In this paper, we present a simple statistical method for performing word sense disambiguation(WSD), specially for Korean transitive verbs, based on a supervised learning algorithm. This approach combines a set of indicators based on syntactic relations between surrounding words and an ambiguous verb. Experiments with 10 Korean verbs show that accuracy performance of our WSD method using indicators based on syntactic relations is 27% higher than the baseline performance. Moreover, our method using weighting mechanism based on each indicator type is 12% higher than a method which uses only an unordered set of surrounding words in the context.

Satellite data have an intrinsic problem due to a number of various physical parameters, which can have a similar effect on measured radiance. Most evaluations of satellite performance have relied on comparisons with limited spatial and temporal resolution of ground-based measurements such as soundings and in-situ measurements. In order to overcome this problem, a new way of satellite data evaluation is suggested with statistical tools such as empirical orthogonal function(EOF), and singular value decomposition(SVD). The EOF analyses with OMI and OMI HCHO over northeast Asia show that the spatial pattern show high correlation with population density. This suggests that human activity is a major source of as well as HCHO over this region. However, this analysis is contradictory to the previous finding with GOME HCHO that biogenic activity is the main driving mechanism(Fu et al., 2007). To verify the source of HCHO over this region, we performed the EOF analyses with vegetation and HCHO distribution. The results showed no coherence in the spatial and temporal pattern between two factors. Rather, the additional SVD analysis between $NO_2$ and HCHO shows consistency in spatial and temporal coherence. This outcome suggests that the anthropogenic emission is the main source of HCHO over the region. We speculate that the previous study appears to be due to low temporal and spatial resolution of GOME measurements or uncertainty in model input data.

The soil-concrete interface shear strength, although has been extensively studied, is still difficult to predict as a result of the dependence on many factors such as normal stresses, surface roughness, particle sizes, moisture contents, dilation angles of soils, etc. In this study, a well-known rigorous statistical learning approach, namely the least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) realized in a ubiquitous spreadsheet platform is firstly used in estimating the soil-structure interface shear strength. Instead of studying the complicated mechanism, LS-SVM enables to explore the possible link between the fundamental factors and the interface shear strengths, via a sophisticated statistic approach. As a preliminary investigation, the authors study the expansive soils that are found extensively in most countries. To reduce the complexity, three major influential factors, e.g., initial moisture contents, initial dry densities and normal stresses of soils are taken into account in developing the LS-SVM models for the soil-concrete interface shear strengths. The predicted results by LS-SVM show reasonably good agreement with experimental data from direct shear tests.

Many distress mechanisms in pavement are known to be caused by the poor mechanical properties of bituminous concretes. Among many mechanical properties, tensile strength is one of the more important indicates that represent the resistance of pavement to traffic loading. However, there has been no relationship established between the strength and distress mechanisms. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate a correlation between the tensile strength value and the intensity of distress in bituminous concrete. Distress data were collected from an extensive field investigation over 77km of a four-lane highway in South Carolina, USA, and from laboratory prepared specimens in two phases of study. Strength data were obtained from a total of more than 400 field cores taken from the same highway and from 640marshall specimens of surface course mixture prepared in the laboratory. These data were analyzed using statistical test techniques. It was found from statistical analyses that the tensile strength of bituminous concrete had a strong relation with the pavement condition in the field. In the analysis of rutting and stripping, low strength concrete showed a higher distress rate in the mixture, and mixtures under distress in the field showed obviously reduced strength values. Stripping was found to be the most significant distress mechanism that was correlated with low strength bituminous concrete. Rutting appeared more frequently in a low strength pavement section of the highway as a sign of failure due to traffic loading.

To determine the representative pollution degree of outdoor insulators during the drought season, we should make an investigation on the long-term accumulation characteristics of contaminants. As the contamination mechanism of outdoor insulator is extremely depend on the climatic condition, there is a large difference between the research result of Japanese utilities. So based on the difference of precipitation of the Korea and Japan, we could say that the accumulation characteristics of the countries have a significant difference. But, based on the result of Japan, the accumulation property of contaminants was ignored in KEPCO\`s specification. So, to determine the accumulation characteristics of Korea, we measured the 2 and 3 month ESDD with brush wiping method and make a statistical analysis on measured data. And, from the results, we understood the accumulation characteristics of Korea and the influence of topographical condition on the distribution characteristics of salt contaminants. coast.

