Mechanical removals in decayed teeth have been performed using drill and sharp hand instruments. These methods have some disadvantages such as pain, local anesthesia and overextended cavities Therefore chemo-mechanical excavation of dentin carious lesions has been introduced. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of traditional mechanical methods using burs and chemo-mechanical methods (Carisolv) of caries dentin. Mechanical caries removal was carried with low speed round bur Chemo-mechanical caries excavation was performed with Carisolv (Medi-team), using the Carisolv hand instruments. The mean time to remove caries with two different methods was evaluated and the data analyzed with SPSS software (ver 11.5) by t-test (p < 0.05). For histomorphometry of caries removal were also carried with mechanical or chemo-mechanical (Carisolv) methods from 20 extracted caries permanent molars. Complete caries removal was verified with a $\#$23 sharp explorers, Caries Detector (Kuraray Co. Japan), and standard apical radiography. 1. Chemo-mechanical method was taken more times than mechanical method (1.5 fold) (p < 0.05) 2. Excavation for caries took more time for molar lesion than premolar lesion, and the least time was taken to remove the caries in incisor lesion (p < 0.05). 3. There were no significant differences to remove the caries between the maxilla and mandible (p > 0.05). 4. The remaining carious dentin was detected after the ckemo-mechanical removal of the carious dentin, and no smear layer were seen after the mechanical and chemo-mechanical removal of the carious dentin.

Biodegradation is a natural weathering process by microorganisms to decompose spilled oil or environmental contaminants. To accelerate this process, applying nutrients (fertilizer) or more microorganisms to naturally occurring microorganisms is called 'Bioremediation.' Presently, most popular response technique to spilled oil is mechanical cleanup using booms or skimmers. For the alternative to this technique, chemical dispersants, in-situ burning are used. Another promising alternative is bioremediation and it can clean oil contaminated seashore during enough time. In this paper, types of bioremediation technologies, its usage potential, and important consideration issues when applying this technique were summarized.

In order to recycle the waste bumper, techniques removing coated paint on a bumper is crucial. Chemical methods are known to be much more effective in removing the paint compared to physical methods. However, the chemical methods generally use toxic solvents and consequently cause environmental pollution. In this study, we tested a new method which combines the chemical and physical method to reduce the amount of solvent and increase the paint removal efficiency. We found that mechanical stirring increases the paint removal efficiency in soaking stage of solvent. When solid particles as a stress transfer media are incorporated into the solvent and high mechanical stirring is applied, the paint removal efficiency is very high. It was proved that the combined method can accomplish high level of the paint removal efficiency maintaining low amount of solvent consumed.

Objective: Small orthodontic mini-implants are useful as anchorage. However they have some weaknesses such as loosening. This study was carried out to analyze the mechanical effects of the dual pitch and diameter on the insertion and removal torque of mini-implants. Methods: The threads of mini-implants were mono and dual pitch. The diameters of mini-implants were 1.4 mm and 1.6 mm. Four groups were tested (mono 1.4 mm, mono 1.6 mm, dual 1.4 mm and dual 1.6 mm). All were inserted and removed on polyurethane foam with the torques being measured. Results: The maximum torque of the dual pitch groups was higher than the mono pitch groups during removal but lower during insertion. The maximum torque of the 1.6 mm diameter groups was higher than the 1.4 mm diameter groups during insertion and removal. The dual pitch 1.4 mm group showed the lowest insertion torque but had similar or superior levels of removal torque to that of the mono pitch 1.6 mm group. Conclusions: The dual pitch especially showed a continuous high removal torque after the peak. Despite the small diameter, the dual pitch might improve the initial mechanical stability.

