극심한 불황기에서 살아남기 위해서는 과거처럼 주먹구구식의 단순한 비용절감 노력만으로는 뜻을 이룰수 없다. 생존을 향한 마케팅 마인드로 무장하고, 변화하는 소비자에 적극적으로 대응할 수 있는 기업만이 살아 남을 수 있다. 생존 마케팅은 기본에 충실하는 마케팅, 최우선의 목표를 매출이 아니라 고객을 만드는 것으로 삼는 마케팅이다. 이것은 불황기에나 호황기에나 항상 시장에 생존하는 기본적인 마인드이다.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of treatment on stage III stomach cancer data obtained from the SEER program of the National Cancer Institute and to identify the significant risk factors for the survival rates of stage III stomach cancer. Since the proportional hazards assumption was violated for treatment, we used the restricted mean survival time as an alternative to the proportional hazards model. The restricted mean survival time was estimated using pseudo-observations, and the effects of treatment were compared using a test statistic based on the estimated restricted mean survival times. We conducted the regression analysis using a generalized linear model to investigate the significant predictors for the restricted mean survival time of patients with stage III stomach cancer. We found that there was a significant difference between the restricted mean survival times of treatment groups. Age at diagnosis, race, substage, grade, tumor size, surgery, and treatment were significant predictors for the restricted mean survival time of patients with stage III stomach cancer. Surgery was the most significant predictor for increasing the restricted mean survival time of patients with stage III stomach cancer.

The new stage of metastatic lung cancer based upon resectability, disease-free interval, and the number of pulmonary metastases was proposed in 1998 by Ginsberg, et al. We evaluated the validity of the new staging proposal for pulmonary metastases through the analysis of experiences at Severance Hospital. Material and Method: The cases of 111 patients who underwent resection of metastatic lung cancer during the eleven-year period (1990-2000) were reviewed. Of these patients, 103(92.8%) underwent compete surgical resection. The primary tumor was carcinoma in 60 cases, sarcoma in 46, and others in 5. The disease-free interval(DFI) was 0 to 35 months in 79 cases adn more than 36 months in 32 cases. Single metastasis accounted for 53 cases and multiple lesions for 58 cases. Mean follow-up was 49 months. Result: The actuarial survival after complete metastasectomy was 48.2% at 3 years and 32.6% at 5 years; the corresponding values for incomplete resection were 21.9% at 3 years. The 3-year survival rate(3-YSR) for complete resction was 40.5% and 5-year survival rate(5-YSR) was 30.4% for patients with a DFI less than 36 months, the 3-YSR, 75.8% and 5-YSR, 39.0% for those with a DFI equal or more than 36 moths; 45.8% and 30.5% for single lesions, 50.0% and 34.4% for multiple lesions. The 3-YSR and 5-YSR were 58.5% and 43.8% for stage I patients, 54.0% and 37.4% for stage II, 38.2% and 27.9% for stage III and 21.9% for stage IV. Conclusion: The result of the analysis of new stage of pulmonary metastases showed that the survival rate was different according to stage and there was no statistical significance. We need more experiences and long-term follow up to determine the prognostic factor of metastatic lung cancer surgery.

Sarcoma of the uterus is very rare malignant tumor originating from uterine muscle or connective tissue. We have experienced 20 cases of uterine sarcoma from January 1991 to June 1998. The results were as follows: 1. The pathologic types were 13 cases(65.0%) of leiomyosarcoma, 5 cases(25.0%) of malignant mixed Mullerian tumor, 1 case of rhabdomyosarcoma, and 1 case of angiosarcoma. 2. The average age and parity was 50.2 and 3.7. The chief complaints were irregular vaginal bleeding(35.0%), lower abdominal pain(25.0%), and abdominal mass(25.0%). 3. Nine cases(45.0%) were FIGO stage I, 1 case(5.0%) was stage II, 6 cases(30.0%) were stage III, and 4 cases(20.0%) were stage IV. 4. The survival was from 1.5 months to over 130 months(median 16.5 months), and there was no correlation between survival and FIGO stage or pathologic type. The correlation between survival and number of mitotic figure was incalcurable. 5. CA 125 levels were serially measured as a tumor marker in monitoring patients and the positive rate was 40%. Further study was needed to make a conclusion for usefulness of CA 125 as a tumor marker.

