Randomized response technique is a survey technique for eliminating evasive answer bias. This technique is popular in social survey for sensitive issues. In this paper we present a simple and obvious procedure for estimating the population proportion of a sensitive group. Here, we shows the weak point in the method of Kim and Warde (2005). Also, it is found that the proposed procedure is more efficient than the ones of Warner (1965) and Kim and Warde (2005). Lastly we discuss the conditions that the suggested method will be more efficienct.

The purpose of this study was to prepare thermo-sensitive solid-lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) with a lipid melted at human body temperature and to evaluate physicochemical properties of SLNs containing retinol. anti-wrinkle agent. as a model drug. SLNs were prepared using a high pressure homogenizing method. The SLNs were composed of retinol as a model drug. thermo-sensitive lipid (DS-CBS) as a lipid core. and egg phosphatidylcholine and Tween 80 as surfactants. Manufacturing variables such as homogenization pressure. (omitted)

Recombinant bioluminescent bacteria were used to monitor and classify the to xicity of azo dyes. Two constitutive bioluminescent bacteria, Photobacterium phosphoreum and Es-Cherichia coli, E, coli GC2 (lac::luxCOABE), were used to detect the cellular toxicity of the azo dyes. In addition, four stress-inducible bioluminestent E. coli, DPD2794 (recA::luxCDABE), a DNA damage Sensitive strain; DPD2540 (fabA::luxCDABE), a membrane damage sensitive strain; DPD2511 (katG::luxCDABE), an oxidative damage sensitive strain; and TV1061 (grpE::luxCDABE), a protein damage sensitive strain, were used to provide information about the type of toxicity caused by crystal violet, the most toxic dye of the 16 azo dyes tested. These results suggest that azo dyes result in serious cellular toxicity in bacteria, and that toxicity monitoring and classific ation of some azo dyes, In the field, may be possible using these recombinant bioluminescent bacteria.

Locality-sensitive hashing techniques have been developed to efficiently handle nearest neighbor searches and similar pair identification problems for large volumes of high-dimensional data. This study proposes a locality-sensitive hashing method that can be applied to nearest neighbor search problems for data sets containing both numerical and categorical attributes. The proposed method makes use of dual hashing functions, where one function is dedicated to numerical attributes and the other to categorical attributes. The method consists of creating indexing structures for each of the dual hashing functions, gathering and combining the candidates sets, and thoroughly examining them to determine the nearest ones. The proposed method is examined for a few synthetic data sets, and results show that it improves performance in cases of large amounts of data with both numerical and categorical attributes.

A total of 2,065 quarter milk samples of 534 dair cows from 35 herds were examined for mastis and the results obtained were as follows: 1. 654 quarters (31.6%) of 301 dairy cows (56.3%) from 34 herds (97.1%) were infected with mastitis. It was found that 8 cows (1.5%) showed clinical mastitis and other cows were subclinical. 2. Low infection rate of mastis was shown in first delivery cattle and higher infection rate in more deliverable of cattle. 3. The main causative organisms of the matitis were Staphylococcus aureus (19.4%), Streptococcus agalactiae (11.3%) and Streptococcus dysgalatiae (5%). 4. The majority of causative organisms were very resistant to colistin and highly sensitive to tetracycline. Especially Streptococcus strains were highly sensitive to leukomycin, and Staphylococcus aureus were highly sensitive to tetracycline and the other bacteria were highly sensitive to tetracycline and kanamycin.

Temperature-sensitive yeast mutants were used to screen for cell cycle-related genes from Pleurotus eryngii genomic DNA. A mushroom genomic DNA library was established and each gene was screened for the ability to rescue seven Saccharomyces cerevisiae temperature-sensitive strains. Hundreds of yeast transformants were selected at restrictive temperatures over $30^{\circ}C$. Plasmids from the transformants that survived were isolated and transformed back into their host strains. The temperature sensitivity of the resulting transformants was tested from $30^{\circ}C$ to $37^{\circ}C$. Ten DNA fragments from P. eryngii were able to rescue yeast temperature-sensitive strains, and their DNA sequences were determined.

It was investigated whether culture filtrates produced by X. fastiduosa could be used to determine varietal susceptibility in grape cultivars to anthracnose as a substitute for pathogen inoculation or field screening. Bioassay of grape leaves with culture filtrates showed that their phytotoxicities were active and host-selective. Ethyl acetate extracts from those also showed the toxicities and host selectivity among grape cultivars. The sensitive range of plants to culture filtrates and their ethyl acetate extracts was consistent with the host range to the pathogen. Susceptible cultivars were sensitive to even highly diluted culture filtrates but resistant cultivars were not affected even at original culture filtrates. Susceptible cultivars were sensitive to the undiluted culture filtrates than highly diluted culture filtrates and the younger leaves were the more sensitive to the culture filtrates and their ethyl acetate extracts in grapes.

생분해성인 Curdlan을 이용하여 pH 의존성 약물 전달계 개발을 위한 실험을 수행한 결과, pH 1,4에서 약물 방출 보다 pH 7.4에서 약물 방출이 10배 이상 증가하였다. 이러한 결과로 curdlan acetate microsphere는 pH 의존성 약물 전달계로 유용하다고 판단된다.

Since the advent of chemotherapy, certain types of cancer have been particularly resistant to chemotherapeutic treatment. One of the most well-studied types of resistance is resistance to multiple struc-turally dissimialr hydrophobic chemotherapeutic agents, or multidrug resistance (MDR). We found that MDR cells (KBV20C, KB7D) being highly resistant to colchicine, etoposide, and vincristine were found to have very low level of putrescine and low level of spermidine than the drug sensitive parental cells (KB) but they had almost same level of spermine as the drug sensitive cells. Although both MDR and drug sensitive cells had almost same rate of polyamine uptake, MDR cells were much more sensitive to an inhibitor of polyamine synthesis, methylglyoxal-bis guanylhydrazone (MGBG), suggesting that MDR cells might be defective in polyamine synthesis. These results also suggest that HGBG can be used for treatment of MDR in vivo.

In this paper we develop the web-based unified randomized response system for obtaining more reliable response to the sensitive characteristic such as a crime of violence at home, and a bribing and so on. This survey system embody to apply with from the classical to recently research, for example from the Warner's model to the 2-stage model. In addition, our survey system is able to link between the typical and the randomized response system. Finally, our survey system looks into a variation according to various sensitive questions as well as it can be used for a single question.
