In the analysis of competing risks data, some of covariates may not be fully observed for some subjects. In such cases, excluding subjects with missing covariate values from the analysis may result in biased estimates and loss of efficiency. In this paper, we studied multiple imputation and the augmented inverse probability weighting method for regression parameter estimation in the cause-specific proportional hazards model with missing covariates. The performance of estimators obtained from multiple imputation and the augmented inverse probability weighting method is evaluated by simulation studies, which show that those methods perform well. Multiple imputation and the augmented inverse probability weighting method were applied to investigate significant risk factors for the risk of death from breast cancer and from other causes for breast cancer data with missing values for tumor size obtained from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screen Trial Study. Under the cause-specific proportional hazards model, the methods show that race, marital status, stage, grade, and tumor size are significant risk factors for breast cancer mortality, and stage has the greatest effect on increasing the risk of breast cancer death. Age at diagnosis and tumor size have significant effects on increasing the risk of other-cause death.

In this paper, the low pass filter with harmonics suppression and rejection using parallel coupled-line and radial type open stub is presented. And the resultant characteristic of the proposed low pass filter is that the harmonics are suppressed and rejected in wide bandwidth due to the parallel coupled-line structure. The open stub of a low pass filter is constructed in radial type which can be used to adjust the size of filter. The size of the proposed low pass filter is $6.98{\times}7.60mm2$ and the cut off frequency is 2.45 GHz. And the filter is economical in unit cost and can be constructed easily and has the merit of mass product because the filter is composed of distributed element. Also, the widely rejected harmonics is 128 % in the bandwidth and the insertion and return losses of the low pass filter are 1.07 dB and 19.5 dB, respectively.

In this paper, the reduced size of broad bandpass filter with parallel coupled line structure is presented. This proposed filter can control bandwidth of narrow to broadband by adjusting the coupling coefficient. The conventional filter is operated with a narrow band. If a higher bandwidth is desired than the conventional narrow bandwidth, it is hard to realize due to the coupling coefficient between feeding line and resonator. In this paper, to overcome this limitation, a proposed bandpass filter is designed with reduced size due to SIR(Stepped Impedance Resonator) and multi-grade type structures than conventional one, and it has characteristics of adjusting bandwidth freely as per quantity of coupling coefficient. The proposed bandpass filter that, experimental results of insertion and return losses are 0.42 dB and 20.9 dB with bandwidth of 60 % at the center frequency of 5.8 GHz, respectively.

2중곡면 반파공의 월파 특성을 검토하기 위하여 입사파고 및 주기가 각각 다른 불규칙파를 대상으로 수리실험을 실시하였으며, 2중곡면 반파공과 직립형 구조물에 대해 동일한 조건으로 실험하여 이를 명확히 하였다. 특히 2중곡면 상부의 곡률반경에 따라 외해측으로 되돌리는 파랑의 비말효과에서 큰 차이가 있을 것에 착안하여 상부곡면부의 곡률반경이 증가한 정상 2중곡면 반파공(FSW)과 상부곡면부의 곡률반경이 감소한 역 2중곡면 반파공(IFSW)에 대해 실험을 수행하였다. 그리고 2중곡면 원호 크기의 비 B/D=0, 20%, 40%, 60% 및 80%인 경우에 대해서도 월파특성을 비교 검토하여 다음과 같은 결론를 얻었다. 1. 2중곡면 원호 크기의 비 B/D가 증가할수록 월파저지 효과가 개선됨을 확인 하였으며 최대 B/D가 0.8인 경우 0.2에 비해 50% 이상 월파유량이 감소하여 B/D의 변동에 따른 월파저지특성을 확인하였다. 2. 역2중곡면 반파공(IFSW)의 실험결과 기존 정상2중곡면 반파공(FSW)에 비하여 20%이상 월파량이 감소하고 있음을 알 수 있었으며 이는 2중곡면 상부측의 곡률 반경이 증가함에 따른 기하학적 특성에 의해 외해측으로의 되돌림 파랑(수괴)이 증가한 것으로 판단된다. 3. 동일한 마루높이에 대해 직립형 호안에 의한 월파량 비교결과 역 2중곡면 반파공(IFSW)의 경우 최대 80%이상의 월파량 저감 효과가 나타나는 것으로 검토되었다. 4. 월파저지의 측면에서 2중 곡면공에 비해 역2중 곡면공이 우수한 것으로 예측되었으나 2중곡면 반파공의 소파원리가 반파공의 원호내에서 쇄파를 야기하여 파에너지를 소멸하는 것이므로 쇄파를 유도하는 과정에서 충격쇄파압의 발생이 예측되는 바 이에 대한 계속적인 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, the frontal method based elastic-plastic F.E.M. program for mini-computer was developed. Since, the executable source program size was restricted by the system core memory size on the mini-computer, the active variables were memorized by the element base and the nonactive varables were memorized to the external disc file. The active variables of the finally developed program were reduced enough to execute about 1,000 freedom finite element on the mini-computer on which available variables were restricted as 32,767 integers. A modified CT fracture test specimen was examined to test the developed program. The calculated results were compared with experimental results concerning on the crack tip plastic deformation zone. Recrystallization technique was adopted to visualize the intensive plastic deformation regions. The Von-Mises criterion based calculation results were well agreed with the experimental results in the intensive plastic region which was over than 2% offset strain. The F.E.M. results using the developed program were well agreed with the theoritical plastic boundary which was calculated by the stress intensity factor as r$_{p}$=(K$_{1}$$^{2}$/2.pi..sigma.$_{y}$$^{2}$).f(.theta.).).).

