목적 황색육아종성 담낭염을 벽비후형 담낭암으로부터 감별진단하기 위한 자기공명영상(MRI) 점수체계를 고안하고, 그 점수체계의 진단능을 영상의학과 의사의 시각적 평가와 비교하고자 한다. 대상과 방법 복부 MRI 및 수술을 시행한 각각 황색육아종성 담낭염과 벽비후형 담낭암으로 진단된 23명과 35명의 환자를 후향적으로 분석하였다. 세 명의 영상의학과 의사가 모든 MRI 소견을 분석하였다. 저자들은 이러한 MRI 소견을 이용하여 벽비후형 담낭암으로부터 황색육아종성 담낭염을 감별진단하기 위한 점수체계를 고안하였고 이 점수체계의 진단능을 수신자 운영 특성 곡선의 곡선 하 면적을 영상의학과 의사의 시각적 평가와 비교하였다. 결과 9가지의 MRI 소견이 두 질환의 감별에 유의미한 차이를 보였다: 미만형 벽 비후(p < 0.001), 점막 균일성(p = 0.002), 벽내 T2 고신호강호(p < 0.001), 점막 당김(p = 0.016), 담낭 결석(p < 0.001), T1 중등도 혹은 고신호강도(p = 0.033), 확산 제한(p = 0.005), 조영증강 패턴(p < 0.001), 조영증강 최고점 시기(p = 0.008). MRI 점수체계는 곡선 하 면적이 0.972로 뛰어난 진단능을 나타내었고 이는 영상의학과 의사의 시각적 평가보다 유의미하게 높았다. 결론 MRI 점수체계는 황색육아종성 담낭염을 벽비후형 담낭암으로부터 감별진단하는 데 있어 영상의학과 의사의 시각적 평가보다 좋은 진단능을 나타내었다.

This study investigates the effect of misplacement in a written Computer-delivered ESL Placement Test (CEPT) context. The study aims to address the following two research questions: a) which scoring rubric features cause the misplacement of ESL learner's writing scores? and b) which scoring rubric features improve ESL learner's writing scores? Thirty-four international examinees took the test and participated in surveys at the University of Illinois. Twelve examinees of them attended the CEPT workshop test. In the workshop test, they carried out self-evaluation on their first essays using a scoring rubric and compared with expert raters' results. After the workshop, the examinees responded to a survey and interview. For the first research question, the results of the survey and interview addressed that the majority disagreed with the raters' rating results. The self-evaluation results also indicated that their misunderstanding of organization feature caused the misplacement. For the second question, the CEPT workshop scores were improved due to the score improvement in the organization feature while the contribution of other features to the total scores was little. Most of the examinees pointed out that a lesson on the scoring rubric enhanced their understanding of the writing features of the rubric so that their placement scores were generally improved.

The purpose of Green Building Certification System is to promote the environment-friendly building construction as the life-cycle environmental performance of a certain building is assessed and certified nationally(domestically). By the way, a building can get the green building certificate just with the minimum standard in prerequisite assessment criteria and with the designated scores in totals. GBCS consists of 9 assessment issues and it has 4 grades. Nevertheless the 1st. grade green building has uneven scores in each issue. In other words, it has even 0 point in a special issue. Due to the above problem, the discrimination and reliability in the GBCS grading and scoring has to be secured. This study aims at a new grading and scoring system equipped with the discrimination and reliability through analysing the scores of prerequisite assessment criteria and the scores by issues in the actually certified green office buildings.

This article proposes a logic model for assessing the performance of the outcome of public research as a technology valuation method. It consists of two parts and eight steps. The first part is a scoring system and the second part is a validation process of the performance index derived from scoring by valuation method. The scoring in the first part generally requires a focus group method to find out the value drivers and make an evaluation table. The reason why we call it the technology valuation method is that the first part is derived from the simple evaluation of technology value using checklists for value drive. The second part is the regular technology valuation process. The model is designed for the measurement of unquantifiable outcome. Is knowledge or scientific outcome comparable to the measured outcome? If possible, how big is the unquantifiable outcome? This model is based on financial valuation techniques with clear or acceptable market data. Therefore, it cannot work solely for unquantifiable outcomes without comparable measurable outcomes, unlike economic valuation.

Background: To identify the risk factors and assess the role of survivin in predicting progessivity precancerous cervical lesions. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was conducted from October 2009 until May 2010. We obtained 74 samples, classified according to the degree of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN): 19 samples for CIN 1, 18 samples for CIN 2, 18 samples for CIN 3, and 19 samples as controls. Demographic profiles and risk factors assesment, histopathologic examination, HPV DNA tests, immunocytochemistry (ICC) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining for survivin expression were performed on all samples. Data was analyzed with bivariate and multivariate analysis. Results: Multivariate analysis revealed significant risk factors for developing precancerous cervical lesions are age <41 years, women with ${\geq}2$ sexual partners, course of education ${\geq}13$ years, use of oral contraceptives, positive high-risk HPV DNA, and high survivin expression by ICC or IHC staining. These factors were fit to a prediction model and we obtained a scoring system to predict the progressivity of CIN lesions. Conclusions: Determination of survivin expression by immunocytochemistry staining, along with other significant risk factors, can be used in a scoring system to predict the progressivity of CIN lesions. Application of this scoring system may be beneficial in determining the action of therapy towards the patient.

