  • We take genomic sequences of high-dimensional low sample size (HDLSS) without ordering of response categories into account. When constructing an appropriate test statistics in this model, the classical multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) approach might not be useful owing to very large number of parameters and very small sample size. For these reasons, we present a pseudo marginal model based upon the Gini-Simpson index estimated via Bayesian approach. In view of small sample size, we consider the permutation distribution by every possible n! (equally likely) permutation of the joined sample observations across G groups of (sizes $n_1,{\ldots}n_G$). We simulate data and apply false discovery rate (FDR) and positive false discovery rate (pFDR) with associated proposed test statistics to the data. And we also analyze real SARS data and compute FDR and pFDR. FDR and pFDR procedure along with the associated test statistics for each gene control the FDR and pFDR respectively at any level ${\alpha}$ for the set of p-values by using the exact conditional permutation theory.

  • An experiment was set to assess the effect of mixed plantings on initial growth and biomass yield of two common plantation tree species of Bangladesh namely Acacia auriculiformis (A) and Gmelina arborea (G). Study was carried out in the nursery bed of the Seed Research Laboratory and Nursery of Institute of Forestry and Environmental Sciences, Chittagong University (IFESCU), Bangladesh during February to November, 2015. The treatments consisted of two pure planting plots (100% A and 100% G) and five mixed planting plots (50%A: 50%G, 35%A: 65%G, 25%A: 75%G, 65%A: 35%G and 75%A: 25%G) of these two species. In nursery, seedlings were raised in a randomized blocks with four replicates of seven treatment plots. Periodic increments on height (cm), collar diameter (cm) and leaf/phyllode number of the seedlings was taken in every month and continued up to 10 months. The growth and biomass yield of seedlings were measured 10 months after the first seed was emerged. The effects of mixed plantation on growth and biomass were compared to that of seedlings grown in pure plantation. At the age of 10 months it was found that G. arborea seedlings were significantly tallest (240.13 cm) when planted with A. auriculiformis in a proportion of 25%A: 75%G, whereas A. auriculiformis were tallest in the pure 100% A plot, with an average mean height of 135.36 cm. Maximum collar diameter (1.38 cm) was recorded for G. arborea in the mixed plots 75%A: 25%G. Fresh and dry weight of shoots and roots of the seedlings were found significantly (p<0.05) highest in 50%A: 50%G plot for G. arborea. G. arborea also showed highest quality index when mixed with A. auriculiformis in a proportion of 50:50, with an average value of 8.96. The results revealed a positive correlation between seedling growth and various planting patterns.

  • This study investigated the smoke risk assessment of woods and plastics for construction materials, focusing on the smoke performance index-V (SPI-V), smoke growth index-V (SGI-V), and smoke risk index-VI (SRI-VI) according to a newly designed methodology. Spruce, Lauan, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and polycarbonate (PC) were used for test pieces. Smoke characteristics of the materials were measured using a cone calorimeter (ISO 5660-1) equipment. The smoke performance index-V calculated after the combustion reaction was found to be 1.0 to 3.4 based on PMMA. Smoke risk by smoke performance index-V was increased in the order of PC, Spruce, Lauan and PMMA. Lauan and PMMA showed similar values. The smoke growth index-V was found to be 1.0 to 9.2 based on PMMA. Smoke risk by smoke growth index-V increased in the order of PMMA, PC, Spruce, and Lauan. COpeak production rates of all specimens were measured between 0.0021 to 0.0067 g/s. In conclusion, materials with a low smoke performance index-V and a high smoke growth index-V cause a high smoke risk from fire. Therefore, it is understood that the smoke risk from fire is high. It is collectively summarized by the smoke risk index-VI.

  • Various frame recovery algorithms have been suggested to overcome the communication quality degradation problem due to Internet-typical impairments on Voice over IP(VoIP) communications. In this paper, we propose a new receiver-based recovery method which is able to enhance recovered speech quality with almost free computational cost and without an additional increment of delay and bandwidth consumption. Most conventional recovery algorithms try to recover the lost or erroneous speech frames by reconstructing missing coefficients or speech signal during speech decoding process. Thus they eventually need to modify the decoder software. The proposed frame recovery algorithm tries to reconstruct the missing frame itself, and does not require the computational burden of modifying the decoder. In the proposed scheme, the Vector Quantization(VQ) codebook indices of the erased frame are directly estimated by referring the pre-computed VQ Codebook Index Interpolation Tables(VCIIT) using the VQ indices from the adjacent(previous and next) frames. We applied the proposed scheme to the ITU-T G.723.1 speech coder and found that it improved reconstructed speech quality and outperforms conventional G.723.1 loss recovery algorithm. Moreover, the suggested simple scheme can be easily applicable to practical VoIP systems because it requires a very small amount of additional computational cost and memory space.

