This paper consider trinomial group testing concerned with classification of N given units into one of k disjoint categories. In this paper, we propose Bayesian inference for estimating individual category proportions using the trinomial group testing model proposed by Bar-Lev et al. (2005). We compared a relative efficience (RE) based on the mean squared error (MSE) of MLE and Bayes estimators with various prior information. The impact of different prior specifications on the estimates is also investigated using selected prior distribution. The impact of different priors on the Bayes estimates is modest when the sample size and group size we large.

후면투사방식의 CRT(Cathod Ray Tube) 고화질 텔레비젼용 광학엔진은 큰 화면과 굽은 필드 때문에 일반적인 전방검사 MTF(modulation transfer function)로는 측정이 어렵다. 이러한 광학엔진의 MTF를 측정하기 위하여 광학엔진이 놓인 물체면과 상분석기의 위치를 서로 바꾸는 후방검사 MTF방법을 제안하고 이에 따른 MTF 측정장비를 구성하였다. 이러한 CRT HDTV용 광학엔진을 위한 후방검사 MTF측정법은 작은 수치개구(NA), 낮은 분해능, 긴 초점심도들 때문에 정밀도가 낮아지는 전방검사 MTF 측정법보다 사용하기가 훨씬 더 좋으며, 정렬이 매우 용이하고 측정반복성이 매우 좋다. 이 방법으로 측정한 MTF값과 설계된 MTF를 비교함으로써 이 방법의 신뢰성을 확인하였다.

This study was performed to evaluate the toxicity of cadmium selenide for a period of 28 days in Sprague-Dawley rats. Each of 10 healthy male and females rats per group received daily oral administration for 28-day period at dosage levels 30, 300 and 1,000 mg/kg of body weight. Mortality and clinical signs were checked, and body weight, water intake and food consumption were also recorded weekly. There were no dose-related changes in food consumption or urine volume. All animals survived to the end of study with no clinical signs or differences in body weight gain observed when compared with the control group. At the end of study, all animals including control group, were subjected to necropsy. Blood samples were collected for hematology tests including coagulation time and biochemistry analysis. Blood coagulation time and relative organ weight were unaffected by all received doses. White Blood Cell (WBC) counts significantly increased in the 300 mg/kg administered male animal group when compared to the control. Monocyte (MO) value were also increased significantly in both 300 and 1,000 mg/kg male animal group. However, Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) were significantly decreased compared with the control in the 1,000 mg/kg dose groups for male and female animals. Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) decreased significantly for female in the 300 and 1,000 mg/kg group compared to the control. Blood biochemical values of Inorganic phosphorus (IP) were significantly increased in both the 300 and 1,000 mg/kg dose groups in male animals when compared to the control. Creatinine (CRE) levels indicated significant increase in kidney function for the female, 30 mg/kg dose group when compared with control. There was a significant decrease in thymus absolute organ weight in the female, 1,000 mg/kg dose group when compared with control. Histopathological findings revealed no evidence of injury related to cadmium selenide except for one case of focal hepatic inflammation in the high dose (1,000 mg/kg) group. One case of lung inflammation was also seen in the control group. Basis on these result, the No Observable Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) of cadmium selenide was determined to be more than 1,000 mg/kg/day for male and female rats under conditions in this study.

Group testing is an efficient method to classify units from a population as infected or non-infected and useful in estimating the infection rate when the population infection rate is small. Upper bounds are the focus of interest in group testing, but has not been studied extensively. In this paper, the upper bound derived from the uniformly most powerful test is proposed and compared with the classical approachers, Thompson's and Bhattacharyya et al.'s methods.

For the corrosion protection of the natural gas transmission pipelines, two methods are used, cathodic protection and coating technique. In the case of cathodic protection, defects are embrittled by occurring hydrogen at the crack tip or material surface. It is however very important to evaluate whether cracks in the embrittled area can grow or not, especially in weld metal. In this work, on the basis of elastic plastic fracture mechanics, we performed the CTOD testing with various test conditions, such as testing rate and potential. The CTOD of the base metal and the weld metal showed a strong dependence of the test conditions. The CTOD decreased with decreasing testing rate and with increasing cathodic potential. The morphology of the fracture surface showed the quasi-cleavage at low testing rate and cathodic overprotection. The low CTOD was caused by hydrogen embrittlement at crack tip.

When test outcomes of units are dichotomous and he infection rate is small group testing is more efficient that noe-to-one testing in estimating the true p and classifying units as infected or not. In this paper two-sided hypothesis testing and confidence intervals are derived based on the UMP(uniformly most powerful) unbiased test. The UMP unbiased approach is compared with Thompson's and Bhattacharyya et al.'s approaches by computing the length of confidence intervals and capture probabilities and shown to have a number of desirable properties. Unequal allocation one of advantages of the proposed approach is also mentioned.

COVID-19 has been spreading all around the world, and threatening global health. In this situation, identifying and isolating infected individuals rapidly has been one of the most important measures to contain the epidemic. However, the standard diagnosis procedure with RT-PCR (Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction) is costly and time-consuming. For this reason, pooled testing for COVID-19 has been proposed from the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce the cost and time of identifying the COVID-19 infection. For pooled testing, how many samples are tested in group is the most significant factor to the performance of the test system. When the arrivals of test requirements and the test time are stochastic, batch-service queueing models have been utilized for the analysis of pooled-testing systems. However, most of them do not consider the false-negative test results of pooled testing in their performance analysis. For the COVID-19 RT-PCR test, there is a small but certain possibility of false-negative test results, and the group-test size affects not only the time and cost of pooled testing, but also the false-negative rate of pooled testing, which is a significant concern to public health authorities. In this study, we analyze the performance of COVID-19 pooled-testing systems with false-negative test results. To do this, we first formulate the COVID-19 pooled-testing systems with false negatives as a batch-service queuing model, and then obtain the performance measures such as the expected number of test requirements in the system, the expected number of RP-PCR tests for a test sample, the false-negative group-test rate, and the total cost per unit time, using the queueing analysis. We also present a numerical example to demonstrate the applicability of our analysis, and draw a couple of implications for COVID-19 pooled testing.

Exaggerated blood pressure response during exercise has been found to increase the risk of future hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, cerebrovascular stroke, and CVD (cardiovascular disease) death. The aim of this study was to evaluate exercise capacity, cardiovascular factors in exaggerated blood pressure response during treadmill exercise testing. For research subjects, 72 subjects (normal blood response: 49 subjects, exaggerated blood response: 23 subjects) who received treadmill exercise test at J General Hospital were selected in this study. Exaggerated SBP (systolic blood pressure) response was defined as an SBP of 210 mmHg or greater during a maximal treadmill exercise test. The group with an exaggerated SBP response showed significantly higher values for RPP (rate pressure product) compared with the group with a normal SBP response. Subjects with METs (metabolic equivalents) had lower exaggerated SBP response than normal SBP response group. Subjects with recovery SBP had delayed exaggerated SBP response than normal SBP response group. Exaggerated SBP response to exercise is negative correlation with METs.
