One of the major causes of stiffness and strength degradations in laminated composite structures is the delamination between composite layers. In most engineering applications, laminated composite structures have certain curvatures. If the curved composite structure is subjected to bending that tends to flatten the composite structures, through the thickness stresses can be generated in the thickness direction of the composites. Under normal operation open mode delamination could occur at the sites of peak interlaminar stress. This paper describes a technique to determine radial direction stress of a laminated composite structure using a curved beam. Stacking sequence effects of interlaminar stress were studied. The radial location and intensity of the open mode delamination stress were calculated and compared with the results obtained from the analytical solution and finite element method.

Owing to the development of multimedia and communication technologies, multimedia data become a common feature of the information systems and are on the increase. This has led to the need of 3D shape retrieval systems that, given a query object, retrieve similar 3D objects. Therefore, shape descriptor required to describe a 3D object effectively and efficiently. In this paper, a new descriptor for 3D model retrieval based on shape information is proposed. The proposed descriptor utilizes the curvedness together with the shape index that provides local geometry information. The existing 3D Shape Spectrum Descriptor (3D SSD), which is defined as the histogram of shape index values, represents the characteristics of local shapes of the 3D surface. However, it does not properly represent the local shape characteristics, because many points with different curvedness may have the same shape index value. Therefore, we add a new feature that represents the degree of curvedness, thereby improving the discriminating power of the shape descriptor. We evaluate the performance of the proposed method, compared with the previous method. The experimental results have shown that the performance of retrieval has been improved by 23.6%.

An efficient method for calculating the nonlinear stiffness of the Progressive Multi-Leaf Spring is developed and evaluated. It utilizes the interaction between the main and help spring that induces the nonlinearity. The main and the help springs are modeled as multi-leaf cantilever beams, and, then, they are integrated as one by connecting the two models for each side of the Progressive Multi-Leaf Spring at the center-bolt. The results from the developed model are evaluated by use of the commercial FEA program, ABAQUS. The nonlinear spring coefficients calculated by FEM analysis yield the numbers very close to the numbers calculated for the spring coefficients by used of the developed method. From the comparative evaluations, the developed method is accurate enough and very efficient in calculation time for evaluating the nonlinear spring property of the Progressive Multi-Leaf Spring.

The origin of ${\alpha}$$_2$ peak was regarded as the detrapping process of ions trapped with 0.9[eV] deep originated from impurity-ion remained in the specimen during production process of the material, in the crystalline regions. The origin of ${\beta}$ peak was concluded to be due to the depolarization process of "C=0"dipole with the activation energy of 0.75[eV] in the amorphous regions. The origin of ${\gamma}$ peak was responsible to the process combined with the depolarization of "CH$_3$", chain segment, with the activation energy of carriers from the shallow trap with 0.4[eV], in he amorp

Robinow syndrome or fetal face syndrome is a rare inherited disorder characterized by short stature, mesomelic brachymelia, hypoplastic genitalia, and a typical facial appearence ("fetal face") with frontal bossing, hypertelorism, ear abnormalities, a short upturned nose, long philtrum, micrognathia, and macrocephaly. Intraoral features have included quite a few dental cavities, crowding, hypoplastic uvula, cleft lip or/and cleft palate, gingival hyperplasia, alveolar hyperplasia, enamel hypoplasia, delayed eruption, and congenital missing of the permanent teeth. We report on a 10 years old girl with Robinow syndrome. The patient had most of the typical anomalies of the syndrome and negative family history but, in addition, had mental retardation, hearing loss, and serous otitis media. Intraoral findings included dental cavities, crowding, hypoplastic uvula, repaired cleft palate, and mouth breathing. Dental treatment and V-tube insertion(by dept. of ENT) were performed under general anesthesia. In all cases of Robinow syndrome, thorough evaluation and united treatments with medical specialists should be performed.

