Purpose: This study was conducted to assess the agreement and differences between cervical self-sampling with a Kato device (KSSD) and gynecologist sampling for Pap cytology and human papillomavirus DNA (HPV DNA) detection. Materials and Methods: Women underwent self-sampling followed by gynecologist sampling during screening at two primary health clinics. Pap cytology of cervical specimens was evaluated for specimen adequacy, presence of endocervical cells or transformation zone cells and cytological interpretation for cells abnormalities. Cervical specimens were also extracted and tested for HPV DNA detection. Positive HPV smears underwent gene sequencing and HPV genotyping by referring to the online NCBI gene bank. Results were compared between samplings by Kappa agreement and McNemar test. Results: For Pap specimen adequacy, KSSD showed 100% agreement with gynecologist sampling but had only 32.3% agreement for presence of endocervical cells. Both sampling showed 100% agreement with only 1 case detected HSIL favouring CIN2 for cytology result. HPV DNA detection showed 86.2%agreement (K=0.64, 95% CI 0.524-0.756, p=0.001) between samplings. KSSD and gynaecologist sampling identified high risk HPV in 17.3% and 23.9% respectively (p=0.014). Conclusion: The self-sampling using Kato device can serve as a tool in Pap cytology and HPV DNA detection in low resource settings in Malaysia. Self-sampling devices such as KSSD can be used as an alternative technique to gynaecologist sampling for cervical cancer screening among rural populations in Malaysia.

Recently, we have many kinds of picture format and display, and resizing (scaling) of picture becomes important. In this processing, quality of picture depends on re-sizing method. For this, some methods to improve the PSNR have been proposed. However, subjective picture quality is more important. Especially, degradation caused by re-sizing, such as jaggy (aliasing) and ringing, should be reduced. To solve them, we have proposed the method using directional adaptive interpolation. To improve the performance of this method, we consider the shape analysis this time. In the proposed method, directional adaptive processing is applied for pure edge only. In the texture area and flat area, 8 tap re-sampling filter is used. As the results of processing, the reductions of jaggy and incorrect interpolated pixels are recognized. The subjective picture quality of proposed method is significantly better than 8-tap re-sampling which gives good PSNR.

우리나라 조사업계에서는 전화조사의 방법론으로 성과 나이, 지역에 표본 수를 사전 지정하는 방식의 할당표집 (quota sampling)을 주로 쓰고 있다. 이러한 할당표집은 조사비용과 기간의 단축이라는 이점을 갖지만 이론적 타당성이 결여되어 있어 학문적으로는 받아들이기 어렵다. 때문에, 학계에서는 그 동안 수차례 임의표집(random sampling)에 근거한 전화조사를 조사업계에 요구해 왔다. 이에 응하여, (주)리서치 앤 리서치가 2002년 울산시장 선거예측 조사에 임의표집에 의한 전화조사를 실시하였다 본 사례연구는 이 자료를 심층적으로 재분석하여 임의표집에서의 재통화 및 응답자 임의선정 절차가 자료 질 및 최종 예측치에 주는 영향에 대하여 살펴볼 것이다.

In this paper, we consider applying the bootstrap method to the median test procedures for right censored data. For doing this, we show that the median test statistics can be represented by the differences of two sampler medians. Then we review to the re-sampling methods for censored dta and propose the test procedures under the location translation assumption and Behrens-Fisher problem. Also we compare our procedures with other re-sampling method, which is so-called permutation test through an example. Finally we show the validity of bootstrap median test procedure in the appendix.

Different samples can have different effects on learning support vector machine (SVM) classifiers. To rebalance an imbalanced dataset, it is reasonable to reduce non-informative samples and add informative samples for learning classifiers. Safe sample screening can identify a part of non-informative samples and retain informative samples. This study developed a resampling algorithm for Rebalancing imbalanced data using Safe Sample Screening (Re-SSS), which is composed of selecting Informative Samples (Re-SSS-IS) and rebalancing via a Weighted SMOTE (Re-SSS-WSMOTE). The Re-SSS-IS selects informative samples from the majority class, and determines a suitable regularization parameter for SVM, while the Re-SSS-WSMOTE generates informative minority samples. Both Re-SSS-IS and Re-SSS-WSMOTE are based on safe sampling screening. The experimental results show that Re-SSS can effectively improve the classification performance of imbalanced classification problems.

