This study was an investigation of the anode heel effect caused by changing the angle of the x-ray tube. We established the following conditions for experimental measurements: 70 kV, 30 mAs, focus-detector distance of 100cm, and a collimator setting of $35{\times}43cm^2$. The measurement points were set up at the center of the collimator and extended to each side in intervals of 3.5cm, with points A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6 on the anode side and points C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6 on the cathode side. We measured the entrance surface dose from point A6 to point C6 with each point perpendicular to an x-ray tube. And we did the same when measuring different angles of the x-ray tube from 15 to 30 degrees for every point on the anode and cathode sides. Using perpendicular x-ray tube, we found that the entrance surface dose of the A5 point was three times higher than that of the C5 point. Thus, we conclude that if the anode side is placed near highly radiosensitive organs, then there will be less radiation exposure when using a perpendicular x-ray tube. When imaging using x-ray tube angles, an angle to the cathode side can reduce the gap of the entrance surface dose on both the anode and cathode sides. When imaging areas where there are differences in thickness between the upper and lower sides, the angle to the cathode side that is closer to the thicker area can reduce the gap of the entrance surface dose and capture a higher quality image.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the kinemaitc gait parameter of lower extremities with different gait conditions(level walking, stairs, ramp) in old adults. Fourteen healthy older adults participated in this study and kinematic data were measured using 3D motion analysis system(Vicon, Oxford Metrics, England). Statistical analysis was used one-way ANOVA to know the difference of lower extremities angle at each gait phase with a different gait conditions. In sagittal plane, pelvic anterior tilt increased in stairs and ramp climbing and hip and knee flexion increased in stairs climbing but ankle dorsiflexion increased in ramp climbing. In frontal plane, pelvic was up in stairs and hip abduction and adduction more changed in stairs climbing than level walking. Knee varus and ankle inversion increased in stair climbing. In horizontal plane, pelvic internal rotation increased in stairs and ramp climbing and knee internal rotation increased in stairs climbing but ankle external rotation increased in stairs climbing. This results was shown that the stairs and ramp climbing changed the kinematic gait parameters of lower extremities in healthy old adults.

A liquefied natural gas(LNG) in cryogenic liquid is converted back into gaseous form for distribution to residential and industrial consumers. In this re-gasification process, LNG supplies a plenty of cold thermal energy about $83.7{\times}10^4kJ/kg$. The LNG cold thermal energy is utilized for the re-liquefaction process of cryogenic fluids such as Nitrogen, Hydrogen and Helium, and ice manufacturing process and air-conditioning system in some advanced countries. Therefore, it is also necessary to establish the recovery systems of the LNG cold thermal energy around Incheon, Pyungtaek and Tongyung LNG import terminals in our country. Methane is used as working fluid in this paper, which is the major component of LNG over 85 % by volume, in order to investigate the flow behavior characteristics of LNG with phase change at low heat flux. This paper presents the effects of pipe diameters, pipe inclinations and saturation pressures on the flow boundaries of methane flowing in a cryogenic heat exchanger tube, together with those of nitrogen, propane, R11 and R134a. The outcomes obtained from this theoretical researches are also compared with previous experimental data. It was also found that the effect of pipe inclination on the methane flow boundaries was significant.

In the present study, flow characteristics and wind noises around the sunroof opening are analyzed variation with panoramic sunroof deflector angle. A mesh deflector is attached to reduce wind noise while a car is driving with the panoramic sunroof opening. A new forward inclined type deflector was invented to improve wind noise. The effect of this new concept of mesh deflector on the open-panoramic flow characteristics and wind noises were studied with CAT (Computer Aided Test) and wind tunnel test, which shows the reduction of open-panoramic wind noises such as sunroof buffeting, sunroof booming, and turbulent noise. Therefore, the forward inclined type deflector can efficiently improve wind noise with the same production cost.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to find an inclination slope of the screw thread that is favorable in distributing the stresses to alveolar bone by using three dimensional finite element analysis. Materials and methods: Three types modelling changed implant thread with fixed pitch of 0.8 mm is the single thread implant with $3.8^{\circ}$ inclination, double thread implant with $7.7^{\circ}$ inclination and the triple thread implant with $11.5^{\circ}$ inclination. And three types implant angulation is the $0^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$ and $15^{\circ}$ on alveolar bone. The 9 modelling fabricated for three dimensional finite element analysis that restored prosthesis crown. The crown center applied on 200 N vertical load and $15^{\circ}$ tilting load. Results: 1. The more tilting of implant angulation, the more Von-Mises stress and Max principal stress is increasing. 2. Von-Mises stress and Max principal stress is increasing when applied $15^{\circ}$ tilting load than vertical load on the bone. 3. When the number of thread increased, the amount of Von-Mises stress, Max principal stress was reduced since the generated stress was effectively distributed. 4. Since the maximum principal stress affects on the alveolar bone can influence deeply on the longevity of the implants. When comparing the magnitude of the maximum principal stress, the triple thread implant had a least amount of stress. This shows that the triple thread implant gave a best result. Conclusion: A triple thread implant to increase in the thread slope inclination and number of thread is more effective on the distribution of stress than the single and double thread implants especially, implant angulation is more tilting than $10^{\circ}$ on alveolar bone. Thus, effective combination of thread number and thread slope inclination can help prolonging the longevity of implant.

