This study was undertaken to hemodynamically determine the differences of myocardial protective effect between crystalloid and blood cardioplegic solution. Twenty nine children undergoing cardiac operations due to cyanotic congenital heart diseases were randomized into two groups receiving crystalloid or blood cardioplegia. Cardiac indices and other hemodynamic datum were examined postoperatively. Although there was no statistical differences between groups, postoperative stroke volume indices and left ventricular stroke work indices were slightly better with blood cardioplegia. We also found that postoperative left atrial pressures[p=0.0003], central venous pressures[p=0.004], and heart rates[p=0.014] were significantly lower with blood cardioplegia. The fact that relatively lower ventricular preloads [left atrial pressure and central venous pressure] were required to provide adequate cardiac output in blood cardioplegia group suggested superior myocardial protective effect of blood cardioplegic solution.

Any theory of liquid should account for interactions between molecules, since molecules in a liquid are close to each other. For this matter statistical-mechanical methodology has been used and various models have been proposed on the basis of this methodology. Among them Kirkwood-Buff solution theory has attracted a lot of interest, because it is regarded as being the most powerful. In this article Kirkwood-Buff solution theory is revisited and its key equations are derived. On the way to these equations, the concepts of pair correlation function, radial distribution function, Kirkwood-Buff integration are explained and implemented. Since complexity of statical mechanics involved in this theory, the equations are applied to one-component systems and the results are compared to those obtained by classical thermodynamics. This may be a simple way for Kirkwood-Buff solution theory to be examined for its validity.

The initial radius of sphere decoder has great effect on the bit error rate performance and computational complexity. Until now, it has been determined either by considering the statistical property of channel or by using of MMSE solution. The initial radius obtained by using statistical property of channel includes the lattice point corresponding to the transmit signal vector with very high probability. The method using MMSE solution first calculates out the MMSE solution of the received signal, then maps the hard decision of this solution into the received signal space, and finally the distance between the mapped point and the received signal is selected as the initial radius of the sphere decoding. In this paper, we derive a simple equation for initial radius selection which uses statistical property of channel and compare it with the method using MMSE solution. To compare two methods we define new metric 'Tightness'. Through the simulation, we observe that in low and moderate SNR region, the method using MMSE solution provides more complexity reduction for decoding while in high SNR region, the method using channel statistics is better.

We consider a nonlinear autoregressive moving average model with nonlinear GARCH errors, and find sufficient conditions for the existence of a strictly stationary solution of three related time series equations. We also consider a geometric ergodicity and functional central limit theorem for a nonlinear autoregressive model with nonlinear ARCH errors. The given model includes broad classes of nonlinear models. New results are obtained, and known results are shown to emerge as special cases.

Genetic algorithm(GA) is applied for detecting multiple outliers. GA is a heuristic optimization tool solving for near optimal solution. We compare the performance of GA and the other diagnostic measures commonly used for detecting outliers in regression model. The results show that GA seems to have better performance than the others for the detection of multiple outliers.

It is well known that $L_2(m)$ type PBIB designs have the Property A, so they are BNAS PBIB designs. However, $L_3(m)$ type PBIB designs are not of type of Property A but do have the factorial structure (Cotter, John, and Smith(1973)). In this paper, the properties of the $L_3(m)$ type PBIB designs are investigated. Extended Property A and fractional BNAS are defined and a solution formula for the treatment effects in the $L_32(m)$ type designs is obtained.

In this paper, we investigate the limiting distribution of the Ljung-Box test statistic in the unit root AR models with ARCH errors. We show that the limiting distribution is approximately chi-square distribution with the degrees of freedom only depending on the number of autocorrelation lags appearing in the test. Some simulation results are provided for illustration.

Let us assume that two different log-linear models are selected by various model selection methods. When these are non-hierarchical it is not easy to choose one of these models. In this paper the well-known Cox's statistic is applied to compare these non-hierarchical log-linear models. Since it is impossible to obtain the analytic solution about the problem we proposed a alternative method by extending Pesaran and pesaran's (1993) simulation approach. We find that the values of proposed test statistic and the estimates are very much stable with some empirical results.

The proportional hazards model (PHM) can be associated with a non- homogeneous Markov chain (NHMC) in the sense that sample alignments in the PHM correspond to trajectories of the NHMC. As a result the partial likelihood widely used for the PHM is a probabilistic function of the trajectories of the NHMC. In this paper, we show that, as the total number of subjects involved increases, the trajectories of the NHMC, i.e. sample alignments in the PHM, converges to the solution of an ordinary differential equation which, subsequently, characterizes the almost sure limit of the partial likelihood.

The paper by Paik (1985) introduced a structural property of the designs which was related to the concordance matrix $NN^{t}$ of the design. This special property was termed Property-C. The designs which have Property-C need not calculation of the generalize inverse of C matrix for solution of reduced normal equation. Paik also mentioned that some block designs belong to Property-C. This paper show the Extended Group Divisible designs defined by Hinkelmann (1964) are included in Property-C.
