  • Plasmodiophora brassicae is an obligate parasite, a causal organism of clubroot disease in crucifers that can survive in the soil as resting spores for many years. P. brassicae causes great losses in susceptible varieties of crucifers throughout the world. In this present study, an in planta molecular marker for the detection of P. bassicae was developed using an oligonucleotide primer set foam the small subunit gene (18S like) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of rDNA. The specific primer sequences determined were TCAGCTTGAATGCTAATGTG (ITS5) and CTACCTCATTTGAGATCCTTTGA (PB-2). This primer set was used to specifically detect p. bassicae in planta. The amplicon using the specific primer set was about 1,000 bp. However, the test plant and other soil-borne fungi including Fusarium spp. and Rhizoctonia app., as well as bacteria such as Pseudomonas app. and Erwinia sup. did not show any reaction with the primer set.

  • The computation of moving interface by the level set method typically requires reinitializations of level set function. An inaccurate estimation of level set function ${\phi}$ results in incorrect free-surface capturing and thus errors such as mass gain/loss. Therefore, accurate and robust reinitialization process is essential to the free-surface flows. In the present paper, we pursue further development of the reinitialization process, which evaluates directly level set function ${\phi}$ using a normal vector in the interface without solving the re-distancing equation of hyperbolic type. The Taylor-Galerkin approximation and P1P1splitting FEM are adopted to discretize advection equation of the level set function and the Navier-Stokes equation, respectively. Advection equation of free surface and re-initialization process are validated with benchmark problems, i.e., a broken dam flow and time-reversed single vortex flow. The simulation results are in good agreement with the existing results.

  • The visibility polygon of a simple polygon P is the set of points which are visible from a visibility source in P such as a point or an edge. Since a visibility polygon is the set of points, the set operations such as intersection, union, or difference can be executed on them. The intersection (resp. union) of two visibility polygons is the set of points which are visible from both (resp. either) of the corresponding two visibility sources. The difference of two visibility polygons is the set of points which are visible from only a visibility source. Previously, the best known algorithm for the set operations of two polygons with total n vertices takes O(nlogn + k) time, where k is the output size. In this paper, we present O(n) time algorithms for computing the intersection, the union, and the difference of given two visibility polygons, which are optimal.

  • Sequential procedure with ${\beta}$-protection for the mean vector ${\mu}(\theta)$ of a p(> 1)-variate multivariate distribution $P_{\theta}$, ${\theta}{\in}{\Theta}$, with covariance matrix ${\sum}(\theta)$ is considered when the only nuisance parameters is ${\sum}(\theta)$. We obtain a confidence set for ${\mu}(\theta)$ with coverage probability condition and ${\beta}$-protection at ${\mu}-{\delta}(\mu)$ for some imprecision function ${\delta}:\mathbb{R}^p{\rightarrow}\mathbb{R}^p$.

  • Images and inverse images of (almost) stable cubic sets are discussed. We show that the image and inverse image of stable cubic sets are also stable. Conditions for the image of almost cubic sets to be an almost cubic set are provided. The complement, the P-union and the P-intersection of (inverse) images of (almost) stable cubic sets are considered.

  • Objective: To investigate the association of clinical, pathologic, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) variables with progressive disease (PD) during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Materials and Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 252 women with TNBC who underwent NAC between 2010 and 2019. Clinical, pathologic, and treatment data were collected. Two radiologists analyzed the pre-NAC MRI. After random allocation to the development and validation sets in a 2:1 ratio, we developed models to predict PD and DMFS using logistic regression and Cox proportional hazard regression, respectively, and validated them. Results: Among the 252 patients (age, 48.3 ± 10.7 years; 168 in the development set; 84 in the validation set), PD was occurred in 17 patients and 9 patients in the development and validation sets, respectively. In the clinical-pathologic-MRI model, the metaplastic histology (odds ratio [OR], 8.0; P = 0.032), Ki-67 index (OR, 1.02; P = 0.044), and subcutaneous edema (OR, 30.6; P = 0.004) were independently associated with PD in the development set. The clinical-pathologic-MRI model showed a higher area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) than the clinical-pathologic model (AUC: 0.69 vs. 0.54; P = 0.017) for predicting PD in the validation set. Distant metastases occurred in 49 patients and 18 patients in the development and validation sets, respectively. Residual disease in both the breast and lymph nodes (hazard ratio [HR], 6.0; P = 0.005) and the presence of lymphovascular invasion (HR, 3.3; P < 0.001) were independently associated with DMFS. The model consisting of these pathologic variables showed a Harrell's C-index of 0.86 in the validation set. Conclusion: The clinical-pathologic-MRI model, which considered subcutaneous edema observed using MRI, performed better than the clinical-pathologic model for predicting PD. However, MRI did not independently contribute to the prediction of DMFS.

  • Let $\mathbb{N}_0$ be the set of non-negative integers, and let P(n, l) denote the set of all weak compositions of n with l parts, i.e., $P(n,l)=\{(x_1,x_2,{\cdots},x_l){\in}\mathbb{N}^l_0\;:\;x_1+x_2+{\cdots}+x_l=n\}$. For any element $u=(u_1,u_2,{\cdots},u_l){\in}P(n,l)$, denote its ith-coordinate by u(i), i.e., $u(i)=u_i$. A family $A{\subseteq}P(n,l)$ is said to be t-intersecting if ${\mid}\{i:u(i)=v(i)\}{\mid}{\geq}t$ for all $u,v{\epsilon}A$. A family $A{\subseteq}P(n,l)$ is said to be trivially t-intersecting if there is a t-set T of $[l]=\{1,2,{\cdots},l\}$ and elements $y_s{\in}\mathbb{N}_0(s{\in}T)$ such that $A=\{u{\in}P(n,l):u(j)=yj\;for\;all\;j{\in}T\}$. We prove that given any positive integers l, t with $l{\geq}2t+3$, there exists a constant $n_0(l,t)$ depending only on l and t, such that for all $n{\geq}n_0(l,t)$, if $A{\subseteq}P(n,l)$ is non-trivially t-intersecting, then $${\mid}A{\mid}{\leq}(^{n+l-t-l}_{l-t-1})-(^{n-1}_{l-t-1})+t$$. Moreover, equality holds if and only if there is a t-set T of [l] such that $$A=\bigcup_{s{\in}[l]{\backslash}T}\;A_s{\cup}\{q_i:i{\in}T\}$$, where $$A_s=\{u{\in}P(n,l):u(j)=0\;for\;all\;j{\in}T\;and\;u(s)=0\}$$ and $$q_i{\in}P(n,l)\;with\;q_i(j)=0\;fo\;all\;j{\in}[l]{\backslash}\{i\}\;and\;q_i(i)=n$$.
