In this research, we compare the efficiency of two test procedures proposed by Prentice and Gloeckler (1978) and Park and Hong (2009) for grouped data with possible right censored observations. Both test statistics were derived using the likelihood ratio principle, but under different semi-parametric models. We review the two statistics with asymptotic normality and consider obtaining empirical powers through a simulation study. The simulation study considers two types of models the location translation model and the scale model. We discuss some interesting features related to the grouped data and obtain null distribution functions with a re-sampling method. Finally we indicate topics for future research.

Radiation therapy (RT) is a very important treatment for cancer that irradiates a large amount of radiation to lead cancer cells and tissues to death. The progression of RT in the aspect of personalized medicine has greatly advanced over the past few decades in the field of technical precision responding anatomical characteristics of each patient. However, the consideration of biological heterogeneity that makes different effect in individual patients has not actually applied to clinical practice. There have been numerous discovery and validation of biomarkers that can be applied to improve the efficiency of radiotherapy, among which those related to genomic information are very promising developments. These genome-based biomarkers can be applied to identify patients who can benefit most from altering their therapeutic dose and to select the best chemotherapy improving sensitivity to radiotherapy. The genomics-based biomarkers in radiation oncology focus on mutational changes, particularly oncogenes and DNA damage response pathways. Although few have translated into clinically viable tools, there are many promising candidates in this field. In this review the prominent mutation-based biomarkers and their potential for clinical translation will be discussed.

It is important to make reasonable prediction about the long-term deformation of high rockfill geostructures. However, the deformation is usually underestimated using the rockfill parameters obtained from laboratory tests due to different size effects, which make it necessary to identify parameters from in-situ monitoring data. This paper proposes a novel hybrid back-analysis method with a modified objective function defined for the time-dependent back-analysis problem. The method consists of two stages. In the first stage, an improved weighted average method is proposed to quickly narrow the search region; while in the second stage, an adaptive response surface method is proposed to iteratively search for the satisfactory solution, with a technique that can adaptively consider the translation, contraction or expansion of the exploration region. The accuracy and computational efficiency of the proposed hybrid back-analysis method is demonstrated by back-analyzing the long-term deformation of two high embankments constructed for airport runways, with the rockfills being modeled by a rheological model considering the influence of stress states on the creep behavior.

본 논문에서는 기존의 칼라 특성을 이용한 내용 기반 영상 검색 방법을 적용 영역별로 분류 할 수 있는 기준을 제시하고, 그 기준에 의해 영상 내 공간 정보를 충분하게 표현할 수 있어 이동 및 회전 확대/축소 변형에 강한 영상 검색 방법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 칼라 특성을 이용한 내용 기반 영상 검색은 영상 내 공간정보를 충분하게 표현하지 못하여 이동 및 회전, 확대/축소 변형에 약한 단점을 지니고 있다. 이에 기존 연구에서는 인위적으로 영상을 여러 개로 분할하는 방법 등으로 공간 정보를 표현하고자 하였지만 특징 벡터의 수가 급격히 늘어남에 따라 검색 효율이 저하된다는 단점을 가지고있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 방법을 사용된 칼라 객체의 상호 관계에 따라 1차와 2차 관계에 의한 방법으로 분류하고, 이동, 회전 특히 크기 변화(축소,확대)에 탁월한 성능을 보이는 칼라 객체의 3차 관계를 이용한 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 주어진 영상으로부터 양자화된 24개의 버킷을 생성해서 각 버킷의 히스토그램의 크기 순서로 세 개 버킷을 선정하고 그들의 평균 칼라 위치를 계산해서 그들 간의 상호 각도를 추출하여 영상의 특징 벡터로 사용하였다. 실험 결과 기존 방법보다 특히 영상의 크기 변화에 대해 좋은 결과를 얻을수 있었으며, 계산량도 적어 효율적임을 보여 주었다.

