We introduce a family of polynomial invariants by using intersection index defined from a Gauss diagram of a long virtual knot, and we give some properties for long virtual knots. We extend these polynomials so that we give two-variable polynomial invariants and some example.

The relationship between food and nutrient intake, glycemic index (GI), glycemic load (GL), and body weight was investigated with high school girls residing in Seoul. As subjects, 159 girls were divided into a normal weight (NW) group (18.5 kg/$m^2$ $\leq$ BMI < 23 kg/$m^2$, n = 110) and an overweight (OW) group (BMI $\geq$ 23kg/$m^2$, n = 49) by body mass index (BMI). The food and nutrient intake data obtained by the 3-day food record were analyzed by Can pro 3.0 software. Anthropometric measurements were collected from each subject. Daily dietary GI (DGI) and dietary GL (DGL) were calculated from the 3-day food record. Body weights and BMI of NW were 52.4 kg and 20.4 kg/$m^2$ and those of OW were 65.2 kg and 25.4 kg/$m^2$, respectively. Total food, animal food, and other food intakes of NW were higher than those of OW, and vegetable food intakes of NW were lower than those of OW. Sugars intake of NW was significantly higher than OW. Nutrient intakes were not different between the two groups. Dietary fiber, calcium, and folate intakes of NW and OW were under 65% of the dietary reference intakes (DRIs). Major food sources of energy intake for both groups were rice, pizza, ice cream, pork, instant noodle, and chicken. Mean adequacy ratio (MAR), an index of overall dietary quality, was higher in NW (0.82) than in OW (0.80). Mean daily DGI of NW and OW was 66.5 and 66.4, respectively. Mean daily DGL of NW and OW was higher in NW (162.0) than in OW (155.9). DGI and DGL adjusted to energy intake were not significantly correlated with anthropometric data.

This paper presents a two-dimensional grouping index(2DG-index) for efficient processing of XML filtering queries. Recently, many index techniques have been suggested for the efficient processing of structural relationships among the elements in the XML database such as an ancestor- descendant and a parent-child relationship. However, these index techniques focus on simple path queries, and don't consider the path queries that include a condition value for filtering. The 2DG-index is an index structure that deals with the problem of clustering index entries in the twodimensional domain space that consists of a XML path identifier domain and a filtering data value domain. For performance evaluation, we have compared our proposed 2DG-index with the conventional one dimensional index structure such as the data grouping index (DG-index) and the path grouping index (PG-index). As the result of the performance evaluations, we have verified that our proposed 2DG-index can efficiently support the query processing in XML databases according to the query types.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to establish a mother and child cohort in the Chinese population, and investigate human breastmilk (HBM) composition and its relationship with maternal body mass index (BMI) and infant growth during the first 3 mon of life. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A total of 101 Chinese mother and infant pairs were included in this prospective cohort. Alterations in the milk macronutrients of Chinese mothers at 1 mon (T1), 2 mon (T2), and 3 mon (T3) lactation were analyzed. HBM fatty acid (FA) profiles were measured by gas chromatography (GC), and HBM proteomic profiling was achieved by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS). RESULTS: During the first 3 mon of lactation (P < 0.05), significant decreases were determined in the levels of total energy, fat, protein, and osteopontin (OPN), as well as ratios of long-chain saturated FA (including C16:0, C22:0 and C24:0), monounsaturated FA (including C16:1), and n-6 poly unsaturated FA (PUFA) (including C20:3n-6 and C20:4n-6, and n-6/n-3). Conversely, butyrate, C6:0 and n-3 PUFA C18:3n-3 (α-linolenic acid, ALA) were significantly increased during the first 3 mon (P < 0.05). HBM proteomic analyses distinguished compositional protein differences over time (P = 0.001). Personalized motherinfant analyses demonstrated that HBM from high BMI mothers presented increased total energy, fat, protein and OPN, and increased content of n-6 PUFA (including C18:3n-6, C20:3n-6 and n-6/n-3 ratio) as compared with low BMI mothers (P < 0.05). Furthermore, BMI of the mothers positively correlated with the head circumference (HC) of infants as well as the specific n-6 PUFA C20:3n-6 over the 3 time points examined. Infant HC was negatively associated with C18:0. CONCLUSION: This study provides additional evidence to the Chinese HBM database, and further knowledge of FA function. It also helps to establish future maternal strategies that support the healthy growth and development of Chinese infants.