We herein analyze the survivability of an airborne platform when an active decoy delivers jamming attacks against an active RF seeker system that operates based on the proportional navigation guidance law. In encounter scenarios with various conditions, such as platform maneuvering, the decoy's RF specification, and the seeker's approaching range and angles, the missed distance of the RF seeker is evaluated. By comparing the missed distance with the proximity of the fuze range, the platform's survivability is determined and the survival area of the platform is drawn on several encounter scenarios.

Purpose: The prognosis of stage IV gastric cancer is poor with the 5-year survival rate still being about 10%. We investigated the prognostic factors of stage IV gastric cancer patients who underwent resection. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study of 383 patients with stage IV gastric cancer who underwent surgery in our department between September 1983 to December 2000 was conducted. We classified the 383 patients into two groups: patients surviving 2 years or more (n=77) and those surviving less than 2 years (n=306). Clinicopathologic differences were analyzed between the two groups. We also performed univariate and multivariate analyses of various clinicopathologic factors concerning survival. Results: Statistically significant clinicopathologic differences between the two groups were observed in regard to macroscopic type, distant metastasis, lymph node dissection, curability, and histology. Curability and histology were significant survival factors in 2-year survival. The 5-year survival rate was 5.4% in stage IV gastric cancer. Significant differences in survival among macroscopic type, distant metastasis, lymph node dissection, curability and histology were observed in the univariate analysis. In the Multivariate analysis, Curability, lymph node dissection, and histology were significantly beneficial factors for survival. Conclusion: Lymph node dissection, curability, and histology were independent prognostic factors in stage IV gastric cancer, and radical treatment is recommended to improve survival.

A large volume of hatching jar was tested whether it is an effective to hatch fertilized eggs of Pacific cod. The volume of hatching jar did not show any significant differences in survival of the fertilized eggs; 48.3% for the jar of 15 L and 50.4% for that of 42 L. Survival rate of the fertilized eggs in a large volume of hatching jar ranged from 40.0 to 71.2%, which was higher than those of conventional small circular tank. A higher survival could be achieved even though stocking density of fertilized eggs was as high as 5,000 mL/jar. Consequently, the tested hatching jar allowed for incubation of a greater number of eggs with higher survival rate in a much smaller space. In addition, it reduces costs and manpower, and requires a relatively small amount of water per individual unit (6,700 mL/min), and provides a way to incubate multiple rearing groups in a quarantine environment.

We consider simulation study combining static and mobile decoys for survivability of a surface warship against torpedo attack. It is assumed that an enemy torpedo is a passive acoustic homing torpedo and detects a target within its maximum target detection range and search beam angle by computing signal excess via passive sonar equation, and a warship conducts an evasive maneuvering with deploying static and mobile decoys simultaneously to counteract a torpedo attack. Suggesting the four different decoy deployment plans to achieve the best plan, we analyze an effectiveness for a warship's survival probability through Monte Carlo simulation, given a certain experimental environment. Furthermore, changing the speed and the source level of decoys, the maximum torpedo detection range of warship, and the maximum target detection range of torpedo, we observe the corresponding survival probabilities, which can provide the operational capabilities of an underwater defense system.

In this paper, we present a new survivor path memory management method and a dedicated hardware architecture for the design of high-speed Viterbi decoders in modern digital communication systems. In the proposed method, a novel use of k-starting node number deciding circuits enables to acheive the immediate traceback of the merged survivor path from which we can decode output bits, and results in smaller survivor path memory size and processing delay time than the previously known methods. Also, in the proposed method, the survivor path memory can be constructed with ease using a simple standard dual-ported memory since one read-pointer and one write-pointer, that are updated at the same rate, are required for managing the survivor path: the previously known algorithms require either complex k-ported memory structure or k-times faster read capability than write. With a moderate hardware cost for immediate traceback capability the proposed method is superior to the previously known methods for high-speed Viterbi decoding.
