Highly plastic clays in their normally consolidated state are not linear but are concave upwards. Thus their compression index deceases with the increase in consolidation pressure. Likeness the e - log ${\sigma}\;_{\upsilon}\;'$ curves of the silts are not linear but are convex upwards. In this paper, conducted consolidation test with four undisturbed field soil and found that their e - log ${\sigma}\;_{\upsilon}\;'$ plots are not linear. And analyzed difference of settlement between computed value with compression index($C_c$) and computed value with improved compression index($\mathbb{C}$).

Highly plastic clays in their normally consolidated states are not always linear but are concave downwards. Thus their compression index deceases with the increase of consolidation pressure. The $e-{\log}{\sigma}_{\upsilon}{\prime}$ curves of plastic or non-plastic silty clays are not linear but are convex upwards. In this paper, consolidation tests were conducted with several undisturbed field soils of Korea south coast and their $e-{\log}{\sigma}_{\upsilon}{\prime}$ plots are not always linear. In case of using Butterfield's method(liquid limit 50~100%), ${\ln}{\upsilon}-{\ln}{\sigma}_{\upsilon}{\prime}$ plots are linear. But some undisturbed samples which have void ratio over 2.24, liquid limit over 100% and plasticity index over 60% are not linear. In results of consolidation tests with remolded samples which contain silt(fly ash) contents of 90% has compression index increasing with the increase in consolidation pressure.

The objective of this study is to know market structures of softwood logs being imported to South Korea from log producing countries. Import demand of softwood logs imported to South Korea from America, New Zealand and Chile is fixed as a function of log prices, the lagged dependent variable and output. On the basis of the adaptive expectations model, linear regression models that the explanatory variables included and the lagged dependent variable were estimated by Seemingly Unrelated Regression Equations (SURE). The short-run and long-run own price elasticity of America's softwood log import demand is -1.738 and -4.250 respectively. Then long-run elasticity is much higher than short-run elasticity. Short-run and long-run crosselasticity of New Zealand's softwood log import demand with respect to American's softwood log import price are inelastic at 0.505 and 0.883 respectively. Short-run and long-run cross-elasticity of Chile's softwood log import demands with respect to American's softwood log import prices were highly elastic at 2.442 and 4.462 respectively. Long-run elasticity was almost twice as high as short-run elasticity.

As security log plays important roles in various fields, the integrity of log data become more and more important. Especially, the stored log data is an immediate target of the intruder to erase his trace in the system penetrated. Several theoretical schemes to guarantee the forward secure integrity have been proposed, even though they cannot provide the integrity of the log data after the system is penetrated. Authentication tags of these methods are based on the linear-hash chain. In this case, it is difficult to run partial validation and to accelerate generating and validating authentication tags. In this paper, we propose a log authentication mechanism, based on Mekle Tree, which is easy to do partial validation and able to apply multi threading.

Electrical conductivity of $CdO-La_2O_3$ system containing 0.8mol% of CdO was measured from 500 to $900^{\circ}C$ at oxygen partial pressures of $10^{-7}\;to\;10^{-1}$ atm. Plots of log ${\sigma}$ vs. 1/T at constant $PO_2$ are found to be linear and the activation energy appears to be 0.97eV. The log ${\sigma}$vs. log $PO_2$ is found to be linear at oxygen pressures of $10^{-7}\;to\;10^{-1}$ atm and $500{\sim}900^{\circ}C$. The conductivity dependence on $PO_2$ at the above temperature range is given by ${\sigma}\;{\alpha}\;PO_2^{1/4}$. The defect structure in this system is believed to be complex, i.e., ${V_{La}}^{'''}$ and $V\"{o}$. The interpretations of conductivity dependences on temperature and $PO_2$ are presented and conduction mechanism is proposed to explain the data.

The electrical conductuctivity measurements have been made on polycrystalline samples of various compositions in the $MgO-TiO_2$ system from 600 to $1100^{\circ}C$ under $Po_2$'s of $10^{-8}\;to\;10^{-1}$atm. Plots of log ${\sigma}$ vs. 1/T at constant $Po_2$ are found to be linear with the inflections, and the activation energies are 1.94eV for the intrinsic range and 0.48eV for the extrinsic range, respectively. The log ${\sigma}$ vs. log $Po_2$ curves are found to be linear at constant temperature, and the conductivity dependences of $Po_2$ are closely approximated by ${\sigma}\;{\alpha}\;Po_2^{-1/6}$ for the extrinsic and ${\sigma}\;{\alpha}\;Po_2^{-1/4}$ for the intrinsic range, respectively. The dominant defects in this system are believed to be oxygen vacancy for the extrinsic and $Ti^{3-}$ interstitial for the intrinsic range. The conduction mechanisms in both the extrinsic and the intrinsic ranges are proposed by the results of the electrical conductivity dependence on the oxygen partial pressure. Polaron model was suggested in the extrinsic region by the conductivity dependences of temperature and $Po_2$.

Gaussian error distributions are a common choice in traditional regression models for the maximum likelihood (ML) method. However, this distributional assumption is often suspicious especially when the error distribution is skewed or has heavy tails. In both cases, the ML method under normality could break down or lose efficiency. In this paper, we consider the log-concave and Gaussian scale mixture distributions for error distributions. For the log-concave errors, we propose to use a smoothed maximum likelihood estimator for stable and faster computation. Based on this, we perform comparative simulation studies to see the performance of coefficient estimates under normal, Gaussian scale mixture, and log-concave errors. In addition, we also consider real data analysis using Stack loss plant data and Korean labor and income panel data.

Consider the risk score which is a function of a linear score for the classification models. The AUC optimization method can be applied to estimate the coefficients of linear score. These estimates obtained by this AUC approach method are shown to be better than the maximum likelihood estimators using logistic models under the general situation which does not fit the logistic assumptions. In this work, the VUS and HUM approach methods are suggested by extending AUC approach method for more realistic discrimination and prediction worlds. Some simulation results are obtained with both various distributions of thresholds and three kinds of link functions such as logit, complementary log-log and modified logit functions. It is found that coefficient prediction results by using the VUS and HUM approach methods for multiple categorical classification are equivalent to or better than those by using logistic models with some link functions.

It has been observed that the linear relationship between the logarithm of bioconcentration factor (log BCF) of highly hydrophobic chemicals and their log $K_{ow}$ breaks when log $K_{ow}$ becomes greater than 6.0. Consequently, super hydrophobic chemicals were not thought to cause baseline toxicity as a single compound. Researchers often call this phenomenon as "hydrophobicity cutoff" meaning that bioconcentration or corresponding baseline toxicity has a certain cutoff at high log $K_{ow}$ value of hydrophobic organic pollutants. The underlying assumption is that the increased molecular size with increasing hydrophobicity prohibits highly hydrophobic compounds from crossing biological membranes. However, there are debates among scientists about mechanisms and at which log $K_{ow}$ this phenomenon occurs. This paper reviews three hypotheses to explain observed "cutoff": steric effects, kinetic or physiological limitations, and chemical activity cutoff. Although the critical molecular size that makes biological membranes not permeable to hydrophobic organic chemicals is uncertain, size effects in combination with kinetic limitation would explain observed non-linearity between log BCF and log $K_{ow}$. Chemical activity of hydrophobic chemicals generally decreases with increasing melting point at their aqueous solubility. Thus, there may be a chemical activity cutoff of baseline toxicity if there is a critical chemical activity over which baseline effects can be observed.
