Phase I clinical trials are often pharmacologically oriented and usually attempt to find the best dose of drug to employ. However, other purposes like determination of sizes and types of side effects and toxicity and organ system involved are equally important. Estimation of treatment effects or side effects is usually ignored since it is usually based on too small sample, even though Phase II clinical trials would be designed based on the Phase I studies. Statistical methods for constructing the approximate confidence interval for population median in case of small sample are considered and an improved method is proposed. The proposed estimator is compared with current methods through simulation studies.

${\alpha}$-크리스토발라이트 구조의 $GaPO_4$에 대한 고압 x-선 회절 실험을 상온에서 8.9 GPa까지 시행하였다. 정방정계에 속하는 출발결정구조는 1 GPa 이하의 압력에서 회절피크가 분리되는 변화를 보이는데, 아마도 망상구조를 이루고 있는 사면체의 방향성이 압력에 의해 흐트러지면서 상-I'로 상변이가 유도된 것 같다. 압력을 증가시키면, 상-I'는 2 GPa와 3 GPa 사이에서 정방정계에 속하는 고압상(상-III)으로 상변이를 하고 있다. 이 결과는 최근 동일한 시료를 이용하여 얻은 고압실험결과(Ming et al., 2007)와 일치하지 않는다. 최고압력에 도달한 다음, 압력을 대기압으로 내리면 상-III이 그대로 유지되는 것으로 나타났다.

Geometric charts are effective in monitoring the fraction nonconforming in high-quality processes. The in-control fraction nonconforming is unknown in most actual processes; therefore, it should be estimated using the Phase I sample. However, if the Phase I sample size is small the practitioner may not achieve the desired in-control performance because estimation errors can occur when the parameters are estimated. Therefore, in this paper, we adjust the control limits of geometric charts with the bootstrap algorithm to improve the in-control performance of charts with smaller sample sizes. The simulation results show that the adjustment with the bootstrap algorithm improves the in-control performance of geometric charts by controlling the probability that the in-control average run length has a value greater than the desired one. The out-of-control performance of geometric charts with adjusted limits is also discussed.

Contents of vitamin $D_3$ and 25-OH-vitamin $D_3$ in marine animal products(20 species) were determined by HPLC. The isomers of vitamin D, $D_2$ and $D_3$, were not clearly separated on a reversed phase, ${\mu}$ Bonda Pak, with 20% methanol-acetonitrile, and on a normal phase, Zorbax SIL. with 0.4% isopropanol-hexane, but 25-OH-vitamin $D_2$ and-$D_3$ were separated on either ${\mu}$ Bonda Pak with 10% methanol-acetonitrile, or on Zorbax SIL with 2.2% isopropanol-hexane, respectively. Although levels of vitamin $D_3$ and 25-OH-vitamin $D_3$ varied remarkably according to species, their average value(fish : $l,l87{sim}36,007$ I.U/sample 100g, mussel : $58{\sim}1,706$ I.U/sample 100g, pickle: $1,208{\sim}79,358$ I.U/sample 100g) was greatly higher than that of meat($80{\sim}100$ I.U/sample 100g) and dairy products($400{\sim}800$ I.U/sample 100g). Fatty tissues of fish and pickled fish intestines contained high level of vitamin $D_3$ and 25-OH-vitamin $D_3$, while the clam and mussel known to have various kinds of sterol including ${\Delta}^7$-sterol showed very low levels of vitamin $D_3$ and its derivative.

Three phase hollow fiber-liquid phase microextraction (HF-LPME), which is faster, simpler and uses a more environmentally friendly sample-preparation technique, was developed for the analysis of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) in human urine. For the effective simultaneous extraction/concentration of NSAIDs by three phase HF-LPME, parameters (such as extraction organic solvent, pH of donor/acceptor phase, stirring speed, salting-out effect, sample temperature, and extraction time) which influence the extraction efficiency were optimized. NSAIDs were extracted and concentrated from 4 mL of aqueous solution at pH 3 (donor phase) into dihexyl ether immobilized in the wall pores of a porous hollow fiber, and then extracted into the acceptor phase at pH 13 located in the lumen of the hollow fiber. After the extraction, 5 ${\mu}L$ of the acceptor phase was directly injected into the HPLC/UV system. Simultaneous chromatographic separation of seven NSAIDs was achieved on an Eclipse XDB-C18 (4.6 mm i.d. ${\times}$ 150 mm length, 5 ${\mu}m$ particle size) column using isocratic elution with 0.1% formic acid and methanol (30:70) at a HPLC-UV/Vis system. Under optimized conditions (extraction solvent, dihexyl ether; $pH_{donor}$, 3; $pH_{acceptor}$, 13; stirring speed, 1500 rpm; NaCl salt, 10%; sample temperature, $60^{\circ}C$; and extraction time, 45 min), enrichment factors (EF) were between 59 and 260. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) in the spiked urine matrix were in the concentration range of 5-15 ng/mL and 15-45 ng/mL, respectively. The relative recovery and precision obtained were between 58 and 136% and below 15.7% RSD, respectively. The calibration curve was linear within the range of 0.015-0.96 ng/mL with the square of the correlation coefficient being more than 0.997. The established method can be used to analyse of NSAIDs of low concentration (ng/mL) in urine.

