The International Myeloma Working Group considers the serum free light chain (SFLC) assay to be an adjunct to traditional tests. Apart from the FLC ratio, the absolute values of individual free light chains also are gaining importance as they appear to be more relevant in certain clinical settings. Automated assays are available for their determination. As laboratories put new test systems into use catering to different disease populations, they are required by accreditation and certification bodies to verify or establish performance specifications, including reference intervals (RIs) representative of their population. Our aim was to establish local RIs for SFLC in a multicentre representative healthy population using a robust method. There was no significant relationship between SFLC levels and age, gender and creatinine levels. The 95% RI for ${\kappa}SFLC$ was 4.81 to 33.86mg/L, for ${\lambda}$ SFLC was 5.19 to 23.67mg/L and for ${\kappa}/{\lambda}SFLC$ was 0.36 to 2.33, significantly higher than the values given by the manufacturer. The ${\kappa}/{\lambda}$ SFLC ratio at 2.23, covering 100% of the data, showed 72% sensitivity (95% CI=39.0 - 94.0), 100% specificity (95% CI=71.5 - 100.0), 100% PPV (95% CI=21.5 - 100.0), 95% NPV (95% CI=75.4 - 99.9), and 79% accuracy (95% CI=56.0 - 93.0). In the patient group, kit RI for ${\kappa}/{\lambda}$ SFLC ratio classified 45.5% (n=5) as positive vs 9.1% (n=1) positive by the study RI, while the kit RI for kappa FLC classified 90.9% (n=10) as positive vs 54.5% (n=6), indicating increased probability of false positive test results with the kit RI when applied to our patient population. Appropriate and specific reference intervals and criteria values result in fewer false-positive and false-negative results which means fewer wrong or missed diagnoses.

This experiment were conducted to determine the formation of fatty acid soaps, digestibility and ruminal characteristics when vegetable oils were added. Three Corriedale${\times}$ 3 Latin square design. Sheep were fed one of three diets consisting of alfalfa hay and concentrates in a ratio of 70:30. Dietary treatments were 1) no oil, 2) 7% soybean oil and 3) 7% corn oil. At the end of each experimental period, rumen contents from each sheep were collected before feeding and at 1, 3, 6 and 9h after feeding. pH decreased up to the 3 hour after feeding and increased until the end of the collection(p<0.0001). Whereas the concentration of $NH_3$-N showed inverse changes to pH(p<0.0001). Type of oil did not affect the molar concentration of total VFA, acetate, propionate and butyrate. Acetic/propionic acid (A/P) ratio decreased with increasing time(P<0.0001), but the ratio at the end of the experiment became similar to the initial value. No effects were found in the digestibility of dry matter, total-N, crude fiber, ash, NFE, NDF and ADF. The formation of fatty acid soaps(FAS) increased after feeding than 1 hour before feeding(P<0.05) and increased in 7% oils than no oil addition(P<0.05). Long chain fatty acids formed mainly FAS. ince the formation of FAS might decrease negative effects on ruminal haracteristics and total tract digestibility.

A conceptual design of a three-surface strike fighter was studied and stealth performance was taken into account to enhance survivability and battle effectiveness. CATIA was used to design the aircraft's three-dimensional prototype model and the weapon carriage arrangement was also studied. The aircraft's RCS characteristics and distributions under X, S, C, and L bands were simulated using the RCSPlus software, which is based on the PO method. Pressure and velocity distributions of the flow field were also simulated using CFD. A turbulence model was based on standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ function and N-S functions were used during the CFD computation. Lift coefficients, drag coefficients, and lift-to-drag ratio were obtained by aerodynamic simulation. The results showed that: (1) the average value of head-on RCS between ${\pm}30^{\circ}$ is below -3.197 dBsm, and (2) the lift coefficient is 0.34674, the drag coefficient is 0.04275, and the lift-to-drag ratio is 8.11087 when the attack angle is $2.5^{\circ}$.

A high-aspect-ratio and high-resolution stainless steel shadow mask for organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) circuit has been fabricated by a new method which combines photochemical machining, micro-electrical discharge machining (micro-EDM), and electrochemical etching (ECE). First, connection lines and source-drain holes are roughly machined by photochemical etching, and then the part of source and drain holes is finished by the combination of micro-EDM and ECE processes. Using this method a $100\;\mu{m}$ thick stainless steel (AISI 304) shadow mask for inverter can be fabricated with the channel length of $30\;\mu{m}\;and\;10\;\mu{m}\;respectively.\;The\;width\;of\;connection line\;is\;150\;\mu{m}$. The aspect ratio of the wall is about 5 and 15, respectively. Metal lines and source-drain electrodes of OTFTs were successfully deposited through the fabricated shadow mask.