One of the most challenging safety precautions for workers in dynamic, radioactive environments is avoiding radiation sources and sustaining low exposure. This paper presents a sampling-based algorithm, DL-RRT*, for minimum dose walk-path re-planning in radioactive environments, expedient for occupational workers in nuclear facilities to avoid unnecessary radiation exposure. The method combines the principle of random tree star ($RRT^*$) and $D^*$ Lite, and uses the expansion strength of grid search strategy from $D^*$ Lite to quickly find a high-quality initial path to accelerate convergence rate in $RRT^*$. The algorithm inherits probabilistic completeness and asymptotic optimality from $RRT^*$ to refine the existing paths continually by sampling the search-graph obtained from the grid search process. It can not only be applied to continuous cost spaces, but also make full use of the last planning information to avoid global re-planning, so as to improve the efficiency of path planning in frequently changing environments. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method was verified by simulating radiation field under varying obstacles and radioactive environments, and the results were compared with $RRT^*$ algorithm output.

In this paper, we present a new image up-sampling method which registers low resolution images to the high resolution grid when Bayesian super-resolution image processing is performed. The proposed up-sampling method interpolates high-resolution pixels using high-frequency data lying in all the low resolution images, instead of up-sampling each low resolution image separately. The interpolation is based on B-spline non-uniform re-sampling, adjusted for the super-resolution image processing. The experimental results demonstrate the effects when different up-sampling methods generally used such as zero-padding or bilinear interpolation are applied to the super-resolution image reconstruction. Then, we show that the proposed hybird up-sampling method generates high-resolution images more accurately than conventional methods with quantitative and qualitative assess measures.

차세대 통신기술인 Software-Defined Radio (SDR)시스템은 단일 하드웨어 플랫폼에 소프트웨어 변경만으로 다양한 통신표준을 수용할 수 있는 시스템이다. 시스템의 융통성(flexibility)과 적응성(adaptability)을 위하여 RF와 관련된 하드웨어의 최소화가 필요하며, 이를 위해 ADC를 사용으로 기저대역(baseband) 또는 낮은 IF단으로 직접하향 변환(downconversion)을 할 수 있는 bandpass sampling 기법이 필수적이다. 이 논문에서는 complex bandpass sampling 방식을 이용하여 두 가지의 통신 표준이 한 시스템에서 동시에 직접 하향 변환하는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 이에 따른 sampling 가능 영역, 보호대역(guard-band)을 고려한 sampling 가능 최소 주파수 그리고 이동된 신호의 위치를 구하는 수식들을 유도한 뒤 그래프를 통해 비교 분석하였다. 또한 제안한 sampling방식이 모의실험을 통해 기존에 제안되었던 real bandpass sampling방식보다 SDR시스템에 더욱 적합하다는 것을 입증하였다.

일반적인 bandpass sampling 방법인 real bandpass sampling 기법은 하향변환(downconversion)을 시행할 때 음의 주파수 대역의 RF 신호와의 에일리어싱(aliasing) 현상을 피해야 하므로 신중한 sampling 주파수 선택이 요구된다. 더욱이 다중신호(multiple signals)가 하향변환 될 경우에 이 sampling 방법은 더욱 많은 제약이 따르게 된다. 그러나 Hilbert 변환을 사용하는 complex bandpass sampling 방법은 음의 주파수 영역의 신호를 제거함으로써, real bandpass sampling 기법보다 유연하고 넓은 sampling 주파수 범위를 제공하며, 또한 더욱 낮은 sampling 주파수를 얻을 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 complex bandpass sampling의 특징을 사용하여, 다중 신호를 하나의 통신 기기에서 동시에 하향 변환하는 수신기의 구조를 제시한다. 그리고 하나 또는 2개 신호의 하향변환에 관한 내용으로 제한하지 않고 N개의 신호로 확장하여 유효 sampling 주파수 영역 및 보호대역(guard-band)이 고려된 sampling 가능 최소 주파수에 관한 수식들을 일반화한다. 또한 모의실험을 통해 유도된 수식들을 증명한다.