Chemomechanical approach to caries removal was introduced in order to preserve the maximum amount of sound tooth structure. The efficacy of chemomechanical caries removal was assessed using microcomputed tomography which offers 3 dimensional data without destroying the tooth, and the V works program. In group 1, the density values of the sound dentin, carious dentin, and remaining dentin after chemomechanical treatment were analyzed. In group 2, the density values of the sound dentin, cavity wall prepared using high speed bur, and the remaining dentin after additional $Carisolv^{TM}$ gel application on the same cavity were analyzed. The results were as follows; 1. The density value of the remaining dentin after the $Carisolv^{TM}$ treatment was 81.8% of the sound dentin(p < 0.001). 2. The density value of the remaining dentin after the conventional rotary instrument showed no statistically significant difference from that of the sound dentin(p = 0.234).

The purposes of this study were to evaluate and compare the frequency of ceramic bracket fracture, frequency of enamel fracture, bond fracture site, adhesive remnant index after mechanical and electrothermal debracketing, to evaluate effectiveness of high and low speed rotary instrument and ultrasonic instrument during residual adhesive remnants removal, and to measure resin film surface(percentage) using by image analyser(Leco 300). Bond fracture site, bracket fracture, and enamel surface damage were examined by scanning electron microscope. The following results were obained : 1. In the mechanical debracketing group, the bond failed predominantly at enamel-adhesive interface with the bulk of adhesive remaining on bracket base. 2. In the eletrothermal debracketing group, the bond failed predominantly at adhesive-bracket interface with the bulk of adhesive remaining on enamel surface. 3. The most effectiveness of residual resin removal was obtained by means of the resin polishing bur and the order of scratch formation was the procedure using tungsten carbide bur, ultrasonic scaler, sof-lex disc, and polishing bur. 4. The order of the resin film surface percentage was ultrasonic scaler, tungsten carbide bur, sof-lex disc, and resin polishing bur.

Accelerometers are widely used to measure the lateral vibrations of pipe-like structures such as a gun tube under impulse loads. Stress waves that precede the lateral vibrations due to the explosion within a gun contribute little to the vibrations, but saturate the accelerometer input. A mechanical filter eliminates this high-frequency stress wave and only transmits the signal corresponding to the lateral vibrations. The mechanical filter consists of a mechanical structure for mounting the accelerometers and a damping material. The low-pass filter characteristics are determined from the equivalent damping and stiffness property of this damping material. In this paper, we tested nine commercially available damping materials for their vibration characteristics by using a test rig. We also observed the change in the vibration characteristics while compressing the material. We designed and manufactured a mechanical filter and verified its filtering performance.

본 연구의 목적은 기계에 의한 객관적 오염제거 평가와 육안에 의한 주관적 오염제거 평가를 비교하기 위한 것이다. 본 연구를 위해 백색의 순면직물과 65%/35% 폴리에스테르/면직물 시료에 9가지의 오염을 각각 처리한 오염포를 제작한 후, 세탁 실험을 하였다. 주관적 오염제거의 평가는 오염시키지 않은 포를 기준시료로 하여 오염포와 같은 조건으로 세탁한 후, 오염제거도를 AATCC Gray Scale for Staining으로 평가하였다. 세탁 후 오염제거도를 객관적으로 평가하기 위해서 각 시료의 K/S values, CIELAB, CMC, ASTM E313 Whiteness Index(WI), ASTM E313 Yellowness Index, and CIE tristimulus values를 구하였고. 세탁에 의한 control 시료의 반사율 변화에 대한 오염포의 반사율 변화를 비교한 오염제거율(PSR)을 구하였다 육안에 의한 주관적 평가 결과와 기계에 의한 객관적 평가의 결과와의 관계를 파악하고자 상관분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구 결과, 주관적 평가와 객관적 평가사이에 유의적인 상관관계가 확인되었으며, 주관적 평가 결과 중 WI가 주관적 평가 결과와 가장 상관관계가 높았으며, PSR과 주관적 평가 결과와의 상관이 상대적으로 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 백색포의 오염 판정이 필요한 산업체에서 현재 많이 사용하고있는 PSR보다는 WI나 다른 색차를 이용하여 객관적 오염 평가를 하는 것이 주관적인 오염평가 결과에 더 근접할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.
