Main monthly household surveys conducted by Korea National Statistical Office are economically active population survey(EAPS) and household income and expenditure survey(HIES). Samples of these two surveys are redesigned every 5 years based on Census. This paper is about sample redesign of household survey conducted in 2002 based on 2000 Census. Main improvements of 2002 sample redesign are the introduction of rotation sampling system, the expansion of HIES survey area from urban to whole country and the foundation of basement to make small area estimation for the unemployment statistics. Also the number of sample households within a enumeration district(ED) is reduced from 24 to 20. That makes it possible to select more ED samples which provides better precision for EAPS and HIES. To select representative samples for the population, different classification index is used for each metropolitan area and provinces.

The multiuser detection (MUD) based wireless receiver requires more accurate channel estimation than the single user detection (SUD) schemes such as Rake receiver, and hence the post processing is required for MUD to clean up the estimated channel coefficients by eliminating the noise only coefficients. The adaptive post processing method is proposed in order to provide more accurate channel responses and the power level of the background noise and interferences at the cost of the negligible processing delay compared to the conventional method based on the threshold test with the threshold value relative to the noise variance. The simulations are performed in 3GPP-TDD mode environment. The results show that the noise estimation error of the proposed method is maximum $10\%$, which is much smaller than $50\%$ maximum error of the conventional method.

This paper addresses an image processing technique for the human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA chip to discriminate whether the probes are hybridized with the target DNA. HPV DNA chip is designed to determine HPV gene-types by using DNA probes for 22 HPV types. In addition to the probes, the HPV DNA chip has markers that always react with the sample DNA. The positions of probe-dots in the final scanned image are fixed relative to the marker- dot locations with a small variation attributable to the accuracy of the dotter and the scanner. The probes are quadruplicated to enhance diagnostic fidelity. frier knowledge including the marker relative distance and the replication information of probes is integrated into the template matching technique with normalized covariance measure. It was demonstrated that the employment of both of the prior knowledges can be accomplished by simply averaging the template matching measures over the positions of the markers and probes. The resulting proposed scheme yields stable marker locating and probe classification.

In this study, in order to develop evaluation method of the cleaning efficiency of residual flux which remains on the surface after soldering with solder paste, a specially designed metal tool is used to reduce spread uncertainty of flux while soldering. Using this tool, the measurement of cleaning efficiency of flux after soldering for some typical alternative semi-aqueous cleaners and 1,1,1-TCE by weighing method was conducted. As the test result of cleaning efficiency for each cleaner at several different cleaning times, the precision of the data is confirmed to within about 4% relative standard deviation (RSD) range. So, it is considered that this would be a good evaluation method for evaluating the cleaning efficiency of the residual flux which remains after solder paste soldering in the alternative cleaning. The results of this test method shows that the cleaning efficiency of ST 100SX and Neozal 750H in the cleaning of residual flux was better than other semi-aqueous cleaners, but its cleaning efficiency was clearly inferior to 1,1,1-TCE.

In liquid rocket engine turbopump, it is difficult to evaluate turbine performance for high pressure, high temperature circumstance. Turbine test is often done by using air at similarity condition so that the turbine can be tested at lower risk. This paper describes an air similarity test program of liquid rocket engine turbopump turbine. A test facility has been built to evaluate aerodynamic performance of turbines. The test facility consists of high pressure air supply system, mass flow rate measuring nozzle, test section, hydraulic break, exit orifice for pressure control, instrumentation and control system. This paper also presents how to decide the similarity conditions of the turbine test and describes how to control test conditions. Relative standard deviation of measurement parameter was less than 1% and measured turbine efficiency corresponded with analysis result within 2%.

