The difference of two one-sided kernel estimators is usually used to detect the location of the discontinuity points of regression function. The large absolute value of the statistic imply discontinuity of regression function, so we may use the difference of two one-sided kernel estimators as the test statistic for testing null hypothesis of a smooth regression function. The problem is, however, we only know the asymptotic distribution of the test statistic under $H_0$ and we hardly expect the good performance of test if we rely solely on the asymptotic distribution for determining the critical points. In this paper, we show that if we adjust the bias of test statistic properly, the asymptotic rules hold for even small sample size situation.

The association between glutathione-S-transferase polymorphisms (GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1) and risk of acute leukemia in Asians remains controversial. This study was therefore designed to evaluate the precise association in 23 studies identified by a search of PubMed and several other databases, up to December 2013. Using random or fixed effects models odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Heterogeneity across studies was assessed, and funnel plots were constructed to test for publication bias. The meta-analysis showed positive associations between GST polymorphisms (GSTM1 and GSTT1 but not GSTP1) and acute leukemia risk [(OR=1.47, 95% CI 1.18-1.83); (OR=1.32, 95% CI 1.07-1.62); (OR=1.01, 95% CI 0.84-1.23), respectively] and heterogeneity between the studies. The results suggested that the GSTM1 null genotype and GSTT1null genotype, but not the GSTP1 polymorphism, might be a potential risk factors for acute leukemia. Further well-designed studies are needed to confirm our findings.

본 논문에서는 상용 트랜스미터 칩과 패치 어레이 안테나를 결합하여 60 GHz 대역에서 동작하는 능동 안테나 모듈을 설계, 제작하였다. 설계된 모듈은 안테나 PCB와 트랜스미터 칩이 장착된 송신 모듈 PCB가 결합되는 구조로 하였다. 주파수 제어신호 및 바이어스 제어신호는 아두이노 키트를 사용하여 인가하였으며, 기저대역의 I/Q 신호가 트랜스미터 칩으로 인가될 수 있도록 하였다. 송신 모듈의 출력은 단일 출력으로 안테나에 연결되므로 차동 출력을 내는 트랜스미터 칩의 출력을 링 하이브리드 발룬에 전달하고, 이를 초소형 상용 커넥터로 $2{\times}4$ 마이크로스트립 패치 어레이 안테나 PCB로 전달되도록 하였다. 최종 출력되는 밀리미터파 신호의 방사패턴 측정을 통하여 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교하는 방식으로 확인하였다. 제작된 능동 안테나 모듈의 방사패턴 측정 결과, 3 dB 빔폭과 null 포인트의 위치가 시뮬레이션 결과와 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.

Objective: Epidemiology studies have reported conflicting results between glutathione S-transferase Mu-1 (GSTM1), glutathione S-transferase theta-1 (GSTT1) and glutathione S-transferase pi-1 (GSTP1) and ovarian cancer (OC) susceptibility. In this study, an updated meta-analysis was applied to determine whether the deletion of GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1 has an influence on OC susceptibility. Methods: A published literature search was performed through PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Science Citation Index Expanded database for articles published in English. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) were calculated using random or fixed effects models. Heterogeneity between studies was assessed using the Cochrane Q test and $I^2$ statistics. Sub-group analysis was conducted to explore the sources of heterogeneity. Sensitivity analysis was employed to evaluate the respective influence of each study on the overall estimate. Results: In total, 10 published studies were included in the final analysis. The combined analysis revealed that there was no significant association between GSTM1 null genotype and OC risk (OR=1.01, 95%CI: 0.91-1.12). Additionally, there was no significant association between GSTT1 genetic polymorphisms and OC risk (OR=0.98, 95% CI: 0.85-1.13). Similalry, no significant associations were found concerning the GSTP1 rs1695 locus and OC risk. Meanwhile, subgroup analysis did not show a significant increase in eligible studies with low heterogeneity. However, sensitivity analysis, publication bias and cumulative analysis demonstrated the reliability and stability of the current meta-analysis. Conclusions: These findings suggest that GSTs genetic polymorphisms may not contribute to OC susceptibility. Large epidemiological studies with the combination of GSTM1 null, GSTT1 null and GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphisms and more specific histological subtypes of OC are needed to prove our findings.

