We consider sample-size determination problem motivated by comparative clinical trials where patient outcomes are characterized by a bivariate outcome of efficacy and safety. Thall and Cheng (1999) presented a sample size methodology for the case of bivariate binary outcomes. We propose a bivariate Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney(WMW) statistics for sample-size determination for binary outcomes, and this nonparametric method can be equally used to determine sample sizes of ordinal outcomes. The two methods of sample size determination rely on the same testing strategy for the target parameters but differs in the test statistics, an asymptotic bivariate normal statistic of the transformed proportions in Thall and Cheng (1999) and nonparametric bivariate WMW statistic in the other method. Sample sizes are calculated for the two experimental oncology trials, described in Thall and Cheng (1999), and for the first trial example the sample sizes of a bivariate WMW statistic are smaller than those of Thall and Cheng (1999), while for the second trial example the reverse is true.

목적 : 본 연구는 척수손상환자들 중 신체활동 정도가 급격하게 차이 나는 운동 선수군과 비선수군의 일상생활동작과 골밀도를 비교 분석하는데 그 목적이 있다. 방법 : 본 연구를 위해 20명(선수 10명, 비선수 10명)의 SCI 환자가 실험에 참가하였다. 골밀도 측정을 위해 이중에너지 방사선골밀도 측정기(Lunar Prodigy, GE Healthcare. England)를 이용하여 종골부위(calcaneus)의 골밀도를 측정하였다. 척수손상환자의 일상 생활 기능을 측정하기 위해 자조관리(self care), 호흡과 괄약근 조절 (respiration and sphincter management task), 이동(transfer)의 세 영역으로 나누어진 SCIM II(Spinal Cord Injury Measurement II)을 이용하였다. 척수손상환자들 중 운동 선수군과 비운동 선수군의 일상생활 동작과 골밀도를 비교 하기 위해 SPSS 14.0 통계 프로그램의 independent t-test를 이용하여 통계분석을 실시하였고 일상생활 동작과 골밀도의 상관관계는 Pearson correlation을 실시하였다. 유의수준은 ${\alpha}$=.05로 통계처리 하였다. 결과 : 검사 결과 선수군이 비선수군보다 통계적으로 유의하게 큰 SCIM 점수와 T-score를 보여주었다. 결론 : 일상생활동작을 측정하기 위하여 SCIM II(SpinalCordIndependenceMeasureII) 척도를 사용하였는데 선수군이 비선수군에 비해 유의하게 높은 SCIM II 총점을 나타내어 운동을 통한 훈련이 척수손상환자의 기능적 활동을 향상시킬 수 있다고 사료된다. 그리고 골밀도 측정 결과 선수군이 비선수군에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 골밀도를 나타내었다. 이 역시 강도 높은 훈련이 척수손상환자에게 나타날 수 있는 신체구성을 강화시켜줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 운동을 통한 재활 중에서 그 강도가 높을수록 신체의 구성적, 기능적 측면 뿐 아니라 신경의 가소성 측면에서도 증가를 기대해 볼 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

A hybrid part-of-speech tagging approaches may be robust, easily extendable, and accurate because they can have the advantages of both statistical approach and rule-based approach. But conventional hybrid part-of-speech tagging systems hardly resolve some morphological ambiguities which can't be resolved by statistical information. It is because the coverage of rules is narrow. So, we define disambiguation rules for individual ambiguous word based on syntax and semantics of surround words. We select words from which the top 50% of ambiguities are occurred in Sejong corpus and build 1,814 rules for them. The accuracy of our hybrid part-of-speech tagging system using those rules is 98.28%.

The research has been carried out to examine how sensory processing ability of children of multicultural families in farming areas can affect their social maturity. Short sensory profile and social maturity scale were conducted to fifty four children of multinational parents who live in Gyeongsangbuk-do and Jeollanam-do. The data were analysed by statistics process. The result of the analysis revealed three findings. Firstly, there exieted certain delays in sensory processing ability and social maturity. Multicultural children had an average point of $154.33{\pm}21.24$ regarding sensory processing ability and with regards to social age and social quotient of social maturity of them were 1.76 year old and $91.28{\pm}18.31$ point respectively. Another interesting finding is that significant differences of the influence, in which sensory processing ability of the example group affected social maturity, were found in categories of movement sensitivity, underresponsive/seeks sensation and low energy/weak of social age part(p<0.05). There were significant differences between auditory filtering as well as movement sensitivity, underresponsive sensation and low energy/weak of social quotient area(p<0.05). Finally, variables of the impact on social maturity of the group of children were analysed to examine to what extent sensory processing ability of the children had affected and the influencing rate of social age and social quotient of social maturity, with 45.3% and 66.3% respectively.

