Teeth wear and extrusion of antagonist are commonly observed in deep bite patient having severe vertical and horizontal overlap. These problems cause collapse of occlusal plane and abnormal anterior guidance. Without restoring harmonious occlusion, loss of multiple teeth and decreased masticatory function could not be prevented. To resolve problems associated with deep bite, multidisciplinary treatment including oral surgical, orthodontic and prosthetic treatment should be performed. This clinical report describes the results of increasing occlusal vertical dimension with a full-mouth restoration procedure. The treatment procedures include extraoral and intraoral examination, diagnosis, treatment planning, diagnostic wax-up, segmental osteotomy, orthodontic intrusion and prosthodontic rehabilitation. Full mouth rehabilitation with increasing occlusal vertical dimension can solve esthetic and functional problems.

Deep overbite patients who do not have proper occlusal relationship may cause problems such as teeth wear and antagonist extrusion. These lead to the collapse of occlusal plane and esthetic problem. Increasing vertical dimension is frequently essential to resolve those problems. This case report demonstrates a full-mouth rehabilitation for a patient with severe deep bite that contacts surface to surface by increasing vertical dimension. Treatment procedures included diagnosis, treatment planning, implant surgery, and prosthodontic rehabilitation. Satisfactory results were obtained in functional and esthetic aspects.

Severely worn dentition is frequently multifactorial. It is crucial that the etiology of excessive wear be determined, but accurately diagnosing the factors responsible for tooth wear is often confusing. Before initiating the treatment of these cases, meticulous examination and determining vertical dimension are essential. A 69-year-old male patient had the chief complaint that he has worn dentition and functional and esthetic discomfort. Based on model analysis and diagnostic wax up, new vertical dimension had been determined. Provisional restorations were cemented and after 5 months permanent prostheses were fabricated. This case reports a satisfactory functional and esthetic clinical outcome achieved by restoring the vertical dimension.

Provision of in-vehicle warning information is of keen interest since it can be effectively used to prevent traffic accident on the road. This study evaluates the effectiveness of information provision modalities based on kansei engineering. Various warning information scenarios using different modalities are devised for the evaluation. Statistical data analysis techniques including factor analysis, correlation analysis, and the general linear model are used to assess the user's affect for information modalities. The evaluation result shows that the provision of visual information consisted of 'text and pictogram' leads to higher understandability. The combination of beep sound and voice message' was identified as a more effective modality for auditory warning. In addition, the red color for the blinking warning signal was preferred by users.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this case report was to determine the effect of therapeutic exercise on posture, pain, and muscle activity in two patients with forward head posture (FHP). METHODS: A-31-year-old male (patient A) and a 19-year-old women (patient B) presented with FHP, neck pain, and headache. The therapeutic exercise program consisted of cervical mobilization, deep cervical flexors strengthening, and cervical extensors stretching, for 40 min/d, 2 d/week, for 8 weeks. Neck pain (VAS), neck disability (NDI), cervical range of motion (CROM), lateral view of cervical spine X-ray (indicating the FHP), and asymmetrical neck and shoulder muscular activity ratio were measured before, after 4 weeks, and after 8 weeks of corrective exercise. RESULTS: VAS and NDI decreased in patients A and B after exercise compared to before the program. CROM increased in patients A and B at flexion, extension, side bending, and rotation after exercise compared to before the program. FHP decreased in patients A and B at distance after exercise compared to before the program. In addition, asymmetrical neck and shoulder muscles activity ratio improved in patients A and B after exercise compared to before the program. CONCLUSION: We demonstrated in a case report that therapeutic exercise increases ROM, decreases pain and disability of neck, FHP, and asymmetry muscle activity ratio in patients with FHP. These finding have clinical implications for therapeutic exercise in patients with FHP.

International Civil Aviation Organization(ICAO) adopted VOR(Very high frequency Omni-Range) as an international standard air navigation system in 1949 and recommended every country to make use of it in formulating air route and guiding take-off and landing of an aircraft. VOR is quite a useful navigation system so that more than 2,000 VORs are currently installed all over the world including 39 in the Republic of Korea; however, VOR signal could be easily affected by its circumstance like a mountainous area because it provides navigation information to an aircraft through AM and FM of VHF carrier. There are two types of VOR which are defined according to a design methode. Therefore this study intends to investigate which type of VOR is suitable for mountainous area. For that purpose, the performance of each CVOR and DVOR is measured and analyzed by using an aircraft equipped with measuring instruments. The analyzed result will be applied and utilized in selecting the VOR type, so it could be a feasible solution of problem related to the VOR relocation due to its insufficient performance in the future.

Recently, there are cases where anterior esthetic prostheses are fabricated for better esthetics, but biologic, mechanical factors could be overlooked, too focusing on esthetic factor. This leads to changes in neutral zone, dentition, position of tongue and lips, occlusion and anterior guidance causing inaccurate pronunciation. Therefore, consideration of systematic diagnosis and treatment procedure are required. In this case, prosthesis was refabricated through a systematic diagnosis and treatment procedure using four factor (acoustic analysis, esthetic analysis, occlusion, neutral zone) for the patient who complained of inaccurate pronunciation and esthetics of the fixed prosthesis fabricated 10 years ago. Thus, by promoting functional, esthetic recovery, this case report demonstrates satisfying results to both the patient and dentist.

For the understanding of the complex flow characteristics in the counter-rotating axial flow fan, it is necessary to investigate the three-dimensional unsteady flow fields in the counter-rotating axial flow fan. This information is also essential for the prediction of the aerodynamic and acoustical characteristics of the counter-rotating axial flow fan. Experimental study on the three-dimensional unsteady flow in the counter-rotating axial flow fan is carried out at the design point(operating condition). Three-dimensional unsteady flow fields in the counter rotating axial flow fan are measured at the cross-sectional planes of the upstream and downstream of each rotor using the $45^{\circ}$ inclined hot-wire. Three-dimensional unsteady flow fields in the counter-rotating axial flow such as the wake, the tip vortex and the tip leakage flow are shown the form of the velocity vectors and the velocity contours.

Decrease of occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) due to loss of teeth structure and destruction of the occlusal plane by severely worn dentition may cause cross bite or temporomandibular joint disorder by following change of facial feature or the loss of anterior guidance. Full mouth rehabilitation via an increase of the OVD can be considered to avoid this problem and proper evaluation of patient's OVD is essential. An 80 year old male visited for overall prosthodontic treatment, cross bite due to continuous wear and following decrease of the OVD were observed. We analyzed the existing occlusal relationship using the diagnostic cast, the radiographic evaluation and clinical test, and then proper increase of OVD was selected. The new OVD on diagnostic wax up was placed by the temporary restoration. After 3 months of observation period, final restoration with fixed partial dentures and implant overdenture were made. Throughout the follow-up period of 8 months, the aesthetic and functional improvement can be obtained.
