The primary purpose of this study was to employ an ecological model to analyze relative magnitudes of significant predictors affecting school life satisfaction in Korea Science Academy. The instruments used for this study were school life satisfaction Scale, Self-Efficacy Scale, Relationship Skill Scale, Internal Control Scale, Emotional Intelligence Scale, and FACE IV Scale. Data were collected by purposive sampling of 180 students of the Korea Science Academy in Busan, Korea. The data were analyzed by frequency, percentile, mean, standard deviation, Cronbach' ${\alpha}$, Pearson's productive correlation, hierarchical regression and stepwise regression, using SPSS 15.0+WIN program package. The results were as follows: 1. The level of school life satisfaction in Korea Science Academy was found to be high(Mean = 4.24, SD = 0.57). 2. Model IV was the most powerful. It explained 49.7% of the school life satisfaction. 3. Relationship with friends(${\beta}$ = .443), with teachers(${\beta}$ = .273), and self-efficacy(${\beta}$ = .201) were significant factors in explaining the school life satisfaction. The three variables explained 49.9% of school life satisfaction.

The study purpose was to find which factors affect selection of hospital network types. This study used the 1998 American Hospital Association Annual Survey Database from Health Forum. Among these U.S. hospitals, the researcher selected hospitals located in Metropolitan Statistical Areas. Therefore the final observation cases for analysis are 1,971 Metropolitan Statistical Area hospitals in the United States. To identify significant variables influencing hospital network types, the study used proportional odds logistics regression model on population size, Health Maintenance Organization penetration rate, and market competition rate of area including a hospital, types of hospital ownership, hospital bed size, proportion of Medicare patients and Medicaid patients in total hospital patients, and occupancy rate. Contrary to conventional wisdom, selection of hospital network types was influenced by population size of area which a hospital located, types of ownership, hospital bed size, and proportion of medicare patients rather than Health Maintenance Organization penetration. Population size 1,000,000-2,499,999 had the highest probability of selecting type IV (clinical-vertical integration) from an independent hospital, and a religious group owned hospitals and for-profit owned hospitals had the highest probability of selecting Type IV (clinical-vertical integration) from an independent hospital. A bed size had positive relation on selecting Type IV (clinical-vertical integration) from an independent hospital. Unlikely general belief that the selecting types of hospital network was determined by the change of health insurance policy such as Health Maintenance Organizations and Preferred Provider Organizations, the types of hospital network were influenced by community characteristics such as population size, and hospital characteristics.

In the areas highly exposed to earthquakes, concrete-filled steel tube columns (CFSTCs) are known to provide superior structural aspects such as (i) high strength for good seismic performance (ii) high ductility (iii) enhanced energy absorption (iv) confining pressure to concrete, (v) high section modulus, etc. Numerous studies were reported on behavior of CFSTCs under axial compression loadings. This paper presents an analytical model to predict ultimate load capacity of CFSTCs with circular sections under axial load by using multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS). MARS is a nonlinear and non-parametric regression methodology. After careful study of literature, 150 comprehensive experimental data presented in the previous studies were examined to prepare a data set and the dependent variables such as geometrical and mechanical properties of circular CFST system have been identified. Basically, MARS model establishes a relation between predictors and dependent variables. Separate regression lines can be formed through the concept of divide and conquers strategy. About 70% of the consolidated data has been used for development of model and the rest of the data has been used for validation of the model. Proper care has been taken such that the input data consists of all ranges of variables. From the studies, it is noted that the predicted ultimate axial load capacity of CFSTCs is found to match with the corresponding experimental observations of literature.

Background: Lung cancer was one of the most common cancers in both men and women all over the world. In this study, we aimed to clarify who could survive after long term chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: We enrolled 186 patients with stage IV NSCLC after long term chemotherapy from Jun 2006 to Nov 2014 diagnosed in Jiangsu Cancer Hospital. Multiple variables like age, gender, smoking, histology of adenocarcinoma and squamous-cell cancer, number of metastatic sites, metastatic sites (e.g. lung, brain, bone, liver and pleura), hemoglobin, lymphocyte rate (LYR), Change of LYR during multiple therapies, hypertension, diabetes, chronic bronchitis, treatments (e.g.radiotherapy and targeted therapy) were selected. For consideration of factors influencing survival and response for patients with advanced NSCLC, logistic regression analysis and Cox regression analysis were used in an attempt to develop a screening module for patients with elevated survival after long term chemotherapy become possible. Results: Of the total of 186 patients enrolled, 69 survived less than 1 year (short-term group), 45 one to two years, and 72 longer than 3 years (long-term group). For logistic regression analysis, the short-term group was taken as control group and the long-term group as the case group. We found that age, histology of adenocarcinoma, metastatic site (e.g. lung and liver), treatments (e.g. targeted therapy and radiotherapy), LYR, a decreasing tendency of LYR and chronic bronchitis were individually associated with overall survival by Cox regression analysis. A multivariable Cox regression model showed that metastatic site (e.g. lung and liver), histology of adenocarcinoma, treatments (e.g. targeted therapy and radiotherapy) and chronic bronchitis were associated with overall survival. Thus metastatic site (e.g. lung and liver) and chronic bronchitis may be important risk factors for patients with advanced NSCLC. Gender, metastatic site (e.g. lung and liver), LYR and the decreasing tendency of LYR were significantly associated with long-term survival in the individual-variable logistic regression model (P<0.05). On multivariate logistic regression analysis, gender, metastatic site (e.g. lung and liver) and the decreasing tendency of LYR associated with long-term survival. Conclusions: In conclusion, female patients with stage IV adenocarcinoma of NSCLC who had decreasing tendency of LYR during the course therapy and had accepted multiple therapies e.g. more than third-line chemotherapy, radiotherapy and/or targeted therapy might be expected to live longer.

