Two-stage sampling allows us to estimate population characteristics by both unit and cluster level together. Given a complex auxiliary information, integrated calibration weighting would better reflect the level-wise characteristics as well as multivariate characteristics between levels. This paper explored the integrated calibration weighting methods by Estevao and Särndal (2006) and Kim (2019) through a simulation study, where the efficiency of those weighting methods was compared using an artificial population data. Two weighting methods among others are shown efficient: single step calibration at the unit level with stacked individualized auxiliary information and iterative integrated calibration at each level. Under both methods, cluster calibrated weights are defined as the average of the calibrated weights of the unit(s) within cluster. Both were very good in terms of the goodness-of-fit of estimating the population totals of mutual auxiliary information between clusters and units, and showed small relative bias and relative mean square root errors for estimating the population totals of survey variables that are not included in calibration adjustments.

Clinically isolated Salmonella Enteritidis strain has a multi drug resistance plasmid, which confers ampicillin, chloramphe-nicol, sulfonamide, streptomycin and tetracycline, named pCAST2. We cloned a 7 kb Sacl fragment of pCAST2 which has sulfonamide, streptomycin and tetracycline resistance genes. The 7 kb SacI fragment showed the organization of sulII-strA-strB-tetR-tetA gene cluster which is different from the other clusters reported previously. In this study, we presented the method to detect this cluster by PCR analysis and showed that this cluster was found in Salmonella strains occurred sporadically at Kyungpook province in 2002.

In PPS sampling, measure of size(MOS) is used to determine the probability of selection of sampling unit. However, some large scale surveys conducted in NSO(National Statistical Office) showed that the sampling units have the similar MOS. In such case, simple cluster sampling method instead of PPS sampling is recommended to give the interviewers a similar work load. In this paper, MSE and CV of the above two sampling methods applied to the 1997 Economically Active Population Survey sample design are compared.

본 연구는 임상형 및 준임상형 유방염에 이환된 젖소의 유즙에서 분리된 24주의 황색포도상구균에 대한 capsular polysaccharide(CP)형을 확인하고, 1% 토끼 혈청이 함유된 serum-soft agar 배지에서 집락의 모양을 관찰하였다. 또한 동물에 따라 우세한 CP형의 차이가 있는지를 비교하고자 개에서 분리된 13주에 대하여 동일한 실험을 수행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 집락모양을 관찰한 결과 젖소 유래 24주 중 16주(66.7%)는 diffuse, 5주(20.8%)는 compact, 나머지 3주(12.5%)는 분류가 불가능(indeterminate)하였다. CP형 확인결과 9주(37.5%)는 type 5, 2주(8.3%)는 type 8, 13주(54.2%)는 분류가 불가능(non-typeable)하였다. 한편, 개에서 분리된 균주 중 1주(type 8)를 제외한 12주(92.3%)는 type 5로 분류되었으며, 13주 중 8주(61.5%)가 diffuse형의 집락을 보였다. 본 실험에 사용한 균주의 수가 충분하지 못한 문제가 있지만 동물에 따라 우세한 CP형이 다를 수 있으며 분류 불가능한 균주가 상대적으로 높은 비율을 차지하였는데 이는 새로운 CP형의 분류형이 필요함을 시사하는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 type 5와 type 8만을 포함한 유방염 백신은 한계가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In the ubiquitous environment, there has been a problem of transmitting data from various sensors at a long distance. Especially, in the process of integrating data arriving at different locations, data having different property values of data or having some loss in data had to be processed. This paper present a method to analyze such data. The core of this method is to define an objective function suitable for the problem and to develop an algorithm that can optimize this objective function. The objective function is used by modifying the OCS function. MFA (Mean Field Annealing), which was able to process only binary data, is extended to be applicable to fields with continuous values. It is called CMFA and used as an optimization algorithm.

Although Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strains remain responsible for the majority of diseases caused by mycobacterial infections worldwide, the increase in HIV (human immuno deficiency virus) infections has allowed for the emergence of other non-tuberculous mycobacteria as clinically significant pathogens. M. tuberculosis was detected by two-tube nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and non-tuberculous mycobacteria was detected by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) with Msp I. Result of niacin test is equal to result of two-tube nested PCR after culture for M. tuberculosis. In this study, acid fast bacilli stain (AFB. stain) >2+ case, Detection of Mycobacteria is similar to result before culture and after culture. AFB. stain <1+ case, result of mycobacteria is distinguished. Conclusionly, these results suggest that identification of mycobacteria must go side by side both culture and PCR for more fast and accuracy.

Colonial morphology of the various yeasts grown on the yeast morphology agar me­dium containing orange-yellow pigments extracted from the fruits of Gardenia jasminoides (GJPM) was investigated in hopes of the differential identification of yeasts on primary cultures. Colonies of Candida lusitaniae and Ca. guilliermondii on GJPM turned to prussian blue within three days of incubation and Ca. tropicalis and Ca. viswanathii turned to bluish gray but the latter species turned to deep blue after 7 days. Ca. krusei, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Torulopsis glabrata showed neutral gray, grayish green, and baby blue respectively after one or two weeks. However, the colonies of Ca. albicans and parapsilosis remained unchanged even after 20 days. Colonial color of Cryptococ­cus neoformans showing brown to purple brown was distinguishable not only from buff color of Cr. laurentii after one or two weeks incubation but also from those of Candida spp. Growth of certain species was promoted on GJPM. The findings clearly showed that Ga. jasminoides pigments medium was useful to the morphological differentiation of medically important yeasts which were often encountered in sputum or other clinical specimens.
