Accounting for the additional damages come out from non-proportional loading path effect, material damage according to crystal structure dependence was studied. Microscopic observations of damaged material by SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) showed crystal structure dependence. Biaxial in-phase loaded specimens showed the slips of same direction, which pararell each other, but biaxial 90.deg. out-of-phase loaded specimens showed multiply crossed slips. S. H. Doong and D. F. Socie reported that wavy/planar or planar slip material showed the increase in the cyclic hardening level during non-proportional cycling. From these results, the additional hardening and non-proportional loading effects were related with slip mechanism, and the slip mechanism was related with crystal structure. In the present study, a damage mechanism which accounts for the non-proportional loading effect from crystal structure dependence was considered and applied to A17075-T651.

Dynamic responses of a multi-span simply supported bridge are investigated to examine the effect of bearing damage under seismic excitations. The damaged bearings are modeled as sliding elements with friction between the superstructure and the top of the pier. Various values of the friction coefficients are examined to figure out the effect of damaged bearings with various levels of peak ground accelerations. It is found that the global seismic behaviors are significantly influenced by the occurrence of bearing damage. It should be noticed that the most possible location of unseating failure of superstructures differs from that in the bridge model without considering the bearing damage. It can be concluded that the bearing damage may play the major role in the unseating failure of a bridge system, so that the damage of bearings should be included to achieve more rational seismic safety evaluation.

Background: Spinal cord ischemic injury during thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic surgeries remains a potentially devastating outcome despite using various methods of protection. Neuronal voltage-dependent sodium channel antagonists are known to provide neuroprotection in cerebral ischemic models. This study was designed to compare the neuroprotective effects of phenytoin with those of hypothermia in a rabbit model of spinal cord ischemia. Material and Method: Spinal cord ischemia was induced in New Zealand white rabbits by means of infrarenal aortic cross clamping for 25 minutes. Four groups of 8 animals each were studied. The control group and the hypothermia group received retrograde infusion of saline only ($22^{\circ}C$, 2 mL/min); the normothermic phenytoin group and the hypothermicphenytoin group received retrograde infusion of 100 mg of phenytoin at different rectal temperatures ($39^{\circ}C$ and $37^{\circ}C$, respectively) during the ischemic period. The neurologic function was assessed at 24 and 72 hours after the operation with using the modified Tarlov criteria. The spinal cords were harvested after the final neurologic examination for histopathological examination to objectively quantify the amount of neuronal damage. Result: No major adverse effects were observed with the retrograde phenytoin infusion during the aortic ischemic period. All the control rabbits became severely paraplegic, Both the phenytoin group and the hypothermia group had a better neurological status than did the control group (p < 0.05). The typical morphological changes that are characteristic of neuronal necrosis in the gray matter of the control animals were demonstrated by means of the histopathological examination, whereas phenytoin or hypothermia prevented or attenuated these necrotic phenomena (p < 0.05). The number of motor neuron cells positive for TUNEL staining was significantly reduced, to a similar extent, in the rabbits treated with phenytoin or hypothermia. Phenytoin and hypothermia had some additive neuroprotective effect, but there was no statistical significance between the two on the neurological and histopathological analysis. Conclusion: The neurological and histopathological analysis consistently demonstrated that both phenytoin and hypothermia may afford significant spinal cord protection to a similar extent during spinal cord ischemia in rabbits, although no significant additive effects were noticed.

본 논문에서는 공간적 보간을 응용하여 손상된 영상 구획의 데이터를 복원하는 기법을 제시한다. 이러한 기법은 손상된 영상을 부가 정보 없이 복원하는 오류 은폐의 핵심으로 Park[3], Wang[4], Sun[9], Lee[7], Hemami[8] 등에 의해서 여러 가지 기법들이 제안되었다. 그러나 이러한 기법들은 단순히 주변 구획과의 경계면에서의 연속성만을 고려하여 복원하므로 구획 내부의 데이터를 복원하는데 한계가 있으며 계산량도 많은 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 기존의 기법들의 단점을 극복하기 위하여 Non-Unform Rational B-Spline(NURBS)을 응용한 복원 기법을 제안한다. 제시된 주변 구획의 오류 유무와 윤곽선의 방향에 따라 주변 구획의 화소 정보에 할당되는 가중치를 적절히 변경하여 NURBS를 적용한다. 따라서 윤곽선의 방향을 더욱 견실하게 복원함으로써 주관적, 객관적 관점에서 기존의 기법보다 우수한 영상 구획 복원 성능을 얻을 수 있다. 정지 영상에 대한 컴퓨터 모의 실험 결과 제안하는 알고리듬을 기존의 기법보다 30% 구획 손실율에서 0.5 dB이상 성능 향상을 얻을 수 있음을 관찰하였다.