Mudholkar and Tian (2002) proposed an entropy-based test of fit for the inverse Gaussian distribution; however, the test can be applied to only the composite hypothesis of the inverse Gaussian distribution with an unknown location parameter. In this paper, we propose an entropy-based goodness-of-fit test for an inverse Gaussian distribution that can be applied to the composite hypothesis of the inverse Gaussian distribution as well as the simple hypothesis of the inverse Gaussian distribution with a specified location parameter. The proposed test is based on the probability integration transformation. The critical values of the test statistic estimated by simulations are presented in a tabular form. A simulation study is performed to compare the proposed test under some selected alternatives with Mudholkar and Tian (2002)'s test in terms of power. The results show that the proposed test has better power than the previous entropy-based test.

Bedrock is inhomogeneous for its genetically diverse origins and geological conditions when it forms, and especially, conglomerates and core-stones are one of these typical composite geo-materials composed of weak matrixes and strong pebbles. Mechanical properties of these composite bedrocks, like a conglomerate, generally vary depending on the mechanical properties and distributions of pebbles and the matrix. Therefore, regarding the consequence of understanding mechanical property of bedrocks in the designing slopes, tunnels, and other engineering facilities, empirical rock classification methods generally applied in the mechanical property modeling may not be suitable and rather, we may need some other classification methods, or tests more specific for these inhomogeneous composite bedrocks. This study includes a series of analyses to see elastic behaviors and modulus of composite geo-materials using homogenization theory. Forty nine case models were made for the elastic analysis with considering 5 factors such as gravel content, gravel size, strength of matrix, sorting and dip angle. The results analyzed are applicable to calculate elastic modulus of composite geo-materials as conglomerates and core-stones.

음성 신호는 시간에 따라 변하지만 일정 구간에서는 특성이 변하지 않는다고 가정하여 윈도우를 취해 단구간 분석을 한다. 이 때 윈도우의 적용은 필수적이다. 하지만 단구간 분석을 위해서 사용되는 윈도우에 의해 생기는 누설에너지 때문에 음성신호의 스펙트럼 정보가 왜곡되어 버린다. 본 논문에서는 스펙트럼 분석 시 발생되는 누설에너지를 최소화하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 음성신호에 고정된 크기의 rectangular Window를 취한 후 처음 샘플과 차이가 가장 작은 샘플을 프레임 크기의 3/4인 지점에서부터 검색하여 최소인 부분까지 시간 축 스케일링을 한 후 기존의 윈도우 크기와 같은 크기로 만든다. interpolation과 decimation을 조합하여 시간 축 스케일링을 한다. 이렇게 윈도우가 적용된 신호를 처리 후 위의 역 과정을 수행한다. 제안한 윈도우의 SNRseg는 rectangular window보다 평균 7.88dB 낮고, kaiser window보다 평균 1.65dB 높았다. 또한 제안한 윈도우의 SD는 rectangular window 보다 평균 $1.73dB^\2$ 낮았다.