Population dynamics and sexual maturity of Neomysis japonica (Ishikawa and Oshima, 1951) were investigated from a shrimp farm in Tae-an, Korea. N. japonica was collected monthly at the shrimp farm belonging to the Marine and Fisheries Research Institute, the Soonchunhyang University from October 2002 to September 2003. The proportion of female was higher than that of male. The mean carapace length of male (2.42 mm) was larger than that of female (2.31 mm). Brood size increased with increasing female body size. The size of N. japonica at 50% sexual maturity was approximately 4.4 mm. N. japonica females grew faster and reached larger size than males. The mortality rate (z) calculated by length-converted catch curves was $3.46\;yr^{-1}$. The annual recruitment pattern of N. japonica had two major peaks. Log-transformed total length was significantly related with log-transformed carapace length.

In this paper, we conduct an objective performance analysis of the crosstalk cancellation scheme studied in [11]. While the conventional scheme is only applicable to a listener on the optimal listenable region (sweetspot), the space skew/crosstalk cancellation (SS/CC) scheme in [11] can mitigate crosstalk regardless of the listener's position by using listener position tracking (LPT) system. The SS/CC scheme is composed of two parts: LPT-based SS and CC parts. In this paper, the SS/CC scheme is evaluated by some criteria such as follows: condition number, and the balance characteristic, its root mean square error, and running average.

Accurate radiation dosimetric characters is very important to determine of dose to a radiotherapeutic patient. Medical linear accelerators have been developed not only its new quality of convenient operation but also electric moderation. It is reliable to measure more detail physical parameter that linac's internal ability. Typically, radiation dosimetric tool is classified ionization chamber, film, thermoluminescence dosimeter, etc. Nowaday, Electronic Portal Imaging Device is smeared in radiation field to verification of treatment region. EPID's image was focused that using both on-line image verification and absolutely minimum absorbed dose during radiotherapy. So, Electronic Portal Imaging was tested for quality evaluation of medical linear accelerator had its pure conditional flash. This study has performed symmetry, Light/Radiation field congruence, and energy check, geometry difference on wedge filter using a liquid filled ion chamber (EPID). Prior to irradiated on EPID, high energy photon beam is checked with ion chamber. Using these results more convenient dosimetric method is accomplished by EPID that taken digital image. Medical image is acquired with EPID too. Therefore, EPID can be analyzed by numerical information for what want to see or get more knowledge for natural human condition.

Liquid chromatographic behavior of several metal ions in dithiocarbamate(DTC) chelates were investigated by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography on Novapak $C_{18}$ and ${\mu}$-Bondapak $C_{18}$ columns. The optimum conditions for the separation of DTC-metal chelate were examined with respect to the pH, shaking time, flow rate, extraction solvent, and mobile phase strength. The metal ions in mixtures at trace level, chelated with some dithiocarbamate derivatives were separated successfully on Novapak $C_{18}$ column using acetonitrile/methanol/water or acetonitril/water mixtures as mobile phases. It was found that all DTC metal chelates studied were eluted in an acceptable range of capacity factor values ($0{\leqq}log\;k'{\leqq}1$). Although several foreign metal ions were coexisted, high recovery and good precision were attained ; 97.0-106.7 % for the recovery and 0.98-3.41% for the coefficient of variation. Under the optimum analytical conditions, trace metal ions in the composite water samples were determined sucessfully with in relative error of about {\pm}$6.7 %.

Generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) is frequently applied in hydrologic extreme value analysis. The main objective of statistics of extremes is the prediction of rare events, and the primary problem has been the estimation of the threshold and the exceedances which were difficult without an accurate method of calculation. In this paper, to obtain the threshold or the exceedances, four methods were considered. For this comparison a GPD model was used to estimate parameters and quantiles for the seven durations (1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours) and the ten return periods (2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 70, 80 and 100 years). The parameters and quantiles of the three-parameter generalized Pareto distribution were estimated with three methods (MOM, ML and PWM). To estimate the degree of fit, three methods (K-S, CVM and A-D test) were performed and the relative root mean squared error (RRMSE) was calculated for a Monte Carlo generated sample. Then the performance of these methods were compared with the objective of identifying the best method from their number.