In this study, porcelain insulator samples which have a different alumina composition were manufactured in order to test electrical and mechanical properties and make an analysis of the propagation phenomena of micro cracks on porcelain body. From XRD quantitative analysis the crystalline phases were different with alumina composition, sample C and D which have about 17wt% Corundum phase without the Cristobalite phase shows better electrical and mechanical properties than sample A and 8 which have the Cristobalite phase. In dielectrics test on porcelain samples with below 17wt% alumina composition, it was found that the amount of glass phase$(SiO_2)$have an main effect to decrease the dielectric loss$(tan{\delta})$, and the dielectric breakdown voltage of aluminous porcelain insulators was largely affected by its relative density. As a micro cracks analysis, HRS were measured, then the intensity of HRS increased with the amount of alumina composition. On the other hand, the propagation behaviors of cracks was fairly influenced by the distribution of pores.

Purposes: This study examined uncertainty and nursing need according to illness phases(phase I, II, III) in cancer patients, and investigated relationships between uncertainty and nursing need. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with a sample of 121 adult cancer patients treated in two hospitals. Results: As for the total score, the uncertainty was not significantly different across the subgroups by illness phase. As for the subscale score, however, two sub-scales of the uncertainty were different across the subgroups. 'The unpredictability' was highest in illness phase I and II groups, while 'the lack of information' was highest in the illness phase III group. Nursing need as the total score was not significantly different across the subgroups by illness phase. However, all subscale scores of the nursing need were significantly different across the subgroups. Educational need was highest in the illness phase I group; physical and emotional needs were highest in the illness phase III group. Uncertainty and nursing need were not related to each other at any illness phase. Conclusion: The results suggest that nursing need and uncertainty may change across illness phases. Clinicians need to consider this pattern in caring for cancer patients.

CCC-r 관리도는 불량률이 매우 낮은 고품질 공정을 관리하는 데 효율적이라고 알려져 있다. 대부분의 공정에서 공정 모수의 값은 알려져 있지 않기 때문에 제1국면에서 이를 추정해야 하는데, 표본의 크기가 충분히 크지 않은 경우 추정 오차가 발생하여 원하는 관리상태에서의 성능을 만족하지 못하는 경우가 발생한다. 뿐만 아니라 제1국면에서 추출하는 표본에 따른 산포로 인하여 관리상태일 때의 성능의 산포 또한 커지게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 이 논문에서는 관리상태일 때 신호까지의 평균관측개수가 사전에 정한 확률로 목표하는 값보다 큰 값을 갖도록, 붓스트랩 알고리즘을 사용하여 CCC-r 관리도의 관리한계를 조정하는 절차를 제안하였다. 이때 고품질 공정에 적용하기 위하여 최대우도추정량 대신 베이즈추정량을 사용하여 불량률을 추정하였다. 다양한 상황에 대해 모의실험을 수행한 결과, 제안된 절차는 CCC-r 관리도의 관리상태 성능을 크게 향상시킴을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 HDR-WPAN 시스템에 적합한 주파수 옵셋 보상과 누적 위상오차를 개선할 수 있는 트래킹 알고리즘을 제안하고 이에 대해 분석하였다. 주파수 옵셋 보상 알고리즘은 CAZAC sequence의 자기상관 특성을 이용하여 각 심벌 내 샘플 간 위상오차를 통해 coarse 주파수 옵셋과 fine 주파수 옵셋을 추정하게 된다. 그러나 HDR-WPAN 시스템은 payload에 pilot 심벌이 없기 때문에 payload 길이가 길어질수록 샘플 간 미소 위상오차가 누적되어 수신단의 성상도가 회전하게 된다. 따라서 트래킹 알고리즘을 통해 틀어진 누적 위상오차를 보상해야 한다. 트래킹은 성상도내 들어온 신호가 일정 영역을 벗어나게 되면, 벗어난 만큼의 크기 ${\theta}$을 곱해 누적된 미소 위상오차를 보상하게 된다.

The Korean government has regulated emission of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in waste water of manufacturing facilities producing chlorinated compounds since 2009. As this regulation is expected to be reinforced in 2013 to 50 pg I-TEQ/L, a large sample volume is required for the analysis of trace amounts of PCDD/Fs in waste water. Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) is used to extract PCDD/Fs from aqueous samples; however, its low efficiency makes it inadequate for analyzing large sample volumes. Herein, we present a disk-type solid-phase extraction (SPE) method for the analysis of dioxin at a part per quadrillion level in waste water. This SPE system contains airtight glass covers with a decompression pump, which enables continuous semi-automated extraction. Small (0.5 L) and large (7 L) samples were extracted using LLE and SPE methods, respectively. The method detection limits (MDLs) were 0.001.0.25 and 0.015.4.1 pg I-TEQ/L for the SPE and LLE methods, respectively. The concentrations of detected congeners with both methods were similar. However, the concentrations of several congeners that were not detected with the LLE method were quantified using the SPE method.