As a basic study to clarify the scoring resistance in lubricated sliding contact, the temperature rise on frictional surface was analyzed by theoretical method and the effects of various factors on the temperature rise were examined. On the basic of the results obtained theoretically, the practical equations to calculate the maximum average temperature of the contact surface were proposed which are applicable to sliding contact. Then, the effects of sliding velocity and oil temperature on the seizure behavior, and the relation between seizure and temperature rise were investigated. The following conclusions are deduced : The maximum average temperature rise and the other bulk temperature. The former is affected by the size of heat supply region and the sliding velocity, the latter is affected by heat transfer coefficient. Without regard to the operating condition such as sliding velocity, oil temperature and operating time at each load-step, the maximum average temperature just before seizure is nearly constant except in the region of lower velocity. Consequently, the maximum average temperature of the contact surface in boundary lubrication is a useful criterion to predict the scoring of sliding contact.

The power train of hydro-mechanical continuously variable transmission(HMCVT) for the middle class forklift makes use of an hydro-static unit, hydraulic multi-wet disc brake & clutches and complex helical & planetary gears. The complex helical & planetary gears are a very important part of the transmission because of strength problems. The helical & planetary gears belong to the very important part of the HMCVT's power train where strength problems are the main concerns including the gear bending stress, the gear compressive stress and scoring failures. The present study, calculates specifications of the complex helical & planetary gear train and analyzes the gear bending and compressive stresses of the gears. It is necessary to analyze gear bending and compressive stresses confidently for an optimal design of the complex helical & planetary gears in respect of cost and reliability. This paper not only analyzes actual gear bending and compressive stresses of complex helical & planetary gears using Lewes & Hertz equation, but also verifies the calculated specifications of the complex helical & planetary gears by evaluating the results with the data of allowable bending and compressive stress from the Stress - No. of cycles curves of gears. In addition, this paper explains actual gear scoring and evaluates the possibility of scoring failure of complex helical & planetary gear train of hydro-mechanical continuously variable transmission for the forklift.

Closo-carborane has been considered as an efficient boron-carrier for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) and an attractive surrogate of lipophilic phenyl or cyclohexyl ring in drug design. Despite a great number of carborane-containing ligands have been synthesized and evaluated, molecular modeling studies of carborane ligands with macromolecules have been rarely reported. We herein describe a facile docking and scoring-function strategy of 16 carborane ligands with an estrogen receptor by using the commercial Gaussian, Chem3D Pro and Discovery Studio (DS) computational programs. Docked poses of the carborane ligands in silico exhibited similar binding modes to that of the crystal ligand in the active site of estrogen receptor. Score analysis of the best docked pose for each ligand indicated that the Ligscore1 and the Dockscore have a moderate correlation with in vitro biological activity. This is the first report on the scoring-correlation studies of carborane ligands with macromolecules. The integrated Gaussian-DS approach has a potential application for virtual screening, De novo design, and optimization of carborane ligands in medicinal chemistry.

This study was carried out to assess hip joint in Labrador retrievers. From 1999 to 2004, 131 Labrador retrievers were tested by British Veterinary Association(BVA)/Kennel club(KC) scoring scheme, 66 were tested by $PennHIP^{(R)}$ method. In this study the mean score by BVA/KC scoring scheme was $12.5{\pm}6.6$ and the mean DI was $0.53{\pm}0.14$. It was found that Labrador retrievers of Samsung Guide Dog school have better hip joint condition than that of Labrador retrievers registered in BVA, and have similar mean DI to PennHIP breed mean score. This study suggested that using both BVA/KC scoring scheme and $PennHIP^{(R)}$ method was a specific method which can make the most possible definitive diagnosis, could provide baseline hip information for the hip joint in Labrador retrievers as Guide Dog.

개인신용평점에서 항목그룹화의 과정은 연속형 특성변수를 밴드로 분할하고 이산형 특성변수는 그룹으로 분할하는 것이다. 또한 평점표는 시간이 지나감에 따라 성능이 떨어지게 되고, 따라서 사용되고 있는 승인점을 조정하여야 한다. 그러나 개인신용평점에서 항목그룹화와 승인점의 조정은 매우 복잡하고 번거로운 과정이라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 비주얼베이직을 사용하여 개인신용평점에서 항목그룹화와 모형평가를 위한 소프트웨어를 개발하였다. 개발된 소프트웨어를 활용하면 항목그룹화에서 최적의 분할과 모형평가에서 최적의 승인점을 쉽게 찾을 수 있다.
