Signal words such as DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, etc. have been used in order to transmit a potential hazard easily and quickly. But they were applied to a number of the sites without consistency. Thus, this study took Quantification Method and Cluster Analysis in order to judge the signal words corresponding to the urgency of situations, and to analyze whether signal words are used properly or not. According to the result of Quantification Method II signal words were most affected by Understanding, Severity and Likelihood in both student group and industrial worker group. And in Quantification Method III CAUTION corresponded to Immediacy and Understanding whereas NOTICE did to Receptivity, WARNING, DEADLY and DANCER did to Likelihood, Dangerousness and Severity. Finally, Cluster Analysis showed that CAUTION and NOTICE were recognized as similar words.

수량화 문제는 n개의 성질을 갖는 m개의 개체들을 각 개체들의 유사도(similarity)를 가장 잘 반영하도록 p차원의 공간 상에 대응시키는 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 물리학에서의 열평형 상태(thermal equilibrium state)에서 분자시스템의 해석적 근사 움직임에 대한 이론인 평균장 이론(mean field theory)에 의한 분자의 평균 변화량 계산과 어닐링(annealing) 방법에 의한 평균장 신경회로망(mean field neural network)을 수량화 문제(quantification analysis problem)의 해결에 적용하였다. 그 결과, 제안한 최적화 응용기법 이 기존의 고유치 분석방법(eigen value analysis)에 비해 비용측면에서 좀 더 최적에 가까운 해답을 찾아낼 수 있음을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 정량화(Quantification) 문제를 MFT(Mean Field Theroy)를 통해서 해결하는 기법을 제안한다. 통계학에서 중요한 문제의 하나인 정량화 문제는 주어진 공간에서 대상들간의 유사성에 따라서 최적의 상태를 갖도록 하는 문제이다. 평균장 접근 방법에 기초한 한개의 변수로 표현되는 확률적 시뮬레이티드 아닐링을 제안하고 정량화 문제를 패널티(penalty) 파라메타 항을 첨가한 비한정된 최적화 문제로 변형하 여 MFT를 적용하였다. 또한 연속변수를 갖는 신경회로망에서 실제 값을 계산하는 것 보다 평균장 접근방법으로 계산하는것이 더 빠르게 계산될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법이 실험결과 해석적인 방법보다 좋은 정량적 결과를 보였다.

Geometric approach to extend the classical two-set theory of canonical correlation analysis to three or more sets is considered. It provides statistical graphs to represent the data in a low dimensional space. Procedures are developed for computing the canonical variables and the corresponding properties are investigated. The solution is equivalent to that of the usual problem in the case of two sets. Goodness-of-fit of the proposed plots is studied and a numerical example is included.

Since its introduction in the forensic field, quantitative PCR (qPCR) has played an essential role in DNA analysis. Quality of DNA should be evaluated before short tandem repeat (STR) profiling to obtain reliable results and reduce unnecessary costs. To this end, various human DNA quantification kits have been developed. Among these kits, the PowerQunat® System was designed not only to determine the total amount of human DNA and human male DNA from a forensic evidence item, but also to offer data about degradation of DNA samples. However, a crucial limitation of the PowerQunat® System is its high cost. Therefore, to minimize the cost of DNA quantification, we evaluated kit performance using a reduced volume of reagents (1/2-volume) using DNA samples of varying types and concentrations. Our results demonstrated that the low-volume method has almost comparable performance to the manufacturer's method for human DNA quantification, human male DNA quantification, and DNA degradation index. Furthermore, using a reduced volume of regents, it is possible to run 2 times more reactions per kit. We expect the proposed low-volume method to cut costs in half for laboratories dealing with large numbers of DNA samples.

Categorical data are mostly found in oriental medical research. The nonlinear canonical correlation analysis does not assume an interval level of measurement. In this paper, we apply nonlinear canonical correlation analysis to quantification and explain how similar sets of variables are to one another for paralysis disease data.

This paper examines the quantification of uncertainty for welding residual stresses in dissimilar metal welds used in nuclear power plants. A mock-up of a dissimilar metal weld pipe, consisting of carbon and stainless steel pipes, was fabricated to measure the residual stress. A Round-Robin analysis was conducted by Korean institutions to assess the welding residual stress. The analysis was carried out in the second order, and the data obtained by each institution was evaluated based on the information provided. Using the Round-Robin results, the distribution of uncertainty in welding residual stresses among Korean institutions was evaluated. The quantification of uncertainty for Korean institutions was found to have a wider range compared to the distribution of welding residual stresses observed in overseas institutions. This study is considered useful in the establishment of comprehensive strategies for evaluating welding residual stress analysis methods used by domestic institutions.

Epifluorescence microscopy with image analysis was evaluated as a biofilm quantification method (i.e., quantification of surface area colonized by biofilms), in comparison with crystal violet (CV) staining. We performed different experiments to generate multispecies biofilms with natural and artificial bacterial assemblages. First, four species were inoculated daily in 16 different sequences to form biofilms (surface colonization, 0.1%-56.6%). Second, a 9-species assemblage was allowed to form biofilms under 10 acylase treatment episodes (33.8%-55.6%). The two methods comparably measured the quantitative variation in biofilms, exhibiting a strong positive relationship (R² ≥ 0.7). Moreover, the two methods exhibited similar levels of variation coefficients. Finally, six synthetic and two natural consortia were allowed to form biofilms for 14 days, and their temporal dynamics were monitored. The two methods were comparable in quantifying four biofilms colonizing ≥18.7% (R² ≥ 0.64), but not for the other biofilms colonizing ≤ 3.7% (R² ≤ 0.25). In addition, the two methods exhibited comparable coefficients of variation in the four biofilms. Microscopy and CV staining comparably measured the quantitative variation of biofilms, exhibiting a strongly positive relationship, although microscopy cannot appropriately quantify the biofilms below the threshold colonization. Microscopy with image analysis is a promising approach for easily and rapidly estimating absolute quantity of multispecies biofilms.

The purpose of this paper is to derive a quantified approach for Operator Manual Actions (OMAs) based on the existing fire Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) methodology developed by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). The existing fire HRA method was reviewed, and supplementary considerations for OMA quantification were established through a comparative analysis with NUREG-1852 criteria and the review of the existing literature. The OMA quantification approach involves a timeline that considers the occurrence of Multiple Spurious Operations (MSOs) during a Main Control Room Abandonment (MCRA) determination and movement towards the Remote Shutdown Panel (RSP) in the event of a Main Control Room (MCR) fire. The derived failure probability of an OMA from the approach proposed in this paper is expected to enhance the understanding of its reliability. Therefore, it allows moving beyond the deterministic classification of "reliable" or "unreliable" in NUREG-1852. Also, in the event of a nuclear power plant fire where multiple OMAs are required within a critical time range, it is anticipated that the OMA failure probability could serve as a criterion for prioritizing OMAs and determining their order of importance.