Semi-flexible liquid crystalline polymers containing a mesogenic group and an octamethylene flexible spacer in the main chain were synthesized by solution polycondensation. The mesogenic group in the polymer consists of four aromatic rings connected by ester and ketone, ether, sulfide, methylene, sulfone, or isopropylidene linkage groups. This paper discusses effects of the central linker of the mesogenic group on polymer properties. The structures and properties of synthesized polymers were investigated by $^1H$-NMR, FT-IR, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and polarizing optical microscope (POM). Polymers having bent linkage groups exhibited low thermal transition temperatures, narrow mesophase temperature ranges, low liquid crystallinity, and good solubilities in organic solvents, while those having bulky linkage groups were amorphous and exhibited high glass transition temperatures.

Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) is an important molecular cytogenetics technique that maps abnormal copy number of specific DNA sequence of the chromosome. CGH is based on quantitative digital image analysis of ratio images from fluorescently labeled chromosomes. In this paper, we would like to introduce how recently developed image analysis algorithms are used for CGH techniques. To average the ratio profile of each chromosome, binarization, skeletonization, and stretching of chromosome images have been studied. Developed algorithms have been implemented in the karyotyping system ChIPS commercially developed at Biomedlab Co. Ltd.

Purpose : Kabuki syndrome is a multiple congenital malformation syndrome with mental retardation. It was named after its characteristic appearance, a face resembling that of an actor in a Kabuki play. To date, six Korean cases of Kabuki syndrome have ever been reported. Here, we present the phenotypic and genetic characteristics of six patients with Kabuki syndrome. Materials and Methods : Between 2003 and 2009, six Korean girls have been diagnosed and followed up as Kabuki syndrome at Center for Genetic Diseases of Ajou University Hospital. Their clinical and laboratory data were collected and analyzed by the retrospective review of medical records. Results : All six patients showed the characteristic facial dysmorphism and developmental delay. Persistent fingertip pads were also found in all patients. Most patients showed postnatal growth retardation (83.3%) and hypotonia (83.3%). Opthalmologic problems were common, particularly for strabismus (83.3%). Congenital heart defects were present in three patients (50%). Skeletal abnormalities including 5th finger shortening (83.3%), clinodactyly (50%), joint hypermobility (50%) and hip dislocation (16.7%) were also observed. There was no patient who had positive family history for Kabuki syndrome. Cytogenetic and molecular cytogenetic analyses including karyotyping and array CGH could not reveal any underlying genetic cause of Kabuki syndrome. Conclusion : Korean patients with Kabuki syndrome showed a broad spectrum of clinical features affecting multiple organ systems. Although clinical manifestations of Kabuki syndrome have been well established, our results failed to detect recurrent chromosome aberrations which could cause Kabuki syndrome. Its natural history and genetic background remains to be further studied for providing appropriate management and genetic counseling.

The 18 isolates of soybean red crown rot pathogen(Calonectria ilicicola) were isolated from infected soybean plants showing chlorosis symptom and red perithecia sign in 2002 and 2003 season in Korea. The morphological characteristics of the typical isolate SC03-15, such as macroconidia and macrovesicles in anamorph as well as perithecia, asci and ascospores in teleomorph, were observed from red crown rot pathogens. The perithecia were red-brown globose to ovoid, and $357.9(312.5{\sim}391.5.7){\mu}m$ high and $474.3(419{\sim}535){\mu}m$ diameter. Asci were hyaline and clavate and included 8 ascospores, which were straight to slightly curved, 1(-3)-septate, and $36.9(31.1{\sim}49.4){\times}5.2(4.5{\sim}6.1){\mu}m$. Macroconidia in anamorph were cylindrical, hyaline and in size $73.2(68.1{\sim}77.6){\times}5.8(4.9{\sim}6.8){\mu}m$. Further identification process was performed through molecular method, such as a phylogenetic analysis by rDNA sequencing of ITS and $\beta$-tubuline genes of all isolates tested in this study. All isolates were identified as Calonectria ilicicola by DNA sequencing of ITS and $\beta$-tubuline genes, and morphological characteristics.
