In this study, we have proposed a sampling method and an estimation method for efficiently estimating the mean of a population which has a linear trend. These methods involve drawing a sample by the so-called "centered balanced systematic sampling", which is an extension of systematic sampling, and then estimating the population mean with an adjusted estimator, not with the sample mean itself. We used the concept of interpolation in determining the adjusted estimator.\Ve compared the efficiency of the proposed estimator with those of the estimators from existing methods, under the expected mean square error criterion based on the infinite superpopulation model introduced by Cochran(1946). The proposed method is for use in the case when the sample size n(2 5) is an odd number and k(the reciprocal of the sampling fraction) is an even number. A good result was also obtained in an example using computer simulation. simulation.

In an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing) system, the sampling frequency offset between the transmitter and receiver is known to cause the interchannel interference (ICI), resulting in performance degradation. In this paper, we propose two time-domain techniques to estimate the sampling frequency offset, especially for a high data-rate OFDM system. The first technique estimates the sampling frequency offset by using the phase difference between two received samples with a fixed amount of time interval, corresponding to the transmitted training symbol, under the assumption of perfect symbol and carrier offset synchronization. The second technique estimates the sampling frequency offset and carrier frequency offset jointly, when the two offsets exist together, by using two training symbols with different frequency components and using a sample algebraic calculation. The proposed estimation techniques for sampling frequency offset cause no time delay due to all time-domain processing, and have a good performance due to no ICI effect. The performances of the proposed techniques are demonstrated by various simulations.

It is widely known that Environmental Tobacco Smoke(ETS) is not good for health. ETS is composed of a lot of chemicals. So indicators are needed to evaluate the risk of ETS in air. One of the indicators is Nicotine. Active sampler has been used to measure nicotine concentration in air. The experiments were conducted to compare the active sampler method with diffusive sampler in exposure chamber and smoking areas, respectively. Sampling rate was 40.5 ml/min in exposure chamber. Experimental sampling rate (40.5 ml/min) was more than theoretical sampling rate (33.52 ml/min). And the higher was the concentration in air, the higher was experimental sampling rate. The average desorption, rate was 113.6%. The overall precision was 7.31 %. The overall accuracy was 18.96%, which were under NIOSH criteria. The average(GM) concentrations of nicotine by two sampling methods were $8.29{\mu}g/m^{3}$ (active sampler), $7.54{\mu}/m^{3}$ (diffusive sampler) in smoking area and smoking room. There was no regression between active sampler and diffusive sampler ($R^{2}=0.2397$). But slope, coefficient of determination was 1.017, 0.9292, respectively after removing outliers. And the slope (1.017) was close to the theoretical slope (1). In conclusion, this study indicated that diffusive sampler can be used to evaluate concentration of nicotine in air instead of active sampler.

The guarantee of the fast dynamics stability is essential for successful application of singular Perturbation technique to control systems design. Even though the fast dynamics of the control systems is rendered stable by an analog controller, the fast dynamics stability of the control systems resulted from an digital implementation of the analog controller can be impaired severely. In this paper, we first investigate the time sampling effects on singular perturbation based control systems by centering on a design example of recently developed singular perturbation based STT missile autopilot with high performance. The investigation shows that the stability margin the fast dynamics of the STT misile autopilot system decreases rapidly as the sampling interval of discretizing the analog autopilot increases. Under this analysis, we propose a composite digital controller with compensation for the decreasing stability margin of the fast dynamics due to time sampling to achieve better performance with respect to sampling time. The improved performance of the proposed composite digital controller is verified by simulation. This result shows that one needs to investigate time sampling effects in the digital implementation of singular perturbation based controllder, and then can have benefit from the investigation.

In medical industry, health insurance bill audit is unique and essential process in general hospitals. The health insurance bill audit process is very important because not only for hospital's profit but also hospital's reputation. Particularly, at the large general hospitals many related workers including analysts, nurses, and etc. have engaged in the health insurance bill audit process. This paper introduces a case of health insurance bill audit for finding reducible health insurance bill cases using decision tree induction techniques at a large general hospital in Korea. When supervised learning methods had been tried to be applied, one of major problems was data imbalance problem in the health insurance bill audit data. In other words, there were many normal(passing) cases and relatively small number of reduction cases in a bill audit dataset. To resolve the problem, in this study, well-known methods for imbalanced data sets including over sampling of rare cases, under sampling of major cases, and adjusting the misclassification cost are combined in several ways to find appropriate decision trees that satisfy required conditions in health insurance bill audit situation.

Spatial sampling design plays an important role in GIS-based modeling studies because it increases modeling efficiency while reducing the cost of sampling. In the field of agricultural systems, research demand for high-resolution spatial databased modeling to predict and evaluate climate change impacts is growing rapidly. Accordingly, the need and importance of spatial sampling design are increasing. The purpose of this study was to design spatial sampling of paddy fields (11,386 grids with 1 km spatial resolution) in Korea for use in agricultural spatial modeling. A stratified random sampling design was developed and applied in 2030s, 2050s, and 2080s under two RCP scenarios of 4.5 and 8.5. Twenty-five weather and four soil characteristics were used as stratification variables. Stratification and sample allocation were optimized to ensure minimum sample size under given precision constraints for 16 target variables such as crop yield, greenhouse gas emission, and pest distribution. Precision and accuracy of the sampling were evaluated through sampling simulations based on coefficient of variation (CV) and relative bias, respectively. As a result, the paddy field could be optimized in the range of 5 to 21 strata and 46 to 69 samples. Evaluation results showed that target variables were within precision constraints (CV<0.05 except for crop yield) with low bias values (below 3%). These results can contribute to reducing sampling cost and computation time while having high predictive power. It is expected to be widely used as a representative sample grid in various agriculture spatial modeling studies.

The endogenous gibberellin(GA) levels of sorghum grown under different photoperiodic conditions were measured by GC-MS-SIM. The effect of photoperiods on the diurnal GA levels of the 13-hydroxylation pathway was investigated by sampling every 6 h for 1 day. Levels of $GA_12$, $GA_53$, $GA_19$, $GA_20$, $GA_1$ and $GA_8$ were not constant throughout sampling times but rather rhythmic in productions. Wild-type seedlings grown under short photoperiod contained more $GA_20$ and $GA_1$ than those of long photoperiod. Although plant height of phyB-l(phytochrome B mutant) was taller than wild-type under all photoperiods tested, $GA_1$ concentration of wild-type grown under 10 h photoperiod was higher than that of phyB-l grown under the same photoperiod. These results are compatible with the idea that phytochrome B changed seedling responsiveness to GAs.

In this study, we systemize the theoretical validity for applying unrelated question model 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 cost 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.
