Extramedullary plasmacytoma(EMP) is a rare tumor that originates as a clone of malignant transformed plasma cells. EMPs make up 4% of all plasma cell tumors and 90% of EMP cases occur in the head and neck area. The diagnosis of EMP is based on the morphologic and immunophenotypical finding of a localized collection of monoclonal plasma cells in the absence of plasma cell proliferation elsewhere. Patients with EMP can be treated by surgery or radiotherapy alone or in combination. EMP has good prognosis but long-term follow-up is critical because local recurrence or systemic progression to multiple myeloma may develop more than 30 years after the initial diagnosis of EMP. We report a case of EMP in palatine tonsil of 21-year old man who was treated successfully by radiotherapy alone.

In this paper, we try to improve the accuracy of automatic measurement for analysis equipment by detecting efficiently the edge of a waterdrop with transparency. In order to detect the edge of a waterdrop with transparency, we use an edge detecting technique, MADD (Modified Adaptive Directional Derivative), which can identify the ramp edges with various widths as the perfectly sharp edges and respond effectively regardless of enlarging or reducing the image. The proposed edge detecting technique by means of perfect sharpening of ramp edges employs the modified adaptive directional derivatives instead of the usual local differential operators in order to detect the edges of image. The modified adaptive directional derivatives are defined by introducing the perfect sharpening map into the adaptive directional derivatives. Finally we apply the proposed method to contact angle arithmetic and show the effiency and validity of the proposed method.

The eigenvalue problem is presented for the building with added viscoelastic dampers by using component mode method. The Lagrange multiplier formulation is used to derive the eigenvalue problem which is expressed with the natural frequencies of the building, the mode components at which the dampers are added, and the viscoelastic property of the damper. The derived eigenvalue problem has a nonstandard form for determining the eigenvalues. Therefore, the problem is examined by the graphical depiction to give new insight into the eigenvalues for the building with added viscoelastic dampers. Using the present approach the exact eigenvalues can be found and also upper and lower bounds of the eigenvalues can be obtained.

This paper introduces multifractal processes and presents the empirical investigation of the multifractal asset pricing. The multifractal stock price process contains long-tails which focus on Levy-Stable distributions. The process also contains long-dependence, which is the characteristic feature of fractional Brownian motion. Multifractality introduces a new source of heterogeneity through time-varying local reqularity in the price path. This paper investigates multifractality in stock prices. After finding evidence of multifractal scaling, the multifractal spectrum is estimated via the Legendre transform. The distinguishing feature of the multifractal process is multiscaling of the return distribution's moments under time-resealing. More intensive study is required of estimation techniques and inference procedures.

The purpose of this study is to explore a teaching method of limits of functions with more intuitive and visual of CAS graphing calculators rather than with the rigorous ${\epsilon}-{\delta}$ method. Texas Instruments Voyage200 CAS graphing calculators are used for studying the possibility of the use of technology in calculus course. For this, various related theoretical constructs are reviewed: concept image, concept definition, cognitive conflict, the use of visualization of technology for calculus concepts, the theory of APOS, and local straightness. Based on such theoretical constructs this study suggests a teaching method of limits of functions with embodied visualization of CAS graphing calculators.

The quality of the camera image is worse than that of the scanner image because of lighting variation and inaccurate focus. This paper proposes a binarization method for camera-based document recognition, which is tolerant to low-quality camera images. Based on an existing method reported to be effective in previous evaluations, we enhanced the adaptability to the image with a low contrast due to low intensity and inaccurate focus. Furthermore, applying an additional small-size window in the binarization process, it is effective to extract the fine detail of character structure, which is often degraded by conventional methods. In experiments, we applied the proposed method as well as other methods to a document recognizer and compared the performance for many cm images. The result showed the proposed method is effective for recognition of document images captured by the camera.

In this study, surface characteristics and corrosion behaviors have been investigated in addition to Zr elements on the low elastic modulus Ti-30Ta alloy. Low elastic modulus Ti-30Ta-xZr(x : 3, 7 and 15 wt %) alloys were prepared by arc melting and then heat treated at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 24 hrs in an argon atmosphere. Microstructures of the alloys were examined by field emission scanning electron microscope(FE-SEM) and X-ray diffractometer(XRD). Electrochemical experiments were performed using a conventional three-electrode configuration with a sample working electrode, a high density carbon counter electrode and a saturated calomel reference electrode. According to the result of polarization behavior in the Ti-30Ta-xZr alloys, the current density of homogenized Ti-30Ta-15Zr in the passive region was lower than the other alloys.

Optical investigation on Zn-doped InGaN grown by MOCVD was performed by using the photoluminescence. Two different spectra related to Zn-acceptor-like centers occurred at room temperature, with broad emissions peaking at 2.81, and 2.60 eV, Specially, emissions interacted with phonon were observed at 2.81 eV where phonon energy was 92.5 meV From temperature dependent blue-band emissions of InGaN, we observe that the intensity in high energy region was quickly decreased more than that in low energy region with increased temperature, and the peak position at 2.81 eV was blue shift of about 18 meV, The blue-band emmissions would be originated from the transition related to the localized Zn complex centers.

ZnS:Cu,Cl 형광체의 여기 및 발광 스펙트럼 측정 결과 주게인 $Cl^-$ 이온과 받게인 $Cu^+$ 이온 사이의 흡수와 발광에 기인하는 peak과 국소화된 발광 중심인 $(CU_2)^{2+}$ 이온의 흡수와 발광에 기인하는 peak이 관측되었다. CuCl의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 $Cu^+$ 이온의 농도가 증가하게 되어 $(Cu_2)^{2+}$ 이온에 기안하는 발광으로부터 공명 에너지 전달 (Resonant Energy Transfer)의 확률이 높아지기 때문에 513 nm를 중심으로 하는 발광의 세기가 증가하게 된다. 자체 제작한 ZnS:Cu,Cl 형광체를 이용하여 제작한 소자의 휘도 측정결과 400 Hz, 100 V 에서 CuCl 의 첨가량이 0.2 mole% 일 때 휘도가 최대였고, 진동수가 증가함에 따라 휘도가 포화되는 현상이 나타났다. CuCl의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 513 nm를 중심으로 하는 발광이 강해지고 CIE 좌표값이 녹색영역으로 이동하게 된다. 진동수가 증가하면 인가된 전압의 유지 시간이 짧아지게 되어 발광의 감쇄시간이 긴 513 nm를 중심으로 하는 발광보다 감쇄시간이 짧은 458 nm를 중심으로 하는 발광이 강해지게 되고, CIE 좌표값이 청색영역으로 이동하게 된다.

Modeling financial phenomena with diffusion processes is a commonly used methodology in the area of modern finance. Recently, various types of diffusion models have been suggested to explain the specific financial processes, and their related inference methodology have been also developed. In particular, likelihood methods for the efficient and accurate inference have been explored in various ways. In this paper, we review the mathematical properties of an approximated likelihood method, which is obtained by linearizing the drift coefficient of a diffusion process.
