high temperature-long day at the early stage and in low temperature-short day at the late stage of plant growth, for both Nicotana species. At the early growth stage the leaf length N. sanderae was great in high temperature-long day, and that of N. affinis was great in high temperature-short day period, while at the late stage of the plant growth the leaf lengths were more significantly effected by the temperature rather than daylength. Leaf width and leaf shape index were less sensitive to the conditions. 2. For both of the species, the total number of tobacco leaves not much influenced by the temperature and daylength. 3. There were no significant differences for budding and flowering period between the two species, both of which were sensitive to temperature and daylength with more influence by daylength than temperature. 4. Number of floral stalks, number of flower and flowering period were not much influenced by temperature and daylength; however, N. affinis had 2 more floral stalks, 31 more flowers, and 6 day longer flowering period than N. sanderae.