  • In this study, we investigated the deposition behavior and the etch resistivity of plasma polymerized carbon hardmask (ppCHM) film with the variation of process temperature. The etch resistivity of deposited ppCHM film was analyzed by thickness measurement before and after direct contact reactive ion etching process. The physical and chemical properties of films were characterized on the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscope, Raman spectroscope, stress gauge, and ellipsometry. The deposition behavior of ppCHM process with the variation of temperature was correlated refractive index (n), extinction coefficient (k), intrinsic stress (MPa), and deposition rate (A/s) with the hydrocarbon concentration, graphite (G) and disordered (D) peak by analyzing the Raman and FT-IR spectrum. From this experiment we knew an optimal deposition condition for structure of carbon hardmask with the higher etch selectivity to oxide. It was shown the density of ppCHM film had 1.6~1.9 g/cm3 and its refractive index was 1.8~1.9 at process temperature, $300{\sim}600^{\circ}C$. The etch selectivity of ppCHM film was shown about 1:4~1:8 to undoped siliconoxide (USG) film (etch rate, 1300 A/min).

  • The objective of this study was to standardized the cooking method of Imjasootang, a traditional health food in summer. By mixing chicken soup with 20 g (I$_1$), 30 g (I$_2$), 40 g (I$_3$), 50 g (I$_4$) of seasam seeds, the distinctive characteristic and level of preference of Imjasootang were examined through the analyses of the proximate composition, fatty acid contents, color index, turbidity, brix$^{\circ}$, and sensory evaluation. 1. The proximate composition of Imjasootang was 90.2∼95.1% of total moisture, 0.985∼1.271% of crude protein, 0.90∼0.98% of crude fat, 1.592∼2.456% of nonfiber, 0.003∼0.004% of fiber, and 0.77∼0.97% of crude ash. Fatty acid were composed of 15.15∼17.36% of saturated fatty acid and 79.73∼82.54% of unsaturated fatty acid. Imjasootang contains high level of oleic acid and linoleic acid which were dependant on the content of seasame seeds. 2. For color index of samples, the lightness ranged 47.2∼56.9, “a”values 1.82∼2.15%, and “b”values 15.5∼16.5%. The turbidity of samples ranged 39∼61%, in which I$_4$ (chicken stock 100 g+sesame seed 50 g+water 25 g) was the most turbid. Solid content was also the highest in I$_4$, ranging 1.4∼5.1%. 3. In sensory evaluation, all sesame seed Imjasootangs had no significance differences in appearance. The higher the level of sesame seed in Imjasootangs, the more Imjasootang was preferred in terms of nutty aroma, color nutty taste. and viscosity. I$_4$ had the strongest nutty aroma. I$_2$ (chicken stock 100 g+sesame seed 30 g+water 15 g) and I$_3$ (chicken stock 100 g+sesame seed 40 g+water 20 g) were the best in the overall preference.

  • The objective of the present study was to investigate relationships between Caslick's index and fertility for different age groups of Cheju mares. Ninety-one Cheju mares were used for this study. Caslick's index was measured the effective length and angle of declination of the vulva in the mare. They were mated naturally by stallions from February to October during the years $2002{\sim}2005$. The classification used in the present study was : Group I - good conception every years, Group II - conception every other year and Group III - Barren. Younger aged group ($3{\sim}7$ years) had a lower Caslick's index (<50) compared with $8{\sim}14$ aged group and older aged group (> 15 years). In this study, Caslick's index was increasing by increasing age of Cheju horse like Thoroughbred. However, fertility was decreasing by increasing Caslick's index. Hence, there was significant association between the different Caslick's index and fertility. Further research is needed to determine relationship between different Caslick's index and endometritis.