ISFET을 측정할 때 다채널 센서를 이용하면 신뢰도를 향상시킬 수 있고 노이즈를 제거할 수 있다. 향후 하나의 소자를 이용하여 여러 가지 이온을 측정할 수 있는 센서를 제조하기 위해서도 다채널 센서는 반드시 필요한 과정이다. 그러나 다채널 센서를 개발시 각 센서에 개별적으로 바이어스를 인가한다면 센서의 개수만큼 바이어스 회로가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 영전위회로에 스위칭방식을 도입하여 4개의 pH-ISFET을 바이어스 하는 방식을 제안하였다. 제안된 회로는 4개의 센서에 대해 단지 하나의 바이어스 회로가 필요하므로 개별적인 바이어스 인가방식에 비해 전력을 적게 소모하며 적은 면적에 구현할 수 있다. 제안된 회로는 이산소자를 이용하여 성능을 검증하였다. 또한 최근 센서시스템이 휴대화 되어지는 경향에 따라 검증된 바이어스 회로를 CMOS를 이용하여 집적화 하였다. 설계된 바이어스 회로의 마스크 면적은 $660{\mu}m{\times}500{\mu}m$이다. ISFET은 반도체 집적회로 공정에 의해 제조되므로 향후 CMOS를 이용한 신호처리 회로와 함께 하나의 칩에 집적화 하여 다기능, 다채널, 그리고 지능형의 스마트센서 시스템으로 개발되어져야 바람직할 것이다.

Capacitance versus voltage (C-V) characteristics of Ge-nanocrystal (NC)-embedded metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitors with $HfO_2$ gate material were investigated in this work. The current versus voltage (I-V) curves obtained from Ge-NC-embedded MOS capacitors fabricated with the $NH_3$ annealed $HfO_2$ gate material reveal the reduction of leakage current, compared with those of MOS capacitors fabricated with the $O_2$ annealed $HfO_2$ gate material. The C-V curves of the Ge-NC-embedded MOS capacitor with $HfO_2$ gate material annealed in $NH_3$ ambient exhibit counterclockwise hysteresis loop of about 3.45 V memory window when bias voltage was varied from -10 to + 10 V. The observed hysteresis loop indicates the presence of charge storages in the Ge NCs caused by the Fowler-Nordheim (F-N) tunneling. In addition, capacitance versus time characteristics of Ge-NC-embedded MOS capacitors with $HfO_2$ gate material were analyzed to investigate their retention property.

In this work, the etch characteristics of $VO_2$ thin films were investigated using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) of $Cl_2/Ar$ gas mixtures. To analyze the plasma characteristics, a quadrupole mass spectrometer (QMS), an optical emission spectroscopy (OES), and a Langmuir probe measuring system were used. The surface reaction of the $VO_2$ thin films was investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was found that an increase in Ar fraction in the $Cl_2/Ar$ plasma at fixed gas pressure, input power, and bias power resulted in increasing $VO_2$ etch rate which reached a maximum value of 87.6 nm/min at 70-75 % Ar. It was confirmed that the etch rate of the $VO_2$ films was mainly controlled by the ion flux. On the basis of measuring results, we will discuss possible etching mechanism of $VO_2$ film in the $Cl_2/Ar$ plasma.

Purpose - The Export Infrastructure Strengthening Program(EISP) is a project to expand exports of agri-food products through providing customized export information to food distribution companies and supporting overseas information activities. A total of 39.6 billion won was provided by 2016. So, the purpose of this study is to analyze whether EISP is effective for expanding exports of agri-food products. Research design, data, and methodology - A simple average difference between the export performance of the policy beneficiaries and the non-policy beneficiaries can be biased if the export capacity or inherent characteristics of the enterprise are not taken into consideration. In order to solve the problem of such a bias, the propensity score matching(PSM) method has been employed in this study. PSM is a method of converting the characteristics of an export company into an index through logit analysis and then reducing the matching to one dimension to improve the accuracy of the performance measurement. Results - The balancing test was conducted to determine how the characteristics of the policy beneficiary group and the matched policy non-beneficiary group corresponded to each other. As a result of the test, we could not reject the null hypothesis that there was no difference between the two groups, so that after the matching, the two groups were similar and the explanatory variables were well controlled. Using the nearest neighbor matching with propensity score estimating through logit analysis, we estimated average treatment effect on the treated(ATT). The food companies participating the EISP had the effect of increasing the exports of $ 5.88 million. As a result, the number of export contracts increased by 11.77, the number of exporting countries by 7.52, the number of export items by 47.51, and the number of buyers' consultation by 3.50. And overseas marketing expenses increased by 35.92 million won. Except for the number of export contracts, other export performance results showed statistically significant results. Conclusions - As the EISP has a positive effect on the expansion of agro-food exports, efforts should be made to find out the limitations or problems of the policy in the future and to make a greater contribution to the increase of exports.