Dental professionals are exposed to various occupational risks, among which the problem of hearing damage has been newly revealed. There have been some researches reporting that noise occurring in a dental office exceeds the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) Standards. Especially, the pediatric dentists are repeatedly exposed to an additional noise source called the crying sound of children in addition to all kinds of noises from dental instruments. Accordingly, this study intended to investigate the noise environment likely to affect pediatric dentists and to examine the possibility of resultant hearing damages. The level of noise was measured respectively, when various dental instruments (ultrasonic scaler, high-speed handpiece, low-speed handpiece) are operated, when children are crying, and when both occasions take place simultaneously (from the distance of 30 cm) with a portable noise meter. And the daily duration of pediatric dentists exposed to the noise environment was surveyed. The results were compared with the standard value of noise threshold of NIOSH, OSHA, and that of hearing damage of CRA News letter respectively. Considering the intensity and exposure time, the noise environment of pediatric dentists exceeds the allowable noise threshold values. Even only one exposure to crying child was likely to lead to permanent hearing damage. Comparatively, pediatric dentists have a higher risk for occupational hearing damages, and some active measures are thought highly desirable to minimize it.

The structural strength tests are usually performed to evaluate the structural strength and to verify the structural design and analysis of the vehicle structures. In this paper, the development of a compressed loading type apparatus to load distributed force over the surface of vehicle structure subjected to external loads was described. This apparatus is for structural materials which are easily to fail because of concentrated stresses. This apparatus can apply loads to specimens without any damage on the test specimen's surfaces by using flexible membrane and can be applicable to several kinds of surface profile of structures. The structural strength tests for the flat structure and curved structure with this apparatus were successfully performed, and the test results showed that this type of loading apparatus can be adequate to verify the structural integrity of the fragile structures.

발목에 대한 유착성 테이핑의 적용은 물리치료 분야와 운동 트레이닝 분야에서의 일반적인 치료 접근 방법이라 할 수 있다. 즉 발목 염좌 같은 손상을 예방하기 위한 방법과 재활의 부가적인 치료 형태로 이용될 수 있는 것이다. 본 연구는 발목의 테이핑과 트레드밀에서의 30분간 보행이 수직 착지 동작 동안 하지의 운동 역학적 요소들에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 알아보기 위해 시행되었다. 14명의 신체 건강한 대상자들 (남:10, 여:4)이 본 연구에 참여하였다. 한발로 서있는 동안 40 cm의 높이로 뛰게 하였다. 가자미근, 전경골근, 안쪽넓은근, 넙다리 두갈래근에 근전도 전극이 부착되었다. 테이핑된 신체 부위로 착지하는 동안 근전도와 힘판(force plate) 자료가 500 Hz의 주파수로 수집되었다. 대상자들의 우세쪽 하지 발목에 테이핑을 하였고, 대상자는 한발로 뛰어 내리는 동작을 반복하였다. 트레드밀에서 30분 동안 발목에 테이핑을 한 채로 보행하였고 이후 한발로 뛰어 내리는 동작을 반복하여 수행하였다. 테이핑을 적용한 상태와 테이핑한 채로 30분 동안 트레드밀에서 걷기 운동을 한 조건에서 수직 지면 반발력의 통계학적으로 유의미한 증가가 있었다. 착지 동안에 네 가지 상황에서의 최대 내측 가속도의 유의한 차이가 있었고, 그 차이는 테이핑 전과 테이핑을 한 채로의 운동 조건에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 테이핑한 상태에서 가자미근은 접촉되는 착지 순간부터 최대 수직 지면 반발력이 나타나는 동안의 평균 근전도의 수치에 있어서 유의한 감소가 있었다. 반면에 다른 근육들에서는 아무런 변화를 보이지 않았다. 비록 발목 테이핑이 발목 손상의 위험을 줄이는데 효과적이라고 일반적으로 인식되고 있으나 이번 실험의 결과는 30분 동안의 트레드밀에서의 보행 후 테이핑은 발목의 움직임을 제한하는 효과는 있지만 한편으로는 가자미근의 활동을 감소시키는 것을 보여주었다. 따라서 이 연구의 결과는 테이핑을 하면 점프와 착지로 이어지는 동작 중에 발목관절 손상 위험을 증가시킬 가능성이 있음을 보여주었다.
