A variety of influenza A viruses from animal hosts are continuously prevalent throughout the world which cause human epidemics resulting millions of human infections and enormous industrial and economic damages. Thus, early diagnosis of such pathogen is of paramount importance for biomedical examination and public healthcare screening. To approach this issue, here we propose a fully integrated Rotary genetic analysis system, called Rotary Genetic Analyzer, for on-site detection of influenza A viruses with high speed. The Rotary Genetic Analyzer is made up of four parts including a disposable microchip, a servo motor for precise and high rate spinning of the chip, thermal blocks for temperature control, and a miniaturized optical fluorescence detector as shown Fig. 1. A thermal block made from duralumin is integrated with a film heater at the bottom and a resistance temperature detector (RTD) in the middle. For the efficient performance of RT-PCR, three thermal blocks are placed on the Rotary stage and the temperature of each block is corresponded to the thermal cycling, namely $95^{\circ}C$ (denature), $58^{\circ}C$ (annealing), and $72^{\circ}C$ (extension). Rotary RT-PCR was performed to amplify the target gene which was monitored by an optical fluorescent detector above the extension block. A disposable microdevice (10 cm diameter) consists of a solid-phase extraction based sample pretreatment unit, bead chamber, and 4 ${\mu}L$ of the PCR chamber as shown Fig. 2. The microchip is fabricated using a patterned polycarbonate (PC) sheet with 1 mm thickness and a PC film with 130 ${\mu}m$ thickness, which layers are thermally bonded at $138^{\circ}C$ using acetone vapour. Silicatreated microglass beads with 150~212 ${\mu}L$ diameter are introduced into the sample pretreatment chambers and held in place by weir structure for construction of solid-phase extraction system. Fig. 3 shows strobed images of sequential loading of three samples. Three samples were loaded into the reservoir simultaneously (Fig. 3A), then the influenza A H3N2 viral RNA sample was loaded at 5000 RPM for 10 sec (Fig. 3B). Washing buffer was followed at 5000 RPM for 5 min (Fig. 3C), and angular frequency was decreased to 100 RPM for siphon priming of PCR cocktail to the channel as shown in Figure 3D. Finally the PCR cocktail was loaded to the bead chamber at 2000 RPM for 10 sec, and then RPM was increased up to 5000 RPM for 1 min to obtain the as much as PCR cocktail containing the RNA template (Fig. 3E). In this system, the wastes from RNA samples and washing buffer were transported to the waste chamber, which is fully filled to the chamber with precise optimization. Then, the PCR cocktail was able to transport to the PCR chamber. Fig. 3F shows the final image of the sample pretreatment. PCR cocktail containing RNA template is successfully isolated from waste. To detect the influenza A H3N2 virus, the purified RNA with PCR cocktail in the PCR chamber was amplified by using performed the RNA capture on the proposed microdevice. The fluorescence images were described in Figure 4A at the 0, 40 cycles. The fluorescence signal (40 cycle) was drastically increased confirming the influenza A H3N2 virus. The real-time profiles were successfully obtained using the optical fluorescence detector as shown in Figure 4B. The Rotary PCR and off-chip PCR were compared with same amount of influenza A H3N2 virus. The Ct value of Rotary PCR was smaller than the off-chip PCR without contamination. The whole process of the sample pretreatment and RT-PCR could be accomplished in 30 min on the fully integrated Rotary Genetic Analyzer system. We have demonstrated a fully integrated and portable Rotary Genetic Analyzer for detection of the gene expression of influenza A virus, which has 'Sample-in-answer-out' capability including sample pretreatment, rotary amplification, and optical detection. Target gene amplification was real-time monitored using the integrated Rotary Genetic Analyzer system.

회사채 신용등급은 투자자의 입장에서는 수익률 결정의 중요한 요소이며 기업의 입장에서는 자본비용 및 기업 가치와 관련된 중요한 재무의사결정사항으로 정교한 신용등급 예측 모형의 개발은 재무 및 회계 분야에서 오랫동안 전통적인 연구 주제가 되어왔다. 그러나, 회사채 신용등급 예측 모형의 성과와 관련된 가장 중요한 문제는 등급별 데이터의 불균형 문제이다. 예측 문제에 있어서 데이터 불균형(Data imbalance) 은 사용되는 표본이 특정 범주에 편중되었을 때 나타난다. 데이터 불균형이 심화됨에 따라 범주 사이의 분류경계영역이 왜곡되므로 분류자의 학습성과가 저하되게 된다. 본 연구에서는 데이터 불균형 문제가 존재하는 다분류 문제를 효과적으로 해결하기 위한 다분류 기하평균 부스팅 기법 (Multiclass Geometric Mean-based Boosting MGM-Boost)을 제안하고자 한다. MGM-Boost 알고리즘은 부스팅 알고리즘에 기하평균 개념을 도입한 것으로 오분류된 표본에 대한 학습을 강화할 수 있으며 불균형 분포를 보이는 각 범주의 예측정확도를 동시에 고려한 학습이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 회사채 신용등급 예측문제를 활용하여 MGM-Boost의 성과를 검증한 결과 SVM 및 AdaBoost 기법과 비교하여 통계적으로 유의적인 성과개선 효과를 보여주었으며 데이터 불균형 하에서도 벤치마킹 모형과 비교하여 견고한 학습성과를 나타냈다.