The empirical area-reduction method by W.M. Borland and C.R. Miller and its revised procedure by W.T. Moody were made of fitting the area and storage curves to the Van't Hul distributions. It should be noted that the reservoir is classified into one of the four standard types on the basis of the topographical feature of the reservoir in application of the method. In other words, this method did not take into account several considerafble factors affecting the mode of sediment deposition, but only the shape of the reservoir as a governign factor. This is why the method occasionally creates ambiguity in classification and accordingly leads to unexpected mode of deposition. This paper describes a generating an formula to decide the standard classification of four types Van's Hul distributions, taking into consideration quantitatively sediment-loss percent and capacity-inflow ratio as well as the shape of the reservoirs by multiple regression analysis using the least square method to get a better fit to the design curves. The result is expressed as $Y=-1.95+55.8X_1+0.14X_2+0.12X_3$ in which the the values of Y locate the standard type I through type IV in the range from ten to forty with the interval of ten. The regression analysis was correlated well with the standard errors of estimate of around two except for the case of the type IV. This formula does not give big difference from the Borland's work in general sityation, but it demonstrates acceptable results, giving somewhat precise replys for the specific reservoirs. Its application to the Soyang Lake, one of the largest reservoirs in the country, defined clearly the type II, while the original method located it in the boundary of the type II and type III.

심미적인 재료로 널리 사용되고 있는 복합레진은 중합과정에서 발생하는 수축으로 인해 여러 임상적 문제를 유발할 수 있다. 중합수축을 최소화하기 위한 방법의 하나로 복합레진의 성분을 변화시키는 방법이 연구되어 왔다. 본 연구의 목적은 기질조성의 변화를 통한 중합수축의 감소를 위해 최근 개발된 복합레진과 나노필러를 이용한 복합레진을 대상으로 중합과정에서 발생하는 수축량 및 수축응력을 측정하고 각 재료의 압축강도와 미세경도를 측정한 다음 그 결과들을 기존의 복합레진과 종합적으로 비교하여 평가해 보고자 하는 것이었다. 시편은 각 군당 20개씩 준비하였으며 실험에 사용된 복합레진으로는 Bis-GMA 기질에 TEGDMA와 UDMA를 혼합한 $Denfil^{TM}$(Vericom, 한국) $0.4-0.7{\mu}m$의 필러를 기준으로 나노필러를 첨가한 $Charmfil^{(R)}$(Dentkist, 한국), 기질의 TEGDMA의 상당부분을 UDMA와 Bis-EMA(6)로 대체한 $Filtek^{TM}$ Z250(3M-ESPE, USA), 그리고 나노필러만을 이용한 $Filtek^{TM}$ Supreme(3M-ESPE, USA)를 선정하였으며, 광중합기인 Curing Light 2500(3M, USA)를 이용하여 각각 40초간 광조사하였다. 광조사 후 1초 간격으로 10분간 수축응력과 선 수축률을 스트레인 게이지를 이용하여 측정한 다음 그래프로 분석하였고, 중합 1분 후와 10분 후의 수축응력과 선 수축률을 통계분석하였다. 또한 만능시험기와 미세경도기를 이용하여 중합 24시간 후 각 군의 압축강도와 미세경도를 측정하여 통계분석하였다. 수축응력 양상을 관찰해 본 결과 각 군에서 모두 중합 초기에 일시적인 재료의 팽창을 나타내었고, 그 후 수축응력이 약 1분간 급격히 증가한 다음 서서히 증가속도가 감소하는 양상을 보였다. 1분 후에서는 각 군간에 통계학적 유의성은 없었다. 10분 후에서는 IV군과 II군간에 유의한 차이가 존재하였다(p<.05). 1분간 측정한 회귀분석에서는 III군의 기울기가 가장 적었고, II군 I군, IV군의 순이었다. 중합수축률 측정 실험에서는 중합 초기의 일시적 인 팽창과 약 1분간의 급격한 수축 증가를 나타내었고 그 후 서서히 증가속도가 감소하는 양상을 보였다. 1분 후에서는 IV군과 III군간에 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<.05). 10분후에서는 IV군이 I군과 III군에서 유의 한 차이가 있었으며 II군과 III군간에도 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<.05). 1분간 측정한 회귀분석에서는 II군의 기울기가 가장 적었으며, IV군, III군, I군의 순이었다. 압축강도 실험에서는 III군, II군, IV군, I군의 순으로 높게 나타났으며, III군이 IV군과 I군에 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<.05). 미세경도 실험에서는 모든 군에서 상면에 비해 하면의 미세경도가 통계학적으로 유의차 있게 낮은 것으로 나타났다(p<.05). 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때, hybrid 필러를 이용한 레진에서 상대적으로 낮은 수축률과 우수한 물성을 보였으며, 나노필러를 사용한 복합레진의 경우, 기존의 hybrid 필러를 이용한 레진에 비하여 수축응력을 감소시키지는 못하였다. 나노필러를 이용한 복합레진은 개발의 초기단계이며, 물성의 증가를 위한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

