The purpose of this experimental study was to evaluate the effect of immediate orthodontic loading on the stability at the bone-implant interface of titanium miniscrews in a rabbit model. Methods: Forty titanium miniscrews (1.6 mm diameter, 8 mm length) were inserted in the tibiae of 10 rabbits. Twenty test group miniscrews were subjected to continuous orthodontic forces of 200g immediately after implantation for a period of 6 weeks. The remaining 20 control group miniscrews were left unloaded for the same follow-up interval. Removal torque values were recorded using a digital torque gauge. An independent t-test was performed. Results: All the miniscrews were stable, and exhibited no mobility or displacement throughout the experimental period. Histologically, miniscrews were well-integrated into bone. No statistically significant differences in removal torque data were found between the loaded test and the unloaded control groups. Conclusions: These findings suggest that titanium miniscrews can be used as anchoring units for orthodontic tooth movement immediately after insertion.

This study presents the nonlinear dynamic analysis method of the bridge with the seismic isolation bearing. Also the numerical analyses are performed for investigating the response characteristics of the bridge isolated with the lead-rubber bearing under the ground motions compatible to Korea bridge design response spectra. It is found that the pier design force can be considerably smaller than the one for the bridge with the fixed bearing. It is observed that the lead-rubber bearing has the great effectiveness for reducing the longitudinal seismic force in case of the bridges with low and medium periods. Therefore the seismic isolation bearing can be used instead of the fixed bearing for the economic and safe design of the bridge.

Currently, dental implants have become predictable and reliable adjuncts for oral rehabilitation. Osseointegrated implants can be used to provide rigid orthodontic anchorage and have advantages compared conventional orthodontic anchorage especially when there were edentulous areas and implants were scheduled as a treatment plan. Orthodontic force doesn't cause the bone loss of osseointegrated implants. Implant materials, surgical protocols and healing time before loading follow the conventional treatment protocol. Because the implants, once installed, can't change the location, meticulous treatment planning should be preceded. Further investigations are needed to standardize the treatment protocol.

Nitrogen fixing activity associated with 40 varieties of rice was assayed at heading stage by an in situ acetylene reduction method. The in situ acetylene reduction activity and population of nitrogen fixing bacteria obtained on nitrogen-free malate medium for Azospirillum spp. enrichment showed positive correlation. Six Azospirillum spp. with high nitrogenase activity were isolated from the rice roots, from which five spp. were identified as A. lipoferum and one was A. brasilense. The physiological characteristics of the six Azospirillum isolates, that is, carbon source utilization, biotin requirement, antibiotic resistance, indole acetic acid excretion, plasmid profile and protein patterns were compared.

Objective: This study was performed to evaluate functional changes of occlusion after orthodontic treatment by measuring the occlusal force (OcFr) and occlusal contact area (OcAr), and to compare OcFr and OcAr change according to premolar extractions. Methods: Data were obtained from 74 patients who had finished orthodontic treatment using fixed appliance aged between 18 and 40 years. Subjects were divided into groups who had four premolars extractions or non-extraction (Male extraction-16, Male nonextraction-18, Female extraction-19, Female nonextraction-21). All subjects were asked to bite pressure-sensitive sheets into maximum intercuspation with maximum bite force, and OcFr and OcAr were evaluated by measuring the sheet with a CCD camera. Records were taken right after debonding, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after debonding. Results: OcFr and OcAr increased gradually in all groups during the 1 year retention period (p < 0.05). Male groups showed higher OcFr and OcAr than female groups throughout the retention periods (p < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences of OcFr and OcAr between extraction and non-extraction groups in both males and females (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Occlusion was improved functionally throughout the 1 year retention, and premolar extraction did not induce a decline in the functional aspect of occlusion.

국내외의 자동차 메이커는 고효율, 저공해 자동차 개발에 집중하고 있으며, 그 방법으로 하이브리드 자동차가 최우선시 되고 있다. 하이브리드 자동차의 밧데리 팩을 구성하는 핵심 부품 중 하나인 고전압 직류 릴레이는 주행 중 엔진 구동력을 보조하는 구동모터에 전기 에너지를 공급하는 밧데리의 출력을 개폐하는 기기이다. 고전압 직류 릴레이의 개폐 동작시 발생하는 소음은 자동차 운전 중 실내로 유입되어 운전자의 승차감을 떨어뜨리는 요인이 되므로 릴레이의 개폐 동작시 발생하는 소음 저감을 위한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 폐로(ON) 동작시 발생하는 소음 저감을 위해 소음원인 충격력을 감소시키기 위한 이중 접압스프링 구조를 제안하였으며, 소음 저감 성능평가를 수행하였다. 먼저 정확한 충격해석을 위해 고전압 직류 릴레이의 최소 동작 전압인 5.9V부터 상시 인가 전압인 12V까지 총 6개의 전압레벨에서 릴레이의 전자력을 측정하였으며, 기존 접압스프링 구조와 이중 접압스프링 구조에 관하여 외연적 탄소성 유한요소 프로그램인 LS-DYNA를 사용하여 충격해석을 수행하였다. 고전압 직류 릴레이의 소음원인 가동전극과 고정전극에서 발생하는 일차 충격력과 가동철심과 고정철심에서 발생하는 이차 충격력을 비교, 평가하였다.

본 논문에서는 고압 대전력 3상 유도전동기의 고정자 권선을 이용한 전압원 인버터의 병렬운전 방식을 제안한다. 현재 사용되고 있는 대부분의 4극 이상 대전력 유도전동기는 각 상의 권선이 외부에서 접근이 가능하도록 외부단자가 설치되어 있으며, 이들 외부단자를 이용하여 복수대의 전압원 인버터를 병렬운전하여 대전력 유도전동기를 구동할 수 있다. 이와 같이 고압 대전력 유도전동기를 복수 개의 전압원 인버터를 병렬 운전하여 구동할 경우, 특정 인버터의 고장발생 시 비록 구동 토크는 감소될지라도, 나머지 인버터로 시스템을 계속 구동할 수 있어 시스템의 고장대처능력을 향상시킬 수 있다. 또한 병렬 운전되고 있는 각 인버터의 스위칭 동작에 대해 서로 위상 차를 갖게 함으로서, 등가 스위칭 주파수를 증가시켜 출력 토크 리플 감소와 입력 전류 리플 감소, DC Link 커패시터의 크기 감소와 같은 좋은 특성을 얻을 수 있다. 또한 각 인버터로의 전력의 분산에 의해 시스템에서 발생하는 EMI 영향을 감소시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 방식을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 특성을 증명하였다.
