In this paper, we develop the noninformative priors for the common shape parameter in the gamma distributions. We develop the matching priors and reveal that the second order matching prior does not exist. It turns out that the one-at-a-time reference prior and the two group reference prior satisfy a first order probability matching criterion. Some simulation study is peformed.

A new SPWM control method for Uninterrupted Power System(UPS) is presented. A triangle waveform is used as the reference signal. The desired SPWM control signal can be obtained more easily with a group of comparators. The output AC voltage can be regulated by controlling the lower reference and the upper reference of the comparators according to the feedback voltage. Basic principle, an actual circuit and the experimental results on a 500W UPS for computer system is discussed as an example.

This paper considers development of noninformative priors for the familial data when the families have equal number of offspring. Several noninformative priors including the widely used Jeffreys' prior as well as the different reference priors are derived. Also, a simultaneously-marginally-probability-matching prior is considered and probability matching priors are derived when the parameter of interest is inter- or intra-class correlation coefficient. The simulation study implemented by Gibbs sampler shows that two-group reference prior is slightly edge over the others in terms of coverage probability.

The purpose of this study was to understand the Korean teenagers\` clothing behavior through pointing out the factors that clothing behavior of teenagers that was initiated from the important reference group, TV stars. The subject of this study were 570 purposively selected students at female middle and high school students in Seoul. The results were as follows : 1. The clothing conformity to TV stars relating to demographic variables was influenced significantly by location and personal expense variable in the high school group. 2. The exhibition showed a more important role to the clothing conformity in middle school group than in high school group. 3. The clothing conformity to TV stars relating to the clothing related variables was significantly affected by self-confidence to clothing than clothing normative recognition, clothing risk recognition and degree of clothing importance regardless of groups. 4. The clothing conformity to TV stars relating to TV media variables was affected by TV media star identification variable in both groups. And in case of middle school group, interests in TV stars also had influence on the clothing conformity to TV stars. And in case of high school group, interests in TV had effect on the imitation to TV stars\` clothing. As middle school students tend to have self-identification about a particular person, TV media stars become the reference group for the adolescence to follow their clothing.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to estimate validity of posterior anterior cephalometric and 3D-CT for orbital canting analysis. Materials and methods: Three trained observers classified two patients group using standardized frontal photographs of facial asymmetry patients. Group A consisted of patients with facial asymmetry and orbital canting(n=19), and group B consisted of patients with only facial asymmetry(n=43). Orbital canting was measured with line of bilateral inferior orbitale. Orbital canting measurement was done with posterior anterior cephalometric and 3D-CT. Each horizontal reference line was established by bilateral GWSO(cephalometric), FZS(3D-CT). Maxillary canting and mandibular deviation angle were also measured and analyzed with orbital canting. Results: The mean orbital canting was $3.03{\pm}1.00^{\circ}$ in Group A and $1.11{\pm}0.76^{\circ}$ in Group B in frontal photograph. The mean orbital canting was $1.20{\pm}0.74^{\circ}$ in group A and $1.22{\pm}0.65^{\circ}$ in group B by cephalometric analysis(p>0.05). In 3D-CT, orbital canting was almost paralleled with horizontal reference line. The orbital canting, maxillay canting and mandibular deviation between two groups showed no significant differences except madibular deviation in 3D-CT. Conclusion: Common analysis of posterior anterior cephalometric and 3D-CT is not valide method to evaluate orbital canting for facial asymmetry patients with orbital canting.

The purpose of this study is to suggest some fundamental data for the welfare of consumers by investigation some characteristics of the housewives and their attitudes toward a famous brand. For the purpose of this study, the samples were distributed to houswives who lived in Seoul. The 493 data obtained were analyzed by frequency distribution, percentile, $X^2$-test, t-test, F-test, Pearson's correlation, Duncan's multiple range test and Stepwise multiple regression analysis. The major finding were follows ; The major finding were follows ; 1) In general the score for the brand preference of the housewives was somewhat high. There were significant differences between the brand preference of the housewives and the socio-demographic, reference group variables. 2) There were significant differences between the brand image of housewives and the socio-demographic, reference group variables 3) In general the score for the dissatisfaction of the housewives was somewhat low. There were significant differences between the dissatisfaction the housewives and the socio-demographic variables. 4) The brand preference of the housewives had a positive relationship with the level of their dissatisfaction. 5) The most influential variables for the brand preference of the housewives was in the rank of reference group, income, education level.

The main aim of study is to identify the factors that affect the purchasing intention of young adults. The reference group is an important factor in determining the underlying causes of young adults' purchasing intentions. However, the literature states that young adults prefer to buy brands they trust in order to eliminate the risks that may arise when buying products they may not know. Moving from this perspective, the study proposes a conceptual model that including structural relationships between brand trust, reference group, and purchasing intention. The study aims to contribute to the literature by discussing the moderator role of brand trust in this structure. A series of hypotheses are tested via a survey completed by 749 young people between the ages of 20 and 30 living in Istanbul, Turkey. The data were analyzed with IBM SPSS-23 and AMOS-18 program. In addition to descriptive, reliability, and factor (exploratory and confirmatory) analysis, hierarchical regression analysis was performed to test the research hypotheses. The results show that the reference group positively influences the purchasing intention, and brand trust plays a moderating role in this relationship. The findings are discussed and some practical suggestions are made for mobile phone manufacturers.

We report results of selection-bias-free approaches to the analysis of the impact of open access (OA) models on citation metrics. We studied reference groups of Gold and Green OA articles and the group of non-OA (Paywall) articles with the new functionality of the Web of Science Core Collection database, the InCites platform of Clarivate Analytics, and the Dimensions database of Digital Science. For each reference group we obtained the values of the percent of cited articles and citation impact and their dependence on the depth of the citation period. Different research fields were analyzed in two schemas of the InCites platform. We report the higher values and growth rates of the citation metrics: citation impact and %Cited, in the OA reference groups over the Paywall group. The Green OA articles demonstrate the highest values of citation metrics among all the OA models. Dependence of the value of citation impact on citation period follows linear law with R2 values close to 0.9-1.0. The overall annual growth rates of citation impact of the Green OA, Gold OA, and the Paywall articles, k equal, respectively, 3.6, 2.4, and 1.4 in Dimensions and 4.6, 3.6, and 2.3 in the Web of Science Core Collection. We suppose that earlier results reported for the articles in pure OA journals vs. articles in Paywall journals were affected by the high citation impact of the Green and Hybrid OA articles that could not be elucidated in the Paywall journals at that time.

RAST-F is a new full-core analysis code based on the two-step approach that couples a multi-group cross-section generation Monte-Carlo code MCS and a multi-group nodal diffusion solver. To demonstrate the feasibility of using MCS/RAST-F for fast reactor analysis, this paper presents the coupled nodal code verification results for the MET-1000 and CAR-3600 benchmark cores. Three different multi-group cross-section calculation schemes are employed to improve the agreement between the nodal and reference solutions. The reference solution is obtained by the MCS code using continuous-energy nuclear data. Additionally, the MCS/RAST-F nodal solution is verified with results based on cross-section generated by collision probability code TULIP. A good agreement between MCS/RAST-F and reference solution is observed with less than 120 pcm discrepancy in k_eff and less than 1.2% root-mean-square error in power distribution. This study confirms the two-step approach MCS/RAST-F as a reliable tool for the three-dimensional simulation of reactor cores with fast spectrum.