This paper presents the vibration characteristics and the optimization using the orthogonal array about applied composite optical structure of an aircraft. To acquire the vibration characteristics for stable line of sight, modal analysis are performed by using multi-body program ADAMS. And to optimize optical structure, for design variables were selected, larger-the-better characteristics were considered using results of S/N ratio and orthogonal array $L_9(3^4)$. When bearing constraints are selected, radial, axial and moment stiffness value are used to analysis for optimization until now. But B.S.R which is non-dimensional parameter is proposed, structures including bearings can be used for optimization. And then having a result of lager-the-better, the optimized values of each design variable were successfully suggested.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the crystal texture of the 2223 phase and its relationship with PIT processing parameter. Ag-sheathed Bi-2223 multi-filament tapes were prepared by changing rolling reduction ratio. We analysed the degree of texture for 2223 phase after heat-treatment. According to X-ray pole-figure, the texture of the filaments located near surface and center were not so different each other for all rolling conditions. we found a little higher degree of texture for 60% rolling reduction. But its difference is not so high compared with those tapes with a lower rolling reduction ratio. Reaction induced texturing seemed to contribute with a large portion under present condition.

This study was performed to compare the effect of enrichement of rotifer and Artemia fed marine bacteria (Erythrobacter sp. S$\pi$-1) with those fed the different diets-(Super Selco, $\omega$-yeast and marine Chlorella) on the slime flounder larvae, Microstomus achne. Because the ratio of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to fatty acids in rotifer (dry weight $\%$) fed on Super Selco and ESP-SR including Erythrobacter sp. S$\pi$-1 was higher than that in rotifer fed marine Chlorella, the growth of the slime larvae fed the former showed better than the latter. And the ratio of DHA and highly unsaturated fatty acid (n-3 HUFA) to fatty acids in Artemia (dry weight $\%$) enriched by ESP-A including Erythrobacter sp. S$\pi$-1 were also higher than those in Artemia enriched by others or Artemia without enrichment. Larvae fed on Artemia enriched by ESP-A showed better growth and survival rate than those fed on Artemia enriched by others or Artemia without enrichment. With regard to dietary value of Erythrobacter sp. S$\pi$-1, its use could improve the quality of the live foods for the slime flounder larvae.

Process conditions of a novel negative thick photoresist, JSR THB-$430N^{(R)}$, are established in this paper. Although SU-8 obtains uniform and high-aspect-ratio structures, it is hard to remove the SU-8 mold after electroplating. The JSR THB-$430N^{(R)}$ can be more easily removed than the SU-8 and has a low internal stress. Introducing two step strip processes using acetone and the jSR THB-$S1^{(R)}$, the JSR THB-$430N^{(R)}$ electroplating mold was removed completely and a JSR THB-$430N^{(R)}$ film stress is compressive less than 2 MPa. In this paper, we obatined $200{\mu}m$ thick PR structure and $100{\mu}m$ thick electroplated nickel structure using the JSR THB-$430N^{(R)}$ photoresist.

This study has been carried out to evaluate gaseous nitrocarburizing treatment undertaken for pure iron at $570^{\circ}C$ in an atmosphere containing 50% endothermic gas, generated from natural gas, and 50% ammonia. The results obtained from the experiment are as follows ; 1) The microstructure of gaseous nitrocarburized pure iron consists of the compound layer on the surface and the diffusion zone beneath it. The compound layer progresses uniformly into ferrite with a thickness of $20{\mu}$ obtained after treating for 3 hours. 2) Chemical analysis has shown that the compound layer has a C/N ratio of 0.19 and that the average combined interstitial content of the compound layer is about 30 atomic percent, which is close to the lower limit of the ${\varepsilon}$-carbonitride phase field in Fe-C-N phase diagram. 3) X-ray diffraction analysis has revealed that the compound layer consists mainly of the c.p.h. phase, ${\varepsilon}-Fe_3$(C.N) and a small amount of $Fe_4N$ and traces of ferrite are also present in the compound layer. 4) The microhardness of the compound layer is about 600 V.H.N and shows a relatively sharp fall-off at the compound layer/diffusion zome interface. 5) The average actual degree of ammonia dissociation is calculated to be 27% for a gaseous nitrocarburizing treatment carried out at $570^{\circ}C$.