Magnesium hydroxide, which recently registered as a Mg fertilizer, is greatly different from magnesium sulfate in its solubility and effect on soil pH. In this study, the effects of magnesium hydroxide and magnesium sulfate on growth of chinese cabbage were compared at the application rate of $300kg\;MgO\;ha^{-1}$ in a Gyeongsan clay loam soil. Although magnesium hydroxide was effective in increasing number of leaf and fresh weight, overall effects of magnesium hydroxide and magnesium sulfate on the growth of chinese cabbage were not significantly different ($p{\leq}0.05$). Comparing the two magnesium fertilizer treatments, magnesium content of chinese cabbage was relatively higher in the magnesium sulfate treatment in the early stage of growth, but it was higher in the magnesium hydroxide treatment at harvest. Contents of Ca, P, and K in chinese cabbage were relatively higher in the magnesium hydroxide treatment than those in magnesium sulfate treatment. But, the differences in nutrient uptakes by chinese cabbage between the treatments were not significant ($p{\leq}0.05$). Therefore, magnesium hydroxide is expected to be used with nearly the same effects on crops as magnesium sulfate at the same application rate of Mg. Soil pH in the treatment of magnesium sulfate was lower than that of control treatment, but magnesium hydroxide could increase pH. Magnesium hydroxide can be used preferentially in acid and/or sandy soils, where magnesium sulfate can induce further soil acidification and leaching loss of Mg is often a severe problem.

To establish the soil management system for the efficient sod production, survey on the growth of zoysiagrass by different soil managements was conducted in repeated cultivation field with regard to soil physical properties. Soils were subjected to four types of management methods, which include (1) rolling (2) topdressing (3) topdressing + rolling (4) topdressing + tillage + rolling. The topdressing + tillage + rolling treatment significantly ameliorated soil physical properties such as bulk density, porosity and solid phase as compared to rolling and topdressing + rolling treatments, and was not significantly different from the topdressing treatment. Further growth and density of zoysiagrass except for the root dry weight in topdressing + tillage + rolling treatment were significantly higher than that only in rolling treatment. Topdressing + tillage + rolling treatment significantly increased the number of shoot as compared to the other treatments. Therefore, combined topdressing and tillage soil management practice should be conducted for the production of zoysiagrass in repeated cultivation field.

The purpose of this study is to find the suitable putting green maintenance equipment for improving the quality of putting green. This study was carried out to investigate the green speed(i.e., ball roll distance) by different the types of greens mower(between work-behind greens mower and riding greens mower), the types of reel blades(between 9 blades and II blades) and the types of roller(between riding soil sprayer and lightweight roller). Green speed of golf course putting greens is assessed by use of Stimpmeter. The west course of Lakeside Country Club was selected for the case study. The results are summarized as follows; 1. The green speed was faster in 3.8 mm moving height treatment plot using work-behind greens mower than in 3.8 mm moving height treatment plot using riding greens mower right after the moving and even after eight hours had passed, and it was statistically significant at a 95% confidence level. Therefore, work-behind greens mower was judged to be a proper equipment type for the fast green management practice than riding greens mower. 2. The green speed was faster in 3.2 mm mowing height treatment plot using work-behind greens mower equipped with II blades than in 3.2 mm mowing height treatment plot using work-behind greens mower equipped with 9 blades, and this result was statistically significant at a 95% confidence level. Therefore, II-blade was judged to be a proper blade type for the fast green management practice than 9-blade. 3. The difference in green speed (green speed increased after rolling) between a treatment plot mowed at 3.0 mm mowing height with the work-behind greens mower and then rolled a single time with riding soil sprayer and a treatment plot mowed at 3.0 mm mowing height with the work-behind greens mower and then rolled once with lightweight roller was not statistically significant at a 95% confidence level. However, the difference in green speed (green speed decreased after rolling) between two treatment plots measured after eight hours had passed was statistically significant at a 95% confidence level. Therefore, the lightweight roller was judged to be a proper roller type for the fast green management practice than the riding soil sprayer.

The effects of the ecdysteroid agonist tebufenozide on the larvae of Chironomus flaviplumus and Chironomus riparius were tested in the laboratory. Employing a static exposure setup, chironomids were subjected to various tebufenozide concentrations. In the most treatments it reach-ed a statistically significant difference from the control condition. As the concentration of tebufenozide was increased, a relatively larger proportion of the observed mortality was associated with the metamorphosis and molting process. The larval mortality of C. riparius was high in C. flaviplumus during over 30 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ treatments. In terms of development, the effects of tebufenozide were delayed growth stage in relatively lower concentration such as 10 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ tebufenozide treatments. The rates of succeed adult through the molting process were various in treated concentrations or/and the species.
