The homotopy analysis method (HAM) has been applied to develop an analytic solution for the coupled radiation-convection dissipative non-gray gas flow in a non-Darcy porous medium. Results are presented for the surface shear and temperature profiles are presented to illustrate the effect of various parameters appearing in the analytical formulation. The accuracy and convergence of the method is also discussed.

The main goal for this paper is consider the necessary conditions and sufficient conditions of wavelet frames in higher dimensions with an arbitrary expanding matrix dilation. At first, we give a necessary condition of wavelet frame in $L^2(R^n)$, which generalizes the univariate results of Shi from one dimension with an arbitrary real number a(a > 1) dilation to higher dimension with an arbitrary expansive matrix dilation. Secondly, we deduce a necessary condition for wavelet frames in $L^2(R^n)$ when the function $\psi$ satisfies some property of the decay. For the case n = 1, we obtain a corollary which has weaker condition comparing with existing result.

Objectives: To identify factors responsible for potentially clinically unnecessary cervical cancer screenings in women with prior hysterectomy. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). This study targeted adult women and examined whether they received a both a Papanicolaou (Pap) test and undergone a hysterectomy in the last three years. We conducted multivariate analyses, including weighted proportions and odds ratios (ORs), based on the modified BRFSS weighting method (raking). The inclusion criteria were adult women (>18 years old) who reported having received a Pap test within the last 3 years. Results: Of all women (n=252 391), 72 366 had received a Pap test, and 32 935 of those women (45%, or 12.5 million, weighted) had a prior hysterectomy. We found that age, race/ethnicity, marital status, family income, health status, time since last routine checkup, and health insurance coverage were all significant predictors. Black, non-Hispanic women were 2.23 times more likely to receive Pap testing after a hysterectomy than white women (OR, 2.23; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.99 to 2.50). Similarly, the odds for Hispanic women were 2.34 times higher (OR, 2.34; 95% CI, 1.97 to 2.80). The odds were also higher for those who were married (OR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.08 to 1.27), healthier (OR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.14 to 1.35), and had health insurance (OR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.28 to 1.84), after controlling for confounders. Conclusions: We conclude that women may potentially receive Pap tests even if they are not at risk for cervical cancer, and may not be adequately informed about the need for screenings. We recommend strategies to disseminate recommendations and information to patients, their families, and care providers.

본 연구는 한국 재래 닭의 유전적 특성을 분자표지를 이용하여 그 차이를 규명하고 초기성장에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 이를 이용한 재래닭의 개량을 목적으로 실시하였다. MHC class II B-LB 유전자 내의 염기변이체가 경제형질에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. MHC class II B-LB유전자 내 400 bp 크기의 유전자를 증폭하여 염기서열 분석과 제한효소 처리를 이용한 다형성 분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 두 개의 제한효소 절단지역이 발견되었으며 427 지역을 Type I 으로 651 지역은 Type II로 정하여 RFLP 분석을 실시하였다. Type I지역의 유전자형은 TT, TC, CC로 나타났으며, TypeII 지역의 유전자형은 MM, Mm, mm으로 나타났다. TC와 Mm 유전자형이 다른 유전자형과 비교하였을 때 한국재래 닭에서 높은 출현빈도를 보였다(0.8, 0.88). 유전자형이 한국 재래 닭의 150일령 체중에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과 CC와 Mm 유전자형에서 통계적 유의성이 도출되었다 (P<0.05). 따라서 본 연구의 결과를 이용하여 한국 재래 닭의 유전적 특성을 규명할 수 있으며 초기 성장이 높은 성적을 나타내는 CC, Mm 유전자형을 개량에 이용하게 된다면 큰 효과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 사료되어진다. 본 연구의 결과는 차후 한국 재래 닭의 과학적이고 지속적인 유전자원의 보존과 육종 전략에 있어 매우 유용하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

DNA microarray and next-generation sequencing provide data that can be used for the genetic analysis of multiple quantitative traits such as gene expression levels, transcription factor binding profiles, and epigenetic signatures. In particular, chromatin opening is tightly coupled with gene transcription. To understand how these two processes are genetically regulated and associated with each other, we examined the changes of chromatin accessibility and gene expression in response to genetic variation by means of quantitative trait loci mapping. Regulatory patterns commonly observed in yeast and human across different technical platforms and experimental designs suggest a higher genetic complexity of transcription regulation in contrast to a more robust genetic architecture of chromatin regulation.

In this paper, we investigate the global behavior of the solutions of the difference equation $x_{n+1}=\frac{A+Bx_{n-2k-1}}{C+D\prod_{i=l}^{k}x_{n-2i}^{m_i}}$, n=0, 1, ..., with non-negative initial conditions, the parameters A, B are non-negative real numbers, C, D are positive real numbers, k, l are fixed non-negative integers such that l ≤ k, and m_i, i=l, k are positive integers.

The asymptotic behavior of solutions of higher order differential equations with deviating argument $$(py^{(n-1)}(t))'\;+\;\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n-1}ci(t)y^{(i-1)}(t)\;=\;f\[t,\;y(t),\;y'(t),\;{\ldots},\;y^{(n-1)}(t),\;y(\phi(t)),\;y'(\phi(t)),\;{\ldots},\;y^{(n-1)}\;(\phi(t))\]\;\;\;\;(1)$$ $t\;{\in}\;[0,\;\infty)$ is studied. Our technique depends on an integral inequality containing a deviating argument. From this we obtain some sufficient conditions under which all solutions of Eq.(1) have some asymptotic behavior.

Purposes: 본 연구는 전립선암 환자의 의료비 지출을 평가하기 위해 남성호르몬 박탈 치료와 근치적 전립선적출술의 비용을 비교하였다. Methods: 본 연구는 스마트 전립선암 데이터베이스(Smart Prostate Cancer Database)의 전립선암 환자 357명의 데이터와 청구데이터베이스에서 의료비 관련 데이터를 도출하였다. 근치적 전립선적출술과 남성호르몬 박탈 치료간 비교를 위해 독립표본 t검정을 실시하였다. 또한 남성호르몬 박탈 치료와 근치적 전립선적출술에 영향을 미치는 요인을 검증하기 위해 다중회귀 분석을 실시하였다. Findings: 치료 후 1년까지 남성호르몬 박탈치료가 근치적 전립선적출술 보다 비용이 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 치료 후 4년까지 낮게 유지되었다. 그러나 4년이 지나면 남성호르몬 박탈 치료의 누적의료비가 근치적 전립선적출술보다 더 유의미하게 높게 나타났다. 환자의 병기가 높거나 나이가 많은 경우 근치적 전립선적출술보다 남성호르몬 박탈 치료를 할 확률이 더 높았다. Practical Implications: 본 연구는 조기 암 발견이 환자 뿐 아니라 국민건강보험공단의 의료비를 줄일 수 있다는 것을 보여 준다. 또한 의료비를 정확히 평가하기 위해서는 오랜 기간의 정보를 평가해야 하며, 이를 기반으로 평가 및 예측이 필요함을 증명하였다.