The possibility of rapid quantitative analysis of AV(Acid Value), IV(Iodine Value) and fatty acids in vegetable oils with NIRS(Near-infrared spectroscopy) was evaluated. A calibration equation calculated by MPLS regression technique was developed and correlation coefficient of determination for AV, IV, $C_{16:0},\;C_{18:0},\;C_{18:1},\;C_{18:2},\;C_{18:3},\;and\;C_{20:0}$ content were 0.9727, 0.997, 0.9805, 0.942, 0.9987, 0.9994, 0.9966, and 0.975 respectively. According to the data obtained from validation study, $R^2$ of contents of perilla, corn, soybean, rapaseed oils were 0.897, 0.993, 0.935, 0.707, 0.994, 0.996, 0.984, 0.798, SEP of contents of 0.185, 1.367, 0.899, 0.640, 1.498, 1.360, 0.476, 0.076 by MPLS. The results indicate that the NIRS procedure can potentially be used as a non-destructive analysis method for the rapid and simple measurement of AV, IV and fatty acids in vegetable oils.

Objectives: Biomonitoring is used to assess human environmental exposures. Urinary biomonitoring data are typically adjusted to a constant creatinine concentration to correct for variable dilutions among spot samples. Our objective was to investigate urinary creatinine concentrations by region, gender, age and lifestyle. Methods: We studied urinary creatinine concentrations in 6,286 Koreans aged 20 years old and older who participated the fourth Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey (KNHANES IV) in 2009. Urinary creatinine concentration analysis used the Jaffe method. Results: The average urinary creatinine concentration of 6,286 Koreans was 158.99 mg/dl. The urinary creatinine concentration was significantly higher among men (184.97 mg/dl) than women (130.02 mg/dl). In both men and women, urinary creatinine concentrations were significantly different according to age group (p < 0.01). Whereas the urinary creatinine concentration of men significantly differed with smoking in adjusted comparison analysis, that of women significantly differed by education level. Ninety-two percent of urinary creatinine concentration was included within WHO guidelines effective range(30 mg/dl ${\leq}$ urinary creatinine concentration ${\leq}$ 300 mg/dl). In multiple regression analysis, creatinine was influenced by gender, age and body mass index (BMI). Conclusions: The urinary creatinine value obtained from representative samples of adult Koreans aged 20 year and older in KNHANES IV 2009 could be used as a reference value for other nationally studied surveys, such as abandoned metal mine surveys and surveys for industrial complexes.

PURPOSE. This study evaluated the initial stability of different implants placed above the bone level in different types of bone. MATERIALS AND METHODS. As described by Lekholm and Zarb, cortical layers of bovine bone specimens were trimmed to a thickness of 2 mm, 1 mm or totally removed to reproduce bone types II, III, and IV respectively. Three Implant system (Br${\aa}$nemark System$^{(R)}$ Mk III TiUnite$^{TM}$, Straumann Standard Implant SLA$^{(R)}$, and Astra Tech Microthread$^{TM}$-OsseoSpeed$^{TM}$) were tested. Control group implants were placed in level with the bone, while test group implants were placed 1, 2, 3, and 4 mm above the bone level. Initial stability was evaluated by resonance frequency analysis. Data was statistically analyzed by one-way analysis of variance in confidence level of 95%. The effective implant length and the Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) were compared using simple linear regression analysis. RESULTS. In the control group, there was a significant difference in the ISQ values of the 3 implants in bone types III and IV (P<.05). The ISQ values of each implant decreased with increased effective implant length in all types of bone. In type II bone, the decrease in ISQ value per 1-mm increase in effective implant length of the Br${\aa}$nemark and Astra implants was less than that of the Straumann implant. In bone types III and IV, this value in the Astra implant was less than that in the other 2 implants. CONCLUSION. The initial stability was much affected by the implant design in bone types III, IV and the implant design such as the short pitch interval was beneficial to the initial stability of implants placed above the bone level.

One of the widely accepted assumptions in many statistical problem is that the underlying distribution is symmetric. Though a large number of nonparametric test are available in the literature for this problem, very few procedures focuses on the distributional structure when the symmetry assumption is rejected. Yanagimoto and Sibuya (1972) provided the various types of asymmetric distributional structure, positive biasedness, namely. In this paper we consider the test of symmetry against several new positive biasedness restrictions which are stronger than Yanagimoto and Sibuya's type II bias but weaker than type IV (III) bias.