In this paper we propose several estimators of Gini index of the two-parameter exponential distribution and obtain dis-tributions and moments of the proposed estimators. The proposed estimators are shown to cosistency and will be compares in terms of the proposed estimators. The proposed estimators are shown to cosistency and will be compared in terms of the mean squared error (MSE) through Monte Carlo method.

An optimization problem minimizing n given time-weighted performance index for discrete-time linear multi-input systems is investigated for the prespecified closed-loop eigenvalues. Necessary conditions for an optimality of the controller that satisfies the specified closed-loop eigenvalues are derived. A computational algorithm solving the optimal constant feedback gain is presented and a numerical example is given to show the effect of a time-weighted performance index on the transient responses.

Using various observed data, we examined the evolution of tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) during 2011-2012, with focusing on the development of 2012 El Ni$\tilde{n}$o. It is observed that a La Ni$\tilde{n}$a event during 2011 was followed by a moderate El Ni$\tilde{n}$o during 2012 summer. The 2012 summer El Ni$\tilde{n}$o initiated near the west coast of South America on February 2012, and continued to expand westward till August. Given this evolutionary pattern, the 2012 summer El Ni$\tilde{n}$o can be categorized as 'Eastern Pacific (EP) El Ni$\tilde{n}$o' because Ni$\tilde{n}$o-3 index is greater than Ni$\tilde{n}$o-4 index, and it may be the first well-defined EP El Ni$\tilde{n}$o since 2001. On February 2012, this event was initiated mainly by the local air-sea interaction, and at the same time the ocean heat content was accumulated over the tropical western Pacific due to the easterly wind anomaly over the tropical western Pacific. Then, the accumulated heat content slowly propagates to the tropical eastern Pacific, which attributes to maintain El Ni$\tilde{n}$o state during 2012 summer. After August, the positive SST anomaly over the equatorial eastern Pacific decays possibly due to the exhausted heat content and the weakening of air-sea interaction, but the weak positive SST anomaly over the central Pacific remains till now (2012 November).

Micro gas sensors including thin film catal) tic type require stress-free memhrancs for etch stop of Si anisotropic etching and sublayer of sensing elements hecause stress is one of the main factors affecting breakdown of thin membranes. This paper reports the effects of deposition conditions on stress and refractive index of $SiN_{x}/SiO_{x}/(NON)$ films deposited by low pressure c11ernic;rl vapor deposition(L, t'CVI)) 2nd reactve sputtering. In the case of I.PCVI1, the stresses of $SiN_{x}$ and NON films arc $7.6{\times}10^{8}dyne/cm^2$ and $3.3{\times}10^{8}dyne/cm^2$, respectibely, and the refractive indices are 3.05 and 152, respectively. In the cxse oi the sputtered SiN, , compressi\e stress decreased in magnitude and then turned to tensility as increasing proc, ess pressure by lmtorr to 30mtorr and cicreasmg applied power density by $2.74W/cm^2$ to $1.10W/cm^2$. The hest value of film stress obt;~ined under condition of lOmtorr and $1.37W/cm^2$ in this' experiment was $1.2{\times}10^{9}dyne/cm^2$ cnnipressive. The refr~ict~ve index decreased from 2 05 to 1 89 as decreasing applied power density by lnitorr to 3Orntorr and increasing process pressure hy $2.74W/cm^2$ to $1.10W/cm^2$. Stresses of films deposited by both LPCVL) and sputtering decreased as incre;lsing temperature and showed plastic behavior as decreasing temperature.