Leishmania virus (LRV)1-4 has been reported to produce a fusion of ORF2 and ORF3 via a programmed +1 frameshift in the region where ORF2 and ORF3 overlap (Lee et a/., 1996). However, the exact frameshift site has not been identified. In this study, we compared the frameshift efficiency of a 259bp (nt. 2565-2823), frameshift region of LRV1-4, and the 71 bp (nt. 2605-2678) sub-region where ORF2 and ORF3 overlap. We then predicted the frameshift site using a new computer program (Pseudoviewer), and finally identified the specific region associated with the mechanism of the LRV1-4's+1 frameshift by means of a mutational analysis based on the predicted structure of LRV1-4 RNA. The predicted structure was confirmed by biochemical analysis. In order to measure the frameshift efficiency, constructs that generate luciferase without a frameshift or with a+1 frameshift, were generated and in vitro transcription/translation analysis was performed. Measurements of the luciferase activity generated, showed that the frameshift efficiency was about $1\%$ for both the 259bp (LRV1-4 259FS) and 71 bp region (LRV1-4 71FS). Luciferase activity was strongly reduced in a mutant (LRV1-4 NH: nt. 2635-2670) with the entire hairpin deleted and in a mutant (LRV1-4 NUS: nt. 2644-2659) with the upper stem of the hairpin deleted. These results indicate that the frameshift site in LRV1-4's is in the 71 bp region where ORF2 and ORF3 overlap, and that nt. 2644-2659 (the upward hairpin stem) playa key role in generating the +1 frameshift.

Background: Ginseng is one of the well-known medicinal plants, exhibiting diverse medicinal effects. Its roots possess anticancer and antiaging properties and are being used in the medical systems of East Asian countries. It is grown in low-light and low-temperature conditions, and its growth is strongly inhibited at temperatures above $25^{\circ}C$. However, the molecular responses of ginseng to heat stress are currently poorly understood, especially at the protein level. Methods: We used a shotgun proteomics approach to investigate the effect of heat stress on ginseng leaves. We monitored their photosynthetic efficiency to confirm physiological responses to a high-temperature stress. Results: The results showed a reduction in photosynthetic efficiency on heat treatment ($35^{\circ}C$) starting at 48 h. Label-free quantitative proteome analysis led to the identification of 3,332 proteins, of which 847 were differentially modulated in response to heat stress. The MapMan analysis showed that the proteins with increased abundance were mainly associated with antioxidant and translation-regulating activities, whereas the proteins related to the receptor and structural-binding activities exhibited decreased abundance. Several other proteins including chaperones, G-proteins, calcium-signaling proteins, transcription factors, and transfer/carrier proteins were specifically downregulated. Conclusion: These results increase our understanding of heat stress responses in the leaves of ginseng at the protein level, for the first time providing a resource for the scientific community.

최근 플래시 메모리의 꾸준한 용량 증가와 가격 하락으로 인해 대용량 SSD(Solid State Drive)가 점차 대중화 되고 있다. 하지만, 플래시 메모리는 하드웨어적인 제약사항이 존재하며, 이러한 제약사항을 보완하기 위해 FTL(Flash Translation Layer)이라는 특별한 미들웨어 계층을 필요로 한다. FTL은 플래시 메모리의 하드웨어적인 제약사항을 효율적으로 운용하기 위해 필요한 계층으로서 파일 시스템으로부터의 논리적 섹터 번호(logical sector number)를 플래시 메모리의 물리적 섹터 번호(physical sector number)로 변환해주는 역할을 한다. 특히, 플래시 메모리의 여러 제약사항 중 "쓰기 전 지우기(erase-before-write)"는 플래시 메모리 성능 저하의 주요한 원인이 되고 있으며, 이와 관련하여 로그블록 기반의 여러 연구들이 활발히 진행되어 왔지만, 대용량의 플래시 메모리를 효율적으로 운용하기 위해서는 몇몇 문제점들이 존재한다. 로그블록 기반의 FAST는 넓은 지역에 임의쓰기(random writing)가 빈번하게 발생하면 데이터 블록 내 사용되지 않은 섹터들로 인해 효율적이지 못한 합병 연산이 발생한다. 즉, 효율적이지 못한 블록 쓰레싱(thrashing)이 빈번하게 발생하고, 플래시 메모리의 성능을 저하시킨다. 로그블록은 덮어쓰기(overwriting) 발생 시 일종의 캐쉬처럼 운영되며, 이러한 기법은 플래시 메모리 성능 향상에 많은 발전을 주었다. 본 연구에서는 임의쓰기에 대한 성능 향상을 위해 로그 블록만을 캐쉬처럼 운영하는 것이 아니라 플래시 메모리 전체를 캐쉬처럼 운용하고, 이를위해 별도의 오프셋이라는 매핑 테이블을 운용하여 플래시 메모리 성능 저하의 주요한 원인이 되는 합병연산과 삭제연산을 줄였다. 새로운 FTL은 XAST(eXtensively-Associative Sector Translation)이라 명명하며, XAST에서는 공간지역성과 시간지역성에 대한 기본적인 이론을 바탕으로 오프셋 매핑 테이블을 효율적으로 운용한다.