In many epidemiological studies, missing values in the outcome arise due to censoring. Such censoring is what makes survival analysis special and differentiated from other analytical methods. There are many methods that deal with censored data in survival analysis. However, few studies have dealt with missing covariates in survival data. Furthermore, studies dealing with missing covariates are rare when data are clustered. In this paper, we conducted a simulation study to compare results of several missing data methods when data had clustered multi-structured type with missing covariates. In this study, we modeled unknown baseline hazard and frailty with Bayesian B-Spline to obtain more smooth and accurate estimates. We also used prior information to achieve more accurate results. We assumed the missing mechanism as MAR. We compared the performance of five different missing data techniques and compared these results through simulation studies. We also presented results from a Multi-Center study of Korean IBD patients with Crohn's disease(Lee et al., Journal of the Korean Society of Coloproctology, 28, 188-194, 2012).

This study showed that the association between grandmother-mother relationship and grandmother-grandchildren ties is mediated by the coparenting. Participants consisted of 329 grandmothers who were rearing preschool aged grandchildren in the Seoul and Gyeonggido area. SPSS 23.0 performed descriptive statistical analysis and correlation analysis. The structural equation model was estimated with AMOS 23.0. Parameters were estimated using the maximum likelihood method. Model fit index used the chi-square statistic, the goodness of fit index (GFI), the Turker-Lewis index (TLI), the comparative fit index (CFI), the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA). The mediation effect analysis followed a two-step verification process; direct and indirect effect. In addition, statistical significance of the indirect effect was examined using a bootstrapping procedure. The results are as follows. First, a positive correlation was found between the grandmother-mother relationship, grandmother-grandchildren ties, and coparenting. Second, the association between grandmother-mother relationship and grandmother-grandchildren ties is mediated by coparenting. The results of this study suggest that the quality of the grandmother's relationship with mothers and cooperative coparenting is important to building relationships with grandchildren. In addition, coparenting can be an important mechanism for grandmother-mother relationships and grandmother-grandchild ties. Based on the results of this study, we discussed ways to improve the grandmothers' relationship quality with the mother and strengthen parenting ability.

In ATM networks, bandwidth allocation using available bandwidth is important to control ABR traffic efficiently. However, it is difficult to dynamically assign bandwidth on bursty traffic, because the tracking of the existing available bandwidth information uses statistical value. In this paper, we propose a output-bufferd ATM switch using Per-VC queueing scheme with timer and Controller. The controller determines whether each VC is in congestion state or not, and the timer can assign dynamically as determining the available bandwidth for the Present period by Backlogged time and total link capacity, and then transmitting the determined bandwidth to source. Instead of using statistical parameters, the proposed scheme can improve link efficiency as allocating the bandwidth of the next period, by use of measured bandwidth during the current period.

This study was performed to investigate the preventive effect of KDD against lead toxicity. KDD of 133, 266, 532 and 1,064 mg/kg were administered twice to the rats of Sprague-Dawley strain and then 300 mg/kg lead acetate was given to times, respectively. 1. The accumulation effects of KDD against to lead showed the changes of lead concentration by time variation. But, no statistical significance were showed on 8 and 10 weeks for kidney, spleen, 8 weeks for liver, and 4, 6 and 8 weeks for duodenum. In the femur, statistical significance existed during the whole experimental period. The relatively high concentration of lead detected in the feces of the experimental group means that KDD facilitated excretion of lead. 2. The histopathological effect of KDD against lead showed cytomegaly, karyomegaly, inclusion body, urinary cast and hemosiderin of kidney in the experimental group I (Pb 300 mg/kg). Recovery of KDD administrated group was inclined to increase by KDD concentration. But, spleen's histopathological recovery of KDD aginst to lead did not show as much as kidney. In conclusion, this study revealed the preventive effect of KDD against lead toxicity and its mechanism inferred to facilitate lead excretion in feces following hinderance of lead absorption in the gastric-intestine and organs.

In this paper, multiple regression analysis of the electrical characteristics for $HfO_2$ thin films grown by metal organic molecular beam epitaxy (MOMBE) was investigated. The electrical properties, such as, the accumulation capacitance and the hysteresis index, are the main factors to determine the characteristics of $HfO_2$ thin films. The input factors on the process are the substrate temperature, Ar gas flow, and $O_2$ gas flow. For statistical analysis, the design of experiments was carried out and the effect plots were used to analyze the manufacturing process. This methodology can predict the electrical characteristics of the thin film growth mechanism related to the process conditions.
