Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of metal primers and thermocycling on shear bond strength between the orthodontic bracket and gold alloy. Methods: For this study, 80 specimens made of dental gold alloy were divided into 8 groups based on the combination of metal primers (none, Alloy primer, Metaltite, V-primer) and thermocycling (with and without thermocycling). Shear bond strength testing was performed with a universal testing machine. Bond failure sites were classified by a modified ARI (Adhesive Remnant Index) score. Results: All metal primer treated groups showed a significantly higher shear bond strength than the only sandblasting treated group without thermocycling (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences on shear bond strength in the groups with thermocycling (p > 0.05). Bond failure sites of the metal primer treated group without thermocycling occurred at gold alloy/adhesive interface, whereas there were no differences on bonding failure sites in the groups with thermocycling. Conclusions: These findings suggest that using metal primer on gold alloy enhances the initial bracket bond strength. But, this effect was not shown with thermocycling.

Various methods have been applied for the research to model the relationship between rainfall-runoff, which shows a strong nonlinearity. In particular, most researches to model the relationship between rainfall-runoff using artificial neural networks have used back propagation algorithm (BPA), Levenberg Marquardt (LV) and radial basis function (RBF). and They have been proved to be superior in representing the relationship between input and output showing strong nonlinearity and to be highly adaptable to rapid or significant changes in data. The theory of artificial neural networks is utilized not only for prediction but also for classifying the patterns of data and analyzing the characteristics of the patterns. Thus, the present study applied self?organizing map (SOM) based on Kohonen's network theory in order to classify the patterns of rainfall-runoff process and analyze the patterns. The results from the method proposed in the present study revealed that the method could classify the patterns of rainfall in consideration of irregular changes of temporal and spatial distribution of rainfall. In addition, according to the results from the analysis the patterns between rainfall-runoff, seven patterns of rainfall-runoff relationship with strong nonlinearity were identified by SOM.

In this study a series of bench scale test are conducted to increase the undrained shear strength of clayey soils using by Electro-kinetic injection stabilization method. The sodium silicate was injected in anode reservoir and its concentration was changed with 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500mM for configuration of applicability of Electro-kinetic injection stabilization method. Also, the treatment time and electric gradient was changed to acquire the optical influence factors. For increasing the shear strength to maximum values, the calcium chloride and aluminium hydroxide, which concentration was changed with 50, 250, 500, 750, 1000mM, were added at anode reservoir for 5 days after the treatment of sodium silicate in 5 days as the 2nd additives. The test of results in determination of sodium silicate concentration show that the undrained shear strength at each point had a tendency to converge into a constant value when the concentration of sodium silicate came to 1000mM and above. The maximum shear strength increasement was 800% compared with initial value. After a series of test, the electric gradient and treatment time for application of electric fielld were 1V/cm and 6 days. In case of 2nd additives test, the concentration for maximum shear strength is 250mM in all additives and the effects of shear strength improvement was developed approximately 20~30% in comparison to addition of single injection material.

X-ray fluorescence sprectrum signal include the continuum. XRF analysis the components of material by the amplitude of peaks. XRF remove the noise and background. To remove the noise, we apply the smoothing filter. And background removal methods applied such as SNIP, Morphology, Threshold methods. In this paper, we applied Threshold using DWT. Interval threshold method divide the some blocks in particular levels. We propose the method that is divided the particular level.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of multiple application of all-in-one dentin adhesive system on microtensile bond strength to caries-affected dentin. Twenty one extracted human molars with occlusal caries extending into mid-dentin were prepared by grinding the occlusal surface flat. The carious lesions were excavated with the aid of caries detector dye. The following adhesives were applied to caries-affected dentin according to manufacturer's directions; $Scotchbond^{TM}$ Multi-Purpose in SM group, Adper Prompt $L-Pop^{TM}$ 1 coat in LP1 group, 2 coats in LP2 group, 3 coats in LP3 group, $Xeno^{(R)}$ III 1 coat in XN1 group, 2 coats in XN2 group. and 3 coats in XN3 group. After application of the adhesives, a cylinder of resin-based composite was built up on the occlusal surface. Each tooth was sectioned vertically to obtain the $1{\times}1\;mm^2$ sticks. The microtensile bond strength was determined. Each specimen was observed under SEM to examine the failure mode. Data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA. The results of this study were as follows; 1. The microtensile bond strength values were; SM ($14.38{\pm}2.01$ MPa), LP1 ($9.15{\pm}1.81$ MPa), LP2(14.08{\pm}1.75$ MPa), LP3 ($14.06{\pm}1.45$ MPa). XN1 (13.65{\pm}1.95$ MPa). XN2 ($13.98{\pm}1.60$) MPa, XN3 ($13.88{\pm}1.66$) MPa, LP1 was significantly lower than the other groups in bond strength (p < 0.05). All groups except LP1 were not significantly different in bond strength (p > 0.05). 2. In LP1, there were a higher number of specimens showing adhesive failure. Most specimens of all groups except LP1 showed mixed failure.

최근의 컴퓨터 및 기타 통신망의 급속한 팽창 과 고속화 및 발전으로 인터넷이 없는 일상 생활은 상상할 수 도 없을 만큼 우리와 밀접하게 연결되어 있다. 특히 타 국가에 비하여 초고속 통신망이 일반가정에까지 광범위하게 연결되어 있는 우리나라에서는 인터넷의 사용자가 전문가로부터 주부에 이르기까지 그 사용자 층과 사용범위가 매우 광범위하며 그 적용분야가 나날이 증가하고 있다. 이는 1969년 미국방성의 ARPANET 프로젝트를 시발점으로 하여 USENET, BITNET 등으로 이어지는 과거 인터넷의 전통적인 학술 및 군사적 사용목적에서 그 사용범위가 크게 확대되어 요즈음은 오히려 상업적 목적의 사용이 훨씬 더 활발하고 다양한 양상을 띠고 있는 것과 무관하지 않다.(중략)

해마 뉴런의 시냅스에서 발생하는 전류는 후시냅스의 생화학적 반응을 통해 다음 뉴런으로 전달된다. 즉, 시냅스는 정보를 전달하는 매개로서 전시냅스에서 입력된 정보에 의거하여 후시냅스로 보내는 전류량을 조절하게 된다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 시냅스 기전 신경망 모델은 기존의 신경망과는 달리 시냅스에서 일어나는 반응-확산(reaction-diffusion) 모델에 의하여 입력과 출력의 관계를 결정한다. 제안된 신경망을 분류 문제에 적용한 결과 은닉 뉴런층 없이도 좋은 성능을 보였으며, 이 신경망은 앞으로 뇌에서의 생화학적 뉴런 학습 양상을 연구하는 모델로 사용될 수 있다.