This paper reports the experimental study of natural convection heat transfer with $Al_2O_3$-water nanofluid. Experimental apparatus was a cylindrical enclosure with adjustable fluid layer thickness, and the aspect ratio was varied between 10.9 and 30.4. Heat transfer coefficients seemed to have reached a steady value within 30 minutes as the case with pure water. But, decrease in heat transfer coefficient continued for over $1{\sim}2$ hours for inclination angle of $0^{\circ}$, and oscillation in heat transfer was observed for certain inclination angles and aspect ratios for over 10 hours. Oscillation shape and period depended on the aspect ratio and inclination angle. For example, the oscillation period for $0^{\circ}$ was more than twice that for $60^{\circ}$. The maximum Nusselt number occurred at the inclination angle of $30^{\circ}$, and the minimum occurred at $60^{\circ}$ for Rayleigh number less than 1.E5. However the present results were obtained with aggregated nanofluid and would be devoid of generalities.

This study examined the relations between degree of posterior dental compensation and skeletal discrepancy in Class III malocclusion. The pretreatment lateral cephalogras and dental casts of 87 skeletal Class III adults were selected to provide a random sampling of skeletal Class III malocclusion. Skeletal discrepancy was described with ANB angle, Wits appraisal, SN-Mn plane angle, FMA and ratios of basal arch width. Degree of posterior dental compensation was described with maxillary intermolar angle, mandibular interolar angle and sum of intermoloar angle. The relationships between skeletal discrepancy and degree of posterior dental compensation were analyzed with simple correlation analysis, stepwise multiple regression analysis. The results were as follows 1. A strong association was found between the variation in the anteroposterior measure, ANB angle and the variation of posterior dental compensation measures, sum of intermolar angle and mandibular intermolar angle in skeletal Class III malocclusion. 2. There was no statistically significant relationship between the variation in the vertical measures and the variation of posterior dental compensation measures in skeletal Class III malocclusion. 3. There was no statistically significant relationship between the variation in the anteroposterior and vortical measures and degree of basal arch width discrepancy.

각종 음성질환에 있어서 음성검사는 진단뿐 아니라 치료를 위한 중요한 방법으로 알려져 왔다. 특히 수술전후 음성질환의 평가에는 음성검사 뿐 아니라, 후두스트로보스코피를 이용하여 비교함으로써 가능하다. 이중 후두스트로보스코피는 방법이 간단하여 직접 수술전후의 변화를 알 수 있는 장점이 있으나, 객관적인 자료로는 이용하기가 어려운 문제점이 있다. 후두스트로보스코피의 영상자료를 컴퓨터에 연결, 영상신호를 디지털화하여 후두의 움직임을 객관적으로 관찰하려고 시도되어왔다 특히 편측 성대마비 환자에서는 성대의 위치가 외전 될뿐만 아니라 피열연골의 위치가 마비 후 시간이 경과됨에 따라 외회전 하고 성대가 전방으로 위축되어 성대 막성부의 길이가 짧아지는 틀의 후두스트로보스코피의 영상을 보이고, 성대폴립환자에서는 수술전후에 폴립의 크기와 성문면적에 변화를 보이게 된다. 본 연구의 목적은 편측 성대마비와 성대폴립과 같은 각기 다른 두 질병에서 음성경사와 후두스트로보스코피를 이용한 이미지 화상분석을 통해 각 성대의 길이, 각도, 성문틈의 면적과 폴립의 크기등을 측정함으로써 수술전후의 차이를 알아보고, 이미지 화상분석과 음성검사 사이에 어떠한 상관관계가 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다.
